      What do you mean 70% ???? Do you mean that some data got deleted?

    That is good info for an empty drive. I have loaded mine with data from my Win 10 laptop. Now I need software for my new Win 11 laptop. The computer recognizes the drive but I can't get info off it. What's going on??

    Hello,
    What if the drive is not appearing anywhere on the pc?? This is not a new hard drive and I do have files on it that I do not want to lose! It worked on my old pc, but the new pc (windows 10) is not recognizing it at ALL! I cannot seem to find helpful information on this anywhere. Are you able to help?
