I just want

    Suggestions on recovering data deleted by Media Creation Tool.

    Hello, I recently installed Media Creation Tool on an 4TB ext. HD in it's own storage space with its own drive letter. After running the installation in that space, all of the other drive letters are gone and stating that the space is 32gb. Has anyone found a secure software that was able to recover drive directories, or is it suggested to do a data recovery on the entire disk?

    Also. Is it not possible to use Media Creation Tool to create a Windows machine on a hard drive with multiple drive letters? I know of Rufus (win), Ethcher (win,unix,linux), and EaseUse.

    Any software suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
