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.

For us to check if a certain virus is hiding your files, kindly follow the steps below:

• 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.

You can follow the steps below to start with the process:

• Click on the File Explorer.
• Select This PC.
• Right-click on your D drive, then click on Format.
• Follow the on-screen process to finish formatting the partition.

Let us know how it goes so that we can further assist you.

 

How can I set EDGE to by default download to D:\Downloads


Hi:

I do not use Edge, but here is one suggested method (it dates from Aug 2015, but I presume the steps are still valid):

"Location is not available" D:\ drive

So once in a while my D:\ drive seemingly disappears from File Explorer and when I click on "Downloads" on quick access (my downloads are located in the D:\ drive) it gives me an error code "D:\Downloads is unavailable. If the location is on this PC, make sure the device or drive is connected or the disc is inserted and try again. If the location is on a network, make sure you're connected to the network or the Internet, and then try again. If the location still can't be found, it might have been moved or deleted.". Everything usually becomes normal again when I restart it, but yesterday it didn't help, so I assumed a wire came loose inside, so I opened up the box, moved the wire around a little (it didn't seem to be unplugged) and when I turned my pc back on it came back again. How do I fix this? By the way, disc D:\ is a hard disc drive.
