I was asked to recover lost information from the formatted Bargain Cable external hard drive. My brother formatted his portable hard disk drive by mistake the other day and there are a lot of useful files and folders saved on it at the previous time. So he needs to get those losses back but he did not know what to do. As a result, he asked me for help.
