Last week I purchased a new hard drive for $10, a 500GB Baracuda model. I installed it on my motherboard myself, which worked initially. However, when I began adding my school project files and presentations to the drive, an error appeared: "a device which does not exist was specified." I watched YouTube tutorials but nothing resolved the issue. Can you help me recover my files?

Yes, the files you tried to save are stored in a different location.

They may or may not exist anymore. It’s possible you erased everything. I have no idea which YouTube videos you viewed or what they discussed. The general approach here is to look for a simpler program that works below the Windows level. Swapping SATA connections could help if the issue lies with the HD connector. This one might be unstable if the problem is with the HD cable. You probably discarded a lot of important data on a $10 used HD without any backup. There must be a reason it was priced that way.
