Recover the hard drive.

[Andrew Antalik]

Hello, I have encountered an unpleasant event. My external hard drive has stopped working. The disc is no longer readable . When I connect the disc to my computer, the system asks me to format it.

There are very important files on the disc.


Does anyone know how to help me?

I was able to solve this problem.

I came across this video tutorial.

True, it cost me $97.95, but that's nothing compared to if I had taken the disc to a master. I risked losing my files forever. But I don't have the ability to pay a lot of money.
I'll tell you a little bit about how I did it.
I downloaded Hetman Partition Recovery , the program mapped my RAW drive, which was previously FAT, ran a full scan. The programme found most of my files and successfully recovered them. Yes, all files still can't be recovered, but I was lucky: I had exactly the files I needed 😎.

 And yes, save your important files (discs) for the future.
