Maxtor Shared Storage partition table

September 26th, 2006, 7:25

Hi,

I've done a really stupid mistake, i thought if i connect the shared drive directly to my IDE it would be faster than the network connecting, not knowing that the parition is linux, so once i connected to windows it asked me to activate this disk which i did, and then i found myself with an emty drinve on windows and non working drive on the enclosure. i need to recover the data, it is really important..i don't think there is anything lost except the parition informat .. i'm not the expert here .. so anyone .. HELP

Thanks in advance

I think a software like R-Studio or Getdataback will help in your case.

Actually i tried,
but the resoted data is all fragmented .. just trying to restructure the folders will take ages... is there anyway to write back the partition table n then read the data? or the only way is to scan using r-studio?

Hello,

this problem should be seen directly by a disk editor, since nobody knows the partitioning scheme and the FS of this shared drive knowing it runs linux.

regards,
