But it's extremely frustrating that it is all that shows up. I get that "system reserved" is a partition that is intended to hold vital boot-up code or whatever. And yet when I look at the drive's properties, it supposedly has 99MB total space with 78MB used and 21MB free.
It's a 2TB drive (Seagate Barracuda LP), and IIRC, it has at least 500GB of my files on it, including irreplaceable photos of my wife over the past 6 years. (I had already done this successfully with a couple of other old HDDs.) Unfortunately, the drive now only reads as E: "system reserved". Today, I finally plugged the old HDD into a Unitek USB3 to SATA converter, and plugged that into the USB port on my laptop, hoping to be able to access and transfer the files. She died last month and I haven't had a chance to do anything with the old HDD until now. In the interim, my wife was diagnosed with stage-IV cancer, was in and out of the hospital, and I became her full-time caregiver. I pulled out the HDD, trashed the tower, and switched over to using my laptop.

About 8 months ago, the motherboard on my desktop developed problems and failed.
