Yes like you said the partitions of the hard disks are showing just like one disk . But my damaged hard disk was not appearing in that box but after you told me to chech out those boxes in 'option' I checked it but it didn't work for me but I am seeing some shadow copy of drive .
The last one is the shadow copy of drive and don't get confused the first 4 local disks are partition of a hard disk . I am not seeing the damaged hard drive there .
Hi,
Every partition on the HDD would appear as a "Drive"...
Try this... Click on "Options"... "Actions" tab, and check these boxes...
I am not seeing the hard disk in my computer . I am seeing the hard disk in disk management only thats why recuva also isn't showing the hard disk . So please tell me step by step what should I do to recover my files.
As
you can see disk 1 is unallocated and its not showing in my computer and in recuva its not showing too
Hi,
If you can not run CHKDSK, you might try the free "RECUVA" Data Recovery Program if you still want to try to save your files...
If you can tolerate losing everything on the drive, then yes, go ahead and "Initialize" it...
When asked, be sure to select "MBR"... not "GPT (GUID)"...
Whatever happen to my files if it doesn't matter then should I do the disk initialization . Bcoz I want my HDD back .
