{but that drive shouldn't really be showing to you or alan - it should be set as hidden so nobody deletes it by accident...

Did you ever make those recovery disks it wanted you to make last month?

If the D drive is what was deleted go to your recycle bin and restore all that info.

only clean and defrag the C drive unless you know you have more than 1 actual hard drive in your machine.
some people add many but since yours is factory it should only have 1 hard drive installed.


What your recovery files are on is a partition of your C drive and it is called the D drive.
In other words your HD is sectioned for safety and the recover files are in that section.
How could I have accidently deleted my "d" drive?

I just choose the C drive and I clicked on defragment. The other drive is supposed to be hidden? Well, when I bring up DISC DEFRAGMENTER, it has two things to choose from.

C and D.

I didn't choose D, so I gather it's still there? And am I not supposed to defrag D??
