The emergency I need help with
I was given a 5Tb external drive that cause the machine to lock up.
The woman who brought it to me is running Win10 Normally I remove the drives and install them internally to see if the drive is good or if the enclosure simply has bad electronics. Though I confirmed the enclosure is bad by trying it with a known good drive...it seems the 5TB drive is corrupted. It does not come up in Explorer and disk management "wants" to initialize it which will desultory all data. From a Google search I see there are utilities to repair the MBR but since it's 5TB I assume it's GPT. I advised her to take it to a data recovery outfit but am wondering if there is anything safe I can try? I am pretty sure I'm going to wash my hands of the matter |
