Hi all,
Sorry for the strange subject, but it is a bit tough to put in words... Here is my problem:
I have an External Hard Drive, Bufallo HD HX2.0TU3, 2TB. Basically when plugged in, it displays 2 Drives: one which is 650MB with Utiliys on it, and then the other drive with the 1,8 TB remaining.
One of my game is installed on this external HDD, and yesterday, when I was playing it, the HDD stopped working, and was not recognized anymore.
It was not the USB's fault, but the Power Adapter: when plugged in, the HDD would start spinning, and the stop after a few seconds.
I opened the case, and directly plugged the HDD on my Computer. It directly worked, but only the "first partition" is recognized, the one which is 650 MB, the other one appears in Disk Management as Unallocated. I thought it's because no Letter is assigned to it, but when right-clicking it, my only options are to creat a New Simple/Spanned/Stripped/Mirrored Volume.
I tryed many Partition/Data recover softwares, but noone of them find this partition when entering the recover wizzard.. I'm about to try the Create New Simple Volume option, but I'm afraid to loose all the data on it (yep it's almost full and I didn't create any backup...).
So, will creating a new siple volume only give the partition a volume without touching the data? Or should I try something else?
I'm using Windows 10, the disk is FAT32.
Please let me know if you need mor information & thanks in Advance!
