Drive Problems

[KKLawrence]

Hello,

 

I just built my new PC and installed a new OS. I wanted to save my game progress, so I made a ton of backups on the old harddrives. I only bought a new NVME SSD so the HDD's and my SATA SSD will be kept in the new System.

Unfortunenately I don't have access to the data on the drives, only to some parts but not to the games for example. Thats sucks, having played a few hours and stuff...

Is there a way to solve the problem?

I need a little clarification.

 

The way your post reads to me is you built a new pc with a NVME drive, and you had an old system with a sata SSD and some disk drives. Your problem is that you can't figure out how to access your save game data. Did I read it right?

 

If so, I have some more questions.

1. Did you move your HDD's and sata SSD to your new build? 
2. Are your games from steam or another platform? 
3. What OS are you using?

"can't access" can mean a lot.

 

Are the files visible?

What happens when you try to open them or move them?

You read me like a book!

My old system had a Samsung 970 Evo for Boot, an Crucial MX500 500GB for often played games, a 2TB Seagate Barracuda for my Music Production stuff and an 8TB Seagate Exos for Games and internal Backups.

I use Windows 10 Home and my Steam Games don't show up, my XBox Game Pass Games don't show up, neither does Epic or EA or Ubisoft. Not Even COD on Battle.net.

I moved every drive except the Samsung one.

 

I can't access them without admin rights, but I am the admin. So I can't read them and see them listed. Even on my old pc I now can't read all of them, but some of the games show up

 

Hope that clarifies some of the problems

You probably will have to redownload the steam games on your new pc. The good news is that most of the platforms you mention support cloud saves, so your progress should be automatically backed up. If not, I would put the drives back in your old pc, open steam, and sync your save games to it. I know it is a pain, but it is probably the easiest way.
