Lately I was introduced to iPod by one of my colleague, as the most popular mp3 player now days. Seeing it for the first time I got fascinated with the looks and the quality of the player, which eventually made me to buy my first iPod. It was Apple iPod with 60 GB micro drive, capable enough to play mp3, mp4, AAC/M4A, protected AAC, AIFF, WAV, Audible audio book, and Apple Lossless audio file formats. The iPod photo introduced the ability to display JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, and PNG image file formats.
I had a collection of my favorite music which I used to store on my PC , once I had the iPod I thought it is best to load all the library to get rid of space problems on my notebook. But I think that was a worst decision I took at that time, as the iPod got into some problems and it started behaving abnormal.
When I connected it to my PC, iTunes wasn’t able to syncronise the songs to my iPod, and when I tried to explore the drive contents using Windows explorer, the drive was missing, nor did the Windows diskdmgmt.msc tool was able to show the logical drive, all I had was a 30 GB physical drive which wasn’t formatted.
This situation frightened me of loosing my 10 year old collection, I tried various utilities but most of them even couldn’t find a logical drive or were asking me for a logical drive as an input, those which were able to scan the drive for lost mp3 files resulted in fragmented mp3 files which was useless for me.
Finally, I downloaded the demo version of Disk Doctors digital media recovery. It worked very well and recovered every single byte of my mp3 collection and also recovered some of the mp4’s and lot of jpeg I had stored inside this juke box too.
Disk Doctors music recovery component allowed me to play the files within the demo version of the software, which gave me so much confidence to buy the software from Disk Doctors website, immediately I was emailed an unlock key to unlock the full version and recovery was as smooth as the scanning.
