External WD MyCloud disk size not correct
Posted: 17 Jul 2015, 07:02
I'm hoping someone can help me. I have a WD MyCloud drive that I am trying to recover files from. But, when I run the photorec program, it sees the drive, but the size is incorrect. I have the WD drive connect directly to the Mac via a Gigabit/Ethernet adapter. (I gather that connected on the network, it just doesn't show up as a drive that any of the recover programs seem to recognize).
Photorec does see the drive, I got that figured out and know which on it is, but it reports a 3TB drive as being 102GB. Is there anything that I can do to set up this WD drive so that Photorec can scan it and hopefully recover the files?
I was moving photo files to this drive and accidentally deleted a folder with 600 pictures in it. Totally unaware that there is no "undo" or "trash" on a network drive like this.
