Re: Can't repair filesystem with fsck, and TestDisk shows "no partition available"

Finally it's finished writing that 4TB image.

Now, in order to write that .img file, I've looked around but Disk Utility doesn't mount it, when I double click it it says no mountable filesystem.

I've used sudo dd if=path_of_your_image.img of=/dev/rdiskn bs=1m
obviously with my paths but it hasn ...

Re: Can't repair filesystem with fsck, and TestDisk shows "no partition available"

Currently writing the file image, it's taking a long time. Will update when it finishes, I'd say 2 days left tops.

Re: Can't repair filesystem with fsck, and TestDisk shows "no partition available"

Didn't check the DDRescue part, only TestDisk! Okay so now I need an identical drive to write the copy to? Can I copy the disk to a file image and then write that disk image to a different disk?

Re: Can't repair filesystem with fsck, and TestDisk shows "no partition available"

This sounds strange considering the drive wasn't used very much and was treated delicately.
How do I duplicate a drive I can't access, though? I've read the pdf for testdisk, photorec, etc, and I can't find instructions on how to duplicate a drive.
Do you think it's still worth it to try "Image ...

Another one bit the dust?

You had a broken driven two months ago:

One year and two months ago, and bloody hell that was hard to fix...


The risk depends on the partition scheme used that you do not show. I don't see ...

Can't repair filesystem with fsck, and TestDisk shows "no partition available"

Hello everyone,

My 4TB external drive just stopped working a few days ago, and shows up on Mac's Disk Utility but I can't access it or repair it. I don't think the problem is mechanical as the HDD was quite new and wasn't used very much. I'm trying anything to repair it.

fsck_hfs -r -d returns ...

Re: Tricky one... Repairing software RAID 0+1?

It is visible, but I tried PhotoRec and there is no way I can extract the files to another hard drive. The 4TB was almost full, and PhotoRec extracts files only on the disk it booted from, which is only 500GB.
Do you think it's possible to fix the situation in TestDisk? I haven't tried yet because ...

Tricky one... Repairing software RAID 0+1?

Hi everyone, I downloaded TestDisk as the people from Reclaimed recommended it to me, as a way to fix the partition table on my RAID.

My issue is as follows:
I have a 4-bay enclosure of four 2TB disks, and
- I put drive 1 and drive 2 in RAID 0, resulting in a fast 4TB drive;
- drive 3 and drive 4 ...
