Recover Data from External 1TB HDD

rated 0 times [ 3] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 25692 / 1 Year ago, fri, december 30, 2022, 10:19:07

I'm currently running Ubuntu 13.04 and my external hard drive no longer seems to mount. I've tried plugging it into a Windows OS Laptop and it comes up with a corruption error when trying to access the disk.

On Ubuntu I can only view the disk using gparted but again cannot access any data etc.

What is the best method for trying to recover this data? Most of it I have backed up but there are some folders which aren't, so ideally I would like to be able to recover the data.

I would recommend that you don't use the drive, and try TestDisk. Also if you have room on another drive, you can try using dd.

Note: Keep in mind, that when it comes to data recovery nothing is guaranteed. Also it can be a time consuming project, so be patient.
