So I got myself a new pc and was in the process of installing ubuntu to my old pc so that i could delete windows but keep a few files because i had no extra hard drives thing is ubuntu wasn't letting me do anything to the drive all i wanted to do was make a partition

i tried to go back to windows but only got a black screen tried to use the disk to refresh and it said the disk was locked

i then tried to use the command prompt from within the disk to rebuild but the EFI partition was gone tried to create it but it said the disk needed to be something else

i then reinstalled windows on my ssd which only has 128 gigs which is the one going into my new pc

windows installed and i tried to access the disk but now it has no drive letter

i tried to assign it in disk management but the option was greyed out and i notice windows still sees it i just can't assign a drive letter so that i can take the data out

i would just say forget it because i have back ups but the problem is my backups only have half of the data

i really need to access this data and would appreciate it if someone could assist me

 

sorry for all the bad punctuation im just so worried about this i just don't care about it

This is not the most terrible problem ever. Some years ago I was testing a stack of systems and one had a power supply the blew up like a string of fire crackers and shocked the hell out of me when I plugged it in. Did this shock and burn you? Didn't think so. :P

muh specs 

Gaming and HTPC (reparations)- ASUS 1080, MSI X99A SLI Plus, 5820k- 4.5GHz @ 1.25v, asetek based 360mm AIO, RM 1000x, 16GB memory, 750D with front USB 2.0 replaced with 3.0  ports, 2 250GB 850 EVOs in Raid 0 (why not, only has games on it), some hard drives

Screens- Acer preditor XB241H (1080p, 144Hz Gsync), LG 1080p ultrawide, (all mounted) directly wired to TV in other room

Stuff- k70 with reds, steel series rival, g13, full desk covering mouse mat

All parts black

Workstation(desk)- 3770k, 970 reference, 16GB of some crucial memory, a motherboard of some kind I don't remember, Micomsoft SC-512N1-L/DVI, CM Storm Trooper (It's got a handle, can you handle that?), 240mm Asetek based AIO, Crucial M550 256GB (upgrade soon), some hard drives, disc drives, and hot swap bays

Screens- 3  ASUS VN248H-P IPS 1080p screens mounted on a stand, some old tv on the wall above it. 

Stuff- Epicgear defiant (solderless swappable switches), g600, moutned mic and other stuff. 

Laptop docking area- 2 1440p korean monitors mounted, one AHVA matte, one samsung PLS gloss (very annoying, yes). Trashy Razer blackwidow chroma...I mean like the J key doesn't click anymore. I got a model M i use on it to, but its time for a new keyboard. Some edgy Utechsmart mouse similar to g600. Hooked to laptop dock for both of my dell precision laptops. (not only docking area)

Shelf- i7-2600 non-k (has vt-d), 380t, some ASUS sandy itx board, intel quad nic. Currently hosts shared files, setting up as pfsense box in VM. Also acts as spare gaming PC with a 580 or whatever someone brings. Hooked into laptop dock area via usb switch

got this far

the data has no volume

Hate to say this man but,

you're beyond me...

I'll lurk and if anything comes to mind I'll holler. But this is just beyond my realm of knowledge right now....
