Since I previewed the recovered files, I have come to realize that Yodot was the right recovery tool for me. The best part was that up until this point I have not purchased the tool. I took advantage of preview option to check whether all the files are recovered or not (with the help of preview option you can open the files and check whether all the files have been recovered without any damage). Post scanning the external storage drive, Yodot will list the recovered files in file type view. At this stage software took its time to complete scanning since it is 500 GB external hard drive. Obviously, I marked all the file extensions and clicked next to initiate the scan process. In the next screen the Yodot Data Recovery Software will ask you to mark the extension file type. Select the drive and click on next to scan the storage drive. This is really helpful to identify the storage drive you want to recover. When you click on any of the listed storage drive, the details of the selected drive will be mentioned at the bottom of the screen. Later, software will list all the storage drives connected to my computer. The next screen had two more options, Partition Recovery and Formatted and Re-formatted recovery. As the functionality of these options also was clearly mentioned, I selected Partition Recovery option. Since the functionality of each option was clearly mentioned I selected Hard Drive Recovery option without any hesitation. On the main screen there were three options File Recovery, Photo Recovery and Hard Drive Recovery. How I Recovered External Hard Drive Data using Yodot Hard Drive Recovery Software Here is how to recover external hard drive data using Yodot software. To my surprise Yodot actually worked, I have successfully recovered over 110GB of data.

Considering his expertise in this field I downloaded the trial version of Yodot hard drive recovery software and started using it.

With no options in front of me, I consulted IT guy from my office and he suggested me Yodot. When I plugged it back the drive became completely inaccessible. It all happened when I accidentally unplugged the drive while creating new partition. From my experience I knew it was due to damaged file system. For example, recently one of my external hard drive became inaccessible.
