There’s a lot of stuff on this, so I’ll keep it short.<\/p>\n

On windows, check Intle RST drivers (assuming there storage controller the hard drive is connected to is Intel based).<\/p>\n

In my case it was behind a USB Enclosure. The drive showed properly as 3TB, but it didn’t recognize the File Systems.<\/p>\n

Figuring I could see the files in linux that’s when the problem presented itself.<\/p>\n

Lucky for me I had another machine that was 64 bit and had sata ports, plugged it into that and checked there (the storage controller was old nvidia nforce4, if anyone remembers that lol)<\/p>\n

and it worked it saw the drive. When I went to mount the partition though it stated “unknown filesystem type ‘linux_raid_member’<\/a>”<\/p>\n

So I did the same thing and mounted it using mdadm, I also had to do “mdadm –stop \/dev\/md0” or else it always say the \/dev\/sdb3 was busy.\u00a0 Strange.<\/p>\n

This was cause the drive was from a RAID 1 member, so all files were accessible.<\/p>\n

Never seen this one before, and yes I’m aware of 2TB limit of 32 bit systems, So I knew that was not the issue. This was good to know though in case of future file recovery attempts. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
