Restoring information from an external hard drive
Restoring information from an external hard drive can be a difficult task, but possible under certain conditions. Here are some steps you can take to request data recovery:
1. Check the connection: Make sure your external hard drive is properly connected to the computer or other device. Use different USB ports and check for damaged cables.
2. Use a second computer/OS: If your current computer does not see the external hard drive, try connecting it to a second computer or operating system (Windows/Mac/Linux). This will help to find out the cause of the problem.
3. Restart the device: Restart both your computer and the external hard drive itself.
4. Software for repairing file systems: There are special programs for fixing file system errors on the hard drive - for example, TestDisk (https://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) or EaseUS Partition Master Free (https://www.easeus .com/partition-manager-software/free-partition-recovery.html).
5. Seek professional help: If all the above methods did not help, you may need to contact a data recovery specialist. They have professional equipment and experience for working with damaged hard drives.
It is important to note that when you request self-repair or use software, there is always a risk of deterioration of the condition of your hard drive and the impossibility of subsequent data recovery. Therefore, before starting any manipulations, it is better to create a backup of all available files on another reliable information storage device.
