My OS runs off my C Drive. My D Drive is purely a back up for files - no programs are installed on it.
Yesterday my computer was behaving strangely - it wasn't booting at all at first. After a couple of hard resets, the computer ran a long disk check on the D Drive and repaired some files. Once I could get back into my OS, my D Drive would open very slowly and any file on it would take ages to open, or if it was a video, periodically stall while playing.
I decided to try and reformat it, but the format option in Disk Manager is greyed out. I even tried to do it from the command prompt and it was not allowing me, claiming that the system is running off this drive. It isn't.
I've unplugged the D Drive while I figure out what's wrong. Is this a virus or has something become corrupted?
