Using pic related from my old pc, has all my files and shit on it. Worked fine before but now Shitdows 10 won't let me give it a letter or even access it, even though it recognizes in in storage settings and MSI Bios let me poke it at the very least.
Wat do, I seriously don't want to lose 1Tb of... stuff...

Oh, I should add that using EaseUS partition thing I can see my stuff inside the drive, in other words the data is not corrupted or anything, windows is just being fucking retarded.

Does it show in the drive manager, if so you need to take ownership of the drive.
Experience: same thing happened with a portable for me

It shows up as a partition, but I can't change any properties. Currently looking for back ways in registry to make the drive think I'm the old jdm.
have you tried restarting it?
maybe try messing with the BIOS settings.
if it has an OS on it, you could try booting from it.

look at my pick
right click where the red dot is, the window appears you already have above
use one of the options in the yellow area
I had the same problem, one of those settings did the trick for me
>blaming it on Windows
you people shouldn't even own a computer, you talk bios and shit but can't even walk the walk
does it connect to your machine via USB? i had one of those. the USB interface died, so i opened the drive case up, removed the drive and plugged it into my machine using the SATA connectors. it's slow, but it works.

slave drive it

Please stop "helping" here.
Grownups are talking and you're in the way.
If apps inside Windows can read the drive, but Windows can't read the drive, then of course the problem lies within Windows. If the problem were elsewhere, then nothing would be able to read the drive.

Can you change the properties on any partition? I'm not calling you a dumbass, but that's what disk management looks like when you forget to run it as Admininstrator.

Those are for dynamic volumes; OP's is a basic volume.

I recommend dual booting Windows and a GNU/Linux distro like Ubuntu for reasons like this. It's an easy recovery option with all of it's disk tools available. Windows isn't compatible with very many filesystems such as ext4. Linux is though. You're using NTFS so this is very odd. Check all of your connections, turn stuff on and off, remove batteries/power cables, etc. If none of that works get an 8GB USB flash drive. Use Rufus and a Ubuntu ISO to make a bootable drive. Then once you boot into select "try Ubuntu" and find your drive by going into the file explorer and clicking other locations. You can copy whatever you like from your old drive to the one with Windows 10 installed. That will allow you to access your data for now. If you have room to copy all of it you could try formatting the old drive. Try using the command line in Windows to access diskpart. That usually works better for formatting unresponsive or unrecognized stuff.
