By passing WD Encription ...
Posted: 20 Mar 2016, 23:46
long story short.
the sata adapter stopped working and didnt read anything, tried many many things all but one said i now need to format my drive which i will not do to a 5tb drive filled 4tb+. I had a old ext seagate that i tried the sata adapter that just pulls off the bottom and it WORKED. But i don't want to keep it on that.
I have narrowed it down to either replace the sata adapter from online for the WD enclosure and hope it works, buying a seagate enclosure where i can continue to use the adapter thats working or buying another 5tb and transferring all over then formatting and moving back which i dont really have the money for right now since i just quit my shitty stress filled job.
All apps have failed to notice, read or do anything with the drive when its not connected to the working adapter unless i formatted it. All but the testdisk. It actually lets me browse through the files, folders and structure showing they are all there.
How can i go about using this app to simply make it work everywhere else? Maybe changing the file structure? I have no idea but it seems like there could be a way without loosing data?
Any ideas?
