I know it is the best idea, I am just complacent and don't like spending money. I'm aware of the saying that "there are those who backup and those who will".

All my data is back though. Like I...

This drive was my backup drive, it has all my userdata backups and images on it, along with other random things.

Correct. It doesn't seem to give me the option to assign a drive letter though.

Update, it literally just needed a drive letter. No recovery required.

MASSIVE weight off...

Yes, my Disk 1 has data I need to recover. What should I do given it's designated it as a recovery partition?

Lesson learned, don't leave anything else plugged in but your SSD when installing Windows.

Is there anyway I can create a volume on this drive and use Recuva to recover data?
