this is kind of very urgent question. My Laptop graphic card died this afternoon , so I opened my laptop and took out my hard drive that contains all of my studies and projects where the deadline is 2 days from now. I put my hard drive in a external case and tried to plug it via usb in my father computer. Nothing happend , drive not showing in "This Pc" . I went to disk manager and I found that my drive is GPT Protected Partition (Windows 10 on both Pcs) Is there anyway to recover the data or how can I access the drive ?

    It may be [this issue](https://superuser.com/a/985330/432690) but the other way around (valid partition table without the enclosure). Or maybe not. Connecting the hard drive directly (not via USB) is a sane step now. – Kamil Maciorowski Oct 28 '21 at 09:16
  • No frequent backups? I hoped you learned your lesson... You will need data-recovery software to retrieve your important files. Something like: https://www.diskgenius.com/how-to/gpt-protective-partition.php, Check the Method #1 section first. Don't try anything else as all the other options will DESTROY your data. – Tonny Oct 28 '21 at 09:23
  • For somebody threatend by a tight deadline your description is suprisingly thin. Could it be that you your graphic card had a ventilator that stopped, causing overheating affecting your drive as well? You did not specify if your drive started sucessfully in an external enclosure. Using a docking station with an integrated power suppply is a good choice to exclude power supply problems. Even 2,5'' inch drives draw high start-up currents. You did not show maker and model of your drive. You did not tell how the drive was partitioned before the incident. You did not show the current status by – r2d3 Oct 29 '21 at 19:20
  • showing a picture of your disk manager. With so much lack of information a reasonable judgment is impossible and you can get only generic advice. – r2d3 Oct 29 '21 at 19:21
