We are seeing a lot of this type of post because of Windows security for hard drives. If you start Disk Management console, you see the bootloaders and the disk data partitions; the smaller partitions are the bootloaders. They are tied to the type of bios setup when formatting was done such as AHCI. You should be able to activate the data partitions instead of formatting them. Once you assign it a drive letter, you should have access via file explorer. You may also need to reassign security to an admin account on that PC to have full access to all files. I have a drive like that which was used on my pc but on an earlier installation, windows gives me a warning I do not have permission, but I just acknowledge it and I can still access the files.
