Find Missing Music Files from External Hard Drive

“Hi there, I connected my external hard disk on to my Windows PC and started to move certain backup music files from this portable drive to system drive. But, during file transfer process the system got shutdown due to sudden power surge. This dismissed the transfer process. After resuming power, I turned on the system to continue the process of file transfer and noticed that the bunch of music files that I was trying to transfer were missing from external hard drive. Can anyone please suggest me a good solution to restore all the missing music files from external hard disk?”

Music is the universal language that people of different region, race, language, country can understand. Listening to music will make a person relaxed and energized easily. Such music files are generally stored on various digital storage devices and gadgets; one such storage media is portable hard drive. Computer users hoard huge number of files including songs on external hard drives and these files can be lost at any moment in the following scenarios:

• Abrupt removal of portable hard drive during any audio file read/ write process
• Using unauthenticated programs on external drive like defrag tool, repartitioning tool, etc.
• Connecting the external hard disk to virus infected or multiple OS computers
• While creating new partition on external hard drive using third party tool
• Running inappropriate antivirus scan will remove entire infected files instead of malware

In these various instances, music files from external hard disk will go missing and thus one might have to face loss of favorite and preserved audio files. However, missing files like music and others can be retrieved back easily with the use of ultimate recovery tool. Nevertheless, one should take precautionary measures to avoid data overwriting on the external hard drive soon after encountering missing of music files on it. This is because missing or deleting any file will not remove it completely from the external hard disk. The process just removes the index pointer of that file in registry and thus making the file invisible to operating system. So, if adding new files on to removable drive is avoided after any songs are missed from it, then recovery of these missing music files is possible./p>
