I have posted this on the 'Computers/IT' section of the forum but thought I would copy it here aswell....
I wonder if anyone can help me here please. I have a Seagate exernal hard drive (250gb), (USB connection) which has all my pictures/videos/documents etc stored on it. I cannot access anything. My laptop 'recognises' the drive but when I double click on it it eventually gives the message "Disk in Drive E is not formatted - do you want to format it now?" I know if I clicked 'yes' it would wipe everything off the drive. I have tried a different USB lead and also tried connecting it to another laptop and another PC.
Does anyone know if there is any data receovery software (free of charge if possible) I could try? Obviously, because of the content of some of the files ....ie naked pics of me...lol, I cannot take it to PC World or similar stores or even have my 'tech guy' at work look at it!
Any help would be much appreciated otherwise I have lost everything, including all my photos and videos!
