If you install the CD writer software it will probably record for you as it appears to be installed normally in that case. If the E drive is your CD writer and you right click on it in My Computer or Windows Explorer, select Properties and get a message that it is full but zero bytes are being used, then you are getting a normal indication for a CD-ROM or burner without a CD installed. Also where you are checking the properties for it if it isnt there. We need to know what your missing E drive was before it disappeared. If your hard drive is just using one letter, then your CD-ROM should be the D drive. Your CD-ROM would then install as the F drive and if you installed a CD writer it would become G. So if you had a hard drive with three partitions it would use C, D and E. Some people break their hard drive up into partitions that operate like separate hard drives. If you just have one hard drive it will be your ∼ drive. Your hard drive is where everything is stored on your computer when it is off, and where the computer goes to get the stuff when its running. It isnt possible to have had two E drives. How do I 'dis-connect' the cd rom drive? Un-plug something inside the computer's hard drive?Ĭolumbo was trying to determine what is missing. I don't know what you mean by a 'partition'. ( I'm not sure but I think I installed the software pc card for the laptop in the desktop as well as the software for the router) Insert the D-Link Air Wireless Adapter and restart the configuration utility. Local Area Connection Network Cable Unplugged - Intel (R) Pro/100VE Network - Location PCI bus 2, device 8, function 0

I have a laptop I want to connect to the internet through my desktop.īoth are telling me there is a problem.

I have been trying to install a network using a Broadband router and a wireless pc card.

Is that possible? Why would the properties say they are full but they have 0 bytes. I think I used to show having two E drives. Okay, now that you know that, will you still try to help me? I'm not even sure what a 'hard' drive is! It's where my motherboard is isn't it?

E drive disappeared windows 10
