Hello,
I had a computer with Windows XP. I had my external hard drive formatted to it. The computer crashed and cannot be recovered. I now have a computer with Windows 7. When I plug in the external hard drive to my new computer it asks to format it. I know, as well as you do, that I will lose all of the saved data if I do this. My question is: Can I use the software partition recovery tools discussed in this forum in order to recover the information off of my external hard drive? And how does the software work (Do I plug in the external hard drive and the software reads it or what)? Please help.
