    If this changed recently, then I would use the System Restore feature to go back to a time when it was working.

    Having a C Drive is standard. Your D or E drive is probably a CD or DVD drive. So the question is what is the third drive.

    Did this just start? What version of Windows? Where you able to do a restore and it just didn't change?

    First of all you need to be more specific about what the drives are. This would be my guess:

    C: --> onboard hard drive
    D: --> Recovery partition (standard on most windows based machines)
    E: --> unknown
    F: --> cd/dvd rom drive

    So for starters we need to know what the description of the E: drive is and is the problem happening when you click on any drive or only a specific one.
