georges_walker Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 <p>I will appreciate your suggestions for an application suitable for recovering external hard disks. The problem is just logical (my best guess).<br>Inside the disk there is a floder with erratic behaviour, the antivirus is updated and reports nothing about virus pr threads.<br>Thanks in advance</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsimmons Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 <p>On a Mac, I would suggest DiskWarrior. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wouter Willemse Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 <p>In this sense, external disks are no other than internal disks.<br> Which OS are you using? In case of Windows, try running a disk check in the external disk first. It should sort most of the common problems related to the filesystem or damaged files.</p> <p>But a bit more explicit description of the problematic behaviour (exact errormessages, description of what/how/when, details on your system) will help a lot in giving your better detailed advice.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc_vayssieres Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 <p>If chkdsk does do it I recommend Spinrite by Gibson Research (http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm). I used it in the past to recover files from a dying hard drive.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djolk Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 <p>photorec is quite free - not sure as in beer, or from encumbrance - I've used it quite successfully to recover photos I deleted accidentally. It will work with other files, as well.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jinga_bey Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 <p>Hi All,<br> Try connecting your external hard drive to any healthy computer and see whether it’s getting detected. If it gets detected try using a recovery software to recover your data. When I face any situation like you I use Yodot Photo Recovery software to recover photos, videos, music, documents, emails and many other file types. It is one of the best utility to <a href="http://www.yodot.com/photo-recovery/photos-from-hard-drive.html">recover photos from hard drive</a>. Hope this software helps you in recovering your data from external drive</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
