Please recommend Data Recovery Software (folder structure required)
Hi all,
Brief description on my predicament ...
Two days ago I shutdown my PC and everything was working fine. I then booted into Windows and tried to edit my web sites where Dreamweaver gave out an error which caused me to suddenly realise that one of my hard drives was not present. My Seagate 2TB which included all my music, my documents data.
I went into Disk Management and saw that the 2TB disk was present but it hadn't initiated. I rebooted into Windows with the same issue. I reloaded disk management. Selected the disk where I was prompted to initialise the disk. I selected its previous GPT setting. Upon it appearing in explorer all my files were gone.
Note: My Windows is working fine so I suspect a possible hard drive failure? I'm unsure because both SeaTools and WD Lifeguard pass on SMART. I haven't run the tests though. I checked the power connection and data cable and they are secure. The drive itself is running fine now which puzzles me.
I've currently got Easeus Data Recovery Pro running a deep scan in the background. I can see it is picking up all my files but from what I can see it isn't maintaining the folder structure and I really need this folder structure. I'm contacting their support about this also.
What data recovery software would people recommend for Windows 7 Ultimate x64 which would be able to get the folder structure back?
I really need it because it would take me weeks on end to completely organise all the data myself as it's about 400GB in total that was on this drive.
Thank you for your aid in my situation.
