I recently bought and installed Windows 10 Pro on top of a Linux Mint installation. I made a backup of my documents, pictures, etc (pretty much all of /home) onto a secondary hard drive so that I could keep all of my stuff. I then proceeded to install Windows 10 on top of Linux and it worked flawlessly, but I can't see the secondary drive.
I've looked in Disk Managment, I've used these two programs: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2read/ and http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/
Neither of them can find the hard drive so I changed out the SATA cable and switched to a different SATA power cable and still nothing.
Anyone have any ideas?

Wait I fixed it. I switched the SATA from my Dvd drive to the hard drive and used the ext2extract program to get all my stuff. It was a faulty SATA cable all along!
