A friend of mine had his laptop crashed, and the data on his hard drive was transferred to an external hard disk. He told me that he had some missing files before the machine crashed that he wanted to retrieve (i.e. deleted or erased by format). Is there a way to retrieve such files? If in the original hard disk, I know that there are some solutions for retrieving deleted files for instance. But, once transferred, can this also be done? Are they hidden somewhere on the external hard disk?

Thanks.

I am not sure whether it can be retrieved, I know some recovery tools are much powerful like 4Card Recovery. You can have a try. If it works, that will be a happy ending.
