I have a hard disk from a windows 8 machine that I am trying to recover some documents from.
I plugged the drive into my ubuntu laptop and could easily access the files on the windows partition (there are several recovery partitions as well), after leaving the machine for a few moments once I returned to it I can no longer access the windows partition, it appears no longer to be mounted and wont mount/cannot be accessed on another ubuntu machine.
When I open 'disks' and select the 1 TB volume I am trying to access 'disks' hangs. Ubuntu doesn't spit out any errors when trying to open the windows partition it just does nothing.
Any ideas?
