Hi Faye,

Is the 'D' drive a separate physical disk, or just a separate partition on a
single disk?

If it is a separate drive, then that drive may be failing. All it takes is
some corruption for Windows to stop seeing the filesystem. One thing to try
is to open the logical disk manager (right  click on "My Computer" and
select "Manage". In the Computer Management window, left click on "Disk
Management") and see what drives and partitions are listed.

I use Microsoft Windows XP and my 'd' drive disappeared they could never
find any reason and was not able to fix - My data was backed up so they
cleared the system and reinstalled everything.  Worked on my computer for 4
days  and on the 5th day went to use the 'd' drive and it once again
disappeared.  Help
me please.     Faye
