I have a portable hard drive that has lots of photo files on it, but they don't show up when I use file explorer (Windows). What's the best (safest) software to use to get them to appear so I can copy them?
If you would like to post, you'll need to register. Note that if you have a BCG store account, you'll need a new, separate account here (we keep the two sites separate for security purposes).
I tried Recuva....it found no files I was looking for. Both ProGrade and EaseUS have free downloads which simply let you see if the s/w can findthe files you are looking for. You have to pay to actually retrieve the files - which doesn't guarantee all the files will be readable. Thankfully, the 2 days of video clips I retrieved with EaseUS Recovery Pro were fine.Try Recuva from Piriform.
