Hello again. Thanks to all that answered and excuse the late reply. Didn't get too much time to look into this lately.
@jcb994 - I don't have that many programs running in notification area. But the ones that start automatically and that I don't need on a permanent basis ie : adobe updates and...
Thanks for your reply VirtualLarry.
I didn't think about installing an SSD, that's certainly a good idea!
As for re-installing Windows I guess it would do some good, but would this be that much better than manually removing superfluous software?
I pretty much already got rid of anything...
Hi,
So I have this Dell latitude 5580 on Windows 10 for almost 2 years and have been experimenting some serious issues with the computer's speed for as long as I can remember.
I have no malware as far as I can tell and I run scans daily with Malware Bytes. I also have plenty of free disk space...
That may be possible. However the drive is not so old, about 2 years. Also, I haven't experienced any freezing, which kept happening the one time I had a hard drive go bad.
It also seems like the deleting stopped after a reboot of the computer. Pretty strange stuff...
Hi
So my Win 7 laptop has been behaving weirdly. I first noticed music files disappearing from a folder on my desktop. Then other files from other desktop folders and finally, one folder in it's entirety is gone. I also noticed in "my computer" that the free space of my C: drive kept...
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll give it a try. It says that the pro version is more suited to raw file system recovery though. Anyways, I'll see how well it performs.
Might just be obligated to buy Easeus or Minitool powerdata recovery though. For those experimented with those programs, should...
Hello,
So I have this Seagate 3TB Backup plus drive which has gone corrupt because I accidentally disconnected the usb cable while I was copying files over it. Computer management shows the data on it as "raw"
I made a thread on here some time ago concerning this..
However, instead of trying...
Just bought a new HD. Gonna try to copy everything to it with testdisk. Once that's done I'll do some tests on the old HD to see what may work. Anyways, thanks all, will update when recovery is over.
Windows screenshots, sorry if it's in damn french :P
Partition wizard scan, note that the disks are labeled differently that in Windows disk managing, that's a bit confusing. The problematic HD is disk 2 here.
Testdisk scan :
Yeah, I'd clone it. Problem is that I don't have an other drive big enough to do that uh. Might have to get one :p
As for FAT partition, well on the seagate site, it says the drive should be formated NTFS out of the box. Weird because testdisks and partition wizard scans revealed a partition...
One more thing : I thought about re-writting the partition in testdisk for FAT 16 > 32, the one which is apparently unrecoverable. I I think this is why the disk doesn't work properly. Now I am pretty much a noob at this stuff and I am just guessing. Would this be correct?
Thanks to all for your answers. Couldn't work on this too much lately but now I am back at it and tried a bunch of things.
Here are some details
- Device manager will sometimes list the disk in unknown devices and at other times it is listed under disk drives with it's model name. Right now it...
Hello again all. Thanks for your helpful answers.
Property ---> Tools doesn't work unfortunately. Says "the verification could not be executed because Windows doesn't have access to the disk"
I began a Partition wizard search for lost/deleted partitions (still running, takes forever!) and it...
Yes there is data on this drive, I was half way through backing it up when I accidentally stumbled on the USB cable and it got deconnected.
Connecting it on an other comp does the same thing. It shows a drive that's inaccessible. with 0 out of 0 space.
The message I get when I try to open it...
Hi,
So I have this Seagate backup plus external hard drive. It got disconnected by accident and wouldn't show up at all in My Computer after that. The lights are working, the disk is spinning and seems functional.
I looked for a solution on the web and noticed that it was showing up as...
