Default Data Recovery

The best thing to do, if you have the skills and equipment, would be to take this hard drive out of the current computer and connect it to another computer as the secondary drive.

The reason I say this, is that it a). Preserves the drive in its current state (if you try fixing it, then it is most likely from a data recovery perspective that things will get worse), b). It greatly reduces the chance of Windows, other programs, or users writing data to it.

I suggest when you run Recover My Files that you perform a Complete Format Recover and search for the default select file types but also add the PaperPort.max file type. At the end of the search look in both File View and Folder View of the search results screen.

Good luck.
