1307862 2012-10-21 03:50:00 I have been trying to free up my 500 GB Hardrive on my laptop Windows 7 to a WD 250GB usb hdd and I was also writing to an SD card well its ended up with only the SD card showing with files that were supposed to be on there only, now I can't access the main files that was trying to back up. Is there any easy way to retrieve these files as I have a lot of video's that I don't want to loose
Here is what I have when I look in Control Panel Administrative Tools Computer Management Disk Management =
Disk 1 Basic 232.88 Online
E: 75 MB FAT 32 (Healthy Active Primary Partition)
244 MB Healthy (Primary Partition)
3.32 GB Healthy (Primary Partition)
229.25 GB Unallocated Which is where all the files that I want and can't access.

You'll more than likely need some Partition Recovery software.Have read of this (forums.whirlpool.net.au)
