[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 991239, member: 325666"] Tried several partition recovery tools ... Sadly non of which would reconstruct nor even find the partitions.. I suspect the Seagate external drive uses a propietory linked file partition system ... However all was not lost as I managed to recover 99% of the missing data ...by cracking upen the unit and mounting the drive directly in a PC ...followed by deep analysis of the unformatted now raw disk area .. He has another of these ...so ..I will now borrow the second one and having discovered how to open it ...remove the 'good' drive temporarily and use a clone dock to duplicate the drive .. Hopefully I'll end up with 2 working external drives containing the same data ...and I can then wipe the clone whilst retaining the partition structure ...then put the recovered data back on the drive.. Hope that makes sense.. The things I do for folk ... lol [/QUOTE]
