    Windows old has the old and good win 7 files.
    Set explorer to show system and hidden files.

    Why cant you format your external disk to something windows can use. ? Free 3rd party partition managers can do that kind of thing.

    You wont see it in windows explorer if it doesnt have a drive letter.

    Take a look with diskgenius - free version.
    See if it recognizes that the disk is there and let you format it as NTFS. That is if you dont want any data that might be currently on there.
