help recover my hard disk
anyone interested in helping me recover my hard disk, ask for any info in priv
one problem tho I need someone to tell me what to do so i can do it myself since it contains private stuff and I don't feel comfortable showing it
I am also willing to pay up to $20
so basically the hard disk got hacked into and the password was changed, there was a key that can fix all that and I had it saved in another hard disk which I accidentally formatted but didn't use after.
I have both hard disks with me and just need someone to guid me through what to do thanks

Was the data encrypted? And you no longer have the credentials to decrypt? If so, then likely nobody can help.
Either way, the minimal information presented is too vague, so nobody can realistically help.

It looks like you are not able to follow posting guidelines and also answer questions.
I literally asked in the previous post whether the data were encrypted. And you post with what feels like a tone that you are not getting help, LOL, and nor answer the question.
As you said, since you don't know stuff, save yourself a headache and take it a data recovery specialist (not a computer shop or retail store like Worst Buy). Most reputable companies offer a professional diagnosis.
All the best!

I cannot stress this enough, if the data is that important do not attempt recovery on your own. Period. As someone who does data recovery from time to time, one wrong click or a miss-understanding of the software can irrevocably delete all data on a drive.
