Windows 10: Hard drive not working in one external enclosure but does in another

Even though it was formatted and working fine. I

Hard Drive Enclosure

Hi Comeback, you should be able to access those files if you put that hard drive into an external enclosure . . .

When you connect that drive, does Windows actually see the drive - can you see it in File Explorer?

Open Disc Management (accessible by right clicking your Start Button

Do you see that drive listed there?

I do not see it in File Explorer. In Disc Management, I see the following:

Disc 0, Partition 1

Disc 0, Partition 4

I don't know which one the enclosed hard drive is

Hi Comeback, neither are that external hard drive, they are just both partitions on Disc 0 (your internal HDD)

Have you tried plugging into a non -Windows 10 PC to see if that enclosure works ?
