Hello everyone !
I was clearing junk in my house today and i managed to find an old laptop which i left it lying a couple of years back ( i believe it was 2010~ when i got the laptop ). It's an acer 4820TG and i plan on retrieving old data that's left in the hard disk.
I tossed the laptop aside a couple of years back because it was unable to boot due to hard disk errors and i had no idea on how to solve it. So, today i took out the hard disk from the laptop, decided to try to connect it to a separate desktop to cheek whether the drive's still working. To my surpise, the drive was detected by the desktop and it could be opened from my computer, so when i want to retrieve the data, it asks for permission to view file ,i click yes and it goes into a long load.
So , my question, Is there any other quicker ways to retrieve the data safely ,/ should i be using apps like recuva to get my files ?
Thanks in advance !
