Hello,

I have a 1TB external hard drive connected to my Dell Windows 10 laptop.
I have about 400 GB of data stored on this hard drive. Until recently, the hard drive worked fine, but now I am getting a message from Windows that the hard drive must be formatted before it can be used. I do not want to lose all of my data, so I ran the third party app: Find and Mount to try and retrieve my data, but after doing a thorough scan, it reported that no visible partitions were found. I am not having this problem with my 2 other external hard drives. Is there any way that I can retrieve my data before formatting the hard drive?

Thank you
