Hello, to the community!
So, I probably messed up but I wouldn't really know because I'm not an expert on computers. So, here's my problem.
I connected my external hard drive to my laptop via USB but it wouldn't recognize it as a drive. It would only show up at Devices & Printers, so obviously I couldn't reach the files. I googled for a solution and came across a suggestion about assigning a letter to the drive. I followed the steps and added a letter (letter E in particular, for whatever it's worth).
Then it was recognized... but it was [censored] empty.
So, my questions are, did I messed up? Are the files still there? Are they retrievable?
PS: For whatever it's worth, a few days ago I connected the hard drive to PS4 and I think it proposed my a change in its format in order to read it and I pressed accept or something. I'm sorry, I can't recall exactly.
I hope y'all can help me out here.
