I did one System Restore but that did not do the trick. So I will not have to do numerous Restores how may I get my Drive D back? When I go to Computer, the right panel shows Hard Disk Drives (2), Local Disk (C:), and Recovery (D:). Underneath those is Devices with removable storage (1) In the left panel, under Computer, I see Local Disk (C:); under that is Recovery (D:); and under that is DVD RW Drive (E). When I click on (E) I get a message to Please insert a disc into Drive E. I tried to copy the DVD RW Drive from the left panel into the right panel, but it did not work.

I don't see much of a problem here. Your D drive is your recovery partition.. Its use is solely for disaster recovery, so its best left alone. There 's no pointy in trying to move your CD/DVD drive around,…if you need to use it then just insert a CD/DVD in it and it will either autorun or you can access it (as you do currently) via "Computer" It might be an idea to edit your forum profile….a little bit…..just replacing all your computer details with "Vista" will do, and save a lot of space…. I can do this for you if you want Regards paws

Thank you for your reply, Paws. I make a mistake when I said D Drive (not unusual for me):) The CD/DVD drive is the one that I meant. It had been listed in the right-hand panel when I would open Computer, but it suddenly disappeared. I will do as you suggested about inserting a CD/DVD. Yes, will appreciate your deleting unnecesary computer details. You are indeed an officer and a gentleman.
