i have a pretty big home NAS and i back it up offsite it sucks to have to consider that part into the costs equation when deciding to get a NAS cuz you don't want to think about it but it truly is part of the cost

Anyone have an Amazon Fire tablet (preferably the 7) and a Spotify account, can you get Alexa to control Spotify? I get a "i can't play from spotify music on that device" response and I don't know if its a setup thing or if its specifically not supported. Googling says probably the latter which sucks, I can ask for my TuneIn radio shows to be played but not my Spotify playlists?

Raluek posted:[*]Buy some new drives to back up everything to. I think the 10TB WD externals are a pretty good value. just ordered these. thank you Raluek posted:[*]Back up two of your *working* drives to new drives, so that anything that happens to them will not destroy the only copy of data. i actually have em already because i was literally going to start doing regular backups tomorrow which is why this situations is all the more insane Raluek posted:[*]Swap the PCBs between the two working drives. Do they still work after? it looks like i only had 2 that were really close to each other in terms of PCB model numbers and stuff. they were still off by a little but the first line of numbers was the same the dead drive began spinning! however, windows did not recognize the drive. i'm guessing this could be due to either there being a BIOS involved (god i hope not) or the model number of the pcb not being 100% identical Raluek posted:[*]If no, we know that they are paired with the drive somehow, or the "identical" drives aren't. If you're feeling adventurous, you could poke around with a voltmeter and compare a bad board to a good one, but be careful. The only time I've attempted to repair a drive PCB I had success, but it was because there was a physically damaged component that was obvious to see, which I replaced from a junk drive. Probably no similarly easy win here. i do have a voltmeter; what exactly should i try checking with it? Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 14:21 on May 11, 2020 |

and yes a lot of it is lunix ISOs and blu-rays i've ripped and music and stuff like that but it doesnt really matter, if it was in a synology and a bad PSU or messed up UPS is what's causing it i would still be in the same mess so thanks for trying to make me feel like a moron when i already do but it wouldnt have changed anything, it's not like i got bitcoin malware and that's why my drives can't be accessed or something the home movie VHS rips are what i need. i can always re-rip Super_Mario_Bros_The_Movie_(1993).mkv

I am trying to fix one of the five dead hard drives. This particular one receives power just fine, but blue screens any windows pc I plug it into. Same for linux I managed to find a dos version of western digital diagnostic tools and it detected the drive just fine. I had it scan the drive for errors and it found none which is great. Also it means this drive won't crash dos. That being said, is there any disk repair utility for dos? I tried chkdsk on my floppy drive but it only discovered the A:, probably because the hard drive is sata. Western Digitals diagnostic utility in dos found the drive just fine Does anyone know of one that I can try? Chumbawumba4ever97 fucked around with this message at 21:48 on May 14, 2020 |

you dont wanna try to repair the filesystem in-place, if the drive is already partly hosed. you're not supposed to do anything that would write data do the bad drive what you wanna do instead is try to make a block-level copy of the drive. in linux you would typically use dd once the data is exfiltrated from the drive, you can try to piece the filesystem back together with utilities

a health checker or whatever isn't a data recovery attempt; don't do that to a failed/failing drive please  data recovery software that saves its info elsewhere is what you want, in a pinch dd's fine, i like ntfs phoenix (when i can't use deepspar, anyway), other people have their own preferred doodads

ok thank you! so is this what i do? 1) use my usb stick with a live boot ubuntu on it and plug it into my POS office computer 2) plug in the 8tb SATA drive that's giving me problems, and a brand new external 8tb drive 3) boot up into ubuntu 4) type some sort of command (dd + a bunch of other stuff i'll probably never figure out on my own) to get it to copy everything from the messed up drive to the new drive ? and when that's done the data on the new drive will only be readable/useful after i do something else as well? if so, what is that?

this is too high stakes for you to be just trying random poo poo. i dunno if that data is recoverable or not. but what i do know is that the situation is stable as long as the drives are unplugged and away from environmental hazards. that means you have time, so take it easy specific dangers: liquids, fire, electric shock, strong magnetic fields, kinetic (being dropped, bashed apart by a hammer, run over by a car, shot thru by a gun, etc) if the drive is blue screening immediately, you're troubleshooting with a multimeter, not a linux live CD if the OS can see the drive, but not mount, you can try to use linux or a file system recovery tool, like people are suggesting either way, avoid writing anything to the bad disk. copy the data off to another disk somehow but if i were you, i would try your recovery process on a good drive first to make sure you know what you are doing first

quit scanning your drive for errors, you obviously know it has a problem. you're gonna make everything unrecoverable.

dd if=/dev/deadharddrivepartition0 of=/dev/goodharddrivepartition0 bs=1M _do not mix up the if and of arguments._ it's a completely silent op so don't expect progress bars or anything. just let it go.
