Portable HD Missing Files and Folders
Posted: 28 Apr 2012, 01:24
Hello,
I have a wd passport 320 GB hard drive where I have multiple folders and thousand of files. The format is Fat32 and I use it primarily on my mac computer. Yesterday, plugging in my mac computer I lost almost all the files and folders with a few files remaining. I had used approx 170/320 GB and now my hard drive says 298/298 free. It is like it reformatted automatically. I used testdrive to recover most of the files. My question is can I "fix" my actual hard drive without reformatting and copy the files back over.
I tried to rebuild BS with no luck. I can see my partition and when I press P to see the files and folders most are red. I tried to repairfat with no success. Don't want to waste time if it is not possible what I am attempting. Thanks!
