The driver was installed? As far as I know, these mini cds are usually for
windows 95, windows me. Old machines.
Please check what it's written on the mini-cd.
Nope. I connected the disk to Ubuntu 8.04 i386 and used ddrescue to
read it. Nothing to do with Windows or NTFS.
(the backup USB drive I bought is a 750Gb WD USB drive formatted as
NTFS, which I left at that for now because I plan to backup another
Windows laptop on it as well).
Could it be that Windows screwed up some parameters on the disk itself
to disable it from supporting 137Gb?
137gb is the limit of ntfs with windows service pack1. service pack2 is
greater.
I access (or try to access) the drive's raw data.
Apart from the NTFS partition, the drive was partitioned with one boot
partition and the rest is under LVM2 and ext3.
Thanks for the tips.
