Hi there.

As the title says; I recently tried upgrading the HDD in my PS4 Pro to an SSD - I backup up all my data onto a USB drive, installed the SSD, went through initialising process then went ahead and tried to restore all my data & games. Typically after about an hour I got "Cannot read from USB device CE-33299-6", I tried twice.

I plugged the USB drive into a computer, done a surface scan to find some errors, corrected them and tried again. This time I got a corruption error so I decided to reinstall the original HDD and try to backup all my data again then try another restore (since I read you can simply reinstall the original drive) but after I did this it reinitialised and after logging back into PSN with my account it's wiped the original drive! So as of now It seems I have lost my captures and everything!

Is there any way to get these back or are they simply gone??
 
Hi & welcome.
Alas it does appear the captures are lost. Games can be reinstalled but that’s all.
If you have the PS app on your phone you could check to see if any recent captures have been saved.
