I have a 750GB external hard drive with an NTFS partition connected to my computer through USB. I have pictures and home videos from several vacations that are the most important to me. When I got home from my recent vacation and turn on my computer I see that my external hard drive (Z:/) is not accessible.
I'd usually ask my ex but we're not talking anymore. He installed Linux in my computer and when I go there I can see the external drive and several files I can see and open but the majority I cant open and some pictures you can only see like the top or bottom half cause the rest is black. The same thing happens when I plug the drive to my macbook pro.
I'm using Windows 7 and I opened partition magic and it shows me that Z:/ is in RAW format. I can't error check or defrag Z: because its not accessible and windows wants me to format even though I know theres a lot of my data in the drive.
How can I recover all my photos and home videos?
