Question How to recover deleted files from external drive ?

[ali0007]

How to recover deleted files from external drive ? I have tried to use easeus data recovery. It scans the drive for too long, then when I opted for recovery, it goes on and on. After 1.5 days, it only showed 1% progress. Devastated now. Please guide me what to do.

Update your post to include full system hardware specs and OS information.

Make and model external drive? Capacity, how full (if known). USB connection? Does the external drive have its' own power supply?

What error messages or pop-up windows (if any) are presented when you attempt to recover the deleted files?

Or does it just "scan" continuously without any other feedback?

When connected does the external drive appear in Disk Management?

It appears that your external drive may be dead. Can you retrieve its SMART info with a tool such as CrystalDiskInfo?
