i have a verbatim 500gb external hard drive i dropped it and now it turns on and starts up as normal but the computer doesnt recognise it is there any way to recover the data that i have stored on it as there are a lot of pictures and home movies
if not under warranty, take the drive out of the enclosure & hook it up internally to your pc if it is a desktop. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?id=38&sort=0 http://www.ontrack.com/freesoftware/ http://www.z-a-recovery.com/download.htm http://www.snapfiles.com/Freeware/system/fwdatarecovery.html http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/collection/collid,1295-order,1-c,downloads/files.html http://www.easeus.com/ http://www.ntfs.com/products.htm http://www.pcinspector.de/download.asp?language=1#file_recovery http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec
