Windows 10: How do I recover my files from a external harddrive that doesn't have a drive letter?

I installed windows onto my external hard drive with many files on it, in an effort to quickly factory reset my pc but it just **** up the hard drive instead. When I go into a recovery software it shows all the files are still there so I am just wondering how I can recover them without paying exuberant amounts for a key. When in Disk Management it appears as DISK 2 partition 2 saying its healthy and online and empty. The option to change drive letter and path is greyed out so I don't know what to do.

help. USB drive isn't assigned a drive letter.

Any usb flash drive I plug into my computer isn't assigned a drive letter. The physical drive shows in the "safely remove hardware" but it doesnt show up in disk management. I have tried to populate the volume thru the safely remove hardware properties window and it does pop up in the list but it doesn't stay there. This isn't a format or assign a letter problem. It's more complicated then that. Maybe one of the services needed for usb drive management was disabled? Suggestions needed. btw external usb harddrives work fine.
