Default Unable open D drive

Is drive D the second hard disk drive? If so, then check that the drive is
properly identified in BIOS setup. Open a DOS windows and do
FDISK /Setup
to see what Windows sees about the partitioning on the drive. Get a hard
drive diagnostic utility from the www site of the hard disk drive
manufacturer and use it to see if there are any hardware problems with the
drive.

If drive D is something other than a second hard disk drive, then different
procedure will apply.
