SUDYEcaZ 67 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 Experts I need suggestion to restore/recover date from my external HDD Seagate(2.5 years old) Here is what when wrong:- I tried defragment the HDD using windows 7 After the defragment got successfully over, I was able to access my drive but was not able to play media files, after an hour or so windows will recognizes the HDD but wont show any contends, will keep asking to format it. I tried to format it using quick format, windows is not able to do so, tried using diskpart as well later I tried to create partition using Windows disk management, Partition got created but window was unable to format the same. I have tried following ways to format the disk Using windows 7, gives error message format did not completed successfully(Full format and Quick Format) using Diskpart, gives error that I/O operation error using HP USB DISK FORMAT TOOL, errors out saying that disk is write protected Using easeus partition master home edition, error Format was not complete successfully Tried following ways to recover the data, but in all the method scan was not successful as the estimate time runs into months. Please suggest a way from which i can recover my pics(around 20GB). few of the recovery tools that i have tried are easeus data recovery wizard professional minitool power data recovery icare data recovery delete plus I have also tried HDD Regenerator, kept it running for whole day and it scanned just 200MB of data Any suggestions are most welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kundalus 24 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 Try pareto logic, but if ur hard drive is not getting detected then there is a prob here. Try checking of drivers are properly installed. Even drivers create issue, remove and reinstall then from device manager. If u can't find pareto logic, let me know. Will provide u with the link.

rajanmehta 4,056 Report post Posted August 21, 2012 Should try to avoid formatting / partitioning when data recovery needs to be done. That just makes the process more difficult. Try Easy Recovery Professional from Ontrack. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rightly said rajanbhai, do not write anything or try to format the drive. u can get the data even after formatting but the chances become slim. So dont try to temper with the hard drive if u really want all your data back Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
