Free Data Recovery Software Download to Recover Deleted Files - EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Free Edition
2. I was searching for a solution and there several suggestions on other sites to try EASEUS Free data recovery software. So I went to there site to try their free version to determine if it could even read the drive. It could read and recover the raw files but without the file structure. It allow for 2GB recovery. You still would have rename all those files and 500GB of file names was practible. I read in other places you can rebuild the MBR or file table.
I have backup MBR on the drive. I did not go ahead as I read there was perhaps other ways and better data recovery software to rebuild the partition drive.
2. Toshiba didn't have a diagnositc tool to run for their drives. I looked and several sites recommneded running the WD LifeGuard software
3. Yes, I explain up in my other postings on this thread above, at first Windows 7 recognized the drive and assigned it a letter to it. However, when I clicked on it HDD I got a msg do I wish to initialize the drive? I made the mistake in saying YES and they gave me a choice. I chose GPT as I read use GPT for larger drives.

Hi EcoGeek,
Thanks for contacting us.
In your case, the lost MBR or parititions are not recoverable. The lost files can be just recovered with RAW mode. Usually, they will be renamed as File0xxx. For details:
Do Not Miss "More lost files (RAW Files)"
My suggestion is upgrading the free version to full version. Then save all the found files.

I read on here that someone helped rebuild thier HDD file tables using MiniTools, or TestDrive or another program that costt $70. I can't remember. It was a very complicated process. So I did not want to try what they did in another thread on here using those programs and really messed things up.
GRC Spinrite said they could fix HDD if it was not working probably to get it back up and running but not for recovery drive that went RAW or Unallocated.
