Hi, I really hope somebody can help. All I wanted to do was transfer a secondary hard drive from an old PC to my Windows 8 PC. Something I have done in XP many times with no data loss.
I connected up hard drive and started window 8 , Drive did not appear in file explorer, and in my messing around i found the hard drive in device manager and somehow set it up as a storage space. Hooray a drive letter appeared in file explorer but all the existing data on the drive was lost. (There were bucketloads of family photos).
I have tried recuva and easeUS data recovery to no success. Please if anyone could help and yes i know a backup would have been the best option, but in my haste and having done this before didnt think it would be a problem.
Thanks in advance
