Windows 10 updates appears to have upset my standalone music DAW computer after needing to put the computer online to download an AMP simulator program. Anyway to cut a long story short I restored the computer back to earlier date - pre the updates and then found my 'D' drive had been renamed 'I' so using AOMEI I renamed the drive and hey presto everything worked for about a couple of hours saved my work then shut down the computer as normal. When restarting my computer later the D drive is now inaccessible and restore will not work - any ideas please that don't want me to reformat as I have thousands of hours of data on my D drive and don't want to lose any of it? Please help somebody !!!

sorry for the delay, it seems no one has any thoughts.
I'll see if I can get the ball rolling...
the D:\ drive, is that a separate drive or a partition on the system/boot drive?
if separate, I'd would put it into an external UISB enclosure and try accessing it from there.
failing that, I'd try a Linux distro.
and failing that, I'd try some command prompt programs like BCDEDIT and BOOTREC.

make a ubuntu bootable usb or dvd

See if you can access D drive.
As Bruce asked is this a separate drive inside the machine?

Hi thanks for the reply - it's a partitioned data drive. I was trying to upload images but they are apparently too large for the server.
