It can make a whole of difference in the performance like video editing, laptop booting, etc. Because SSDs can make your machine a flying machine. Now we can find cheaper laptops equipped with SSD. However, the price of a similar-sized SSD has come down a lot. Earlier SSDs used to be very costly compared to an HDD. It is made of organic chips that store data. If you don’t know, SSD stands for Solid State Drive. To get more speed we need to get rid of those moving parts. You have not assigned the partition in question a drive letter.We all know HDD has moving parts or mechanical arms inside to read and write stuff that we do on our computers. You should be able to assign a driver letter within Disk Management, the only reason this wouldn't be possible, is if a flag is set to explicitly prevent it. You wouldn't have permissions to write to the partition even if you did assign a drive letter to it. The partition should not have a drive letter.
I wouldn't worry about the existence of this key in your registry. However, in the Registry Editor, it is clearly named as the D drive, which you can see here: Registry Editor Image The WinRE partition is not typically assigned a drive letter. The 500 MB partition is your WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) partition. The partitions that were created by the Windows installer, are the default partitions, that are typically created. How can I resolve this so that the D drive is visible? Depending on its contents, I may want to just delete it and reallocate the space.Īs a side note, my HDD (Disk 0 in the above picture) is also detected but does not show up in the File Explorer either, but this may be unrelated to the SSD issue here, and may require its own post. However, in the Registry Editor, it is clearly named as the D drive, which you can see here:
Right clicking on it only gives the "Help" option, so I cannot format it here. In Disk Management, I can see that the third partition is apparently unnamed, as seen in this picture: I did not get a chance to actually look at the contents of D before this, and do not know if it was empty. It was visible in File Explorer initially, but after the initial round of Windows updates, it has disappeared. I do not know why this small D drive was created. When it was done, however, windows had created three partitions: a C drive (Windows install), a D drive (very small amount of space), and an E drive (the remaining space). I set the size of the Windows partition (60 GB), and let it split into what should have been two partitions. I am using an Inland 1TB SSD that I have slotted into my motherboard, which is an ASUS TUF Gaming X570-Plus (Wi-Fi).Īs a part of my Windows 10 install, I created a partition for Windows, wanting to keep the remaining space separate.
