I think that we have been being confused by the wrong terminology here since the first post. You have plugged it into a USB port on your computer, the CPU is a chip somewhere inside that computer along with a lot of other chips. A CPU is a computer chip, you can't plug a drive directly into a chip. If it is the kind of NAS device that I suspect that it may be then Recuva will not be able to recover from it, I also don't think that it is a SSD at all, but it's a spinnning disk HDD. However I believe that it may be a NAS (Network Attached Storage) backup device, which would explain the M: designation. I've tried to look up that particular drive, but that designation 'SRD00F1' is not recognised by Seagate, do you have another number, possibly starting with 'STDR'? In other words - who put those files on the drive? how did they get 'lost'? Had they been deleted before the drive was 'donated'? So where these files on the drive when it was 'donated'? 'Donated' is an interesting choice of word, are you a charity and have had the drive given to you? There was a 'Patch' update last month, it shouldn't affect the above but it's still good to have the latest version. There are plenty of articles and instructions on the web about how to do that, so I won't repeat them here. You can prevent USB connected drives going to sleep, either by changing the Power managment in Windows Settings, or changing the USB behaviour in Device Manager, (or both). Presumably your target drive is connected to USB? ![]() If Recuva still says that the target is not ready after you've woken it up then you will have to scan again - but before you do make sure the target won't go back to sleep again. Simply opening File Explorer and opening the drive should wake it up again. stopped spinning because it hasn't been accessed for a while. In either case though you have nothing to lose by trying, other than time.Īs for 'The target drive is not ready' that is usually an indication that the target drive is a HDD that has 'gone to sleep' ie. ![]() If that is why you had to reformat your SSD then you have a better chance of recovering the files. However if the SSD has crashed then it may be possible to recover the undeleted files that were on it. TRIM and Garbage Collect zero out deleted files, (not realy but the effect is similar), so although the filenames may be found the files themselves have probably gone for good. That's simply because of the way that SSDs work. Please help.To begin with - it is (almost) impossible to recover deleted files from a SSD. How can I get to the login screen or at least boot up successfully? I forgot to backup my latest files, and I'd prefer not to lose them. Then I have to upgrade to Windows 7, then Windows 10 - it's a real pain. That means it goes back to Windows Vista and all files will be deleted. Only way is to do a System Recovery, which goes back to original factory condition. ![]() I do not see how I can get to the Windows Safe Mode. And it doesn't get to the Windpows RE display after rebooting several times. Windows does its own update then restart, and it gets only to the Windows logo and gets busy rotating circle indefinitely. Sorry I didn't write down b/c I didn't realize windows won't reboot.Īnyways, I select "Update and Restart" from the Start button. It gives some error and does not start, and it's the same error. I tried to open Firefox, Microsoft Edge, windows, and every app I can think of. When I checked, it did not completely delete the folder. My system somehow got corrupted after CCleaner deleted old windows 7 installation folders (about 11GB).
