I'm not sure what happened, but when I updated my BIOS and booted into Windows, part of SSD#0 is gone. Not just deleted, but turned into unallocated space. It's a Kingston SV300 240gb SSD, split into a 50gb Windows partition (this was unaffected) and the remainder for a partition for a few but nevertheless extremely important data. I got a new HDD today to act as a backup, but as luck would have it, before I could install it and make duplicates of my important files, this happened.
The partition is now unallocated space. I know the folder names, but not specific file names. I need to recover these folders with some urgency. I've tried Recuva but it can't seem to target specific directories, only files of a given name or type. Additionally, Recuva can't scan unallocated space.
What can I do? I haven't done anything to the unallocated space: haven't created a new volume or anything.
Some things I know:
- TRIM is enabled
- I know the folder names
- Partition letter was M:\
- rough idea of total size of files deleted (<20gb)
