[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1871524, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. Question: Was the Seagate 16 TB drive encrypted? Was encryption software included with it? We ask because generally with that type of drive Seagate includes its own software to lock and unlock the drive. Since the drive is formatted to NTFS you will need to use recovery tools that work with NTFS not something with the Paragon software. There have been other reports of data lost when using Paragon software but generally it's safe to use. However, a 16 GB drive is a different matter. Our advice is not to use the drive at all until you can recover your data. If recovery software doesn't work for you, what you will need to do is send the drive to a recovery service to get your data back. It depends on how important that data is to you whether or not you want to do that. If you decide to use a data recovery service we recommend this one: [URL]https://www.300dollardatarecovery.com/[/URL] They are the most economical and highly recommended.
