As the title says, my D drive is gone for some reason.
Here is what happened, I was downloading Tera Rising and decided to go watch some television since its a long download, when I came back the pc told me that something was went wrong during the start up but I did not really payed attention to that and tried to look on the my computer tab for the D drive where I could not find it,
the programs that are installed on D are can still be seen on the start menu but I can't start them cause it tells the station is not available.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Hey Scaleo. You should try huilun02's advice, but before that, try assigning the drive a new letter. Here's a link on how to do that: http://wdc.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/137/. Click on the corresponding OS for detailed instructions (notе that the shortcut paths to your programs will be broken if you change the letter, but it's worth the try). Also if the disk check doesn't turn out to help. Try connecting the drive to a different SATA cable or a different computer to see what happens.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any questions.

How did your PC restart itself while downloading the game?

Anyway it seems your hard drive D is having problems. Hopefully it is fixable and not a drive failure.

Run the checkdisk utility to check all drives for problems.

If it does not even detect your D drive then you have to try again after reconnecting your drive's sata connectors.
