How do I recover the lost data and revert my Clickfree external drive back to how it was?
500GB total capacity (450GB data & apx 49GB free space) Clickfree external hard-drive.
Now has 31.1GB total capacity (15.1GB data & 16.1GB free space).
There is no reference to the missing 470GB nor the files/data on the Clickfree external drive.
I think what has happened is the Clickfree external drive has been formatted whilst copying/backing-up a new Samsung Win8 laptop's factory recovery partition. It was done by using the Backup tab/Menu via the Restart, F4 Recovery option. (Samsung Support told me to do it that way as they guided me on the phone).
Can anyone
1) Give advice what software and my options for recovering my data (450GB) from the Clickfree external drive, with the folder structure intact and both the folder names and files names being intact.
and
2) Give advice how and what recovery software would best achieve a successful reinstatement of all the 500GB storage capacity on the Clickfree External Drive?
Can anyone help me Please!?
