Hi everyone.
A Swedish guy trying to get some help.
I'm completely new to the forum, but since I can't find any answer to my problem anywhere else, I'm giving this a final try with your expertise.
I bought a WD Elements External HDD 2TB couple months ago, which I put alot of files (Pics,Vids etc) in.
I usually had it connected to my laptop, however, the laptop had been gone for 2 weeks for reparation, so I had the WD HDD connected to my new TV (USB). The TV doesn't have any "Safe removal" for USB, so when I removed the USB-cable from the tv and was gonna connect it to my laptop again, the partition was lost.
After I tried a bunch of different softwares trying to recover it, none of them worked. They all found the HDD, but none of them could recover any data.
So I decided to remove the HDD from the case and put it in my regular computer.
After that the computer wouldn't start at first, then at the 3rd attempt, it suddenly did.
The HDD was found in Device manager, now however it said "No Drivers is installed for this device".
SO! This is my problem, does anyone got any suggestion of what I can do? am I completely screwed, or is there a way to recover the data without paying a fortune? (I got a second 2TB in case I could save anything)
Regards Robin.
