Hello Riki,

To be able to assist you better, let us know a few more details on the below questions.

• Does Windows show the drive as empty?
• Have you checked if you are able to access the image files on a different computer?

[*]As an initial recommendation, I suggest you to check the external drive for errors and check if the issue persists. Follow the steps to check for errors in the drive.
Follow the below steps:

1. Open This PC folder.

2. Right-click the drive or partition that needs to be checked and select
Properties.
