MyBook Issue

#1 Post by SugarTheRush »

Hi there.

I have a WD MyBook. It's a Raid unit with x2 1TB hard drives.

Yesterday, when I plugged it in, I got a lovely error... "This drive needs to be formatted" or something similar.

So I found Testdisk and started the tutorial. But I'm a little unsure about what to do next because I'm not sure if my drive is any different to a normal HDD.

I'm currently scanning my drive as I type. Here is the log so far (below) but it's just thrown up this in testdisk which hasn't been written in to the log yet:

HPFS - NTFS 0 65 2 121600 108 28 1953506736
Check FAT cannot read FAT boot sector
Invalid FAT boot sector omegle online
0 D FAT12 343174 142 62 521156 85 54 2859710987
FAT12 343174 142 62 521156 85 54 2859710987

Could someone guide me to what to do next?
