Accidentally lost all my files from External Hard Drive on Disk Utility
Hi guys, I'll try to be very clear since its my first time asking a question here.
So, I opened Disk Utility and attempted to create a partition on my 1TB Toshiba USB3.0 external hard drive (I thought I could have a separate slot of 100gb). But instead I end up finding out the Hard Drive is empty and changed from OS X (HFS) to MS-DOS (FAT32).
So my question here is, did I just erase all my information? If so, how can I recover it? Or I just created a partition and the other information is hidden (which would be like a miracle)?
It is very important I recover this information. I had almost 900gb from professional to personal files. All my work, personal projects years of my digital life was there.
Please help!
