I recently installed windows 7. In doing so, I reformatted Drives C: (Boot, page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition) and D: (System, Active, Primary Partition).
Installation went perfectly until i noticed that when i checked on the Computers tab, I found out that drive "D" was missing. At first I thought that windows 7 somehow merged C: and D; into just one drive, But then I realized that over 50gbs of memory was missing from the remaining drive. I went to Disk management and found a volume that contained the missing 50gbs of memory and that didn't have a letter assigned. I went ahead and changed the drive letter and path but then i could not assign it with the Letter D:. All other letters were available but "D:" was not. Why can't I create a "D: " partition anymore?
All I want is to have the same partitioning as my old laptop where the C: (system, boot, page file, active, crash dump, primary partition) was used for the Operating system and D: (Logical Drive) was used for storing photos, videos, documents etc.
