I made a copy of the drive, and tried to run fsck to fix the new drive and got the following: sudo fsck.ext4 -v /dev/md0 [sudo] password for aslan: e2fsck 1.46.5 (30-Dec-2021) fsck.ext4: Invalid argument while trying to open /dev/md0 The superblock could not be read or does not describe a...

I have tried to using the Disk Utilities app but it doesn't give me the option. I don't think it can mount until it's been assembled by mdadm and it's currently being blocked from being assembled due to "superblock" issues.

Sorry what does this mean? I think I'm missing significance. EDIT: okay yeah that's what I thought it meant. If so this could pose a problems since the new drive is 4 tb and the old drive is 3 tb. EDIT2: Okay I think what I have to do here is block level copy the 3tb to the 4tb, but I can't...

I had the OS SSD fail, and then a motherboard fail, so now I've got an all new set up but I need to get my archival RAID1 set back up. One of the 2 drives appears to have failed (it's showing only 4gb partition in Gnome disk utility), and I want to rescue what I can from the remaining drive...

Alright I didn't want to go through the trouble of unplugging the daughterboard to plug into the m2a slot but that seems to have worked!

Main thing I'm trying to figure out is if this is due to me plugging it into the wrong slot. Does it need to go in m2a_CP vuers m2b?

Thank you or the edit and suggestions! BIOS is version 23a. Changed the linkspeed setting but no dice. I've never installed a NVMeto a M.2 slot before. I think I did it right. There are two slots and I put it in the most accessible one but not sure if it's the right one or if it makes a...

Found this thread: https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/samsung-m2-ssd-not-detected-during-windows-10-install-or-bios.3641114/ But can't find sata controller mode in the BIOS to make sure that AHCI is set.

I have a Surface Book 2. It's pretty powerful, at least by my standards. I've also heavily modded my shell using things like 3rd party themes (no longer supported by Windows. You have to patch some reg files to get access to theme stuff like Windows 7/XP had). I've noticed a bunch of high...

I messed up my registry and explorer started crashing a bunch. So then I tried to restore it but it would hang for hours when I tried to do that. So then I decided to try and do a Windows Reset and/or clean install and when I did that it still acted kind of wonky and since I saw my old windows...

Okay so there's some back story here but basically I messed up my registry fiddling with the right click Context menu and now... explorer.exe is crashing whenever I open folders. I thought I didn't have a system restore point from before but after doing some stuff I found one from 6/24. So I...
