WD Elements deleted everything, how to recover it

[michellewagoner]

I need help on finding a trustworthy program to recover files lost on my WDelements external drive. I used it recently and all was there. Any ideas on getting it all back?

Hi there michellewagoner,

In case the data is not overwritten, you should be able to recover at least some of the data with the tool that Someone Somewhere already suggested.
After that, it may be a good idea to test the drive with WD's Data Lifeguard Diagnostic tool after that. There may be something wrong with the drive, which caused the data loss.

WD's DLG tool: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=OQkGwp

Hope this will help,
