Windows Setup formatted my external USB drive
Posted: 08 Nov 2012, 20:53
I have a Buffalo 1TB external USB HDD which I am unable to get into as Windows setup formatted it, actually I pressed the key so technically....
The log output isn't helping me too much having gone through a few FAQ's some identical to mine, any help would be fantastic.
There is 950GB of the usual rubbish, music, Videos, Documents, Programs etc.. I need to recover.
