I have removed all files from my D Drive on notebook K 215m but 3.8 Gig of 'nothing' remaining!!! Tried 'format' but it wont allow this !! I have closed down everything in case something is open but no joy... Any ideas how to clean out my 'D' drive completely so that I can start again?? It would really be appreciated.. Berkeley
Hi, I did as sugested and started in safe mode and the format started but wouldn't complete... Has error message that Windows was unable to complete the format... The 'properties' shows zero bytes so all has gone but the disk is totally blue and unformatted.... Have tried in safe mode and normal mode but same error message... Any ideas where I go now??? Berkeley
No, D Drive doesn't respond to scan disk or defrag because I suppose the computer doesn't recognise it.... Oh dear, I have a bad feeling about this..... Any further help or thoughts might prevent a sleepless night... Berkeley
If all else has failed then I suggest that you try a full recovery using your supplied CD’s and opt for the C and D drive recovery. Have a look here for further guidance on this.
OK guys... It looks like a full recovery. I think I will go and buy an external hard drive and copy most of C onto it. Maybe I can copy back the important bits when all done and dusted??? If I do this it will mean I will have 3 drives. Any sugestions as to how I should best manage that??? Maybe keep 'c' (18gb) just for the operating programme, D (18gb) for programmes and the new drive for all data??? Whats think??? Thanks for help yesterday.. Berkeley
