[TD7] Does not see drive over Sata, 2of4 partitions RAW USB
Posted: 23 Jul 2015, 18:37
Backstory: Updating videocard drives invoked some driver install damage and to fix it; during game tests I had to hard-reset (hold Power off button, turn back on) because the screen would go black and video card would freeze, no other way to get back to desktop. During this "fixing" I had to hard-reset my PC about 4-5 times before I gave up, removed the card and am preparing for RMA.
After this workaround, I noticed my Seagate 3TB drive had disappeared from My Computer, doesnt appear in Disk Management either.
Tried TestDisk 7.0, still would not see the 3TB (2.7TB), have since removed it from my PC and have it running in my USB3.0 Enclosure, now its visible but I can only access 2 of the 4 Partitions, in Disk Management the missing 2 partitions show up as RAW (Parti.3) and the other (Parti.2) shows up as a 50GB partition with a 450GB Unallocated space beside it, this should be a 500GB Partition.
In TestDisk the drive shows up and appears as this when I choose "Analyse"
I've written the 4 to the Partition Table, rebooted and still no change. Currently doing a "Quick Search" with 3TB its taking awhile.
