How To Recover Pictures From Corrupted External Hard Drive

Being a travel writer, I always have to rely on good snapshots to add strength to my adventurous tales

. A story with no pictures won't strike a chord with the readers. As part of my assignment, I went to places like Dubai, Paris, Venice, Switzerland which are considered as favorite for honeymoon couples. I used an external hard drive to save mesmerizing snapshots of these places. After winding up the assignment, I came back to my place as a relieved and happy guy. Next day, when I connected the hard drive to my Windows XP computer, I was greeted with the following error:

File system corrupt and unreadable

To my shock and dismay, all the pictures on my drive became inaccessible. I tried to fix the problem by running 'chkdsk' utility but failed miserably. Since I could not afford to lose a single picture, I madly searched the Internet to know the ways to fix the corrupted hard drive. During my search, I came to know that the only way to fix a hard drive corruption is formatting. Since I could not afford to lose a single picture, I couldn't go ahead with formatting. I again explored the Web to find a solution for my peculiar problem. What I discovered was truly an eye-opener, I found out that storage media corruption is not a big deal and my pictures can be recovered easily by using a picture recovery software after formatting.
