Missing D drive

I had to reset my laptop not to long ago, and when I did I noticed I had lost the D drive, I didn't question this, as I assumed the petition was just something that is done with hard drives, and a reset removes. Until recently when I noticed that I'm missing the 900GB that the D drive had. Any idea how to recover the drive, or the missing storage.

If it helps, it was one hard drives with a partition.
