on the verge of hanging it up for awhile so any help would be a blessing..

the unthinkable has happened for the second time in my career. my project files became corrupted. All of them.. hundreds of songs, thousands of samples, and countless hours of work gone.

So my drives files corrupted. The external drive still boots up but all the files within the drive are empty. Does anyone have any clue what's going on or a fix? This is the reason why I have no projects out as this happened before on my Mac (that whole computer died).

I'm on windows now if that makes any difference when troubleshooting. I've also ran virus scans and what not but windows can't acess the drive due to it being in read only.

Thanks in advance and if no use then idk man

Update: Saturday I've gave one more hail mary attempt at restoring the files before sending the disk off to a tech. I've managed to restore a good portion from the disk through the Wondershare platform. Not all of it but a good 70ish % so no major complaints there! I'll still sent the disk to a tech at some point but for now I'll take this as a win. From here I'm working on setting up these backups and auto backup locations.

Thanks again everyone for the suggestions 🫡🤘
