I have two USB drives (of several), both USB-cable-powered, which I use
to back up daily files.
Suddenly last night, they mounted ok, but only showed 'lost and found',
with no files at all, and no file transfer available. I tried
rebooting both the PC and the drives, but there was no change. They
are named Expansion_Drive and Expansion_Drive-2, for reference. The
names did not appear when they were connected, which again is unusual.
The former of these drives is normally connected all the time, the
latter only occasionally. This afternoon, I dug out an old laptop, and
connected Expansion_Drive to it. And it worked fine. I then
connected it to my normal PC instead, and it worked fine there as well.
Any ideas what happened? I am hoping that Expansion_Drive-2 will react
similarly.

Maybe a problem with USB power?
Try to only connect that drive to USB and nothing else.

Everything is working again. It is as though something in the USB
system in the HDDs had lost some instruction, or could not handshake
with the PC, and connecting them to a different PC restored that missing
flag.
As to what or how, I have no idea.
