I've seen several cases, but as all humans, I expect mine to be different...

I have an S2 drive loaded with lots of files that has no updated backup. The drive was working fine until I took it overseas in an airplane (maybe a pressure problem).

Now it gets logical letter assigned, although it is recognized as a physical drive. I run the MS Sector Inspector and the info is below.

Any suggestions on how to recover the information?

Thanks in advance.

Using GUID Partition table? You need EFI firmware on motherboard, look at operating system support for GPT too.
