Disk with wrong Geometry (I think)
Posted: 02 Feb 2013, 22:19
Hi all
Here is my story...: I just bought a NAS, and thought i would just take the HDD from my external drive, with all the Data already on it and start with that one.. however, when it asked me to create a volume, i got cold feet, and stopped the process, to empty the data to another disk before using the NAS. When i connected the drive to my computer it could not read it.. like it needed to be formated again. I then ran a Testdisk and i was told the disk seems too small, and from what i can read on this forum, it means the geometry on the disk is wrong.
The disk is a 1,5Tb WD disk. the Deeper search took 12 hours, and unfortunately i did not make a log, but i took a picture of the result, maybe you can use that for something...
Can i change the geometry of the disk without loosing my data? and what do i need to change it to..? if you need a log to help me, let me know and i´ll make another search..!
