Hi

First question, was the E drive on the same HD as the C drive, or was it created on a seperate HD if it was on the same drive read below

its possible that someone had previously used a partition manager to create the E drive, and as most system restores are written by the manufacturer of the PC and will return the HD back to its original condition that is with 1 partition, the C drive, because any user created partitions are removed during the restore then any information is now gone.

However if the E drive exists on an seperate HD then you have either a faulty drive or some other problem.

You could try a file restorer program, there are plenty available, some free, some limited demo's and some that cost money but are worth it.

Let us know

no, they are two seperate drives.

see if you can find in disk manager may just be a simple take posession
thing.
and or
unplug drive reboot power dwn plug back in reboot
it is spinning right?
sometimes I look to 3rd party software like paragon or acronis to fix a windows config drive error


good luck :chef:

Hi

Yep I agree with samtoned, check the BIOS and make sure the HD is detected at bootup, if it isnt check the cables are in tight (remove and reseat to be sure) if you need to take possesion of the files see my link here.
