mjmoses Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Hi I recently put in a second internal HDD (along with my current HDD) in my computer and it is saying that it needed to be formatted to open. I have files already on the drive that I am trying to access, so i do not want to reformat the drive. I was wondering if Recuva can recover those files, Or is it just for drives that are in good working condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Augeas Posted December 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 27, 2016 Recuva needs a drive letter and to be able to open the partition. It recovers at the file level. The only software I have (limited) experience dealing with at the partition level, and seems foolproof, is Partition Magic. Google will get you there.

Moderators DennisD Posted December 27, 2016 Moderators Share Posted December 27, 2016 Some other good programs with the ability to recover partitions ... EaseUs Partition Recovery: (Free version) MiniTool Partition Wizard 9.1: (Free version) TestDisk: (Free) ... TestDisk step by step to recover a missing partition: I'm by no means an expert with this stuff, but have used them with some success, so may be able to help if you get stuck. Hope that helps.
