<p>[QUOTE=&quot;James-2489, post: 39228, member: 2317&quot;]Hello Makanudo, It is not really a computer problem, that works fine. While I was in the UK I bought a Samsung 2Tb USB drive for £60 (72 Euros) in our very local shop, cheaper than the internet prices on that day. I think that the desktop PC may have been accessing the drive at the moment of the power cut, I think that the data headers may have been corrupted so that my PC and this laptop see a drive that requires formatting. I know that much of the files are still there even if they are not accessable because of corrupted headers. In computer management it still sees the drive with the &quot;Partitions&quot; (D,I &amp; J) that I set when I originally formatted and partitioned the drive, &quot;J&quot; was where I saved a W10 recovery drive Image for my laptop.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regards, James.</p><p><br /></p><p>PS. to truly clean a drive you have to write FF or 00 (Hex) to every Byte on the drive. That is why the police can catch the Paedophiles so easily, they think that formatting their drives removes all information, It does not, it only destroys the headers. What I need is some of that sophisticated software to recover the bulk of my data rather than re-scanning all the stamps when I return to the UK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
