    Unallocated Drive but don't want to lose the data

    After windows 10 last update my windows was corrupted and I could not find a fix. After hours of research and trying to find a way to fix my problem I decided reinstalling windows was the way to go.

    I have two internal drives. Drive C and Drive D. My drive C works fine and all my window problems were fixed. But now I don't see my drive D even though it is there. When I ran windows Disk Management it shows the drive but it is unallocated.

    My drive D is loaded with data that I don't want to lose. When searching for a solution, ever solution was an ad for buying software to fix the problem. If that is what I have to do I will but before I take another step I wanted to get feedback. Maybe if I would of done that in the first place I would not be having this problem.

    So the question is. How do I fix my unallocated internal Drive D without losing the data on it.

    Thanks

    p.s. I'm using windows 10

  3. Reinstall windows 10 without losing data

    my laptop currently windows 10 won't boot into desktop or in login screen after I did some force shutdown by holding down power button.

    What to do?

    These are the steps I performed

    1. Bootrec /fixmbr

    2. Bootrec /fixboot

    3. Bootrec /rebuildbcd

    4. Chkdsk c: /f /r /x

    in step 4, I've got an error in step 2 then i close the cmd in advanced boot options.

    now my question is, what other method should I need to do without losing my very important data inside my drive?

    is system repairing using a bootable disk can be use? withput losing data?

    No C: but D: drive has all the data

    Hi Austin,

    To help you with your concern regarding the data on the drive C:, you're seeing the drive "C:" as the drive "D:" because you're booting your computer outside Windows. When booting your computer outside Windows, the system is reading the recovery partition
    as drive C: and the data in the drive C: \ are listed on the drive D: \. Try to boot your computer and try to check again the data in the drive C: \ and see if the data are listed.

    Regards.
