I have this 1 TB SimpleDrive given to me just a couple of years ago. I have smoothly transferred all my important files there including media files (my portfolio) and some documents. I have been deleting and transferring files from this hard drive for a long time.
So here's my problem, I connected my External HDD, a message appears that it has to be formatted. I am so confident to format this because I have a lot recovery softwares to recover my files from there. But then, when I was about to format it, a message appeared stating "Windows was unable to complete the format."
I have tried CHKDSK but it says there that there is an error.
In Disk Management, it is listed as RAW.
When I try to open/explore the drive, it states there "parameter is incorrect."
I'm so doomed! I have tried reformatting it to exFAT, at first, it was really okay, (in fact when I formatted it, it only lasted for about 3 secs.) but when I rebooted my laptop and connected it again, a message appeared saying that it needed to be checked. And so I did. I thought it was okay already but when I am trying to recover files through remorecover, easeus pro, stellar and yodot, my drive is not recognized by these recovering software. I have tried Active File Recovery but it can't even detect any single file there but a bad sector.
Help! I still want my drive to be usable and at the same time, I just want to recover even just some of my files from there.
