Data Recovery from a RAW External Drive
I have a laptop ( Dell Inspiron 15 7559 ). I have already filled up the details of my laptop. Running Windows 10 Version 20H2.
I swapped my laptop's internal HDD with an SSD and I have been using that HDD as a external backup drive for videos ( Running 2 small Youtube channels). I have one 250GB Crucial m.2 MX500 SSD as primary and one 1TB Samsung QVO 860 2.5" SSD as secondary drive installed in my laptop.
2 days back, I wanted to copy some videos, connected to my laptop and it showed me this.
and in the Disk Management Utility it shows RAW drive.
I have been using this External HDD since 2 years now and was working properly till 20th June (Sunday). The HDD contains around 600GB of videos and some premiere pro files.
Went around internet, watched videos, went on to forums, I bumped into TestDisk recovery utility. Then I came across a thread here How to repair a damaged partition on a data drive?
and went through this.
Please help me recover my HDD into its normal state.
Thank you in advance.
