| Post subject: | Copying Linux drive |
I've got a customer's 1tb Seagate 3.5" drive that was in a Buffalo NAS customer device. He had tried to update the firmware and it failed. I've removed the Seagate and sure enough it had a lot of bad sectors on it. I used HDDSuperclone Pro and successfully cloned it. I need to convert the disc into something that Windows can read. Is ExFat the easiest way of doing it? |

Is the intent to recover the files? Or to use the clone drive by mounting it long term on a Windows machine? Some to ways to consider: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtog ... ndows/amp/ |

No, customer just wants the data from the NAS drive onto his supplied drive for a Windows setup. |

Haven't got UFS Explorer, does DMDE work for this? |

I can see the file structure on the clone but the Home directory doesn't have anything in it. This is using DMDE |

Have to scan, as the file system is probably affected by bad sectors |

I'll try DMDE in Linux rather that Windows. |

Success. Using a linux system I could see all the data which was in the shared folder and copy it to the supplied drive which is Windows readable in ExFat. I might backup the data, format the donor drive as NTFS and copy the data back. |

Nice. Would definitely stay away from exFAT. |

Worked to get hold of the data. As I said, I am backing up the data and converting the new drive to NTFS and will copy the recovered data back. |

Were you able to see the shared folder by using DMDE in Linux or just by mounting it ? I was wondering if DMDE would behave different in Linux. Thanks |

In the end I was able to mount and view the clone in Linux. Copied user data to backup without issue. DMDE can access drives in Linux. |

That's what I thought. Thanks. |
