Hi guys,
I had my external hard drive connected to my laptop, and opened in windows explorer. I wasn't transferring any files to or from the hard drive.
I unplugged the laptop, but forgot that I had taken out the battery, so it turned off.
After booting my laptop back up, I can't find any files on my external HDD. All the root folders are there, but they are all empty. Showing hidden files shows nothing.
Plus, I keep getting the "Windows - Delayed Write Failed" errors.
When I check the HDD properties, it still says 480GB is in use, which leads me to believe the data is still there, and is hopefully recoverable.
A lot of the data consisted of movies and software iso's, i.e. a relatively small number of large files, if that makes any difference.
I would hate to lose all my stuff. Given my situation, how would I go about getting it back?
Thanks so much in advance.
