I need to recover my files from a hard drive that I accidentally repartitioned. I needed to download an iso file in order to update windows. I followed the instruction from Windows. But I wrote it to an external hard drive that has a lot of important data, and I didn't not realize that writing the iso file to the drive would actually repartition it. It is a 1TB external hard drive that has tons of data: music, video, and photos, backup for my laptop.
At the same time when I was downloading the windows update, I was still doing the backup of my laptop the same hard drive.
After the "download", my 1TB hard drive showed up as a 32 GB drive in "my computer" and all the data that was in the drive disappeared. The 32GB drive contains the windows update files.
I have tried a few software in the attempt to recover the file with the file structure (meaning the file names and the folders). EaseUS data recovery, Active Partition Recovery, GetDataBack, etc. None of them seem to work so far.
Could anybody help me find a good software to do the recovery? I wonder if I need to remove the 32GB partition in order to successfully recover my files.
The external hard drive is Seagate backup plus portable drive and it only has one whole partition before. I use a windows 10 laptop.
