Why
My External Hard Disk Files & Folders Were Gone after Running Disk Check?
Hello,
hope you can help me recover very important USB hard disk files back. Honestly,
I do have a 500GB Seagate USB portable hard disk that has hold nearly 10GB of
videos, documents and songs of the last business meeting. However, last night,
after clicking "Check Now" button to test this hard disk since it
asked me to format before any access, all the stored hard disk information was
gone completely. I just found it all back nowhere. Do you know what on earth
has happened there? What can I do now to find my external drive files back
after that disk error-checking process? Thank you very much!
Hey, there! Are you sure that you’ve done
nothing else to this external hard disk during or after the disk checking
process? Or have you ever saved the important business meeting information
elsewhere? OK! If you are sure you do create some hard disk data backups elsewhere,
go copy the original disk data back as much as possible. But, if you do really
do perform noting there during or after that disk error checking process, you
disk may get some problem somehow. Go extract your computer hard disk data back
with the help of external drive not formatted error recovery software and go
repair the hard disk finally.
Simple
Steps to Help You Retrieve Hard Disk Files & Fix Hard Disk Problems
Really need get hard disk files and folders
back after running disk check and also repair this USB hard disk smoothly? OK!
Here is what you are supposed to do:
Step1:
Go try show up hidden external drive files and folders.
Generally, no matter what you have done to
the assigned USB portable hard disk, the left drive information often can
disappear when you hide them somehow unintentionally. Therefore, firstly go try
whether these original hard disk videos, documents, songs and more can be shown
up again. What you are supposed to do is really simple, like: Start=> Run
=> Type in "control folders" => View=> Mark "Show
hidden files and folders" => OK.
And then, open your external hard disk and
see whether all contents are all restored back.
Please
Note: Only try to unhide the hard disk stuffs and
never write/move new information to overwrite this drive in case of worse data
loss troubles.
Step2.
Rescue hard disk files and folders with reliable USB hard disk file recovery
software.
The computer hard disk information also
could be disappeared weirdly due to some hard disk damages, hard disk RAW file systemerror and even virus infection and more. Therefore, in case of losing more
hard disk data really, it is always not so proper to write or save anything
fresh on this original external hard disk. Therefore, from now on, end using
this drive to hold new stuffs and download reliable data recovery software to
see whether the hard disk videos, photos and files are still possible to be
recovered back.
Please
Note: NO matter whether your selected hard disk data recovery software to retrieve your lost files back completely or not, also
move nothing rescued to the same USB hard disk in case of data recovery
failures.
Of course, it is also not too late to make
drive data backups on else drives or locations to avoid such troublesome data
loss issues.
Step3:
Format this external hard disk to fix all possible problems.
Generally, no matter whether this USB
removable hard disk is inaccessible due to virus, RAW file system error, sudden
power loss or the likes, the formatting process also can help fix some common
hard disk problems and restore its common use. Hence, after retrieving your
lost files from this external drive, formatting this drive can help you a lot
in repairing it.
Step4.
Check this USB hard disk patiently with diagnostic tools at last.
But, if that hard disk formatting process
seems to be useless, your hard disk may get some terrible damages. Merely
perform a diagnostic process there with some professional software and see what’s
wrong with it.

Useful Lessons from This External
Drive Data Loss Trouble:
1).
Create USB hard disk file and folder backups before any disk checking process.
Wiping something very important off from
hard disk due to some disk checking process could be really unreadable
sometimes and also troublesome to fix. Therefore, next time, always save the
USB hard disk files and folders well on the second or third external storage
devices before running disk check.
2).
Take your time to check USB hard disk contents before any disk checking
process.
If you get no habit to timely prepare drive
data backups elsewhere, you also are able to protect your hard disk data by
double checking the portable hard disk contents carefully before any disk
checking process. When you do find something is very, very valuable, merely
save copies of them on other drives or devices at first.
