    Please upload a screenshot of the Disk Managemnent with your external drive plugged in.

    Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image

    Also clarify the following:

    It shows empty - where? Again a screenshot will help.

    in the properties its actually loaded - Please upload the screenshot.

    Does all your files/folders in the external drive show as shortcuts in Explorer?
