I am using a 3TB seagate external HD Expansion

Lemme tell u exactly what i did . I downloaded Hard Disk Sintenel and it showed me that i have 16 bad sectors and its health is 74%. I used (HDD regenerator 1.7) and when i started the 'scan and repair' function , an error box appeared that said " Error access violation with some numbers starting with 0x74fec..... " .After that my hard disk is not showing up in "My COMPUTER" , its detected by the computer and the option to remove safely is shown too.



It shows me when i enter Disk Management That Its unallocated and its named as Disk 1 with a black long line and its seperated into two parts 2TB and 700MB . I also by mistake made a new volume which appeared as 2tb in 'My computer' and it was empty (My HD was fully loaded), I was scared so i deleted The volume .



I used partition find and mount but no use , I used Mini Tool Power Data Recovery which recovered for me the second part that i mentioned before which is 700MB .. And it recovered 80% from my Drive but it was Described as RAW , It was not arranged or in specific folders , all the videos where in a folder and all music where in another folder and pictures in another folder . All the files have no Name so i can find what video or music is that specific file. So i need to enter 30,000 files to check what is what .





I am using EaseUS Data Recovery Now and it will take long time to finish , so can u plz help me solve this problem or a program that can recover all my data's but with some sense and specific file name , i dont want Raw files .

I am sorry for this Leanthy thread but I need to say waht i did exactly and what happened exactly , Hopefully someone can help me .

Thanks
 
Solution
Attach the disk to your pc. View it on Windows Explorer. Right Click on it. Click on Properties. Click on Tools. Click Check Now

Checkdisk is a Windows program.
For a start - you used 3rd party software when everything could be done with Windows. And it sounds like you downlaoded shonky software. :esson learned I hope.

MiniTools is the only 3rd party software I would've recommended. You should also do a Checdisk on it and use Seatools to see if the drive is working OK.

I suggest you copy what you can from it. then re-format it and copy your data back.
