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.

After reinstall of W10, D drive struggles when plugged in.

Hi ! I have used windows 10 since it was released, and i had a in game bug that was leading me to reinstall my W10.

After reinstall:

Getting all programs, and didn't see my D drive or external drives showing up. I tried insert and reject it several times, and then got blue schreen and it's diagnosing every time after i plug it in. Then again, it felt like i had to reinstall a clean W10 to
make sure it wasn't a W10 install fail.

Now today:

External hard drives(3) magically works now finally, since summer!

D drive have to be plugged out, or else, if plugged in, it gives instant blue schreen and it's diagnosing, and doesn't find even main drive C.

Type of D drive:

WD 2TB Sata 64MB cache WD20EARS.

My C disk is my smallest disk, and all my files from before the reinstall is in my D+External drives.

Makes me sad if the D drive is gone. I have 1 TB of files and over 5000 games in it.

The questions:

Is it any idea to help me get the D drive work?

Is it a way to save my files and make it work smooth again?

You may have the answer, and i still got alittle hope left!

Thank you for reading this!

Not enough space on Recovery (D drive.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

Please help me with the following:

1. What is the make and model number of your Computer?
   

Please note that recovery "D" is a partition on the hard drive which contains the image of the Operating system. You can use it to restore the computer back to factory settings. You should not attempt to store files in it.
If you have any data saved on the D drive, I would suggest you to move it to an external drive and to free up some space, you can follow the steps provided in the article:
Free up drive space in Windows 10.



If you are using a HP computer, then you can refer to this article:
HP and Compaq Desktop PCs - What is the Recovery (D Hard Drive?
