    Data Recovery

    Hi, I have a external 500 gig hard drive, that 35 gigs of data on is not accessible. The drive only shows the capacity of 465 gigs. 35 gigs not showing available. I have tries my Data Rescue 3 recovery disk. It only checks the 465 gigs for data. which there is nothing there. All data is in the 35 gig portion not showing. I there another better rescue software or do I need some one to hack into it?
    Thanks

      I assume this thread is a joke.. That loss in accessible drive size is just due to HDD formatting.

          You need software called Stellar Phoenix to recover all your lost data.

                Congrats, you've discovered the openly known scam of the storage industry.

                If you buy memory, a gig is 2 to the power of 30, or 1,073,741,824 bytes.

                But if you buy a hard drive, a gig is considered to be only 1,000,000,000 bytes.

                Your OS is probably reporting space based on the first definition of a gig, but your drive's actual manufactured capacity is the second.

                500,000,000,000 "drive bytes" divided by 1,073,741,824 "real bytes" is 465.7
