I have a 3tb HDD as a tertiary game drive. I have had Zorin OS dual booting for a while, but just recently after rebooting my PC the HDD only shows up in Linux. In Windows disk manager, it shows up but says that it is empty and will not show up in File Explorer. Please Help!

I believe this drive was in MBR format...not GPT...after the update...the drive was reintialized in the uefi system which is kinda incompatible with MBR style drives.. ...and it went to hardlock mode...
