Hey guys,
So I have an external Maxtor OneTouch 4 usb harddrive, and yesterday I got the dreaded "The Disk is not formatted, Do you want to format it now?" prompt when I tried to look at the disk.
So I'm looking for the best/cheapest/free partition recovery software that I can use. There is a bunch of software out there, and a lot of it is terrible. I used VirtualLab to scan the disk, and I found that all the files I need are recoverable, but it's upwards of $200 to use that software to recover them, so I'm looking for some cheaper options.
Keep in mind, Windows thinks the disk is "RAW" so many generic NTFS file recovery programs won't cut it.
So what do ya'll reccomend?
THanks!
