[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1050798, member: 176704"] Good afternoon Today's "bad news" is that the backup USB drive that my stepdaughter used with her old laptop now appears to have "No files" on either of the partitions and so I can't retrieve some quite important files from it - last week's bad news was the old laptop itself went ***sup and I am now setting up a new one for her, and she needs those files off the USB drive to put on it. Earlier this afternoon the USB drive appeared to be working when connected to the new laptop, and I was reorganising the files prior to copying them to that laptop - then suddenly "everything" on each partition just disappeared! I changed USB cables, swopped the drive into another USB enclosure and so-on, but nothing worked - and even using the Computer Management console showed no files on the partitions. So, I (rather rapidly!) need to find some decent file recovery s/w for HDDs (I have s/w for SD cards, but nothing specifically for HDDs) as I haven't had this problem for some time (except for the total disaster last Oct when the HDD of my main laptop went belly up during the 1st attempt to clone it to the SSD!). Therefore your suggestions would be most appreciated! [/QUOTE]
