[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1859609, member: 110816"] The drive seems to have a separate FAT32 partition containing likely installation software to support that drive's extra functionality (things like encryption and so on). But as the others have said, it looks like you your data partition isn't being mounted for some reason. You may want to check the Console to see if any errors are showing up when you plug the external drive in. While the other MBP is reformatted for another persons use, if you still have access to it, you might want to plug this drive into that machine to see if the data is visible, if so, you should try to move it to another drive or some cloud storage. In my case, this is why I use the various external drive's I have in bare mode, I don't install any of the software that comes with it and will always reformat the entire drive to ExFAT or HFS (if Mac only) and I've found I can plug this into any supporting machine and read the data without any issues.
