Is there anything I can do to have the drive back? I wish I don't
have to format and lose all data on it :(

The first thing you do is make a clone of the hard drive. If you
ever get back into Windows, you make copies of any important files
on your computer.

Good luck.
Thank you. Can I still make clone even though windows can't access it?
