Windows 10: When I connect my external HDD one of my laptops, all the data is showing up, but when...

When I connect my external HDD one of my laptops, all the data is showing up, but when connected to the other laptop, in File Explorer, only the system reserved drive shows up and not the other one. Help.

PS. In disk management, it does show up as disk1 with one a system reserved part and the other as a healthy recovery partition, if this helps.

Laptop HDD fail, Shows partition but can not copy data, testdisk MBR code fail

I use 2TB HDD in my laptop with 250 GB partition for windows 10 and rest for data storage. I switched my laptop so moved the HDD from old to new laptop and started the system. Windows logo came up but within a minute laptop crashed and then after nothing
worked. I took out the HDD and plugged externally to another windows 10 system where it shows both the partition mounted with their respective sizes. When I open the drive it shows folders as well but when I open or copy any of the folder it gives error "The
device is not ready".

I tried using minitool and recuva data recovery but it failed to detect anything.

Then I plugged the HDD externally to Ubuntu system. Gparted shows 3 partitions, 1) ntfs system reserved 549 MiB, 2) ntfs Windows 250 GiB, 3) ntfs 1.57 TiB. But the direct data copy or testdisk fails. I used testdisk to analyse lost partitions but nothing
is reported, even in deep search. I then used the MBR code but even that failed.

I have important data in Data partition so I do not want to take risky steps. So I am now posting this question for help.

Kindly suggest how to rescue the data on the disk.

Thanks a lot in advance.

 

Files on external HDD not showing up in laptop

I saved some files on my external HDD while working on my MS Surface tablet. But when i plugged the same external HDD to another laptop, the same files cannot be seen. Yet when i plug the HDD to the MS Surface tablet again, they are still there. So, this
means that for some reason, the files are not visible in Windows Explorer in another computer. Please help, thank you.

 

My TV is not detected when I connect to my laptop through Thunderbolt/HDMI cable

I have a laptop with Thunderbolt(Mini Display Port) and ofcourse TV has HDMI port. Si I bought a Thunderbolt to HDMI cable and connected the devices but TV is just not showing up when I press Detect.

Now, this laptop is not having any issues when I connect it with my external monitor, its just the TV which is not being detected.

• My laptop is a Lenovo T440s Windows 10
  
• TV is Samsung LCD 1080p
  
• Now, my laptop connects to other external monitor fine
  
• While TV also works fine with other devices like Roku very fine.
  
• its just the combination of laptop and TV is something that is not working at all.
  
• Here is the Thunderbolt that I am using: http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-DisplayPort-Thunderbolt-Compatible/dp/B00APLJY4C?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
  

All I see is No Signal when I turn on the TV and choose the port from laptop

Any suggestions?
