I have 3x3tb Seagate hhd's. Not in raid. Have had since January of this year.
1 of them now doesn't show up in my computer. If I go to disk management it shows up, but shows invalid. The disk is dynamic. This disk is also 80% full with files/photos/videos I need.
Ive tried several free programs, theres a dynamic disk converter program which says it can convert to basic and not loose files this way. But it doesn't support anything above 2tb. There have also been about 5 'free' or 'demo' programs for file recovery ive used. They find all my files, but I need to buy the program. But they are $100 or more and typically that $100 is just 1 year. I only need it once. And I really don't want to spend $100.
Is there any other way to get my files off and fix this drive? Or just get my files off so I can RMA or something>
