I'll try my best to summarize.
I had 2 internal SSDs. Windows (and all my other files) was installed on one SSD (let's call it X). The other one (lets call it Y) was basically empty.
My system became very unstable and eventually would not boot at all. After trying everything, I did a clean install onto Y.
After booting windows from Y, I can see X mounted, but the files are inaccessible (it says permission denied), and also the drive totally disappears (even from disk manager) after about 2 minutes.
I've used Recuva to scan X. It tells me all the files are still there and ready to recover. But I can't recover them, because by the time Recuva finishes scanning, X has totally disappeared.
I've also tried connecting X to a different SATA port with the same result. X shows up in BIOS as normal.
Does anyone know why the drive is unmounting/disappearing? I just want to recover some personal files, then wipe and re-format the drive.
