Windows 10: No drive H after restore. Need help!

Did a restore with a W10 repair disk using a previous restore file.
The H drive (1tb) is now blank. Can read and write to it but all previous data is missing.
Is there any way to restore this data?

Followed direction on W10 repair disk. Used a previously used restore file that worked fine.

How do I recover with the my USB system image?

Having created a system image onto my USB Flash Drive, I can't figure out how to get the restore system to recognize it.

How I created my USB Flash drive "backup system image" by formatting the USB drive into NTFS format. Then right click the USB H: drive to Properties to click on Sharing tab. Checked the Share box. Clicked on "Advanced Sharing". Permissions; set to Allow on
Full Control, Clicked on Apply, then OK, then OK again. This made the USB drive accessible as a network drive by using the share path \\example\h

for the the system image to copy to.

From the Windows 10 Control Panel\ Click Backup and restore (Windows 7)

Noting; Microsoft has Windows 10 using Backup and restore (Windows 7) for system backups.

At the bottom under Restore, click-on Select another backup to restore files
opens Restore Files (Advanced), Click-on the Browse network location and type in the USB shared path; \\example\h. This was the path for the image USB I made.

I keep getting this error message; The network location cannot be read Details; The network name cannot be found. (0x80070043)

NOTE: I can't explain why the USB system image I created had drive letter \h but when I plug it in it for the restore it reads as USB Drive (E

PROBLEM; is the latest image was on the USB Drive. I have others on Hard Drive D: and network TB Drive. The USB I made as an additional backup to test out if a USB Drive system image could be done. If anyone knows more about how to fix this, please post

VOLUME SHADOW LIES...

Until such point that "Create Volume Images" CLEARLY STATES.... ALL NEW DEVICES WITH-OUT A CD ROM... CREATING A VOLUME SHADOW IMAGE IS BOTH A WASTE OF HARD-DRIVE SPACE AND THE TIME TO CREATE... AS MICROSOFT REFUSES TO CREATE A RESCUE DISK ON A USB DRIVE...
Microsoft is simply lying to it's consumers... W*H*Y*???
Restore Shadow Image CLEARLY STATES... "WINDOWS NEEDS TO FORMAT "C" PARTITON"... AND DISKPART DOES THIS... B*U*T* NOT ACCEPTABLE.... W*H*Y* N*O*T*???, MORE LIES???-Bitchesse

 

Hi, searching the forum suggests this:

However you may prefer to try to use data recovery software first to see if you can save files to another disk, as the least destructive possible action.

Note: in writing anything to it at this point you are potentially overwriting your own data.

 

Any suggestions on data recovery software to use?

 

You could start with Recuva. I think there's a tool on Kyhi's boot disk at the top of the Software and Apps section in this forum.

Five Best Free Data Recovery Tools

And there are plenty of commercial ones, often given away. Free trials of those often scan but don't recover (much).

It might be more interesting to try data recovery from a boot disk, as this avoids any peculiarity Windows has in viewing your disk.
