I somehow got my PC infected with HDDCryptor virus…. The Locky story repeats itself all over again! Good thing i got at least some of my important documents saved on usb. Now, my question is, how do I prepare my PC for data recovery? How do I remove HDDCryptor so that it won’t lock my future files?

We are sorry you have to deal with such an unpleasant experience. Luckily, you have your data stored on an external storage drive and, as we understand, it is so far untouched by the HDDCryptor. What we must warn you, though. DO NOT try to plug in this device into your computer while the virus is still on it. First, you have to remove HDDCryptor and all of its constituent parts from your PC and only then you can attempt data recovery. You can do that with trusted antivirus utilities, such as FortectIntego.
We have received complaints that the virus blocks the antivirus software from running the scan and removing the malicious components from the infected computer. If this happens to you too, do not panic. You will find the virus decontamination instructions right below this article: HDDCryptor ransomware virus. How to Remove?. When you are sure the virus is gone, you can then plug in your storage drive to the computer and recover your data.
Best of luck
