Add new Disc error

Thread needs solution

hi, i tried to perform this task, unfortunately the disc i was trying to add had some data which i wanted to keep, so when the task came to the point "click to proceed" i realised by proceeding i would delete the data, so i stopped the operation and closed as there was no option to go back. Now i need to recover the data but when i plug in the usb my pc doesn't find the external drive. I tried device manager but i can't fix it. Is there a way to recover the data within Acronics true home , or is there another way of doing this. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello pearltoothed mogul,

Please accept our apologies for the delays with the response.

The thing is that when you use 'Add New Disk' feature, Acronis True Image will delete all existing partitions from the hard drive you're trying to add. Unfortunately, there's no way to recover the data from such hard drive (of course, if you haven't backed it up).

I may suggest you to have a look to any 3rd-party data recovery utilities.

Thank you.
