[SOLVED] New NVME SSD installed (NOW MY HDD IS UN-ALLOCATED AND ACCESS DENIED)

[FlewDesigns]

Hi...

So installed new NVME 970 PRO SSD 1TB and used a flash drive with windows 10 to get a fresh install.

I made sure not to connect any SSD's while installing windows and then after installed i re-connected the SSD's.


After doing that everything is fine apart from my HDD (D) Drive with about 1.5tb of DATA!! Is now showing as 'Unallocated' and
acccess denied.

Looks like i have lost everything... But why????

My OS was installed on a seperate SSD not my HDD so i dont see how it has wiped the drive? or do you think theres something strrange going on?
Maybe a bios issue? I have no idea!

Help!

Thanks

Yeah i disconnected HDD then installed windows on new ssd. connected HDD again and then i cant access it. (I used EASEUS and i can see everything still on there, i think its encrypted and the only way is to recover the folders on a different drive and then maybe re-format and put them back?

so what happened with your previous OS?
usualy in documents is stored bitlocker key
without key u can use only recovery passwords

Dont worry! I restarted pc and all of a sudden my PC fixed the drive and recovered it! =))

1.8tb of data? No I'm not. I save out important folders into a external but don't have anything that large

"...I save out important folders into a external ..." That's good enough
