It looks like the first several bytes of E:\ were erased.
The entire first sector (512 bytes) of the E: partition has been zeroed out.

I don't know enough about NTFS to determine if that's the extent of the damage (if so it might even be possible to reconstruct it).

It still puzzles me why Macrium would go out of its way to make the file system inaccessible, but leave the data and partition intact.

For the time being, I'm just leaving the E: partition as-is and using the 2 other internal SATA drives in the machine for workspace and backup.
