WD My Book Duo 4TB Recovery
Posted: 17 Feb 2016, 07:05
Hi,
My 4TB WD My Book Duo started showing up as RAW and it said invalid filesystem or something in Windows 10. I believe it was formatted NTFS with one large partition. I ran the default option on TestDisk 7.0 to deep search the partitions and it says the following after several days of running:
I ran the WD drive utilities and it said that RAID was good and Quick Drive Test also passed.
I tried to take one drive out and try with another sata connection and it never mounted, when I put it back in it said the RAID could only be rebuilt by erasing. Now I just have one drive in and RAID 1 says degraded. I think either drive will function the same.
When I select the 1st option:
I tried to list files in each partition and they seem to be from disc images that it found.
Where do I go from here?
Is there a way to repair the file system?
Log attached too.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

The harddisk (4000 GB / 3725 GiB) seems too small! (< 8001 GB / 7451 GiB)
Check the harddisk size: HD jumpers settings, BIOS detection...
The following partition can't be recovered:
