Windows 10: SSD Partition is gone and cannot be found

Hello, I have a problem with my SSD drive. My SSD drive is a 240GB drive from Intel. Usually I have 2 partitions on this drive: Partition C (with all my programs) and Partition E (with all my data). I use this disk in my laptop and as of today I cannot boot that disk. The laptop keeps restarting sending me to the boot menu where I can select the drive, only to keep restarting and sending me back to that same bootmenu. Now, I have connected this SSD to a desktop computer and was hoping to backup my data. The problem that I have is that the drive only shows one partition, which is the C partition, and not the partition with my data. When I open disk management I can see the entire drive, and it shows the correct size of it, but in my explorer I can only see the R drive (which was my C drive in my laptop) and the data partition is nowhere to be found. See my image:





As you can see Disk 2 (R) is my SSD. And only the laptop's C drive (now R) shows up. I have tried to refresh a couple of times in the explorer and also tried to change the drive path of the disk, which does not help. Can you guys help me to reach the data partition?

Thanks in advance.

SSD partition gone after 1511 upgrade

There is indeed an 817MB partition that I've not seen before. It doesn't have a volume label or a file system, its status is listed as 'Healthy (Recovery Partition)' and is 100% free. It would appear that the upgrade has messed with the partitions. Is
there anything I can do to restore the files and partition?

 

Saving free space on SSD (Regarding multiple obligatory partitions on main drive)

Gerry Here just copy-paste some irrelevant response.

Well, **I've figured it out**. Here my solution (I Take no responsibility from any damage that might arise from this process, and I do not guarantee it to work for u.)

We'll assume u have 2 disks; SSD and HDD.

Also NOTE: I Work in a GPT-Disk partitioning scheme, I don't know if it's applicable on dos-style MBR partitioning.

General-methodology wich we are going to work with (or TL;DR).

• Delete all partitions on all drive
• Install Windows on the HDD Drive
• Install Windows on the SSD Drive (yes, twice!)
• Repartition the HDD to free up and reallocate as we wish (The only parition that HAVE to be there is the EUFI System (Fat) )
• After freeing up HDD space, move user folder to the HDD
• PROFIT

And in more detail:

THIS GUIDE ASSUME THIS IS A FRESH PC - THAT U DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING U NEED ON EITHER DISKS.

* - Asterisk, not a real step, just additional information

• Boot into windows 10 installation
• Clear ALL partitions on BOTH drives
• Let windows install itself onto the HDD, We'll call this installation win-hdd
  • There is no need to actually boot into this OS.
• Boot into windows 10 installation
• Let windows install itself onto the SSD. We'll call this installation win-ssd
  • *What would happen now, Is that windows detects the recovery and eufi partitions and does not need to create such additional partitions on your ssd. It would only create a 16MB windows reserved partition.
  • *Your boot partition would be hdd/eufi; But since windows detect it's own bootloader it would allow you to duel-boot between win-hdd and win-ssd(default)
• Optional: During windows-ssd first run wizard switch to audit mode (CTRL+SHIFT+F3)
  • *We would use audit mode to:
    • * Optional1: Repartition hdd
    • * Optional2: Change "Users" folder to the hdd.
    • * If u do not want to move Users folder, u can do 6.2 After win-ssd fully boots instead
  • Repartition hdd & move Users folder:
    • Using a 3rd party tool such as "MiniTool Partition Wizard" you can do the fallowing *as you wish*:
      • Delete win-hdd partition
      • Delete recovery-hdd partition
      • Delete windows reserved (16 mb) partition.
      • You can also later move the EUFI to the start of the hdd disk, if needed
      • Create new partition (free to use) on hdd.
      • Make sure to properly assign drive letters to all drive as u wish
      • Fallow
        this guide to relocate the User folder (Starting from Step 2)
• Boot into windows-ssd; If u do not know which one (int the OS selection screen) It's safe to assume that the automatically-selected one is the win-ssd.
• If u have not performed 6.2 Yet, this is the time to do that now.

GLHF.
