    No D drive and can't expand C drive. E cannot be renamed to D


    My hard drive died last year and replaced it with a 2TB SSD. My IT guy did the install, but he's always been very good, so not sure what happened to cause the D drive to disappear. I want to install a fresh, web downloaded copy of W10, but the system says there's not enough room need 18+ GB. I've cleaned everything I can but can't quite get there. Because there is no D drive, and I can't rename E to D as it doesn't show as an option in the drop-down menu. Any ideas on how to expand C, and add or recover D, if possible, would be grea

    :)

    D and E drives

    Hi johnmansfield

    what sort of media are D and E drives? DVD/CD, HDD, SSD etc.

    did you look in disk management?

    also look in device manager

    right click on start, select device manager

    are there any unknow devices or problems reported?

    if D & E drives are DVD, expand DVD/CDROM drives

    right click on each and select uninstall

    close device manager and restart

    windows will reinstall them.

    Nokia 700 C: D: and E: internal drives showing

    On my 700 I have a C, D and an E drive showing. There is 1.4 GB of 1.5 GB available on drive E free and 293.1MB out of 293.2MB free on the D drive . Why is it there, what goes in it and can I combine it somehow with Drive C so I have more internal working
    space?



    What does the phone use D and E for?
