Have you ever heard about a case where Disk Drill couldn't find the external HD? If my device is already connected the software doesn't identify any of my devices. If I open the softaware before connecting my external HD Disk drill can find my internal one.

How can i recover data from my android phone? Phone disk is not visible in application.

[@cleverfiles]

You can use Disk Drill for Mac to attempt to recover data from an Android phone. Disk Drill for Windows does not have this feature yet. Please mind, that Disk Drill can't be installed on a phone, you need to have a Mac computer. Here's how you recover files from Android devices: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYuqemRoipWKoMk And if you would like to scan your SD card, you need to extract it from the device and scan it on your computer directly.

[@EditecEditor]

I have the Disk Drive app to recover 40 tv programs that I formatted from a Western Digital portable drive. The issue is that I cannot figure out all the data that was tranferred. I really tried to figure it out to no avvail. Your videos do try to help to use Disk Drill to the fullest, but since I am no that computer educated it is fustrating at this point.

You can find options for a Deep and Quick scan when right-clicking on a volume or partition of a drive. Clicking the Search for Lost Data button applies all available scanning methods by default.

To scan your iPhone on Windows, the iTunes software is required for Disk Drill to be able to recognize your device: www.apple.com/itunes/ and it should be installed in the C:\Program files directory. Here's a video guide on how to recover data from iOS devices: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHOwfIeuapihfq8

I recently formatted an sd card on my camera the night after a wedding with many videos and photos, i have used disk drill and paid for the upgraded versions, I removed the sd immediately after formatting (do i did not overwrite the sd) when using disk drill i recovered all the photos plus more that i originally formatted and overwrite, but the videos although the files were recognized as accurate time stamps accurate bit-storage and even thumbnails i could preview disk drill gave me a low recovery chance, more so when i downloaded what was the files and tried to play them in multiple media players, (vlc and prism) none of them played as they had codec issues which i haven’t found to resolve. Do i have a chance in actually getting these very important videos back. ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED 🙏

Hi! When you recover your files, it's extremely important to select a destination different from the location where you lost the file to save the retrieved directory. Otherwise, the files may be overwritten.

Hi. My disk drive has recently failed. Disk Drill has managed to find a lot of files and folders. Let's say I select a folder I want to recover: when I choose the location where I want to save it, the program will only export/recover the files alone, not the folder structure plus the files inside. What am I doing wrong?

Try to uncheck Optimize folder structure when it's possible option in Disk Drill Preferences and recover the folder again. For more information reach us: [e-mail]

Do we need to back up files on the sd card prior to using disk drill? Or is it ok to keep data in sd while using program? I dont want to delete or corrupt any more files. I noticed a batch of images missing off sd card while looking for image a year later.

Backup is recommended in cases when the card is damaged to prevent any possible data loss during the direct scanning and recovery processes. In other cases, you scan the card directly

If my sd card is not detected in my computer after that what can i do bro?

[@cleverfiles]

Try using a different card reader or computer to rule out hardware issues. Check Device Manager to see if the card is recognized and update drivers. You can also try recovery software like Disk Drill if the card is detected but inaccessible. Make sure the card’s write-protect switch isn’t engaged and consider using CHKDSK or formatting the card as a last resort. If all else fails, professional recovery may be necessary.

I don’t know what to do those photos and videos were my youth and my childhood pls if there is a way to help let me know or make a video about it. Ps.
