    D drive suddenly missing?


    Yesterday I went to play a game I had on steam which was installed onto my D drive. I realized that the icon for the game just showed the white piece of paper with the corner folded, and upon clicking on the icon it said that the application was not found. The steam icon was also replaced by this piece of paper, and upon clicking on steam it read "The drive or network connection that the shortcut 'Steam.lnk refers to is unavailable. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available, and then try again." Also, when I go to This PC in the file explorer, only the C drive shows up. I've already tried rescanning the disks in disk management, but it still doesn't show up. I have an MSI GL62M 7REX laptop running Windows 10. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

    :)

  3. D drive

    Hi,

    Based on the details you have provided us, it appears that there might be some corrupted contents on the said partition. We can also consider that this is caused by a virus.

    For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

    • Type Command prompt in the search bar.
    • Type-in the following command:

      attrib -h -r -s /s /d D:\*.*
    • Press Enter to execute the command.

    If you think that there is nothing important stored in it, then we suggest that you reformat your D drive so that you can use the free space for important files.

    You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

    • Click on the File Explorer.
    • Select This PC.
    • Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
    • Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

    Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.
