Windows 10: Lost data

I reset my pc yesterday and it formated the D drive that i had a lot of of important data on. I selected normal reset. Do you have any recomendations for recovering data? Any programs?

:)

 

Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown
I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

Give these troubleshooting steps a try and keep us posted with the results!

LOST DATA ONENOTE

Hi Jeff,





There are a lot of possible factors for this matter. To isolate the issue, I have a couple of questions for you:

• 
  Were there any changes made before the issue occurred?
  
• 
  What activity triggered the issue?
  
• 
  Were there any error messages appear before your device went to repair mode?
  
• 
  What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
  

I recommend that you perform a system restore and see if you can still recover the lost data. To perform a system
restore, follow these steps:

• 
  Go to
  Control Panel.
  
• 
  Change
  View to Small icons.
  
• 
  Choose
  Recovery.
  
• 
  Click on
  Open System Restore.
  
• 
  Choose the restore point to when the issue is not occurring.
  

For more information, check to the article entitled
"Recovery
options in Windows 10" and refer to the instructions under
Restore from a system restore point.



We'll waiting for any updates from you.



Regards.
