Posted November 17, 2017 i had a windows 10 installation on my laptop, and for some reason i was having some problems where sometimes it would boot, i gave up and fresh installed windows on another drive, now i want to try and recover information from that drive, when i connect it through a sata adapter i have via usb, windows doesn't recognize it, and if i go to windows disk management i see the drive as healthy GPT protected. how can i access my data?
