@mh yup, external thumbdrive that was ghosted from another machine. my goal was to beat on a win10 machine without fear of the software i'm planning to run (pirated so zero trust). now, the external drive ssd can see the other drives on my host machine despite running off the win10 os on the external. the "data" drive (internal ssd) is fully accessible but the m.2 hosting the other win10 os is restricted. i kinda figured that presents a security hole. maybe not?
