Hello my old desktop has been having disk checking every start up and I always cancelled it. But not this time. I forgot to cancel and it ran. It took to long to finish so I reset it. When I opened my hard disk on Volume E it cannot be open and it says it needs to reformat which I cancelled. Is it possible to recover anf then fix it while recovering the data of my hard drive? The files there are assets and it is my only back up. Thank you for answering.

    Good Morning diordesu !

    If the partition has lost the read file system, then I suggest 2 options:
    The first would be to remove the HDD and connect to a device with another OS (preferably Linux) and try to access the files.
    The second would be to access the Windows disk manager and recreate the partition.
    Then use some data recovery software to try what you can.

    Hello, Maybe you can try Bitwar Data Recovery to recover the data before reformatting it. I have used Bitwar to recover lost files from formatted SD card. Hope it will also help you.
