Toshiba DT01ACA300
Data storage HD, not a system disk.
produced - May 2013
SN-53JVSWWGS
Confirmed current driver/firmware
The drive was from the outset set up with a quick format of 16k cluster size as GPT with no partitions. Copied nicely at 90-150Mb/s
Until I managed to move 2.2Tb worth of files. Suddenly the drive hanged.
Upon system reboot, Win7 repeatedly would not come up past color balls. Quickly installed another win7 on another drive and in that install the win7 would boot no problem with Toshiba 3Tb drive needing to be "imported" and was visible in Windows Explorer in so far as free and full capacity numbers, but would not allow itself to be opened up further.
Now back in the original win7 install the drive is visible in Disk Management as a dynamic disk, "healthy" and "online" but Windows Explorer or RECUVA recovery application do not see it.
All diagnostics performed by SeaTools show that it is alive and fine.
Since I now have some valuable data on it how do I get access to it? Should I begin to worry
Any wisdomers? Many thanks.
PS. Just some details about my system:
mobo - asus M5A97 EVO R2.0
proc- FX6300
