PhotoRec does not recognize my external HDD
Posted: 15 Jan 2014, 15:26
Hello everybody and thank you for the excellent work of support you offer.
I do not know if this is the right section for my problem.
During a reinstallation of my OS (Chakra Linux), I accidentally formatted the Home partition.
I would like to recover the data, whereas by the time I realized the error I have not used my netbook, so there should not be ovewriting.
I've tried using PhotoRec, as part of the package Parted Magic, but (maybe I'm incapable) it does not recognize the external HDD (TrekStore Data Station - 1 Tb) on which I would like to transfer the data.
What do you advise me to do?
Please Help!
