I bought an adapter to retrieve old files from ancient hard drives and I didn't save the stuff from one I had looked at. Now though when I plug it in it will only read as an android file system? It has 2 disk images now, one is labeled Presario D: which shows up as an android backup or something but all folders are empty. The other is Local Disk E: and if I click it it literally just locks up my file explorer to the point I have to restart the PC.

Any thoughts or ideas?

I may have plugged it into an android phone at some point? Not sure though.

I tried running chkdsk in the command prompt but it just idles until I give up

I hope it's not dead but I fear it might be.
