#How to use seagate backup plus forum plus

I have a 8 TB Seagate Backup Plus that seemed to have the same issue.

Geometry from i386 MBR: head=255 sector=63 It would be 'PhysicalDrive3' in the below output: Running qPhotoRec on the drive created a log file ~360MB, which was mainly 'file_win32_pread(276,897,buffer,4612(0/73/14)) read err: read after end of file':

Also thanks for taking time to reply, greatly appreciated.īy attaching via the USB caddy again, I did manage to get windows to see the disk although CrystalDisk was unable to report any information. Many thanks for the advice, I'll be sure to try that as soon as I can. Is the disk too far damaged to be read at this point? I was initially surprised to have recovered/be able to read so much data, so I assume it's still roughly in tact on the disk, although connectivity seems to be the current issue.

Partition search fails to find any partion, as does the deeper search it creates a very large (~2GB) log file, with most of the lines reading 'Readfile The specified network resource or device is no longer available):ĭisk /dev/sdd - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 121601 255 63, sector size=512 - ST1000LM 024 HN-M101M, S/N:2SPT9JCD465410, FW:2AR1ĭisk /dev/sdd - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - ST1000LM 024 HN-M101MĪnalyse Disk /dev/sdd - 1000 GB / 931 GiB - CHS 121601 255 63 With the disk in the caddy, the USB connection will be lost from time to time while attempting to run chkdsk/TestDisk, so I've now connected it straight to the motherboard with a SATA cable. I can't currenly attach/scan the disk with CrystalDisk. At this point I turned to TestDisk the drive no longer shows up in Windows (although occasionally it will), although it can be seen by TestDisk/Photorec. This was with disk connected via USB, attached to an external caddy.Īt some point windows reported a cyclic redundancy check and the drive stopped reading. I was actually able to read the entire structure, and very slowly copy off a lot of the files. I didn't expect it to be recoverable, but at this point I was slightly shocked it was spinning so I just plugged the SATA cable from an external caddy straight into the powered up disk.

I worked out it was likely a stuck head on the platter and with some careful encouragement got it off the platter and the disk spinning again. Hi all, I've tried quite a few Testdisk guides/other forum posts, but at this point I'm out of ideas, I suspect the disk is probably too far gone, but I thought I'd ask in case anyone has any further advice/steps to try.īackground: A friend has a 1TB Seagate backup plus that had stopped working and just made a beeping noise on powerup.
