    You sure you tried accessing D drive and it prompts you that message? I ask because the screenshot shows drive F.

    If I am remembering correctly, that is what happened to me when I accidentally switched the SATA connections around on two of the three HDD's in my old PC, when I added a second data drive to my system. What I mean is I hooked the SATA 1 connection to my new data HDD and the SATA 2 connection to the old data HDD, when that one was originally hooked up to SATA 1. I don't know if you have switched any cables around, but I thought I would mention it just in case you had.

    I have tried out quite a few diferent data recovery app's, but I personally think EASEUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional is the best one.

    Yeap there are way too many data recovery software out there and when I needed to use one, I don't really know which one to use. Computer users freaks out when they accidentally deleted important data and would definitely pay to get it back. Probably that reason explains why there are so many out there.

    I think a comparison of data recovery software would be great but surely take many hours to complete it.
