Still unsuccessful with this one. Two questions revolve in my head: Why all this happened? Why all of a sudden this drive was rendered unusable? Why it's such a pain in the butt to restore it to at least any form of usability? I'm fighting but honestly I'm losing hope. At one moment CKHDSK /R...

Thanks for the explanation. Do I understand well that despite hooking an external enclosure up to a device equipped with a modern OS, it's data might become interrupted just because there's some sort of difference in "sector size settings" in a printed board, where enclosure's firmware sits...

DMDE is identyfying partitions correctly and is displaying info that they are formatted under NTFS, which is correct. However, they weren't labeled with an additional "4K" indicator. By the way, I've tried to inform myself about HDD sectoring and how external enclosures might affect it but I've...

Thanks a ton for the reply :) I'll try DMDE cause Minitool was unable to work any magic in here. UPDATE: So far it's running a volume scan (54%): Q: What should be my next steps? Should I let it finish scanning or it's possible to restore partition at this point?

Thanks for the link. Appreciate it :). So far it's scanning the drive using the "partition recovery wizard" tool. So far so good. It did recognize an "NTFS" partition but was unable to do anything further when I've aborted the scan. I've done so after the partition was found and I could choose...

Thanks for the reply. The 4TB hard drive was briefly serving me as an external drive in a 3.5" enclosure, until I've decided to buy a 6TB one and put both inside my PC. The data stored in there has a backup but it's somehow outdated now, and the one used on, then external hard drive, was the...

Hi there, Recently I've decided to update my hard drives to increase the overall data capacity. I've chosen HGST 6TB UltraStar 7K6000 7.2K 128MB SATA III 3.5' and a 4TB one, also by HGST. They are a typical high-durability server-grade drives. I own a docking station - Natec Kangaroo Dual, just...
