Hello,
First post here. Was a gamer for years but no time for it or the video editing I once did anymore so I traded my 2011 2k custom desktop rig for a laptop.
Have a Toshiba Satellite L955-S5330 running Windows 8.
I took my Seagate 2TB, and two WD 1 TB hard drives out of my pc before trade, they worked fine in the desktop rig running windows 7. I bought a Vantec sata to usb adapter so I could connect my drives with all of my personal files I've obtained and saved over the years to transfer all of it to a few external drives and then I plan on selling internal drives once done. They power up great, windows recognizes them and give each a letter F drive, but I cannot access any of them. When I attempt to open it windows tells me I need to format it, when I click no it says "file system not recognized". I connected two of the three to another desktop running windows 7 and it works fine, try again on my laptop through usb and same thing, can see it but can't open it.
I tried Stellar Phoenix recovery software and it took forever to amass the files in two of the drives but in the very end on both drives it errored out saying drive cannot be recovered. I again connected both to yet another pc this one again on windows 7 and drives showed up and was accessible. WTH?
Drivers are up to date, I have uninstalled them and with reboot w8 reinstalled them, no fix there. I read somewhere it could be a security issue preventing w8 from accessing the drives but I cannot find any security tab in the drive properties in device manager.
The drives are obviously not corrupted even though Steller pretty much told me they were being it is top notch recovery software and it can neither access my data in quick, advanced or raw mode.
I must also note in disk management drives are labeled as RAW.
Out of ideas here, any help appreciated.
