External Hard Drive: Installation Media override my files

[i4gotmyacc]

I was making an Installation Media to fix my other laptop. I used my External Hard Drive that had about 200GB out of 1TB storage. After I was able to create the Installation Media into my hard drive, I saw that it replaced my 1TB storage with a 32GB and all the other files were gone.

The one that is circled is the external hard drive that is suppose to say 800GB free space out of 1000GB/1TB. How can I get those files back please?

I'm going to be really screwed up and probably have to end my life because that was everything with my life. I don't know what to do and I'm very nervous.

Correct, it right at the website, it will replace it with the windows iso.
You should be able to recovery file not not within the 32GB location, but those within the 32GB partition is gone.
Should have just bought a cheap usb for it.

You're using the MediaCreation tool?
It specifically warns you that it will wipe everything on the drive in question.

Anyway...try the EaseUS Partition Recovery.

Above all, do NOT write anything else to this drive until you try that.
