I have a 4TB Seagate HDD that appears to have lost all partition information. It was formatted to NTFS in Windows 7. I was trying to copy a file over to it and the system locked up during the copy; totally frozen, couldn't even get into Task Manager. I ended up hard resetting the machine because I waited over an hour for it to unlock. Upon rebooting Windows reported the partition as RAW and I cannot access any data on the drive. A few free softwares I've tried (TestDisk, EaseUS) are reporting that there is no partition or that the partition table is corrupt.
Two questions:
1) Any suggestions for fixing or getting the data off the drive would great.
and
2) Does a corrupt partition indicate a failure of the hard drive? The drive is still under warranty, should I get it RMA'd or is that excessive?
Thanks!
