Corrupted hard drive with ALL my pictures over the last 2 years
Main Post:
I'm so lost I don't know what to do. My external hard drive, which I kept all my pictures from my camera on from the past 2 years (over 12k pictures), seemingly out of nowhere became corrupted after using LRC. I can't start my PC with my hard drive plugged in, and used two different other PCs and a laptop to confirm there's something wrong with my hard drive. When I plug it in after the PC is on, it sees the hard drive but as soon as I open it, it says "x" drive is not accessible, on all three PCs. I need these pictures back as they mean everything to me. I can feel the hard drive physically spinning and the light that indicates it's plugged in is on. I desperately need help, please. I'm in Maryland for what it's worth.
Top Comment: And no backups on other drives, in the cloud, on cards, anywhere? seemingly out of nowhere became corrupted That's how it always happens. It works until it doesn't. Hard drives will always fail. You need to stop booting it up and send it off to a recovery service. I did this in 2002, when something similar happened. I never went without a backup again!
