files for time machine

I'm trying to retrieve files from my external hard drive. My mac suddenly turned off when I was doing a file transfer and now my EHD is not mounting.

I'm using EaseUs data to retrieve my files.

My question is where do I find the files for the time machine? So when I reboot my mac I can have access to time machine and retrieve all my data back.

Thanks.

To recover files from a Time Machine backup, launch Time Machine and on the right hand side, browse to the date you want to restore files from. Select a file:folder and hit the restore button.

This does not answer my question.

I assume your Time Machine backup is on that external drive. Before you can retrieve the files from your Time Machine backup you've got to get the Mac to "see" that hard drive. Here's what I would do when you have access to a Mac:

1. Don't try running the data recovery program right away. I would first launch Disk Utility and determine whether it can "see" the external drive in the list on the left side of the program. If so, select the drive and run Repair Disk. That may be all that is needed to let the Finder "see" the drive.
2. If you can "see" the drive try Launching Time Machine and restoring files that way. How to restore data from Time Machine in Mountain Lion | Macworld The files will be inside a folder probably called something like backups.backups.db.

I'm not familiar enough with the program you mentioned to tell you whether it is worthwhile or not.
