I am lost, will try to keep this short: Suffice to state that I have had a long stretch of computer problems. With the assist of my support person,I was able to restore the brand-new Dell desktop Windows computer and to use Macrium X to at least use the program to restore a C:\ drive with a Macrium backup that was known to be good.
Using the Macrium rescue program was not viable, and I had been informed that restoring the drive directly from Macrium could cause problems. After getting much of the C:\ drive back to usable condition, I turned to Macrium to restore the D:\ drive, only to find that there is no such location, but the files that belong there exist. That engendered my search for help in creating a new D:\ drive. This was meaningless to me in some cases, such as changing the drive in whatever location I was sent to, a change that could not be made and other useless so-caed assistance.
That led me to my restored Windows 11 Forum, or perhaps more to the point, my finding that my Tab Bar entry works, which allowed me to ask here for the class of expert assistance that has helped me in the past.
