Solve : D: Drive has disappeared?

Answer»

D: DRIVE in my Dell Optiplex GX-240 desktop pc running XP Professional has DISAPPEARED.  I can't find it anywhere.  What should I do?More info...Have you looked under the desk?

WHAT is d: drive? What happened before it "disappeared" May be you have a different file system format, for instance you format c drive using ntfs and d drive using another format.
 
  Try to check this , and if its true reformat d drive using the same file system format as c drive.

Ummm...the drive would still show up...

And i'd never suggest a format until we know what's on the drive and whether there are proper BACKUPS. Quote from: umbra on March 08, 2010, 03:06:06 PM

This post is 100% incorrect. DO NOT reformat anything. And we still don't know what d: drive is. Quote from: QRWalker on March 08, 2010, 01:31:43 PM

1.  What is/was "D:" drive?
     a.  Separate physical drive:
          (1)  Hard drive
                 (a)  Internal
                 (b)  External
                 (c)  What interface:  IDE, SATA, USB
          (2)  Flash drive
          (3)  CD/DVD drive
                 (a)  Internal
                 (b)  External
                 (c)  What interface:  IDE, SATA, USB

     b.  Logical drive (or volume) sharing physical drive with other logical drives or volumes.Sorry if i was misleading, in this case this action i have done.

Any way i am curious to see and learn other solutions.

Regards,I meant to say that D: drive is the CD-Rom drive and E: drive is the DVD/CD drive.  After booting on an antivirus cd, both drives disappeared or are not showing.

I cleared the malware which was a Trojan Fake, but now the disk drives don't show.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
