So nothing currently has the drive letter D? Or maybe virtual drives don't show up in the Disk Management Tool?

I'm guessing you created a virtual drive without meaning to. If you browse your hard drives with Windows Explorer (not IE), does anything show up as a drive D?

It's possible you mounted an iso (or other image file) without meaning to by double-clicking it. That might happen if you have software install that can handle the mounting of disk image files. If it's still mounted, you should be able to see it in Windows Explorer. Drive letters appear in Windows Explorer in Win7 something like this

Yep, that's about the only thing I can think of. Virual drives will not be listed unless an ISO is mounted.

Jenny100, Using Windows Explorer to access My Computer, shows nothing different. Letter D is no where in sight. Whatever happened, happened while I was transferring photos from computer to disc.

Did you do that using a USB device? That would take up a place.

mj2c,
USB drives usually take up the higher drive letters without a problem. I've never seen one boot a CD/DVD drive off its drive letter.

I suspect your finger trembled at an inopportune moment and caused something weird to happen with Roxio. It may be reserving D: just in case you ever decide to mount a drive image. Does your Roxio interface look anything like this?

Mj2c and Jenny100, I did not use a USB device. My Roxio screen matches the image in link except, I do not have "Load Disc Image" in the left hand colunm.

You might try one of the "Options" ***here***.

Or if you're OK with using F instead, just go with that.

Jenny100, I think I will just leave well enough alone, the drive works fine. The disappearance of "D" will remain a mystery.
