[SOLVED] External HD Data Recovery

[walakazoo12]

My external Western Digital hard drive was about 8 years old and became unreadable. I took it out of the casing and put it in my PC. I was forced to format it. Now I am unable to get the data (obviously). I have tried 3 different recovery software (Recuva, Hetman Partition Recovery, and MiniTool Power). This drive has many irreplaceable photos, and I would like to get them back. Any suggestions?

You have to go to a professional to have it recovered.

For reference, I've done it before and it cost $300 at a local shop.

Try with Getdataback. Gives rather good results.
