Edna,

Saying that the C: drive disappeared doesn't give us much detail to work
with.  What was/is the error message you see when you try to boot the PC?

When you removed the D drive, did you set the jumper on C to be the only
drive instead of master?
I don't work with Conner drives so I'm not even sure if this is necessary,
but since we don't have any details, it's worth a shot.
