Cannot find boot drive and at same time USB drives are not readable
Here's my issue: My Win10Pro machine crashed a few times. The issue was could not find the boot disk. Changed disk, same problem. Bought a new computer (ASUS, 1TB hd). It runs OK.
Attached to my (old) computer were 2 1TB USB drives. I used the USB drives to store my data. One was a backup of the other. So only Win10 specific files were on the C: drive.At the same time my Win10 could not find the C: drive, both my USB drives had the same error message: Disk not formatted.They are still "not formatted". I believe the data is there, just no MBR (or what is the USB drive equivalent). What kind of events could cause all three drives, 2 of which are attached USB drives, to have the same or similar problems?
Fortunately, I stored a lot of my data on a 128gB flash drive, so I'm not totally DOA. But my 300gB of images are mostly gone now. My source code is saved, luckily.
