Hello, I understand you're facing an issue with your expansion drive. You mentioned retrieving data from it while it was still reading information, and upon returning it doesn't appear on your computer despite a connected USB. You checked Disk Management and saw Picture 1, tried rebuilding the MBR using a wizard in Picture 2, but all options were grayed out. Since you're concerned about losing important data and can't afford professional recovery services, I hope this helps guide you through the steps or suggest alternatives. Let me know if you need further clarification.

While reviewing the information...it seems to be about storage devices. SSDs and HDDs behave differently during movement. Many tools exist to restore data from HDDs, but this doesn't preserve a clear folder structure afterward. Updated August 13, 2023 by leclod

No, I did not run minitool with admin rights.

It seems the process wasn’t straightforward. I checked a large folder and noticed it took a long time to load, so I removed it quickly because of the delay. Regarding recovery, it’s unclear if everything can be fixed. If your data is still intact, losing the drive might not be permanent.

I confirmed the settings again, but the greying out persists. The free version doesn’t seem to change the outcome.

If the HDDs are still working with a recovery program, you should recover most of your data. However, it could get messy—files mixed together like .jpg, .avi, and .doc. I’m not sure if this is the best approach; your quick fix seemed more effective. You’ll likely find free recovery tools easily, though I’m not current on them. Edited August 13, 2023 by leclod

This operation involves transferring data from one storage device to another. You will read the files and verify their integrity on the new drive. If they don’t meet your requirements, consider using a different tool or method.

Recovery options such as photorec or recuva might assist if the filesystem is damaged. However, the drive is typically labeled as a "0.5kB" device in minitool, which suggests it won’t work for other programs or systems either. Removing the drive from its enclosure and connecting it directly to SATA might help if the issue lies with the USB interface board, but this isn’t always feasible. The best alternative would be professional recovery services.

The "0.5kb" refers to a specific data size or bandwidth requirement that matters for the issue at hand.
