Windows 10: How do I restore missing files?? everything on my disk drive D was gone and I dont know...

I have an SSD for the system and a separate 500 gb HDD for files, and as stated, everything on my HDD is gone. I don't know what caused it, Its not on my recycled bin, I haven't noticed any changes on my system drive. Everything was wiped out, it shows 465 gb free of 465 gb. The last Windows update was in June. Some important files are on that drive, please help!

D Drive Missing After Fragmentation

Hi,

As the title suggests, my D drive has gone missing after fragmentation.

I have tried to rescan disks in disk management, update driver in device manager, uninstalled recent windows updates but still unable to locate my D drive.

Based on event logs, it’s showing me event ID 51.

D drive was able to be fragmented on 1st May 2023 and on 2nd May onwards, it just went missing.

Any idea what else I could do?

Thank you!

 

Woke up to a missing D Drive

I keep my files on a D Drive (Internal Hard Drive) on a Dell Desktop

I woke to have the entire drive either deleted or missing

Under Disk Management it DOES NOT show up

I DONOT have a restore point unfortunately

Please walk me through steps to get this back

 

D: drive is missing from disk manager, nothing works

My computer started freezing and lagging when I tried to open a file from D: drive, so I restarted it.

When I did, the D: drive was gone, along with files I really need.

It's not in the disk managment, and the drive installer is fully updated. I went through the solutions, but non seemed to work. Any suggestions?
