Files disappear from a second drive after reinstalling OS
Two weeks ago my primary hdd, a Samsung 850 Pro 1TB died, but I wasn't very worried being the drive in warranty and having a second hard drive (a WD 2 TB) where I store photos, documents, saves and other important files.
I proceeded to reinstall the OS on the new drive and something weird is going on; on the second drive many files just disappear, like it was restored a older version of the content. Basically latest files are time stamped june 2015.
I tried different recovery programs with both light and deep scan (Data Rescue 3, Ease Recovery, Getback, ecc.) but none of those programs can find any trace of the files I am looking for and I am going crazy to understand what is going on.
The only difference is that I am using a different SATA port on the MB than before.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
