What to do when data on external HDD disappears

7/24 Edited to

... Read more「外付けHDDのデータが消えた!」となった時、私が一番やってよかったのは“触りすぎない”ことでした。USBデータ復旧を自分でやる場合、焦ってコピーや保存を繰り返すと上書きが進んで復元率が落ちることがあります。まずは深呼吸して、次の順番で確認すると失敗しにくいです。 1) 物理的な切り分け(超大事) ・USBポートを変える(前面→背面、USBハブは外す) ・別のケーブルに交換 ・別PCでも認識するか確認 ここで直るなら、HDD本体ではなく接続側の問題のことも多いです。 2) 「見えないだけ」を疑う エクスプローラーで見えない時でも、ディスクの管理(Windowsで「ディスクの管理」と検索)でドライブ文字が付いているか見ます。文字が消えているだけなら、変更/追加で見えることがあります。 3) レポートの内容が消えてしまった(作業データ系)対策 外付けHDDだけでなく、Word/Excel/PowerPointの自動保存が効いていることがあります。 ・Officeなら「ファイル」→「情報」→「ドキュメントの管理(未保存の文書の回復)」 ・OneDrive連携しているならオンライン側の履歴も確認 私もレポートが真っ白になった時、外付けHDDではなくOfficeの自動回復から見つかったことがありました。 4) CHKDSKは“慎重に” OCRにもある通り、CHKDSKは削除ファイルを戻す機能ではなく、ファイルシステムのエラー修復が主です。状況によってはファイルの見え方が変わることもあるので、復元ソフトを試す前に実行するかは悩みどころです。私は「異音なし・読み取りはできる」場合に限り、バックアップを取れるものは先に取ってから検討しました。 5) 復元を試すなら“保存先”に注意 復元ソフトで見つかったファイルを戻す時、復元先を同じ外付けHDDにしないのが鉄則です(上書きの原因になります)。別の内蔵ドライブや別USBメモリに保存してから整理すると安全です。 6) 透明チューブ/ピクチューブが気になる人へ 同じ「チューブ」系でも、PC周りで透明チューブを配線保護(ケーブルスリーブ)に使っている人は、USBケーブルを強く曲げて断線させてしまうケースがあります。見た目はきれいでも、曲げ癖が強いと接触不良→転送エラー→ファイルが消えたように見えることがあるので、配線を一度まっすぐにして再接続も試す価値があります。 最後に:異音(カチカチ/ジー)や認識が頻繁に切れる場合は、無理に通電を続けず、データ優先なら専門業者も検討するのが安心です。
