December 20, 2025Dec 20 My local disk D on my desk top is completely empty. That's the first time ever I have seen this. What should I use or not use it for? Thanks.
December 21, 2025Dec 21 Are you running two disk drives, or one disk drive with a partition? If two disk drives, perhaps the second drive has died. You will need to replace it. If only one disk drive, seems strange you lose all the data on one partition, but not the other.

Errrr, he said it's the first time he has seen the D drive completely empty, so, I would think he has seen it with some data in the past.

December 21, 2025Dec 21 In October 2025, I replied to one of your posts with: "It seems you get lots of problems with your computer... In order to get rid of all of them, I'd recommend the following: 1. Back up the files you want to keep on an external disk 2. Do a fresh Windows 11 install (with a legit Win 11 version of course!) 3. Install the apps you need (get them from a reputable source) BUT ONLY the apps you DO need (eg: no need to have multiple browsers...) 4. Don't touch anyrhing AND DON'T TRY any new "interesting app" 5. If you really fancy to experiment "new things", use a DISTINCT machine for it (= the "Test Computer") 6, Once you're happy with your machine, put back the files you backed up. 7. Try to elevate your IT knowledge by reading IT books." It appears you're still stuck at the same level.

I have to depend on this forum a lot now as all my farang friends have either died or moved away. Please bare with me on this.
December 24, 2025Dec 24 Not unusual to have empty drives, I have quite a few. Depends on where you put or save stuff...🤗

Please bare with me on this. at least in pattaya there is that tuk com building you can turn to, and i want to emphasize on an advice -1. Back up the files you want to keep on an external disk so that means buy an external disk, plug it in the USB, and start copying asap
