Hello
A very important partition on my PC, containing a large library of audio files, can no longer be seen by Win 10. It can see there is partition named "audio data (H:)" but says access is denied. If I try and run Tools-Error Checking Win says it cannot access disk.
Properties shows it as 0 bytes.
Is there anything I can do to salvage this (apart from shooting myself through the head for not backing it up) ?
Thanks
Corrupted partition - can I rescue it ?

What does Partition Work say about it?
How is BIBM set up, limited primaries or not? Is the data partition on the boot disk?

BIBM shows the correct size (and how much is occupied).
The partition in question is not on the boot drive.
I'm running chkdsk at the moment, so I hope this will fix it ...

Chkdsk sorted it. No bad sectors, which is encouraging I guess.

swayzak,
This sounds like a Fast Startup issue. Do you have Fast Startup enabled?

Hi swayzak,
Did you have Fast Startup enabled? Just interested. A similar event happened to me on a test computer when I forgot to disable Fast Startup.

When I had a similar issue, it was the boot drive failing. I'd find a
backup would fail, and chkdsk /r would fix things so I could get a
backup done. It would then repeat and fast boot was disabled. Fast
boot only causes problems in certain situations.
In my case, I changed the hard drive and all was well.
