Hi guys, I'm new to this forum.
This is my Problem:
I want to regain a filesystem/ partition table/ my data. Please help me. The data is very important to me!
What happened?
I tried to encrypt a 8TB external hard disk with Bitlocker on Windows 10 (stupid I know!). For unknown reasons the encryption failed. At first I still had access to the data. The next time I connected the external drive it showed only 1404 GB as hard disk size and no data is listed.
Drive info:
The following command (smartmontools):
smartctl -a /dev/sdb
gives me these details about the hard disk (8 TB Seagate):
=== START OF INFORMATION SECTION ===
Model Family: Seagate Archive HDD
Device Model: ST8000AS0002-1NA17Z
Serial Number: Z8414DRB
LU WWN Device Id: 5 000c50 0a46101d3
Firmware Version: AR17
User Capacity: 8.001.563.222.016 bytes [8,00 TB]
Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical
Rotation Rate: 5980 rpm
Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show]
ATA Version is: ACS-2, ACS-3 T13/2161-D revision 3b
SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 1.5 Gb/s)
Local Time is: Sat Jun 23 14:59:41 2018 CEST
SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
SMART support is: Enabled
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Status not supported: Incomplete response, ATA output registers missing
SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: PASSED
Warning: This result is based on an Attribute check.
But if I use
parted /dev/sdb print
to check the drive, for some strange reason, only 1404 GB are shown:
Model: ST8000AS 0002-1NA17Z (scsi)
Disk /dev/sdb: 1404GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: msdos
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1049kB 1404GB 1404GB primary ntfs
How can I repair the hard drive/ filesystem/ partition talbe to regain the data?
testdisk
I have already tried testdisk. But it doesn't recognize more than parted.
Every help is appreciated! Thank guys!!
