Recovering lost data
 

I screwed up. I was making a bootable usb and accidentally selected an external hd. The program I was using to make the usb, formatted the ext. drive, but did not mount the iso.
I can see the hd in disk management. It is reformatted and is described as:
No volume label. Layout=Simple. Type=Basic. File system= RAW. Status=Healthy (Active, Primary partition).
The program I am using to try to use to recover the data is "RecoverMyFiles".
Upon opening the program, I have two choices: Recovery my files and Recover my drive. Clicked recover drive. Doesn't show the drive that needs work. I figure that it needs a volume label to be recognized.

I don't want to do anything else yet, before I talk to the pro's.:)
Thanks for any tips! This drive had all my backups from previous computers, so it's pretty important.:o

BTW, The drive is a 1TB and had several partitions.

Edit: Looking into it more, I think I may need a partition recovery software. DL'ing EASUS partition Recovery now. But won't do anything to the drive, until advised further.

Easeus is probably your best bet.

OK, that's what I'll do,
thanks for the advice.


Update: The Easeus software is working. Found the partitions and is recovering the files now.
Thanks again.
