drive seems to be missing

My drive (D :) seems to be missing. I have a 300 GB HDD partitioned into 2 half popular with Windows 7 Home Premium-32 bit.

When I go into computer management/storage/disk management it shows as a healthy (OEM partition), but the letter (d) isn't here, and you can't right click.

I've tried everything. Made scans - no viruses - everything works beautifully.

Does anyone know how to restore the drive?

I can't do the system restore.

Hi RosalieH,

Please see the post below with a similar problem and fix possible:

  • Satellite Pro A10 does not start (HARD drive seems to be missing)

    Hello, I hope someone can give me some advice on this problem: I have a 2 years Satellite Pro A10. Recently, it starts not at all and I noticed that if I look at directories on the C: drive using the command prompt, it said "file not found". Cannot start Windows at all, not even in Safe Mode.
    Using the recovery disks is I help spread messages as no such fixed disc and 'Extraction impossible '.
    is - that say I have:
    1 a hard drive damaged
    2. defective connections on the HARD drive? -If Yes, how I fix that?

    the system didn't crash before it happened, she doesn't have to load up when I started it.
    Would appreciate any help.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Well, it could be a hardware malfunction of HARD drive. Yes, it is possible. But I don t think that there is a bad connection. You used this HARD over the last two years and you n t change the settings of connections on this HARD drive. Is this good?
    If it possible s so I suggest you of to completely format the HARD drive.
    Then try to start the recovery procedure.

    However if the HARD drive has a functioning default (ie. crushing of the head), so the only way is to replace this device.

  • Some VPCSE Windows 8 drivers seem to be missing

    My VAIO, model VPCSE16FX, is supported by Sony to upgrade to Windows 8. However, some Windows 8 drivers seem to be missing:

    1. the video drivers Windows 7 are a combination of AMD & Intel drivers while the only driver video Windows 8 listed is "Graphics of Intel® driver." I know that there is a combo for WIN8, driver for switchable graphics. I do not know how to interpret this: Will Windows Installer the driver AMD? Must I download direct from AMD? Should I install the Windows 7 video driver instead?

    2. the other drivers are missing completely from the list of Windows 8; for example, no audio driver doesn't appear, which is a concern that I found that Dolby drivers are essential to make the usable internal speakers. Also conspicuous by their absence in WIN8 list are a number of drivers of Intel/apps as well as the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. I have the same questions here; WIN8 will install these missing drivers? Should I upload them directly from their manufacturers? Can I install the versions of WIN7 instead?

    Thank you!

    Hello
    Thank you for your message
    We know, it lacks the Windows 8 drivers, such as the AMD graphics driver, Audio driver and touchpad for your VPCSE16FX and this driver have referred for consideration.
    We recommend that you check back the Page drivers VPCSE16FX occasionally in the coming weeks, as many models is updated driver that will be posted soon.

  • WindowServer []: GPU Driver seems to be suspended (more than 5 continuous seconds of reluctance)

    Hello

    I have a huge problem with my iMac to year < 1 5K. It seams it is not capable of running tools. At least that is the statement that the Apple dealer gave me the excuse followed, I expect that Apple updated sound driver and hope that the problem will disappear.

    But one after the other. I bought this iMac I have a configuration with the best available (i7) CPU and 16 GB of RAM in April. When I asked if the least performing graphics card is sufficient to run application oll but games, they assured me that this is the case. Then all year there was seldom behavior with this mac, because after a while, he started to suspend for a period at the beginning a few seconds and after some time a little more until it becomes completely unusable because of the high frequency of gels. These gels has disappeared, especially when the focus of the application has been changed (cmd + tab), but come back more and more.

    The first thing I did, I even if this thing is broken and got a new logic board installed, but the ramains problem.

    After all, I discovered that the log is full of statements like:

    WindowServer []: GPU Driver seems to be suspended (more than 5 continuous seconds of reluctance)

    When the application is frozen. So I got the iMac to the dealer. Just today, they called me and told me that this problem is related to all THE tools of creation as Photoshop, but also of music like Ableton and same logic X programs! They told me I have to wait for Apple to arrive with a new driver of the logic board that hopefully solves the problem. I mean that literally, they confirmed that the iMac 5K is not able to run any creative Application at the present time for a longer while.

    My question is, what should people like me do, when the sole purpose of this computer was creative tools. Is there a program to switch to another machine like MacBook or Mac Pro or are the iMacs postum declared as not usable for creativity and buyers, and even less in the rain?

    Sorry, but my last post was so full of typos, I was really offset after the retail bank and need some time to get down. I'm sorry. This is a rewritten version, with most of the corrected errors:

    I have a huge problem with my iMac to year < 1 5K. It seams it is not capable of running tools. It's at least that the statement that the Apple dealer gave me the answer to my problem followed by the suggestion I should expect that Apple updated sound driver and hope the problem goes away.

    But one after the other. I bought this iMac with the following configuration: the best (i7) processor and 16 GB of RAM, Fusion drive and the simplest card in April.

    When I asked if the less powerful graphics card are sufficient to run all applications next to the actual 3D games, they assured me that this is the case.

    Then all year long this mac rarely showed a behavior. Initially, he started to suspend for a period of a few seconds and after some time a little more until it becomes completely unusable because of the high frequency of the freezes. These gels has disappeared, especially when the focus of the application has been changed (cmd + tab), but come back more and more.

    First I though that something is broken and brought it to repair apple, where I got a new board installed, but the problem remains.

    After all, I discovered that the log is full of statements like:

They told me that I have to wait as Apple launches the new driver of logic board, which hopefully will solve the problem. I mean that literally, they confirmed that the iMac 5K is not able to run any creative Application right now for some unknown time - perhaps always.

    My question is, what should people like me do, when the sole purpose of buying this computer was creative tools. Is there a program to switch to another machine such as the MacBook Pro or Mac Pro or are the iMacs postum declared as not usable for creativity and buyers, and even less in the rain?

    I'm really curious since the sill site Web of Apple announced the iMac as a creative Monster.

  • the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased

    I have a MBP with 2 SSD. Yosemite is running on the SSD that has been partitioned 1 TB to a 150 / 850 GB volumes.

    I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but after succesfully download Windows software support that I can not go to the next step where I have to choose a volume (Pluto). Wizard Boot Camp shows my SSD and when I chose the following warning is displayed:

    "the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased."

    I see that Pluto isn't GUID and maybe that's the problem, but there are already some data on the volume of 850 GB that I can't erase. Is there a way to fix this without destroying the data? I don't even know why Pluto doesn't have GUID in the first place...

    Thnx,

    G

    You have two entries 'Pluto '. The outermost is a volume CoreStorage group, which has two volumes, one is named Pluto, the other is TerraNova. The 512 GB of Samsung is your second physical disk. The Pluto in the BC Assistant is the complete LVG, not only the volume of Pluto, which contains also of Terra Nova.

    BCA does not support such a configuration on your MBP. You will need to backup your data or manually partition the disk and do a little terminal work, if you want to install Windows in this configuration. The second SSD will complicate it further. You may need to physically remove the disk non-windows in order to install Windows.

    Your end of 2011 Mac does not support Windows 10 as described in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . You will encounter problems of pilot.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are

    do change.  Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hi @Gjedlicka1

    Sounds like the cartridge and the printer does not communicate. I suggest to remove the cartridges and contacts metal bit wiping on the cartridges. Also take a look inside the printhead to see if there is any obvious damage where the cartridges sit in.

    Here is a link to a document with instructions for troubleshooting (that's for a different model of printer than the one you have, but the recommended steps are the same): http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c04313139
