I passed though my USB device to a Windows VM and God knows why, Windows thought the USB device was a hard drive that needed repairing.

The process was interrupted (sigh). I put the drive to an actual computer and can't open it. Windows reports the drive structure is corrupted and unreadable.

I still don't understand why this happened.

In the meantime I am running chkdsk and will use a data recovery tool to see what I can get from it. :confused:
