My computer says “Hard Drive Not Installed” and doesn’t detect my drive. Has anyone else had this happen? Any simple fixes would be great.
Thanks!
I accidentally deleted important videos from my Android phone. They’re not in the gallery trash. Is there any way to get them back? Please help!
I’m seeing an error that says “Unable to determine volume version and state” and now I can’t access my drive. I’m really worried about my data.
Has anyone run into this before? What’s the best way to fix it and recover files?
Thanks for any advice!
I keep getting an error with ftdibus.sys that’s stopping Memory Integrity from turning on. Has anyone dealt with this? Any simple fixes or tips would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Totally possible..and honestly, you’re right to avoid rooting. It’s not worth the risk just for data recovery. Rooting can mess up your system, void warranties, or even brick your phone if not done properly.
If you haven’t backed up your chats to Google Drive recently, try an android data recovery. They work without rooting and can recover various deleted whatsapp data.
Also, check your phone’s Recycle Bin or Google Drive first, just in case they’re still there.
Main thing: stop using the phone for new downloads/apps until you try recovery — or else the deleted data might get overwritten.
Is it possible to recover deleted WhatsApp chats and photos from my Android without rooting it? I really don’t want to mess with rooting because I’ve heard it’s risky
When I turn on my Windows 11 PC, I get this message:
“Your PIN is no longer available due to a change to the security settings on this device.”
I can’t log in or reset the PIN. I didn’t change any settings. I use a local account.
Tried restarting, Safe Mode, and resetting the PIN—nothing works.
Any simple fix for this without resetting the whole PC?
Thanks.
Ah, the classic SD card drama- deleting everything and still being told it’s full. It’s like cleaning your fridge and the smell’s still there.
Turns out, your SD card is probably hoarding files in hidden folders like a digital squirrel. Or the file system’s just confused. This dude has given the right solution I guess.
Do let us know your experience.
Check your File Manager or Files by Google app (sometimes there’s a Trash/Recycle Bin where deleted files hang around for a few days). If it’s still there, just hit “Restore.”
If not, try checking Google Drive trash if they were ever synced.
If you still come up empty, you’ll probably need a android data recovery software. They have the ability to scan your phone for deleted files, including PDFs. Just install it on a PC, plug in your phone, and run a scan. It’ll show you what can still be recovered.
Just don’t use your phone too much till then (new stuff generally overwrites the deleted files)
Last year I also faced such issue. My SD card was behaving poor and I was so irritated. I formatted the card and it fixed all my issues.
I was advised by my professor to always eject the SD card properly.
Hi Simon,
Photos disappearing from an SD card can result from file system corruption, virus attacks, hidden files, or accidental deletion. In many cases, the data is still present, but the file directory becomes unreadable. Do not format the card or add new files, as this can overwrite recoverable data.
Instead, connect the card to a computer and enable “Show hidden files” to check if the images are still there. If not, use trusted recovery software to scan the card. These tools can often retrieve lost photos without formatting.
All my photos have suddenly disappeared from my SD card even though I didn’t delete anything. What could have caused this, and is there a way to recover the missing images without formatting the card?
Help! I deleted a bunch of PDF files on my Android by mistake, and I can’t find them anywhere. They’re not in Google Drive or Downloads. Is there any way to get them back?
If you wish to delete the files from your SD card, formatting is always a great option. Try to format the SD card using the CMD.
Type diskpart and press Enter. Next, run these commands one by one:
list disk – identify your SD card by its size.
select disk X – replace X with your SD card’s number.
clean – erases all data.
create partition primary
format fs=fat32 quick – or use exfat for larger cards.
assign – gives it a drive letter.
Here are few things you can try:
First, double-check Google Photos, Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive if you had any sync or backup turned on. These cloud apps usually keep deleted stuff for 30–60 days.
If there’s no backup and nothing in the trash, then your best shot is using an android data recovery software. It works without rooting and can recover deleted videos, even from internal storage or SD cards.
Just make sure you don’t add any new files or apps on your phone until recovery — or your deleted data might get overwritten.
