Have a look at these three tutorials, and you'll see that at the end of the process you are asked where you want the files recovering to, and that is the only time PhotoRec will write anything to drive, and it will only write to the location you choose. Start with PhotoRec, which unlike it's name suggests, will recover more than photo's, and will not write anything to your iPod at any stage until you choose the recovery location. So I formatted through Recuva when I was prompted to do so and chose NTFS format and I did not notice at first but it only formatted the HDD to a 9.29 GB (out of the 80gb which is it's capacity), I tried Recuva on two different computers and it won't find anything, I was hoping you could please assist me since according to what I read I haven't done anything that would make me lose the files. I had a iPod Classic 80gb 6th gen break down on me and the thing I cared about the most was recovering the music so I bought an adapter to connect the HDD to my computer and therefore try and get back the music, most sites directed me towards Recuva and since I'm a loyal CCleaner user this idea seem most fortunate to me, however when I connected the HDD to my computer and launched Recuva it would ask me to format the drive in order for Recuva to recognize it, I did some searching first and found that it is possible to format and still recover the files as long as I don't try putting anything on the drive because that would overwrite it making me lose my files. Hi there I'm new to this forum so hopefully this is the right place for it.
