Renamed my "Data" HDD drive, Ignored warning, lost "documents" folder
Hi "guys" i'm in the mire. Well n truly. Im running win 10 and its been updated to the Nov Update PRIOR to the latest problem. I have 1x SSD and normally 2 HDDs at 2TB. OS is on SSD and Data on HDD1
I can't at this moment supply more speck on my desk top comp. Other than to say, everything is no more than 3 years old. I had a couple of HDD 2TB which played up and i was working on them. I was getting back inside the comp to rearrange the SATA cables etc and swapping drives. I then renamed my drive letters to try to give some clarity to which of the 3 drives was which & to align the cables on the mother board. I ignored the warning when i renamed the only drive which was not part of the problem and before i had thought about it, hit the button. The drive showed a new letter but id lost a folder. I tried renaming it to no avail. This is THE FOLDER i least wanted to loose. I have tried renaming, and, renaming the drive back, i have also tried Reccuva, which did not disclose anything which looked like the lost files let alone the folder. I have looked at Stellar and EasUS in so far as doing scans but nothing has shown up to suggest it will be worth the cost of the prog/s . I am now considering "Easy Partition" with a view to recover the whole drive. I have not written to the drive and fully expect the files to be present if i can convince something to return the drive to a state where i can see a folder which could be my documents. Without the sys spec i know this is short of info but that info is mainly in the lost folder. If somebody wants specific info ill find it. Q..whats the chances of Easy Partition restoring the drive with the missing folder intact ? Cheers
