Can someone please help, I have 20 years of memories stored in this portable HDD and it is not working.
My system: Windows 7
Portable HDD: Transcend SATA HDD 1TB
* I was copying files into it for storage
* My computer hang during the copying process.
* I forcely restarted the computer, then the HDD would not show in "my computers"
* Opening up the Disk Management, it is shown but Not Initialized
* So I tried to initialize using MBR, then it shows "Data Error (cyclic redundancy check)."
* So I inialized again using GPT, it worked now.
* Disk is now initialized, but without a volume
-->After reading suggestions for how to fix a CRC - use CHKDSK, which needs to locate a disk volume
* So I assigned a simple Volume, to E:, but CHKDSK doesn't work...
* In the Disk Management the HDD shows Healthy. But kept on asking me to format it!!!
I so wish to have the data back.
Can someone help.
Is there a way, even if purchasing a disk check software is needed.
Many many thanks
