Hello guys,
Need your help. I have a 1TB WD My passport external hard disk. I plugged in yesterday after almost a year. All of a sudden when copying files it became inaccessible. When i double click it says “Do you want to format it?”.
I checked the disk management tool in windows and it shows the drive as unallocated. Then after reading some forums on the internet I downloaded EASEUS partition manager home edition. It detected that the drive partition was NTFS and showed the used space correctly. So I believed the files were still there. I then clicked “Check errors” option hoping it would fix the errors in the file system and allow me browse the files without taking a backup. The software automatically ran a chkdsk. Now the drive just shows as unallocated in the EASUS partition software and the used space also does not show up.
I am very worried that running that fix errors scan would have damaged the drive. I just want to get my files back as they have super important information.
Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks.
