I think there was a free download that did the scan and gave you a report of what files would be recovered. Scanned the disk, recovered as far as I could tell, everything. It was as I recall £14 for a 1 month license. I bought data recovery software CnW Recovery, Data recovery service PCs, Macs, photos, videos (). Using free tools, I determined that there was damage right at the start of the disk (master file table?) and that I had no hope of manual recovery. No files, I can't now recall the windows message, probably "Do you want to format the disk?". Many years ago I bumped an operating external hard disk drive and ruined it. Is the remaining 600GB gone/lost/irretrievable, or is there a chance of simple recovery ? As always any pointers appreciated. Also when I connect the HD each time a box appears that says it is not readable on this computer.įirst Aid runs in a second and says all well, but obviously it isn't. All that is shown is the total capacity 1TB approx and that the HD is 'uninitialised'. Strangely the HD shows up in Disk Utility, but not on my Laptop's locations section. I did the usual checks to see what was what, incl Disk Utility (Mac OS). When I awoke from my slumber, the still attached HD wasn't showing up anymore. All good so far!ĭue to the extremely physical nature of this I fell asleep and had a nap. This enabled the HD to be read and I transferred old photo files to a more modern (and much smaller) HD. The HD, an WD My Passport 1TB hobby from 10 years ago had 2xFirewire, 1x SATA and 1x misc elongated 'v' port to which I found a cable (glad i kept all those older cable for a rainy day!).
