We have an old printer we are throwing out, but we need to see what data was there before we decide on the method to discard the drive.
We want to avoid sending it to a data recovery shop to reduce costs.
The printer is a toshiba e-studio 3540c
The drive doesn't show up on the Disk Management for windows But it appears under your naming scheme on the Windows Explorer. We tried using a dock to connect to the hard drive, but all we got was Access Denied Message
We looked at tools like rapidspar, but we are still determining if that could help us.
What other tools could we use to get the data off the hard drive?
- The Hard-drive is 2.5 HDD, not damaged or have issues we know of
- Came out of a working printer
- We are using a windows computer to access the drive
