Question Old c disk.

[JJ1988]

I have an old laptop with one disk (c) but when I pull it out and connect it to my pc it does not show up. It shows up in disk management and crystal disk. I have tired to change drive letter but it wont allow me to (can't click it).
I have also tried another pc and it's the same.
Any tips?

how old is that laptop? and what operating system is it, if you know?

my guess is it is incompatible with your current modern windows and can't be accessed as is. it gives you the option to delete the partition which is what i would do. the drive is empty since every partition is 100% empty. i'd start fresh and delete EVERY partition on it and then start fresh with a single new ntfs partition. only add other partitions if it is needed, can be a headache having multiple partitions for no reason.

You might need to use Diskpart via a command line terminal (e.g. Powershell with admin rights) to reconfigure and initialise this drive.
