How to Recover Data from an External Hard Drive 5 Simple Steps

Hello. I am so angry that my 4K TV deleted my files after i had watched videos and images through it. Now I'm worried about plugging any terrabyte drives to this tv. Worst yet i had copied my dvd and cd discs to these ext hdds to watch through my tv and then destroyed my discs and checked away. Had i not done that i would have still had my discs as back up. Would this software retrieve deleted data that vanished from the drive after watching them through a tv???

Someone used my External Hard Drive to Transfer Data from Windows computer to Apple MacBook via my 4 TB External Hard Drive, but after transferring my External Hard Drive shows only 32 GB space (+ some transferring folders), and there are none of my files shown, could someone please explain how to recover hidden or lost or deleted or formatted files in my External Hard Drive

its says that I have to pay to restore my data. What's the point on "free download"?

Hi there … I’m recovering files accidentally lost while formatting a WD external hard drive on my Mac desktop. I’m using the Pro version of Disk Drill. All is going well with the exception that it’s not recovering the original file name … it’s categorized under documents, videos, etc … but no original file names … I only see various numbers. Any suggestions other than me having to open and identify each file separately? Thank you in advance.

once i save my recovered photos to desktop, can i drag them back to my harddrive?

It works 100%!...thanks a lot for such a great skill and gift!

Hello, fellow kids. I also wear my baseball cap backwards.

Hi! I have files on external hard drive i now cannot access because it tells me the files are in use... Can you explain what that means?

This looks,amazing. I lost everything on the external hard drive. The big problem is I do not know how to proceed primarily because I am 76. Is there any further help
You could give

What a joke. 90 bucks for this shit? Damn. What a rip off. Oh well. Smh.

...but I want to keep the files on the same external drive. I cant ?

Lifesaver! Thanks so much!

I have never had any luck with recovery software but gonna give this one a shot today. Lost some epic channel content I hope I can recover. Thank you

I lost all my data on external hard drive when installing Windows 11 to external hard drive do you have any solution for this

10 min in and I m not sure this is for me. I lost all my files 74G in 2T ext Seagate drive apparently when I used that drive to make a windows 10 Boot Drive. Foolishly, fig windows would just put the files where needed as it only needed 8G.

When I went back to instructions on a geek site, in fine print, when you proceed u will loose all files. WTF. 1) Why would someone make a great how to page with screen shots and not add a big fing box to the side Warning!!! Nope. It gets worse. Microsoft media creation tool did not offer a warning either during the process!!!. All these dudes at MS putting shit into windows for 30 yrs to add so much shit to anticipate every situation and need - but not THIS??? Collusion to take out computers 1) to buy more MS shit 2) destroy the independents consultants etc.

Now, with all that dribble, does anyone by chance have a solution to recover what used to be my E drive now D drive. Only files on the Ext 2T drive are W Boot 4G.

Kiss it good bye , format and at least get my 2T back? Do I need to the original Seagate one touch software that was on there? How to get it back?

Activation code? Does anyone has?

So that I understand, after Disk Drill recovers the files, we can't use the external drive? I wanted to put everything back onto the external drive after it is recovered. This is not possible? Also, will we still be able to use the external drive to save future files on?

Should i do these? because i want to find the files that was on dektop screen of my previous laptop but the one i saw on my enclosure is different, the files i saw are the one that is before i edited the files. Thank you

Thank u ❤️

Hi Andy thanks for the video. One thing though is, I am dealing with a drive locked by bitlocker. Can you do a video on recovering files on a bitlocker-locked/encrypted drive? I was able to create byte-to-byte backup ( in ISO file) onto another external hdd, but it seems its still locked and difficult to access files. You might help. Thanks in advance

I've been looking for a program or tutorial for "scraping" data (not backup files or programs) off an accumulation of disk drives (both HD, SSD and flash drives) to "bulk" deposit (whether moving or copying) to one large hard drive to run a de-duplication program and sort old from new, and organize old data photo, xls, pdf, photos, document & video etc. data. Any hints, tips mor suggestions?

How to recover original file name on reconstructed files?

OS 10.10.5

hi great video , So i downloaded and ran the basic version . It successfully retrieved all of my data it seems. I ran the all recovery data option and now have nearly double the data than that of the actual hard drive which is 2 tb . There are deepscan folders with almost 2 tb alone . I have many pro tools session folders which i can see but many don't have the plug in setitngs folder associated with them .
So i need to know what do i transfer in order to restore these sessions in full .. There is so much extra information and data that i don't know what is essential here. I can't download it all as i only have another 2 tb drive for the transfer . This is confusing i need help asap please . thank you

Hi,

I recently transferred some of my photos and videos to my external hard drive. Later, I renamed the external hard drive. Could this have caused some folders on the drive to get deleted or lost?

Thank you very much for your help.

Not free but worth the payment. Huge thanks to the uploader for this video. The interface and options have changed since this video was created but it doesn't matter, it clearly defaults to the best recovery methods now instead of you having to choose them.

Disk Drill not only managed to recover EVERY SINGLE FILE from my disk that I accidentally screwed up and had become RAW according to Windows, but incredibly it also managed to maintain the original FOLDER structure! In other words the end result was as though nothing had ever happened, it was a perfect rescue.
It is a truly magnificent piece of software, even if you're in that awful panicked state with your disk and it seems nothing will fix it.

I’m can’t justify downloading pro for a one time data recovery. Is there another payment option for a one time recovery?

Thank You for helping recover the info files.

Disk drill sucks

I have a question for you, how many times I can use a recovery software in the same external storage device? and why? I will appreciate to much your answer, greetings from mexico.

SICK !! Lifesaver.
nothing worked, nearly lost everything.
CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH!!!!
