Hi
Via EMail, a friend of mine sent the following note:

"When I was defragging the laptop yesterday it only showed a "C"
drive. There is no longer a "D" drive. The defrag message was
"Unmounted Volume" (for the "D" drive). What does this mean? What
happened to my "D" drive"

I did some research about this and found a lot on mounting a drive,
but none on what could have disnounted--if that is still proper
english--the thing.

This is a relatively small data storage partition of the single hard
drive but he says it contains My Documents...naturally.

He did not do the reading on how to mount a drive, so, whatever was
done he was not in the decision making process.

We would appreciate any and all info.

Thanks
joe
 
Have him boot to setup CD, and press 'r' for Recovery Console prompt. Type:

CHKDSK D: /R
