“Hi, I have a 1TB Seagate external hard drive, used for my Windows PC backup. Today, I plug it into my new Mac computer and try to set it for the Time Machine backup drive. It asks me to erase it so it could be used on my Mac. So, I erase my Seagate external hard drive using Disk Utility. After that, I realize some of my documents which are very important to me are stored on the Seagate external hard drive and they have been erased. Is there any method to get my lost documents back?” - Jill
