Hey I have quite a big problem with my old SATA HDD I have removed from my Laptop.
Basically it kept BSOD and Windows kept getting corrupt so I thought new HDD time and try to get the DATA via an external caddy.
I have installed Windows on a brand new HDD and put the old one in a USB caddy to try get the DATA copied over but I'm having no luck
It shows up in Disk Management as 3 partitions only the System Reserved shows up in My Computer the main Partition with the Windows install and all my DATA shows 100% free as in no DATA and this is hidden it wont show in My Computer also it mentions it needs formatting to be used.
I don't know what to do next? I really need my work and the HDD is not formatted it should have all my DATA I just cannot get it!!
Please help
