f drive

Hello Kathy,

Based on the information you have provided in your post; we need to do further investigation. To assist you better, we'd like to know the following:

• Have you tried using a third party software to manage the disk partition?
• Did you format the drive?

We suggest that you check for the drive in the Disk Management and look if it appears. Follow these steps:

• Log on as administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
• Press Windows+R key and type diskmgmt.msc and then click OK.

Look if the Drive F: appears and check if it is unallocated.

Looking forward to your update.

 

F Drive disappeared when I closed a file from it

My F drive just disappeared and I cannot find it either on the My computer screen that shows the C drive and the cd-rom driven it was there about an hour ago, and when I closed a file from that drive, the screen closed that was open on that drive, when I
went to reopen it, it was gone. I'm running WIndows 10, have tried to do the steps listed in an F drive disappeared thread and nothing worked. I have a Gateway computer that has been upgraded. The model is DX4300-15c. My F drive is a 1 TB SSHD. My C drive
is a standard 2 TB HD. All of the files on the SSHD drive are recovered files, including .pdf, .gif, .jpg, .rtf, as well as different version word documents, many image files other than I listed.

I went through great pains to recover these files and now they appear to be lost once again.
