COOSEFAN Report post Posted April 11, 2012 When I plug in the HD into my laptop now, it opens up fine and works, but shows that it's empty with no folders or files, and 500 GB of space ready to use! Is there a chance that everything is still on there?? I don't see how, before it had over 460 GB of stuff on it and I was needing to buy a new HD because this one was almost full. Now it says it's got 500 GB available, so I'm guessing it got wiped clean when my PC crashed the last time. My best amateur guess is it's gone unless those files are showing up on your PC trash folder. Sounds like either the drive was (re)initialized or evereything inadvertently dumped on your crash. It stinks either way. Those bulls you posted are some pigs for sure! Oink Oink. I don't think I'm holding out for anything in that class--probably spike and up for me Best of luck to you and your clients this fall! Thanks! Like Casey said earlier, I've had a problem in the past with my old computer crashing but I always felt safe having the external HD backing everything up. I thought those things were bullet proof but I guess not! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snapshot Report post Posted April 11, 2012 I wouldn't think your computer crashing would cause the external hard drive to delete data, or re-format itself? It usually takes a command input from the user to the OS to take such an action. But then I am not a computer whiz. Is the external hard drive designation letter the same as it was before? Hopefully it is fixable for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DotShot Report post Posted April 11, 2012 Just because the drive shows nothing on it doesn't mean it is all gone. Unless you do specific types of formatting old data is still on the drive. There are various programs out their designed to access and recover lost data assuming the hard drive itself did not fail. Just do a Google search for data recovery and do your research.

Thanks, I'll definitely look further into it! I just figured since it's a 500GB HD, and it's now showing that I have 500GB of storage available that it must've been wiped clean somehow. It did have over 460GB worth of video and pics stored before! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whitey Manny's gonna go family first and then roll down the list with you guys....AND, that's only if my clients don't wave enough cash in his face and get him to hunt elsewhere!
