  1. Locked D drive


    Alright. Here's the problem ladies and gentlemen:

    -My computer crashed and I did a full restore. During the full restore, windows failed to load.

    -During the process, I accidentally wiped my back up from the command prompt (which I'm doing a recovery on right now)

    -After finally getting windows installed (a different version. Insider vs regular) so that I can further fix the problem, my other backup on the D drive is inaccessible due to permissions.

    Steps taken:

    -Tried changing permissions in properties, access denied

    -Tried changing permissions from admin control prompt, access denied.



    I don't know what else to do besides possibly reformatting and recovering (1tb)

    I wiped the external (because I wasn't paying enough attention) from the command prompt and it won't even recognize the external by its name, just drive X.

    This has been a headache and I'm no computer expert. Just trying to fix my laptop so I can recover some extremely important files and get back to school work.

    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.

    • 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.

  4. Locked D drive

    Cannot access D drive since upgrading to Windows 10.

    Hello Judy,



    Thank you for replying quickly with the status of the issue.



    Please reply to few more questions:


    • Is the D: drive located on the same hard disk or on different hard disk?

    • Did you have any important data saved on the
      D:
      drive?


    If the D: is saved on another hard disk and you are unable to access it, I suggest you to format the drive completely and check if the issue is resolved.



    To format the hard disk, follow the steps below:




    • Press Windows logo + X keys on the keyboard and select
      Disk management option.

    • Right click on the D: drive and select
      Format option.

    • Wait for the formatting to complete and check if the changes are effective.
