  2. Restore previous data before external harddrive was made ESD-USB bootable drive

    Hi Ashish,

    ESD-USB is only the name of windows installation file and it is on its own disk partition.
    Your data and files are still on the disk but windows can´t see them. When you open the
    Disk Manager you should see empty space behind your ESD-USB. We have found a thread with the same issue as yours, we suggest that you follow the steps given by

    on the second page:
    Accidentally Converted External Hard Drive to "ESD-USB".

    ESD USB (EMy PC can't identify the ESD-USB device :) Query

    Don't touch the System Reserved drive - that is managed by Windows 10 - you could brick your system if you mess with that partition!

    The ESD USB is a partition on your Backup Drive. It is probably showing up in Windows File explorer as Drive E, but it is just a partition . . .

    At some stage you must have used the Media Creation Tool to create that partition for installing or updating Windows.

    • You should now delete that ESD USB partition in Disk Management, it will become unallocated space
    • You also have another 746GB unallocated space on that backup drive
    • Right click and extend the middle partition to claim back all the unallocated on that drive

    Hi,

    To assist you further, let me ask:


    • Did you try connecting the USB to a different USB port?

    • What are the troubleshooting steps you have tried?
    Now, as an initial recommendation, I suggest you to follow these steps to run the Windows in built troubleshooter and check if it identifies any issues.

    • Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the Hardware and Device option from the list.
    • Click Next to run the Hardware and Device Troubleshooter.
    Write to us with the updated status and the required information for us to be able to assist you further.
