Well, it finally happened. Three weeks ago there was a power glitch here
when shutting down the one laptop, and the result was that the directory of my
external hard drive was corrupted. I've tried the demo versions of a number of
fairly powerful recovery software packages, only to learn repeatedly that
although a large number of JPG, Tif/TIFF, BMP, and other file types are
recognised, they are beyond recovery. Or so they tell me.
I'm at the point where I'm reasonably convinced that the data I've been
storing on this drive is lost, and a lot of that was my photos of many years
plus PDF copies of papers that were being used for various projects.
Fortunately, the files for active projects have been stored on the laptops or
the desk computer, and files for electronics projects are stored on the desk
computer, one of which was nearing completion.
Looking for drive recovery software by way of online searches is probably
not conclusive, so before I go to the final step and format the drive I'd like
to hear if there is any software out there in cyberland that can do the job
better than what I've used so far.
