"Hi!! Yesterday, I had connected my LG external hard disk to one of my friend’s system, but that time I was unaware that the system was completely infected by viruses. Later on my hard drive failed to get detected by any system. I am badly worried about the documents and other stuff in the drive. Can anyone give an idea on how to restore data from unrecognized external hard drive?"
