D drive problem on my PC

C and D drives are on the same hard drive - it's partitioned. It's been like that for years but today a problem developed when I was deleting something on D and I restarted the PC and D is not opening or show in This PC list.
Can anyone help?

It's not showing D
Oh and I would hazard a guess that it is what was D and that whatever you tried to delete from D is where your problems started.
As much info as possible is needed to for people to remotely diagnose PC problems - do you have a make / model or spec for it? Do you know if it has 2 internal HDD's?
A possible explanation is that you have a second HDD in the machine and that has just gone completely offline - I'm thinking that because I expect to see a "Disk 0" in your disk management view but there isn't one - normally the numbering starts at zero.
Disk 0 isn't always the first installed disk or the C: drive, in my case the SATA drive is "Disk 0" which is my D : drive and "Disk 1" is my NVMe PCIe C: drive / OS.
