Accidentally lost all my files from external drive in disk utility

Hi guys, I will try to be very clear since its my first time, ask a question here.

Then, I opened the disk utility and attempted to create a partition on my external hard drive 1 TB Toshiba USB3.0 (I thought I might have a separate location of 100 GB). But instead, I end up getting the hard drive is blank and changed to OS X (HFS) in MS-DOS (FAT32) mode.

So my question here, just delete all of my information? If so, how can I get it back? Or just create a partition and the other information are hidden (which would be like a miracle)?

It is very important, I have to retrieve this information. I had close to 900 GB of professionals to the personal files. All my work, years of personal projects of my digital life is here.

Help, please!

This can be a possibility:

I've never used it so I can't give you any recommendation.

Ciao.

  • I lost all my files from my pc

    Dear Sir.

    I cut & copy all my files (50 GB) from my laptop on another pc. then I lost all my files, I tried to restore the last restore point there was a mistake. then I updated my pc & I tried there was point (failback). I tried the restore point manually to the day that I lost all my files. also, I couldn't have my files.

    then I tried to backup my files from the file history, but it was more than 5 hours of operation nothing I had, and then stopped & closed the file history.

    now, what is the best way to get all my files without damage

    Cut & copy is not a safe way to make a transfer.  Obviously you know that now.  If there was no 50 GB you might find something in the trash, but I seriously doubt that you will be able to recover these files.

    One thing I might try is an application named "recuva" which CAN recover some of them, but more recovery is doubtful

  • How to recover lost files from external drive

    We erased all the content on a backup external seagate more desktop drive because we BONE-headedly failed eject the drive, that doesn't not want to clear beforehand.

    What is the best way to recover these files, if there is one. Oh!

    No if you have reused the player and "crushed" of your files. Otherwise, see below:

    General file recovery

    If you stop using the drive it is possible to recover files that have not been overwritten by using the recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, recovering files or TechTool Prodeleted.  Each of the previous ones come on a bootable CD for use without risk to write more data to the disc.  Two free alternatives are disk drill and Cisdem DataRecovery. Recovery software generally provides trial versions which allows you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond that, or if the drive has completely failed, you must send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.

    The hard drive remains the most widely used and the data are recorded, the greater the chance that your deleted files will be overwritten.

    Also, visit The FAQ XLab and read the FAQ on data recovery.

  • Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

    Questions

    1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

    2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

    Background

    Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

    -Start in SafeMode: does not work

    -Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

    -Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

    Disk utility error messages

    Most often, I get this error:

    The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

    Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

    Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

    Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

    I also received this error message once:

    Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

    Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

    Save the files to external hard drive?

    Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

    When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

    I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

    More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

    Thanks in advance.

    First of all, please note that what you were doing was * not * a system restore. System Restore is a * Windows * function restores Windows and has nothing to do with your files.

    What you were doing was the recovery of the system provided by the manufacturer of your computer. That puts shaped windows in car and renstalls hard on it. You probably can't get your files back.

    Allow me to mention something else. Your question indicates that you do not have a regular backup of your important files. If this is the case, you are playing with fire. Even if you never make a system recovery, it is always possible that a hard disk crash, the user error, close to love at first sight, virus attack, even stolen computer, can result in the loss of everything on your drive. As it has often been said, it is not a question of whether you will have a problem, but when.

    You can read this article on the backup that I wrote: 'Return to top your computer regularly and reliable' to http://www.computorcompanion.com/LPMArticle.asp?ID=314
