Thread: Can't access D: partition

I have a laptop 2.5inch drive as well as I have attached it to my xp machine through a cable and the drive appears but I can’t access the d: partition?

What do you mean you can't access? What exactly was the error?

Did you format the D: drive.

Good point. When I built this computer I was freaking out as my WD Caviar Black (G :\) wasn't being identified by Vista in 'My Computer'. I knew it came un-formatted but I thought that was how you were believed to format it. Luckily it took me a total of 10 minutes to go into diskmgmt.msc as well as format the drive.

I think you might be system problem. Or D : drive have infected by any virus.
