Windows 10: No permission to save to D:\ drive

I know this question has been asked before, but none of those answers have been able to help me. I have a C:\ drive and a D:\ drive on my computer. For some reason, my computer decided that the much smaller C:\ drive would be the better option to save things to. Now my C:\ is very full and I still can't save anything (word documents, photos, etc.) to my D:\ drive. I've tried setting my D:\ drive as the default save location, I've gone into the security tab in the properties of my D:\ drive, but still nothing works. If anyone has any suggestions to how to fix this problem, they would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!


Also, just a note - I'd rather not do something that involves uninstalling everything and files possibly being lost because I'm currently studying for my A-Levels, so I've got lots of school work and portfolio/university things that I cannot lose.

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.

• 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.

Cannot save to D Drive


I installed a clean install of Windows 10 onto my C Drive keeping my D Drive with my files. Now I cannot save to my D Drive even though I have given myself permission to allow all on my D Drive. Can anybody help please? TIA

 

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.
