I am trying to connect a WD2500BEVS 250gb 5.4k drive to my Win10 pc. It is connected via SATA to my Z490 UD AC-Y1 mobo. Disk Management recognizes it was a Basic, Online drive with two healthy partitions, one of which is marked as active. When right clicking on the disk in Disk Management, the only available options are: Convert to Dynamic Disk, Offline, Properties, and Help.When right clicking on either of the partitions, the only available options are: Delete Volume, Help.I do not want to destroy any data on the drive. How do I get it to show up in File Explorer?
