Many thanks to
@TheJadeGeek
for recommending a great and powerful rescue tool in Disk Drill. That is something I’m glad to have in my toolkit for the next time something goes wrong, and it did rescue the data, even if I ran into more trouble mounting it later. <3
Disk Drill located the lost partition and restored everything to an SD card. I’ve copied that twice. The most recent backup is 1/19 so I *think* that means everything can be restored to the new Mac on Tuesday.
Today has been horrifically stressful. Disk Drill was worth $90.
I read the negative comments on the web about this product and do not understand it. Competitors? I used Disk Drill and it recovered a massive amount of files from my 2TB drive. Yes! it is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for, it delivers.
Disk Drill I F***ing love you!
Same thing happened to me recently and a program called Disk Drill saved my life. Got all my files back in the same organized folders with the same names.
I purchased some software a few years ago called “Disk Drill” as one of mine had failed. Managed to save all 15yrs worth of images.
Have you tried Disk Drill? That saved my HDD very recently!!
Disk drill has recovered an absolute treasure trove from what I thought was a dead network drive. Possibly the best birthday gift ever to get some of these back 👌🏼
Downloaded a recovery application called Disk Drill and had it scan the usb file. It found thousands of files which were previously undetectable on the in car viewer and home computer.
No bullshit I accidentally delete the partition on my hard drive the other day & lost majority of my music from 2016-2019. Big shout out to the ppl at DiskDrill for HDD recovery!
