MYBOOK Call for Help

Hello all,

I was stupid enough to do a Factory Default on my “My Book”

I lost all data.

Is there a way to recover my files?

Please help !!

This post lists some data recovery software http://community.wdc.com/t5/My-Passport-for-PC/Western-Digital-External-Hard-Drive-my-files-lost/td-p/243020 some is free others try and buy. You might get some of it back. If it’s really important and you have the money for professional data recovery then don’t do anything.

You can use Photorec to try ro recover your information. 

I would rather suggest the use of Data rescue III. But then again; this is posted in the Mac section.

If the drive was formatted on a Mac (Even by mistake) then the file system is likely to be HFS+, so you’re down to Disk Warrior, which is NOT free…
