I have a bit of an issue!
I have a win10 pc running multiple 8, 12 and 14tb seagate disks. Most of these are in two spanned volumes - one with my large collection of dvd/Blu-ray discs encoded and the other with my collection of vinyl/cds/minidiscs in flac. Needless to say I’d rather not lose anything!
I recently booted up in Ubuntu as I wish to dual boot on the same of. However, none of the volumes are visible; all the discs report as sectors not being aligned as well as partitions out of order.
From what I understand, somehow windows has managed to stuff the sector alignment up! But how can I fix so I can access these spanned volumes in Ubuntu as well as windows - obviously without losing the data! If it makes any difference! The spanned volumes are formatted NTFS, with 16k cluster size due to being about 40tb and 30tb!
Thanks!
