Help seeing my tab as a pc drive

[Penfold1]

Hi. I want to see my Galaxy tab as a drive on my laptop so I can search the on board storage and attempt a disc recovery for some deleted files. Is this possible? if I connect my tab to my laptop it just starts charging

No, because the only files you'd see like that are the ones that haven't been deleted. (You're seeing file names in a directory, not the actual files. When you delete a file, all you're really doing is something that's effectively like removing the name from the directory.)

To find deleted files you have to have a program that runs on the hardware that the deleted files are - your tab. None of them are free and the tab would have to be rooted - to search the raw data, the app doing it needs root access.

If the deleted files are on your SD card, you can use PhotoRec - CGSecurity Just mount the SD card in the computer (there are USB adapters if you have no other way) and PhotoRec will find any recoverable files.
