Can you add a little more info?\n\nIs D a CD&#92;DVD drive? Another partition on your hard drive partition?  Another hard drive itself?\n\nAs cliched as it sounds, if you are running a Windows system, rebooting may repair.

Replace the hard drive, if it fixes the problem then you know that they hard drive was messed up, if not, then you got a whole different problem...Good Luck.

First you should check what are the files in good condition on your hard disk.\nconnect your hard disk having data to be recovered as a slave disk, (taking out the tiny plastic connector inserted above the pins behind the hard disk, and then connecting the hard disk to a slot available in the computer will automatically configure it as a slave disk) Then you have to see if it is recognized in the bios. If you are able to connect the hard disk as a slave disk, then you willl see C,D,E,F etc partitions on the computer. They are mixed. C belongs to one hard disk, and D to other. So you have to open the partition to identify which hard disk it belongs to)\n\nCheck all the partitions and then copy any data found immediately on cd/dvd. \n\nIf you do not find what you were looking for on the hard disk, the you can try it with a file recovery software.\nBelow is a link of free file recovery software. You have to install it on a different hard disk having windows, (Do not install the software/any software on the same hard disk that you want to recover data from. Installation of a new program will wipe out previous data present on the  hard disk)\nand \nInstructions of use are given in the help files with the programs.\nFree file recovery software PC Inspector\nhttp://download.pcinspector.de/pci_filerecovery.exe\n\nOnce you run the program to check for lost files on the disk you specify. \nYou will see a list of files on the screen. All the files will have lost their names, and given arbitrary names with numbers. You have to identify the file that you want to get back by its file extension. If you want to get back a photo, then look for files with extensions bmp,jpg/jpeg,tiff,gif etc. \nOnce you locate the file then you can click on it and press the appropriate button to retrieve it back to your desktop.\n\n(Read the help files provided with the pc-inspector program)

You can restore the file only if the place on the hard drive has not been over written. \nTry using a file recovery program like this one:\nhttp://officerecovery.com/freeundelete/

Buy a program that "bleaches" the hard drive space.  Simply formatting the drive still leaves data retrievable, it's just not seen by Windows.

You need to reformat, if you loose any data it can be recovered with this\nhttp://www.ontrack.com/easyrecoveryprofessional/\n\nFirst put in your OS disk, load the OS by creating a new partition.

that depends how you lost it. if your hard drive was formated you don't have any chance to retreive it. if the data was erased you can use a HDD data recovery program such as Recovery Genius. but you won't be able to recover it if it was overwritten on the Hdd.

Just plug in your external hard drive, and start My Computer.  If the hard drive is properly formatted and partitioned, then it should show the drive with a new letter on the same place you will see your "C" drive.\n\nIf it does not show up then you will have to initialise the disk and format the disk for you to begin using it.\n\nAssuming everything is fine, simply drag and drop files into the new drive.  It maybe sensible to create folder and organise your data.\n\nSimply, right click on one of the files/mp3 etc and choose Open or to be more specific choose Open with and select the appropriate program.\n\nAlso before powering down your external hard drive or your computer, remember to disconnect the external drive safely on Windows.  On the System Tray, where your time shows on the bottom right hand corner.  There is an icon if you hover the mouse over it says "Remove Safely" or "Remove Hardware Safely".  Click on this and it will display the devices that are currntly connected.  Click on the entry related to the external hard drive.  If you do not do this, the hard drive can get corrupted.\n\nI lost about 40Gb worth of data by not doing this in a moment of madness.\n\nHope this is helpful.

Well, U should clean it up! If the O.S. drive (Which has got windows installed on) is full, try to uninstall the useless programs which have been installed on ur PC, and don't install any other program on D drive(If windows has been settled on D) If u wanna have ur O.S. on C u should format D and C then install windows on C again which is a lil bit tough for a beginner...\nGood luck;)

Use Fdisk to delete the partition then Reinstall Windows. Doubt its a dead harddrive

Right click on my computer --> manage\n\nGo to disk management and post back and let me know if it sees the hard drive.\n\nDo you have any thing on the hard drive ( I know you said it as new ) but if you have any data on there and you wipe it, you will obviously lose it.\n\nAnyway if not then just format it in disk management and it should then appear in windows.\n\nIf thats not the case then please post back with more specific info , ie motherboard make and model.\n\nIf you need help with getting that info post back as well.
