I got something similar going on with an old external hard drive. some lacie thing that I need to shimmy open with a knife and ruler, weird partition layout too iirc. no matter as I lost it’s proprietary power cable a long while ago and don’t have a tower to pop it in, obv sata to USB alone is insufficient. probably overlooking a dumb way to access stuff on it outside just buying a cable or an old rear end tower from surplus

If it's your only copy of 8 terabytes of irreplaceable data, why are you taking the hard drive apart

anthonypants posted:your question is, "i have a disk in an external enclosure and the manufacturer of this enclosure messed with the partition table so the disk won't work outside of the enclosure. how do i fix, while also preserving all of my data on the disk?" what is computering if not hacking apart poo poo and bending it to our will? i just thought somebody might have had a workaround for this because i’ve long since forgotten how partitions work, sorry for being an idiot

rather than zeroing out the whole drive, worth giving diskpart clean a shot also dont buy seagate lol. if you're looking for a cheap 8tb, buy an 8tb wd easystore on sale at best buy (sometimes they go down to like $130) and shuck it. easystores is drives with reds inside. theres a little bit of partition fuckery going on there as usual, but diskpart clean took care of it. ive bought 6 of these fuckers so far and each has been a red, lol. apparently some of the newer ones are white label drives rather than reds (read link) but you can figure out which is which by looking at the box, if the minute differences matter to you.

KOTEX GOD OF BLOOD posted:rather than zeroing out the whole drive, worth giving diskpart clean a shot are reds good now? my experience has been that a red is just a somehow ruggedized green, and ive had above-average failure rates with both greens and reds. but this experience is like 5 years old now so idk if there have been improvements made since then

could be wrong but my understanding is that these 8tbs in particular are just relabeled helium HGST drives. i know the 6tb reds had a high failure rate but i think these are supposed to be better

i got a friend that overwrote an external drive with the win10 USB installer. is there any way to recover anything? im guessing this is a hard no unless they want to spend $$$ at some data recovery service

if you just need a place to put some TB while you reformat it, stick it on backblaze or aws for a few dollars, assuming you have an ok internet speed and can wait a day or two for uploads. then if you really gently caress something up you've got an emergency backup

burn a linux live usb, plug a drive in and see what's wrong. start with fsck then testdisk then ddrescue. the last one needs another hard drive and be aware that it could spit out a billion randomly named files

raid 1 is "mirrored" so the drives are identical, google says you still need to assemble the raid in a degraded state with something like 'mdadm --assemble --readonly /dev/md0 /dev/xxx'. that's also assuming it's a mdadm raid and not some special sauce.

It is a windows computer and an NTFS drive. i believe they fatfingered their backup drive instead of a usb stick when creating a win10 install usb install thing. ive used hiren's thing before for stuff i think but had forgotten about it.

updated on my data recovery efforts: recuva didnt do poo poo DiskDigger from hiren's was able to get everything off but i ended up having to pay $15 for it since i didnt have time to gently caress around downloading the bootcd. Also just an FYI it takes like 5 hours to scan a 1TB harddrive.
