I put the c drive from a win 10 PC into a USB external box on a win 7 PC 
to read some files of it. first I got a message saying 'loading driver 
software' then the USB box light started flashing away furiously and it 
was obvious that the drive was being accessed significantly. at this 
stage it wasn't showing up in windows explorer. the drive kept thrashing 
away and I couldn't eject it with 'safely remove hardware'. it 
eventually showed up in Explorer but clicking on it didn't show the 
contents. I was getting concerned about what might be going on, so I 
shut down the PC using the normal shutdown procedure. I put the drive 
back into the PC it belongs to and now win10 is trying to fix it. I 
don't see what I did wrong by simply putting it into another PC to be 
read. is that a no-no with windoze10 disks? both disks are formatted NTFS
