windows 10 purposely corrupts ntfs partition on old disk, cannot mount
i am becoming quite pissed.
a Western Digital hard drive i know is perfectly good, that was used as a windows 7 disk and had an automatic upgrade done on it but became problematic...
I have had to grab a spare drive, install linux and boot on that, then mount my problem WD drive to grab my data off of it.
I have done ntfsfix in linux on this problem WD hard drive,
now when i boot my good computer (which is running windows 10) and i have this problem WD hard drive as a slave, as my windows 10 boots it sees the WD hard and does a disk check on it which gets to 100%, and then my good computer running win10 I can see the problem 160gb WD drive in disk manager as disk #4 and it shows up under My Computer.
the drive in disk mgr shows as
- 100mb system reserved H:
- 148gb NTFS, Local Disk I:
- 450mb healthy (recovery partition)
In My computer I can open up H: and it shows empty.
I try to open I: and it won't open says it is not accessible access is denied.
From disk manager i right click on I: for properties - tools - check drive for errors, and this reports with "The disk check could not be performed because windows can't access the disk".
what do i need to do in windows 10 to access this partition?
I tried mounting it in windows 7 and had no luck either, but the drive will mount in linux and read/write all day long no problem.
