I'm using Recuva Professional 153 2083 to recover a WD usb hard backup drive which crashed during a backup This ppears in File Explorer as d :. I'm on Windows 11 vresion 22621.1702 running on an Asus X515MA laptop.Sometimes Recuva will see the drive immediately - sometimes, like now, it doesn't. And that's when I get the incorrect parameter message. From previous experience I use a USB connector with a voltage boosterLooking at my screen, File Explorer can see rhe drive, Disk Manager can see it but Recuva cannot - its latest comedy message is that it can see D: but is "unable to detrmine the system type". I suspect this mean it's inRAW format (Disk Management agrees with this) which is why I turned to Recuva to do a high level format.
Can you save me from the psychiatrist's chair?
