Hi everyone,
I have a QNAP NAS drive and have installed 2x2TB Hitachi eSATA drives arranged as RAID 1. Something happened recently (not sure what...) and the NAS stopped communicating over the network. Further investigation with the QNAP team confirmed that one of the eSATA drives has failed (makes a clicking noise and is unreadable) and the other "has some IO issues". Something must also have happened within the NAS unit as for some reason the IP address changed, although the QNAP guys say it is all OK now.
Anyway, in an effort to see if I can recover at least part of the data from the second eSATA drive, I have purchased an eSATA to USB adapter cable. When I connect up to the eSATA drive, the disk is not visible within My Computer, but is visible within My Computer > Management > Disk Management as a series of partitions within the Disk. I am unable to assign a letter to the partitions. The disk is visible using cmd > diskpart > list disks. But it is not visible using cmd > diskpart > list volumes. The disk is also visible within Control Panel > System and I have checked that the drivers are all up to date.
I have two laptops one with Windows XP and the other with Windows 10.
Any ideas? Thanks!
