Windows 10: Recover Data on Not Initialised external HDD

I replaced the the PCB on a Toshiba 1TB External HDD as the USB connection dislodged, paying careful attention to the part details:

https://www.hddzone.com/mq01ubd100-toshiba-pcb-g3448a-p-3446.html.

There is about 300GB of data on the disk and was working perfactley.


Ironic thing is that the disk is my backup disk for photos, docs etc


I have a DELL Latitude E6540 running Windows 10.

• Disk Management lists it as Disk 1 Unknown // Not Initialised // "Device is not ready" after trying to initialise it in both MBR and GBT.
• Device Manager lists in Disk Drives as working properly, Drivers up to date etc. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it.
• Disckpart// list disc as an Administrator in CMD will show it as Online but 0 ZERO bites.
• I have removed and inserted the CMOS battery.

I suspect I have see the "White Gloved" people who will charge me an arm and a leg for data recovery?

Is there anybody in Microsoft land that can assist with an alternative.

Greatly appreciated.

recovering data from a failed hdd

I understand your problem. 1 week ago I also lost all my data from hard drive which was crashed. Then one of my friend suggested me to use Remo Recover tool and seriously it worked for me as a miracle. Now I have all my data. Have a look on it. I hope you will like its features.
