Lost My Documents on drive D after committing stupid error
Running Windows 10 on a Gigabyte motherboard based tower PC.
Have the OS on an SSD and I had mapped "My Documents" to an HDD, assigned drive letter D with volume name "Stores".
The install is about 3 years old
I stupidly disconnected the HDD with assigned drive letter D and swapped in another HDD temporarily.
Now that I have reconnected my original HDD, Windows recognizes the drive and assigns it as D, the Volume name is still "Stores" but none of my original folders in the drive are visible or accessible.
The drive does list these folders:
Recycle Bin
found.ooo
System Volume Information
Users
the folder found.000 is not accessible.
"Users" folder contains a folder called OEM_User which is the user account I use but it contains only a couple empty folders.
Drive shows 32GB used
Is there any way to recover this?
I don't think my data has been removed or deleted but Windows does not know how to go find it.
What options are available to resolve this?
I posted this on the Microsoft Win 10 forums a few days ago but have not received many responses. Hoping the Ten forums can help.
Thanks for any suggestions.
