  1. Drive D not showing in explorer or device manager


    Yesterday night I started some updates for windows and left them over night. Today I turn on my laptop and all the stuff on drive d is gone. My whole drive was gone. It isn't showing up in the explorer, device manager and it isn't even showing up in the bios. However it shows up in the disk management as Disk 0, unknown, not initialized. I tried to do some troubleshooting but nothing worked. Could you please help me?

    :)

    Internal SATA drive show on Device Manager But not on Explorer listing

    I used up all the allowed space in the title there - couldn't put a question mark on the end.

    Drive D not showing in explorer or device manager :)

    Wonder why I can't see the WD hard drive I just hooked up to a SATA port on my H170 board?

    There are currently two seagate drive SATA connected and the DVD drive. And an external Seagate on USB.

    I put the WD in and I can see it in device manager but nowhere else.

    I have a couple of screenshots:

  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.

    Drive D not showing in explorer or device manager def18ae0-b22f-4fb3-8e68-1079460d6ac6?upload=true.png

    after updating my system, this notification used to show up and my computer used to crash to blue screen. so i had to reset my PC and update it again.

    now D drive does not show up.

    I can see D drive as disk 0 in boot but it doesnt show up in device management

    i tried windows memory diagnostic but it did not return any error
