Hi,

A client brought me his PlayStation harddrive hoping I could recover his pictures and files from it. His kid stepped on the PlayStation and made it unusable.

I wasn't thinking to clearly and I thought I could just stick in into an external USB enclosure for harddrives and access the data that way.

However, nothing appears in Windows 11.

Disc manager says the harddrive is unformatted? Did he loose all his data? Or is it in a different format that Windows doesn't recognize?

Obviously, I have never done this before.

So, can anyone enlighten me here?

Thanks,

John
