Data drive recovery
Posted: 04 Mar 2017, 21:58
I have lost access to my data files stored on a 6 TB WDC drive - formatted as a single partition (NTFS). I was trying to create a recovery USB flash drive using Dell OS Recovery Tool and I suspect I selected the data drive as the destination flash drive by accident. This tool creates a bootable USB drive from a Windows ISO file. The Windows ISO file was on my data drive. The utility did not start the copying process as it could no longer find the recovery file.
I assume the Dell utility reformatted my data disk and appears to have changed the partition table as the drive is now listed as a 28.96GB FAT32 partition and 5559.94 GB Unallocated space. I would appreciate any advice on steps to follow to try and reverse above and recover my data drive
