Hi Guys,

I got this case of ST3000DM003 with FS totally botched. The client couldn't tell me much, they don't even know if they have saved files beyond 2Tb which would have lead me to believe that the drive was taken out of its enclosure. But the enclosure was intact and no sign of opening. The drive functions fine. Cant check heads in Terminal cause it gives Invalid Diag Cmd Parameters. DE and even Windows seem to show the original Seagate Backup installation files and no user data. Any ideas are very welcome :?:

Terminal commands wont be possible on this. How does it look in hex, is it full of data? Scan in r-studio and watch the scan progress to be sure metadata and/or file headers are identified. If yes, leave a scan persist to try to identify a valid result with data. If no file headers are identified check if the drive has been securely erased or if there is some type of encryption in use.
