If you've lost data from an external hard drive, here’s how you can recover it manually and with the help of BLR Data Recovery Tool.
 

Manual Method:

1. Check Recycle Bin: If you accidentally deleted files, first check the Recycle Bin.
    
2. Use Windows File History:
   • Connect the external hard drive.
   • Go to Control Panel > File History.
   • If File History is enabled, you can restore files from previous versions.
      
3. Use CHKDSK Command:
   • Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
   • Type chkdsk X: /f (replace "X" with the drive letter).
   • This checks for and fixes file system errors, which may help recover lost data.
