asked on Data recovery tools for external hard drive
Hi,
I have a 2TBexternal hard drive that is no longer showing as a drive within my computer. I have downloaded "EaseUS data recovery" which is reporting the drive as a "lost drive".
I have started running this software and it is finding files. The problem is that is uses all the memory on my PC and then crashes. I have 16GB of memory installed.
Does anyone know of any other good tools to use. Free tools would be the best option.
Best Regards,
Ross

Thanks for the help. I have not been having much luck getting any data off. I tried connecting the hard drive to the pc but it did not show up. I checked the bios and I could see it but it would not show under the disk management. I will give it another try tomorrow.

That's correct. It's a bit strange. I can see the device in the bios.

Still no joy. Why would it show in the bios and not under the windows disk management. Its strange I can "see it" via the USB connection.
