How Do You Locate a D Drive?
The D drive refers to either a hard drive (Local Disk (D:)) or an optical drive (Drive (D:)). However, it is also possible to change the drive letters so that the D Drive will be a flash drive or some other miscellaneous drive. Locating the D Drive is a simple task and can be done in a very short amount of time.
