Windows 10 Says My Old Drive Partitions Are Blank

[Dizzy49]

My old laptop died, it was upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 before it died. I pulled the hard drive out and put it into a USB enclosure. When I plug it into my new laptop the partitions are detected, and the drive letters show up in Explorer, but when I click on any of them Windows 10 says "You need to format the disk in Drive X: before you can use it."

I don't want to lose the data, I need the data. What do I need to do to import the drive so that it can be read correctly.

Thanks!

Can you post screenshot from Disk Management?

It's plugged into my desktop right now. Exact same thing is happening. Disk 3 is the old drive.

So the problem is with Disk 3 - partitions F: and H: . Right?
Either partition table or file system structure has been corrupted there.

You'll have to use some data recovery software. Try GetDataBack. It gives rather good recovery results.

Yes, Partition F is the one that has the data that I need.

GetDataBack reads the drive and I see the data. I just don't want to pay $80 for the software. I'll see if I can figure out how to repair it via command line or something.

You can probably get it from somewhere, where they don't ask you to pay.
Not saying you should do that, but you probably could.
