    How do I recover data from a hard drive that is not recognized as a disk drive


    Hello, I have an issue with my Acer laptop detecting my hard drive. Everything seemed normal up until the external hard drive slipped and fell then started showing in device manager as USB device instead of Generic Power Saving USB Device under disk drive that it normally shows before the incident and it also doesn't show in bios boot menu upon startup. I have tried updating the driver through Windows update, but no available driver is appearing. I also connected it to the extra hard drive cable in my desktop and it's the same issue. Sometimes, when I connect it, it says Disk not initialized
