Can't recover anything
Hi. I need someone's help...anyone's help. I'm trying to recover data(footage) from a hard drive. What we tried first was, connecting the hard drive to a PC using the IDE & SATA to USB cable, but an error popped up asking to format the drive. Then we bought EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard8.8 program, scanned the hard drive and files started popping up with each file size of 100MG We selected RECOVER and the files get saved in the folder of our choice BUT we are unable to open the files, each one is showing 0MB size
Your earliest reply is much appreciated.
