| 1461024 | 2019-05-29 05:29:00 | Ok, I started the Search for data what shows is on the 4TB Unallocated space partition of Xboft to looking into other external HDD's, When I click to view the contents of Folders and sub-folders there is so much data in there that this job is not going to be a fast one. Fortunately I can say that what I have checked out so far is all good, I have copied the Data to other External 3TB-4TB HDD's and have left it in the 4TB HDD to make sure that all is well with the Copies before I deleted them, and I quite simply have forgotten to remove them. :D... but there is a mass of search/compare to do. So, thank you all for your suggestions and time helping me. I am going to have to work my way through the Data/ folders shown in Xboft, opening all the subfolders and saving a Snipping Tool picture of all that is there, because if my computer shuts down before I have finished the lengthy seek/ and find in other HDD then I will have to run Xboft again to get the info of what is on the 4TB HDD to continue the Seek and Unhide mission before me. Thank you all very much. I will come back to tell the end result. Cheers Garry |

| 1461025 | 2019-06-08 00:37:00 | Ok I finally got a partial recovery. Am about to perform the Recovery this afternoon...going to be a long one. Figured that in order to do a recovery of data I had to have a usable partition so I created one from the 3.76TH unallocated space. I used Easeus Partition Master 10 to do that because Disk Management wouldn't do it when I right clicked the unallocated space. Once I had the partition of 3.76TB to do a recovery I had to upgrade the Free Easeus Data Recovery Wizard to the Pro version as the free version only allowed 2GB data recovery. I then started the deep scan of the partition at 11pm last night...it showed it was going to take 11 hours to complete scan. It is done now and I can see all that it has found in the "Lost Partition" ...it has found 8TB of data (on a 4TB HDD :D ) so thee is obviously found data I had previously moved to other external HDD's. But, I have a complete view of all data found, and now I have to look through it all, check other external HDD's for that same data in them and then only choose to recover that which I was too lazy to transfer from the now data recoverable HDD to other HDD's... I know there is a giant folder of avi's on that HDD and that is why I bought it...my other external HDD that it was on had gotten into the status bar showing used/available space in RED! not good to have that. Anyway this is going to be a long process so will give the result final when I have it. cheers |
