Good afternoon!
Just finished my first build, which is functioning swimmingly (knock on wood) so I decided I'd try to put some of the data from my old comp onto this new one.
I'm running Windows 10 vs my old Mac 10.7.5.
The device I'm using to store the old data is a Toshiba 1tb external hard drive.
The main issue is that the hard drive won't show up in file explorer: I can see it in device manager and settings and such but I cant access any of the data because it doesn't appear in the "this PC" tab.
I've tried the fixes I could find, including trying to use command prompt to assign the volume a letter (it won't show up in the command prompt window as an existing volume, strangely) but so far nothing has worked as far as I can tell.
One thing that seems unique to my issue that I couldnt find addressed in any of the troubleshooting I found is that on the disk management page the hard drive I'm using appears as: (disk 2 partition 1) and (disk 2 partition 2)
Neither will allow my to take any actions when right clicked.
Neither of these appear as RAW.
Thanks for your help!
