I recently reinstalled Windows 10, but this time I did it from the USB stick rather than just through the existing Windows 10 installation.
When I looked at my computer drives in Windows, my D: drive was missing.
So I opened up Disc Management, expecting it perhaps to need reformatting, but it's not even showing there.
It's a 1TB Seagate hard drive (not SSD) connected via cables, and I haven't touched those cables.
It's been working for 2 years no problem.
It has some files on it which I would like to recover.
From my websearches, I found that changing the bootup disc order can cause this issue.
And I did change the bootup disc order so the USB would be first.
But I can't find a way to reset the bootup disc order back to defaults.
I have tried shuffling them around in Bios but can't get my D: drive to show up.
Interestingly, when I use bleachbit to clean free hard drive space, it detects there is a D: drive but comes up with an error
that it cannot access it.
Any help would be appreciated.
