Have a Seagate 3TB disk that has been connected but not actively used/checked for a couple of months, when I was trying to access it today, I found it did not show up under My Computer
This disk has always been only one partition, for the full size.
I then checked Disk Management, and the disk shows up as Unknown 3.86GB Unallocated
That is all it shows, the rest of the diskspace is not listed, so missing the rest of the 3TB. I tried running seatools, drive information shows
Mode Number: Expansion Disk
Serial Number 2HC015KJ
Firmware: 070B
Drive Capacity 4.14GB/3.86GB
Max LBA 8089949
Cache Size --
Drive Temperatire (C/F) 0/32
WWN:5000C5005CB297CD
Sector size 512/512/0
7200RPM
Form Factor ----
Specification Supported: ATA8-ACS
SMART:Enabled
Host Protection Area Features Enabled
Mandatory Power Management enabled
Download Microcode: Segmented
Short and long Generic tests fail
Short drive self test passes
Mini tool partition wizard on full scan only finds the 3.86GB partition (status lost/deleted), and I have not dared select it and click finish as I have no idea if that would be a bad idea.
Minitools Power Data Recovery: lost partition recovery does not find any file system information. Damaged partition recovery does not find the disk.
Stupidly I do have a bit of information on the drive that was not backed up, though nothing completely irreplaceable.
So my question is, is there any hope here at all for this drive? And if I sacrifice the data is there anyway to bring it back to working condition?
The disk is still under Norway's 5 year HDD manufacturers construction fault warranty, so I can get it replaced if it is beyond rescue.
