    Good day -

    Somehow or other, I "lost" my "E" drive.

    Can someone inform me as to how to get
    it back?

    Thanks.

    I'm not an expert... but your "E" drive only shows up when you insert like a memory card reader or something like that... or an external drive? once you unplug those drives from your usb it goes away?? Would you explain more about this problem? ( may be someone that really knows can tell you better lol )

    On my Studio 17, my "E" drive is my DVD drive. Have you checked in Device Manager (Right click "Computer" and click "manage", you may need to click "continue" or "allow" then click "Device Manager") to see if your DVD drive is showing up? Look for the entry "DVD/CD-ROM Drives" on the right hand side of the Device Manager window.
