Windows cannot access my external harddisk partition but all partition managers can
- by Ashish
Some weird problem happened to my Maxtor 500GB external harddisk, it all started when it once freezed during some operation. Now when I insert the drive in a USB slot, Windows asks me to format it, and if I try to open the drive from my computer it says, "not accessible"..
I tried most of the major partition managers and partition recovery software.
All of these can see and access my partition normally.
It showing the free space and used space correctly.
But Windows can't. Please help me out.
Including a screenshot: On the left side, the partition manager can access and see my data in the corrupted partition, and on the right side Windows can't
