Hello this is my first post but I have high hopes for this forum.
I was transferring and deleting files from my hard drive and it kept freezing up on me and forcing me to restart my laptop via holding down the power button.
My problem is that now, when I connect my HD it appears as a generic lettered disk, with no properties and tells me that I have to format it, which will lose me about 1TB of important data.
I doubt it is the case as it is only a few months old and has not sustained any physical damage and had been working fine until today.
I would love any way to repair the drive without losing it all.
At the very least I would like to find a way to copy the data onto my other hard driveS before formatting.
Thanks very much!
