Discussion1: Nice post! Last time, my Verbatim external hard drive also got the same drive unformatted error for instant power loss, the computer was suddenly shut down and booted functionally again when the power was back. However, the attached drive seemed to be damaged and didn’t allow me to access anything there without format. It was really frustrating. But, fortunately, I had got great helps from many posted data recovery programs and rescued most of drive information back. This software really worked well on my drive.
Discussion2: When trying to rescue my information from USB flash drive that asks to format, I have used many such data recovery tools. With luck, I have taken nearly all my drive songs, files and games back.
Discussion3: Last month, without knowing much about data recovery technologies, I kept on using my formatted PNY portable drive and finally only got part of my original drive contents back. So, if you do encounter such data loss issues, always remember not to place anything new on the same drive to avoid data overwriting.
