Lost my data files and unable to recover

Asked By Jordan G Farrell 0 points N/A Posted on - 07/07/2014

Hi everybody,

I am using Seagate 1TB external hard drive from past 2 years and copying the files/folders from my laptop to the external drive. I was clearly maintaining folders and use to copy the files regularly. Today when I have connected and opened it, I couldn't see any files in old folders. Looks like I lost all my data.

Is there any way to recover the data? How can I make sure this will not happen next time? Any help or suggestions will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

Lost my data files and unable to recover

You can try downloading a software called Recuva, which is data recovery tool.

Install this application in your system and then run it.

Perform a scan of the drive where the data was lost.

You should be able to recover files that you have lost, as recoverable files will be displayed on the list.
