"Most local computer repair companies should be able to retrieve your data in the event of a corrupt external hard-drive. If you have a Geek Squad in your town, they do good work.

Yes, you can. If the external hard drive is formatted using the FAT32 or NTFS file system then you can read it in any windows computer. If you have it formatted as one of the Linux file systems (EXT2, EXT3, JFS, etc.) then just pop in an Ubuntu Live CD into the computer that you want to retrieve the data with and copy it off.

To recover files from an inaccessible WD My Passport external hard drive, first try connecting it to a different USB port or computer to rule out connection issues. If it's still inaccessible, use data recovery software like Recuva or EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to scan the drive for lost files. If the drive is physically damaged, consider seeking professional data recovery services. Always ensure your important data is backed up regularly to prevent such situations.

The external hard drive's controller may have failed. If the warranty is out or of no concern, and you are technically capable, you might try to open the device and remove the drive. Install the drive in a computer or use an external docking station or adapter, and you may be able to access the drive. If this does not work, many software utilities exist as well as services that will open the drive in a clean room and attempt to recover the data.
If the files were saved on the external memory (or mass memory) of the Android phone, then the answer is YES and chances of recovery can be 100% as long as the data contained in the files are not overwritten or damaged.
To retrieve deleted data encryption software, first check your computer's Recycle Bin or Trash, as you may be able to restore it directly from there. If it’s not available, consider using data recovery software, which can scan your hard drive for deleted files and potentially recover them. Additionally, if you have a recent backup (such as from a cloud service or an external drive), you can restore the software from that backup. Always ensure you have backups in place to prevent future data loss.
