Hey TH,
Usually when I plug this external HDD into a computer I am prompted with ability the to access the files,
I plug it in now and the light stays on, and that's about it
The drive can be seen in Disk Management and Device Manager however the capacity varies from 2TB to 0mb (on WDD diagnostics), no drive letter, can't attach one, tried Recuva but can't reach the drive
I'm considering alternative routes to retrieve the data (500gb) from the HDD, Is there a manual way that would work?
Like purchasing an external case and attaching the External Seagate HDD to it
Or
Professional Data Recovery Services, which is quite a stretch considering I'm not sure if it can pick up all the files (txts, mp3s, and the sort)
That is...if the data is still intact on the drive...is the only way to know this, is to send it to a Data Recovery Specialist?
Can I use programs such as Spinrite or does it overwrite on the hDD?
