![]() Once reseated at it's stop, the HD worked like a charm.ģ. It wasn't a #6 like he said in the video, so I took the HD with me to get the correct one. I had to go to the Ace's Hardware to buy the wrench since I didn't have a small enough one. If your HD head is stuck like mine was, watch this video: You will need a Torx wrench. Remove HD from unit - This will void the warranty!Ģ. So here's the process I followed using Windows 10:ġ. Don't do that!! By the way, it was the Seagate Central box (I'm sure) that died and hung the hard drive. I was able to recover most of my files (some got destroyed, I'm sure with me trying to bang the hard drive to get it spinning up as was suggested in a video. I used this method and couldn't believe how simple the whole process was. Save some time and just follow these instructions. I didn't fool with Linux or make a bootable USB and as you will read, I was very successful on my first try (after reading blogs such as this and many more). ![]() Why make this more difficult than it already is. So this tells me my info is there, what else can I possibly do to recover the files with their name and structure? ![]() When I try to scan using R-Linux, it stops at around 85-89 Gbįinally, I downloaded testdisk, I tried to do a scan also, but it stopped at 12%, this same solution has an application to recover files called PhotoRec, which I´m running now, and the weirdest, it´s recovering lots of my files, but with generic names, no folder structrue, obviously. , it can´t find the location /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 Sudo fuseext2 -o ro /dev/mapper/vg1-lv1 /mnt/seagate , but the same error apeared "Can´t have a partition outside the disk" when I run the command sudo parted -l, so It never shows the label for the data partition, which in R-Linux shows vg1-lv1, but if I try to run lvscan or lvdisplay I only see the complete hard drive, not the lvm partition, and If I try to mount, using fuseext with the command Well, I´m about to give up, I don´t know if I´m doing something wrong, I installed Linux Mint, using LVM as the partition system, installed fuseext2 tools with the command TRIVIALLY EASY.Įdited by Chromejob, 09 September 2016 - 06:03 PM. Trust me, once we mounted in Linux with fuseext2 it was trivially easy to retrieve the files onto another drive. I copied about half a gigabyte of data off the HDD in an hour or so, everything was intact and in their proper folders. Once it's mounted, it looks like any other drive. If your R-Linux scan shows the partition is without errors, you don't really need to do data recovery as if there are "lost files." It's just that Seagate uses a fudged up flavor of LVG/LVD for this huge partition, and it needs fuseext2 tools in Linux to mount properly. Some will say this is inethical advice, but if you can buy a laptop somewhere that comes with a "factory restore" disk, just install LM on it, install the tools, get your data, then factory wipe the new laptop and take it back for a refund saying, "I can't stand this touchpad." Some balk at this abuse of retail, but. I almost went to Best Buy to buy something cheap to put Ubuntu or Linux Mint (LM) on, but a friend had a spare we could use. I noticed that R-linux for Windows found files, but also reported some bad sectors, so based on other posts I determined to use Linux or bust.
