Reformatted 4tb WD My Cloud
Posted: 16 Apr 2020, 04:38
I have a first gen. 4tb WD My Cloud divided into two shares. I accidently reformated the drive using the WD interface. I want to use TestDisk to recover, but I'm not having much luck. I've tried using a Linux live CD, but got a string of errors and had to abandon ship. I then tried to use TestDisk in Win10. I have no clue about how to interpret the partition structure display. The first two entries on the list are "Linux Raid" partitions, both primary. I assume these are the two shares, but you know what they say about assumptions. Following those entries is the message, "No FAT, NTFS, ext@, JFS, Reiser, cramfs or XFS marker." The next three entries are "MS Data," followed by the same message. Those are followed by two more "MS Data" entries and then, "No FAT, ...." And that sequence is repeated three more times. (If I knew how, I'd attach a screenshot.)
I'm in the deep end, so any help would be appreciated. Thank-you.
