SARLDO 0 #1 August 14, 2008 Oh Crap! I messed up and unplugged my USB connection from my external hard drive to my laptop at work without doing the "remove device" routine. I immediately got a message saying data has been lost. I tried to look at the drive again and instead of it being listed as "my book" it is simply "F" and it appears to have nothing in it. The device properties show that there is data on the drive though. Additionaly, I use this drive to store my outlook mail as I frequently get mail box full notices at work. I think I may have interrupted the writing of the file allocation table and i'm desperate to recover what's there. Does anyone know how I may recover my data, specifically my outlook email? I'm really screwed if I lose this stuff. I obviously know just enough about computers to be dangerous. HELP!!!!!"Always do right.

madhatter 0 #2 August 14, 2008 Try doing a restart & plugging in the hard drive again. If you still have problems, PANIC, then calm down, PM me & I'll set up a download for you of EasyRecovery - it's the best recovery software I've had the misfortune of having to work with. I.e. I've F*ck*ed up many times & ER recovered the most A VERY MERRY UNBIRTHDAY TO YOU!!! D.S # 125 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
