  2. 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.

    Move documents from D drive into reinstalled program

    Hi,

    We recommend that you contact the program developer for instructions on how to move your files. They should be able to provide you a step-by-step guide on you can move your documents from the D:\ drive to their program.

  4. I want to make my D drive the home for all things except my system and program files

    Added d drive but can't search for files on it

    Hi,

    To assist you better regarding your concern with the drives on the computer, we suggest that you create a partition for you to be able to do dual boot. Cloning the C: drive will allow you to copy the program files, but not the system files. It is the reason why
    it's not doing anything when you tried to search in file explorer using the D: drive.

    Let us know how it goes.
