I am now NEVER going to store any data on a single drive NAS. Note - be sure you have enough empty space on the recovery disk so you can slide it over. I started the recovery processa about 30 mins ago and it’s about 75% done already. I tested one small folder by sending it to a Recover folder on my desktop and it worked perfectly! I’m not in the midst of recovering almost 1TB of data into the Recover folder on my W7 machine. This wizard has about 5-6 steps and generally allows you to select a target folder to send all the scrubbed folders to. Drag/drop folders on right into Files to Recover column on left and, when done, click the Export Wizard at bottom. You then have to set up a Recover Folder (easy) which will slide your folders to the right and insert an empty column titled Files to Recover on the left. I muddled around a bit in the /CacheVolume\shares\public and, VOILA, all of my folders in pristine condition. Just install the app and it found my suspect D:/ drive on it’s own. Small search…yep, Debian Linux with EXT5 file system…two things I know ZERO about.ĭownloaded a free application called DiskInternals Linux Reader for Windows which essentially enables you to see all the folders/files on the drives. Unfortunately Explorer doesn’t see the drive but the BIOS and the Device Manager do…concluded that the OS must be a different file system and Windows can’t see it properly. Connected the bare drive to an internal SATA cable and browsed in Windows. Made the decision that the family photos, tax/old email/property/vehicle records and 1TB video collection was worth more than any drive or product use so I tore the case apart and pulled the drive.
