    Check Disk Management and you'll probably see it.
    More than likely, it's an Ext2/3/4 filesystem that Windows doesn't recognize. Install Ext2Fsd and use that to mount the filesystem on the drive.


    WARNING: It's going to be mounted as an Ext2 filesystem (yes, you can mount an Ext3/4 filesystem as Ext2), which disables filesystem journaling. I advise mounting it read-only within the Ext2Fsd software.
    Don't buy those $10 PSU "specials". They fail, and they have taken whole computers with them.

    My computer doubles as a space heater.

      some dvr appliances use the udf filesystem meant for optical media like cd/dvds/blurays on their internal hard drives which they record to. if u still dont see any files, its probably a filesystem windows doesnt recognise or doesnt expect to be on a hard drive.
