Your invitation. Saving data from a removable hard drive is the most cumbersome, arduous and difficult of all the options available to help repair a computer. The above
@ Wen Dingding
The method that say is very correct, I say concrete step and reason in detail.
Ask if you need to format, do not really point is!!
1. Mobile hard disks often have such problems because of insufficient power supply. We all know that the output current of USB 2.0 port is 500mA, but some portable hard drives require more than 500mA, so we will see that some portable hard drives have two ports in order to draw power from the other USB port. Plug and unplug the USB port to try, because sometimes this will be more send, contact is not very good, or switch the position to try. For desktop computers, you can also try plugging the USB port in the back. USB HUB is a number of ports separated from a USB port, and the output current is limited by a USB port can not exceed 500mA, and some front panel USB is the same situation.
2, if the above method is not good, you can try to replace the USB cable, the line is going to have some strange problems. Wires, interfaces, and the connection between interfaces are all potential trouble spots. The line does not have a problem, so can try to change a computer to try, also give such a problem. If you can read it, copy it and send it over the network.
3, if not, you can disassemble the mobile hard disk, remove the disk, and then try a hard disk box, if the other hard disk box is normal, then about the control chip of the mobile hard disk box.
As for using software to recover files, I have not tried much, because I have always believed that the removable hard disk is a kind of unreliable media, the probability of damage is too high, so I have not used as backup media. In addition, the handling method for the occurrence of this situation for portable disc can only be changed to a different USB port or USB of other machines to try, different is, portable disc generally will not give a problem.

This problem is new to me and has been solved "perfectly".
The first thing to say is that for important files, you really need to organize them regularly. Backup work should be done, and useless files should be deleted, so that even if the hard drive does fail, you don't have to panic. After all, hard drive is valuable, data is priceless.
So let's talk about how I solved it.
Recently, I changed an SSD, so I replaced the previous hard disk, and installed a hard disk box, ready to be used as a mobile hard disk. But because of the operation error, the hard disk can not be opened, prompting the need to format to use.
I then tried pretty much everything above, most of which didn't work for me, and finally fixed it using Disk Genius's search for lost partitions. (See below)

After testing, not all partitions can be restored. The software only restored the disk where I saved the files, but not the C drive on the previous hard drive, but that's ok, because the C drive was not needed anyway. I've had dual systems before, and Linux was gone, but it was just for testing, so it didn't matter.

Here I am engaged in the identity of data recovery workers to correct a misunderstanding, using the way below really can prompt formatting disk repair.
The answer is yes, but according to the case, first you need to understand why your hard disk, USB disk and other devices will prompt formatting.
There are many types of prompt formatting.
In the first case, the DBR is lost. In this case, the DBR can be repaired. In general, this situation is not repaired successfully with the following instructions.
The second case, caused by THE loss of MFT, this case can be ordered to repair, but to make sure that the loss of MFT is not very comprehensive, if the loss of a lot of cases, using the following repair will cause the hard disk can be repaired but open will find a lot of missing data.
In the end, it works, but it can either save your data or hurt your data. Don't use this method to restore your important data without the most basic knowledge of data recovery.

A command to solve the problem of inserting a removable hard disk requires formatting
Today the middle of the night to children shoes outfit notebook system, connect oneself mobile hard disk to discover two partition medium however read not to come out, hint needs formatting, and another partition of mobile hard disk is normal. What the hell is that, with hundreds of gigabytes of stuff in it, you just format it? No!


In fact, Windows can solve this problem by using the system's own disk recovery command: "CHKDSK" without formatting partitions.
1. Win+R, enter "CMD" in the run box and press Enter to open the command line program.
Tip: The Win key is the key between Ctrl and Alt


2. If the drive letter that cannot be opened is H, enter "CHKDSK H:/f" and press Enter.
Let's sit and wait for the hard drive to fix itself. (the appended drawings)

1. Plug and plug USB several times for the same computer, especially for double-headed USB to ensure power supply
2. Try changing your computer and OS
3. Try replacing the hard disk box
4. Try data rescue software, such as Final Data, Easy Recovery, etc
5. Determine if a hard drive problem is worth a professional data rescue

If yes, diskGenius is advised to directly view the contents of the hard disk, copy them, and then format them for further use. And sweep for bad roads.

If it is estimated that the hard disk is not damaged, it can be directly inserted into the host and repaired by starting the self-test. I use this method to fix, a little longer to be patient.
