The full model is Acer Nitro 6 AN515-55-56R2. The D drive is a separate hard drive, and I didn't know about checking if recognized by BIOS.
Here is the Disk Management.

I reset my PC (via local installation) and now my D drive is missing (reset because of KERNEL DATA INPAGE ERROR). In Disk Management, Device Manager, CMD, System Restore, and AOEMI Partition Assistant, the D drive does not show. (For some reason I cant show a screenshot0. Its like the D drive was removed from my laptop physically.

1-Power off your laptop
2-Power on your laptop while pressing the F2 key repeatedly
3-Once you are in the Bios settings you need to check on the "Information" page to check if both hard drives are recognized
If It's not recognized on Bios you will need to power off your computer, disconnect and reconnect the hard drive to check if goes back to work.
If you can't identify if the hard drive is recognized or not, take a photo of the "Information" and "Boot" page and attach it here.

Sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue.
Please provide some more detail to help to identify what is causing the problem. Which is the full model of your laptop? Are the drive D another hard drive or a partition of the same driver as drive C? If drive D is another hard driver, did you check if is recognized on Bios?
Also, please attach a screenshot of the disk management.
You can see at this link how to include a screenshot in your post.
