JeannieO Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 My external drive kept giving me the need to format before being able to use message, but having been able to recover it before (years ago), I went ahead and formatted it, making sure to have the Quick format box checked. i ran Recuva and it was able to “recover” a long list of files, but there was no folder structure and all the files were 0 bytes, so they weren’t really recovered. What do I do now? Try again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators nukecad Posted January 13 Moderators Share Posted January 13 To recover the non-deleted files from a drive that has had to be reformated takes a different process then the usual recovery of deleted files. See this for a step by step guide on how to do it (and a link to a video that shows it being done): *** Out of Beer Error ->->-> Recovering Memory *** Keep getting logged out of websites?
