But before I ask, be sure to NEVER WRITE BACK TO THIS DRIVE. If you do, you will remove any further recovery options.
So, research Recuva's deep scan option.
PS. Taped finger to mouse so it didn't wag.
I have a Toshiba 1 TB external Hydro I have a Toshiba 1 TB external Hard drive PH 3200U – 1exb
I can’t access it in windows it says that it is corrupted. I have use Recuva I did recover a lot of files but as far as I can Tell it just undeleted files that it found in non rewritten spaces. That’s fie but I want recover corrupted files.
I have I have tried to talk to a couple retail computer fix people and they are estimating hundreds of dollars.
I should also say the drive appears to not have any physical damage. I don’t have any history of dropping it or shorting it out or anything. The light comes on andI hear the disc wearing the way inside the housing.
I would love some advice on how to proceed. It would be great if you guys could avoid the usual finger wagging about not properly backing up my data. I already admitted I was wrong that’s why am here.
