Quite an Urgent problem, please help

[BlackUnicorn]

Heya. I'll try to make it short -
So i have 2 hard drives, 1 external (i'll call it F:/) and 1 Internal, which was divided into about 100G (C:/) and ~500G (D:/).

I needed F:/ for helping my mom with her computer, and in the middle it stopped working (said it needs to be formatted, and gave the same error on 2 different computers). All my backup was on the hard drive.
Stupidly, i've downloaded a partition program (stupid stupid stupid.. such a thing never happened to me! i swear!), pressed the wrong button cuz i was so tired, and boom -
my entire D:/ was gone.

I downloaded RMF as an advice, and it recovered it all (i think)! I'm so happy.
Problem is - where do i save it to?? my F:/ needs recovery as well, and i need more space than i have on C:/. D:/ just doesn't exist, of course.

I'm thinking of buying another internal Hard drive tomorrow, cuz i need the extra space anyhow. Will it ruin the recovery process if i install a new hard drive?
It there a way to recover the entire D:/ so the computer actually recognizes it, instead of finding place to copy it to?

Thanks!

Hi,

Another drive is the answer. Usually a USB is most flexible for this purpose - just plug it in and you instantly have another drive to save to.

Recover My Files is designed as a 'drive recovery' tool, not a 'drive repair tool'.

You can find 'drive repair tools' but be careful, because they write to the original drive and if they do not work can make things much worse and data recovery more difficult.

Good luck.
