Did a backup using my SATA to usb, but Files Empty - ∑clipse™ - Aug 25, 2015
I just recently formatted my PC, removed my HDD, used a Sata to usb and plugged my HDD and into my other PC.
I transferred the files, then placed it back into my old PC, formatted my old PC, then went back to get the files, they
were successful, I checked if they sent, they did, I then safely removed, turned it off from the power switch and safely
unplugged the SATA to usb wires.
I then placed my HDD back into my old PC, to only find that it says "Empty" in the folder I backed up. No, unfortunately,
properties also says it's empty thus nothing is hidden.
I then took it out again, placed it in other PC, empty too... I run chkdsk/r and sfc/scannow, fixed few errors but same thing.
I was dumb enough to cut the backup instead of copy... uhh... Any ideas? Would Recuva recover more than 50%? What if
the files were cut and transferred to another PC instead of deleted, would it still recover it using Recuva?
Thanks.

Try Recuva as far you did not overwrite the files you should be able to get some of it back.
