Can no longer access 'D' drive ("unmounted volume")

J

Yesterday, while running a video ap, my Win2000 system
rebooted itself. Now I can't access files on the D drive
(2nd partition of C and D physical drive). It still shows
up under "my computer" and in a dos box, but cannot be
accessed. The disk tools "scan disk" and "defrag" list it
as an "unmounted volume". When I boot the system, windows
spits out a message saying the drive has problems and runs
some checks and then says that the files are OK (it does
this twice at each reboot). It lists the volume size,
used and unused sizes and 0 bad sectors, as expected for a
good drive. It is NTFS. The video ap was reading and
writing huge files (multi Gig) doing video rendering.

Help, Jim

Hi, Jim.

accessed.

Does it show up in Disk Management? (From a Run prompt, type: diskmgmt.msc
