D Drive Suddenly Missing in Windows 10/11? (Solved with 5 Solutions)

the 1st solution did bring back the D: partition but it was a fail. Even though the drive is almost full it read No files. The other solutions didnt work neither on the disk management it still was no D: partition so did not have the option to change drive..But my regards to @bentoothpaste8849 it was simple , turn off the swith from the back of power supply wait a couple of min and restart, it WORKed, Thanks

Your are a professional ❤

I tried everything, nothing worked. My computer had a pending update that required restarting, I did several times and the notification wasn't going away. I gave up and went to sleep, this morning I turned the computer on, it recognized the HD (D:) the windows update still not applied. And now I'm doing a back up to the cloud of the important files on that HD.

Hi guys, if this video doesnt work try simply turning your PC off then remove your wires from your hard disk then place it back its work for me i hope its work for you guys good luck .

thanks bro

Super glad everything is worked

After I updated my windwos, I ran into the problem of my PC not being able to start normally, and after further research, I found out D Drive was missing. After opening my PC via secure mode I tried to rescan. But when I went to rescan my disk, the option to actually "rescan" was blocked and gray, therefor couldnt be used.
Any ideas of help?

You are the best bro! You saved my life. Thanks!

My issue is none of those. I was editing photos and my computer locked up. I couldn't even turn it off so I turned the power strip off like I've done before. I turned it back on and opened Lightroom. All of my photos had a question mark by then which meant that the connection with Lightroom to my hard drive was no longer there. I looked into my system and there is no D drive. My C drive is an Nvme and the D drive is a 7200 rpm disc drive. I took the drive out and used a different plug on the ribbon to plug back into the drive to see if that's what it was. Then I turned it back on. It's still not seeing it. The platters are spinning. I know that in some cases the problem is on the drive where the cable connects to it. There something that goes out on them. It can be replaced a lot of times. I don't know what else it could be. I talked to a repair man about it and he said as long as the platters are spinning he can most likely recover everything. I'll just have to buy a new drive. The dad part is, I have a 4 TB extension drive still in the box that I never set up for backup. I've had that drive for over a year now so in the box.

Ok, got it back but now do you have a video that tells me how to get permission to use it? Because now access to Drive D is denied!

Hi guys, if this video doesnt work try simply turning your PC off with the power switch on the back of the PC. After the most recent windows update, my local D drive disappeared and was listed as "unknown", and simply turning the power switch on and off fixed the problem. Hope this helps.

don't forget to update drivers!

Tips based on my experince

First of all before you start the software fixing, check the cable of harddisk first (note: turnoff the power and unplug the power source)
