Recover External Hard drive files

[ccdalamp]

I have a maxtor 6, 80 G hard drive that I use in my external Hard drive case.
When I plug it in to the computer, it shows up under system information but not my computer. I have replaced the 3.5" case and still no resolve. Will the recover my files software be able to scan this drive if the drive letter does not show up under my computer?

I have years worth of pics and about 50G of music on this drive

Please help

Yes, Recover My Files will be able to get your data back.

You should first try running a "Fast Format Recover" search. In the drive selection window you should see your problem drive listed as a "physical drive" (you will be able to tell which one by the size).

If a Fast Format Recover does not work, next try a Complete Format Recover and search ONLY for the default selected file types. At the end of the search it will rebuild the entire partition (including all file types) and display it to you in Folder View of the results screen. Click on the files here to preview them to make sure they have been found. Then you can purchase an activation key to save the files to your C: drive.

Best of luck.
