    Data recovery from WDD external after it is converted to Windows 10 bootable USB


    I had 450GB data in my 1TB WD external HDD when i made my external HDD a Windows 10 bootable USB, my all data was vanished and HDD was automatically resized from 931GB to 29GB.


    I have tried to convert my HDD back from bootable to normal but couldn't do it. Then i have it formatted, created partition again.

    Now i am trying to recover data with Ease US Pro data recovery but it is not helping.

    I have been able to recover only windows 10 setup.


    Please help.

    :)

    Multi-bootable USB

    Hey guys from TPU, couldn't find any specific thread pertaining to the question asked on title. As mentioned, I'm trying to create a bootable USB, but with many specifics boots available.

    I've been trying to create one with multiple boot device including one that enables me to run Windows 10 directly on the USB Thumb Drive but to no avail.

    The list of bootable images i'm trying to create are

    1. Windows 10 (A full OS running from thumb drive)
    2. Windows 10 ISO (Bootable disk image for fresh install)
    3. MemTest86+

    Have tried YUMI or UUI from the website USB PenDrive Linux but as this is my first time, i don't know how am i screwing up or am doing it right.. Anyone got a rough idea on a step by step guide? Thanks!
