The WPD properties showed a code 43 error which I'm still looking into.ĮDIT: Earlier I put the drive into my XP test machine but it only showed as a GPT partition in MMC and didn't show in Win Explorer, which is usual for me dealing with a win8 drive.Įdited by Netghost56, 16 December 2014 - 05:17 PM. If you don’t have any installation media (like a disc or USB device), contact your system administrator or PC manufacturer. You’ll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. I checked the Device manager and under Portable devices I had 2 listings: 'G:\' and 'WPD FileSystem Volume Driver'. The Boot Configuration Data file is missing some required information.

I unplugged the drive from the laptop then retried it but nothing happened.

The Repair scan failed around 99% said the errors could not be fixed. Adjust your computers microphone volume control. I've never been able to copy data off a win8 drive unless I was able to boot it in the original system or in another system that was made for win8 ( and was compatible to the original specs). If using an Apple Mac computer, you might need to: Restart your browser or computer. The drive itself won't show in Win Explorer. However with a win8 drive all I can get is the partition information in the Disk Management MMC. Mounting a drive into another system is usually the first thing I do. I've tried numerous times to copy data off a win8 drive.
