A local computer repair facility should be able to help, if only to identify the problem.

Hi all, first, it started when the usb started to get wobbly, I am wondering if the connection inside the external hard-drive has jiggered, as I have tried to connect a different usb, but it doesn't work, I cannot use the recovery snappychappy as I put the RAW photo's straight onto the external drive not the computer.I dont have a power up plug Matt. At least I cannot find one. I have bought the esata leads with usb, but it didn't work.I don't think the freeze methods is going to work Jon if the inside of the usb is jiggered. I did open it up, but couldn't find anyway to connect to computer, I have done a lot of work on computers in updating them, but this I do not know how to recover. I may have to resign that I have lost everything and start again from scratch.
Thanks everyone for your comments though.I will keep the external hard-drive though, just in case something comes up and I can recover my photo's. Because some of the photo's are which I have won on competitions, and would have like to have kept the original's.
regards susan

Have you tried it on another PC?

Has the external drive suffered any unusual trauma, like being dropped or overheated?
If yes, it's probably physically damaged and your data is most likely unrecoverable.

You may need to contact the manufacturer here.

Tip for the future:- Always keep two copies of your images. If you need to make space on your PC, uninstall any software/applications that can easily be reinstalled rather than delete irreplaceable images.

Tip for the future 2:- Buy more memory cards.
Usb also dc 5v for a power point, although I do not have a power plug for it. Usually use the usb, it had been playing up, the usb I mean, it was bending when you attached it to the hardrive. I have tried it on another computer and it still doesn't work,afraid my laptop was old and didn't have any space for extra's like photo's. Have another computer now which I can save on it as well as save onto another hardrive which I going to buy today. Never thought about an external drive going wonky.Thanks the website, will look at it better when I come home later, have to go out now.

Help. I had backed up my RAW photo's on an external hardrive Oyen Digital usb, because I did not have much room on my laptop. Now however, something gone wrong, and I cannot access the hardrive, think something must be jiggered inside, thought it was the usb, so bought an esata as the hardrive has one and tried this, but no go, although I do not have an esata on computer, so I bought a usb/esata lead to connect between the computer and the external hardrive. But no go again. Anyway can anyone help me retrieve my photo's please. Thanks

regards susan

Susan that was not what I meant, they sell these variable ND filters, the one in my link goes from 9 to 12 stops. It's a totally different product and they don't supply square format filters I believe.

You can try Hi-tech, not so high-quality as Lee but still good. link
density 3 is 10 stops so the same as Lee big stopper
Hi, I was looking for a square 10 stop filter as I already have a B&W screw on ND110, but I find it very difficult screwing it on and off.

Hi - B and H is bhphotovideo in Manhattan. I think they're possibly the biggest photography shop in the world, and they do ship to UK. What is also good is that they will include customs fee in their pricing so you know exactly what you will pay and don't have to wait for customs assessment when it arrives in the UK.

Amazon.com (as opposed to dot uk) may also be worth a look.

Hope this helps,

Jon
Hi. Found the B&H, but they have it but are out of stock as well, and amazon doesn't have one yet.
