Hello All,
I seem to have encountered a strange problem with my external hdd (Transcend Storejet 1.5TB).
For some reason the volume label changed to the label of another external hdd (same type).
That's not really a problem but a large number of folders and files disappeared.
I've tried running Testdisk, but it doesn't seem to locate the old folders, only the ones that are still visible.
Also, when I tried to enter a folder from the root, I had to use administator rights to get permission to enter the folder.
Another annoying thing is the constant reminder the recycle bin on S:\ is corrupted.
I'm running Windows 8 Pro 64-bit. Been using both external hdd without any problems the last 3-4 months.
Not sure what I did wrong, I'm usually very careful not to disconnect them without checking for data transfer or anything.
Any ideas on how I could recover the lost folders/files?
Thanks for your help!
