Recovery of removable disk
Recovery of a removable disk may be necessary if it has become inoperable or the data on it has been damaged. Here are some steps that can help you get your removable drive working again:
1. Check the physical condition: Make sure that the disk itself and its connectors (USB port) are intact and there is no visible damage.
2. Use a different port/cable: If the problem occurs when connecting via a computer USB port or cable, try using other ports or replace the cable.
3. Update device drivers: Outdated or damaged drivers for your removable hard drive are often the cause of problems.
– Press Win + X -> Task Manager
– Section “Other devices” -> Right-click on the associated entry->Update software
4. Check the "Data Management" menu:
– Go to MY COMPUTER / Ето компутер;
– Select the System section;
– Go to Data Management.
5. Use programs to restore data: If all the above methods did not help, you can try using special software to restore data from a damaged disk.
Some of these programs are:
– Recuva
- EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard
– Disk Drill
6. Turn to professionals: If nothing has helped and the data on your removable disk is very valuable, it is best to seek help from a professional information restoration service or the company that developed the device.
It is important to note that when working with your hard drive, you should be careful and save a backup of all important files on a second storage (on a second physical drive). This prevents data loss in the event of possible problems with the device itself or erroneous user operations
