u/PhlerpDesigns

My external hard drive with all of my digital art and design for over the last 13 years wont read on any computer and I unfortunately didnt back it up elsewhere. My computer can see there is a drive but it says not initialized. I have tried disk drill and easeus data recovery, but neither program can see the drive to recover files.

Also I am on Windows 11 PC and the drive is a WD passport 2tb drive

I am curious if anyone can recommend anything else or if you can recommend a place to send it out to? Anything is helpful, I have developed quite a mental block around this problem and it would be great to work through and get this problem solved or to move on.

Thanks so much!

I am curious if any artists can recommend a camera for capturing their process of drawing or painting. Maybe something like a GoPro but cheaper. I often use my phone for time lapse but I'd like to have access to my phone and also other cameras for different angles and such. I'd also like a camera I could just set somewhere and record for extended periods, such as for outdoor murals and such. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated, thanks!
