cannot find some data on crashed hard drive Closed

Question

Hello, I have a pc that has recently suffered a windows failure. I bought a device that can be connected to the hard drive(a sata) and connected to my lap top so i can recover data, mainly pictures . now i recovered all i could find  which was a considerable amount and then put the hard drive back in the computer to re-instal windows, amazingly windows booted up and i was able to log on to my account where i found almost 4gig worth of photos in a file on the desktop. before i had a chance to copy them windows crashed again, . No matter how hard i search the hard drive of the pc via the usb drive reader i cannot find these photographs or any of the other data on the desk top. ??? I know that the data is there and the photographs are really precious family shots. Any Ideas

I suggest you use a free program called Recuva.  Put your drive back in the adapter and download this program.  It you run a "deep scan" it should recover any picture it can find.

Hi there,

Make the use of a recovery software by which after formatting you can still get your data back,to get it follow this link:
