HP Recommended
Product: Envy TE-01
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have connected an older HP 2GB USB HDD (MD2000h). It shows on File Explorer as HDDs F: (CD Launcher) and G:.The F: partition shows as a CDFS device and clicking it just gives a pause but does nothing. The G: says nothing about its file system or capacity. When I try to read G:, I get an error message saying that I need to format the drive.

 

At this stage, I don't want to reformat as I can't remember if there is anything important on it.

 

Can anyone suggest how to get it back to NTFS so I can check what files are on it?
