G+_Robin Beer (Nibor99) Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Hi I don't know if anyone of you has a solution to my problem but I really you do. If been using a 2 TB external hard drive to back up my data and yesterday I wanted to back my data up and wanted to start the hard drive but only the LED of the case went on but the hdd in it did nothing. So I tried a few more times until I was sure it wouldn't work and so I took the hdd out of its case and put it into my hdd dock. In there the hdd starts but on every system I tried to use it (windows and Ubuntu) the drive gets recognized but is formatted strangely (as shown in the image). Does anyone know a solution for this ? Thanks for your help Robin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Travis Hershberger Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Do you or someone you know have a copy of SpinRite? Honestly the drive is probably done, but you might be able to still get it working long enough to grab the data off of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Robin Beer (Nibor99) Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 No I unfortunately don't have a copy of SpinRite (although I think I'll have to by one). But because I starts in my dock I thought the drive would be basically okay. I think I will try to format the drive tomorrow because there isn't anything extremely important on it. I just hoped I could keep the stuff on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
