Hi,
Anyone got ideas on best software for External Hard Drive failure? HD is Buffalo USB Book type, 320GB. Device Manger is showing but not in My Computer?
Usually after loading Buffalo CD popup asks for password and that was all required, but now its as if the drive is being used for the first time, asking for setup password ect?
Costs are a factor, I see upwards of 100.00 pounds, very expensive.
I have a free programe which could recover the data if it could only see the drive shown in My computer ? I could format the drive using Buffalo CD software but surely that would end all data on the drive , but it would allow the recovery progame to see the drive???? Would the recovery programe be able to dig out the data recently formated?
All good advice welcome,
Berne
