I'm a Windows 2000 user, my D drive has disappeared from my computer and replaced itself with a "removable D" drive? Is there something I can do to get it back?

I just joined and hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Welcome to BC i see this is your first post.

Well I am not sure but was Drive D a partition or a seperate Drive?

Partition

So Drive D was on the same Physical Drive.

Then one day Win2000 showed it as a removable Media Drive.

Well what I would do is get a bootdisk. Boot up into DOS Prompt. Run FDISK and check to see if the Hard Drive is partitioned that way. If FDISK shows that it is then it is Windows2000. Post back after you do that.

FDisk is going to wipe the drive.

Click on the "My Computer" icon.

What does that show?

Click properties on the D Drive. Click for error checking.
You will probably have to reboot.

FDISK will not wipe the disk if you selct display partition settings.

-NT

Thanks for all your help, guys! Nothing works. I'm going to have my WIN2000 checked out.
God Bless!

Can you access the drive either using My Computer or Windows Explorer?

I tried that already, it didn't work. Thanks

Using an account with administrator rights go to computer management.

Click start/programs/administrative tools/computer management

Click on Disk Management in the left pane

Highlight your "D" partition in the right pane

Right click - what choices does it give you?
