Hi guys

Anyone got a suggestion on 100% free software I can use to recover a hard drive I put in my NAS hoping to read - it automatically formatted it.

Everything I've tried so far that says it's free conceals the fact that it needs payment in some form, often $70 +

I'm out of work so cash-strapped. :-(

Thanks

Thanks

Update: it seems Recuva can't see the drive.

Other supposedly 'free' recovery software packages, Easeus amonst them, do but having found the files, allow only a preview with no save until sizeable payment. I feel duped. It's not transparent pricing/advertising.

Since the drive was part of a RAID (what level of RAID and how many drives were in it?), you may not be able to recover the files that were on the drive prior to being formatted for the RAID itself.

When you say that Recuva can't see the drive, does Windows detect it?
