Does the drive still spin up?

If so, you may want to try some disk management/recovery software. I (very) recently had some very good results with DiskGenius. https://www.diskgenius.com/

In my case, it had to with sorting out partitions created during a data (back-up) recovery. I was having a really hard time with corrupted partition tables (Windows saw an 'empty' drive when in fact everything was there).

I have been pretty lucky, but I do know the feeling when something original is lost. I have (ok, had) four scenes for which the original footage is lost. As all four were shot on the same day I think they were lost either to a camera glitch or my failure to offload the footage. Very unpleasant.

I'm so sorry about what happened to you, I understand the sadness and frustration you must be going through right now. The same thing happened to me a few years ago, my storage unit broke, many of my work and personal files were lost. I would like to help you but as much as I wanted to download your videos, I never did out of respect for you and your material.

The only thing I can do for you, and from personal experience, is to tell you that with time this mishap will pass, you will resign yourself to the loss and you will feel better, you can even see this as a new opportunity to create new content, not only to replace what was lost, but also to make more creative, attractive and satisfying videos for you and your audience. I think many will agree with me and we can even support you in whatever you need.

I downloaded the software Dave and got scared by the technical side of it!

The disk spins and the light comes on (not blinking), sometimes it's recognized and sometimes it's not! Very annoying. I can't take it into a tech expert - the local town isn't big enough

Because of the issues I was having, I used DiskGenius to make an image of the partition in question, and then extracted data from the image.

In any case, the more direct route is to use the 'Recover Files' function (or something to that effect). It will pull files based on file type, but the naming will be rudimentary. You might consider sending it to someone here in the community if all eels fails.
