Hold on! Do you want to try to recover the HDD partition structure, data & added program contents therein?

>>>Need your suggestion further. I am ready to do anything on this drive, since I have already recovered my personal files and folders from it. 😊>>>Saw this after my last post. So another question. What if you could access, change, run & do just about anything from that HDD as-is from Cinnamon desktop just as you'd do from the Win10 desktop?

Did you first right click on and mount the partition before you looked at it?

This is related to the original HDD issue, whether or not it was left in fast startup mode, and possible file corruption. Right click and unmount all the HDD partitions. Then pick only one HDD NTFS partition to experiment on. Right click and mount this one partition again. Then look at some of its files again. Preferrably a text file if possible.

Do you have one simple text file on this one partition that you copied over to Mint that we can test with the Mint text editor?

>>>I copied this text file from HDD (STORAGE Partition) to SSD. >>>So you can open the copied file OK? Can you also edit and save the edit with the exact same filename?
