Look for hidden John Cena files—you usually can't spot them. But seriously, could you remove it and connect it via USB? I noticed variations in size when plugged into different devices versus USB ports on various computers. It might be related to unusual partitions from the box. Note: My issue started with a blank drive, showing inconsistent sizes such as 1TB versus 4TB. I’m not confident your data is secure.
Ensure you have a backup before proceeding to avoid any more data loss. Begin by opening the start menu, enter "cmd" in the search bar. Click right-click on cmd.exe and select "Run as Administrator". In the command window, input "chkdsk /X /f drive_letter:" or "chkdsk drive_letter: /f" to fix the RAW drive.
I checked online and learned you can't switch from RAW to NTFS without risking data loss. You'll likely have to back up your drive first, then convert it and restore your files. This update seems problematic.
