Logical Drives disappear - how does this happen?
My wife tells me this morning that her data drive disappeared. I check out her laptop and sure enough, her data drive D: and her Image drive E: are not shown in Windows Explorer or My Computer.
I look in Disk Management and the space that was occupied by those 2 volumes is now a Green box and labeled: "Free Space". Right clicking gives only 2 options: delete volume and create new volume.
The Recovery Partition, the System Reserved Partition, and the C: drive are all there and healthy.
I fire up Partition Wizard and use the Partition Recovery Wizard. It finds both missing volumes. Apply changes, and everything is back to normal.
My question is "how does this happen"? Any guesses as to what could have caused this?
