Could you attach it the Hard Disk to a Linux System (maybe also a live system 
like Knoppix if you don’t have one installed) and after attaching send us the 
~last 200 lines of syslog?

tail –n 200 –f /var/log/syslog

and also the output of

lsusb

So we can see if only the filesystem is broken or also the hardware.

Cheers, Chris

Betreff: Re: [LUG] Inquiry On External HDD Recovery

Does the drive appear to the OS? Have you tried using a recovery tool such as 
photorec?

Hi Luggers,

I would like to inquire if there's any of us who can help in the recovery of an 
external HDD (500 GB). If so, how much will it cost and how long will it take 
for the recovery to be successful? All files (.docx, pdf, xls) are corrupted 
(not by ransomware).

Kind Regards,

Timothy Obua
