Re: [Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hello. I'll check it out, but photorec (used to restore partition/files) won't work , i think, unless i find a way to mount the partition. Any idea is a good idea. Thank you.

Hi Joao/All, Maybe you could try the system rescue cd: https://www.system-rescue.org/ it's a gentoo livecd/usb linux that contains tons of tools for disk management/rescue including gparted (graphical partitioning tool) and photorec (used to restore partition/files) Geraldo Netto site: http://exdev.sf.net github: https://github.com/geraldo-netto linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/geraldonetto facebook: https://web.facebook.com/geraldo.netto.161 On Wed, 18 Nov 2020 at 11:03, Joao Silva wrote: > > Hello. > > All i want is to copy a folder with a lot of photos, my ubuntu only mounts 2 > partitions and nothing with the partitions with the files i want. > I'll keep searching, I have the HDD for 3 years now, and the warranty is long > gone. > > I don't quit easily! > > Thank you for all the help. > > On Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 11:55 PM Eric Auer wrote: >> >> >> >> Hi!

Re: [Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hello. All i want is to copy a folder with a lot of photos, my ubuntu only mounts 2 partitions and nothing with the partitions with the files i want. I'll keep searching, I have the HDD for 3 years now, and the warranty is long gone. I don't quit easily! Thank you for all the help. On Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 11:55 PM Eric Auer wrote: > > > Hi!

Re: [Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hi! Have you tried to have the disk exchanged under warranty? Or are you trying to avoid loss of data / avoid the repair people accessing it? As I have no clue what could be broken in your box, if you only want to rescue the data, the best method without giving it away would be to connect the harddisks inside the box directly and internally to a Linux computer and see how far you get accessing the raw partitions. Some will contain the OS of the box, some will hold config or temp data and some will have those files which would normally be network accessed. Regards, Eric > I tried the reset button several times without luck. What exactly happened in that process? Remember that the disk has to be ON and you have the button for a LONG time and it is deep behind that hole in the case. After starting the process, it can take 10 minutes. > I think the problem lies on the OS/case part, > the HDD works well, no clicking. ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
Re: [Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hi. I tried the reset button several times without luck. I think the problem lies on the OS/case part, the HDD works well, no clicking.

Hi! > Is a Lacie CloudBox with RJ45, my box is 3TB and a 2TB (no HDD) The handbook on lacie.com says: http://manuals.lacie.com/en/manuals/cb/06_advanced_access/advanced-access02-ftp You can use http, ftp, sftp, streaming... default seems to be smb or similar windows network drive. Windows xp, macos 10.5 and Linux 2.6 are minimum requirements. It does not seem to support any type of network boot service with the default firmware, nor boot of the box itself from external network servers. > What i meant to say was, the CloudBox OS can't boot the HDD, there- > fore there is no ip address for windows/linux to connect to. In other words, your NAS box is broken because the built-in operating system of the cloudbox broke? The handbook says you can do this to re-install itself from an internal backup, similar to other recoveries: http://manuals.lacie.com/en/manuals/cb/07_device/reset Takes 10 minutes - do not disturb the box in that time. If the blue led is off, there might be a power supply issue, also if it flickers for a long time. if there is loud and frequent clicking, the harddisks inside may have a hardware problem.

Re: [Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hello. Is a Lacie CloudBox with RJ45, my box is 3TB and a 2TB (no HDD) I can see several partitions but can access only 2. The other partitions are in raid operated by the cloudbox. The CloudBox uses a 3TB Sata HDD " Please explain. You do not normally boot from network harddisks, although you can boot from the network for thin client purposes. For that, you have to provide a BOOTP / DHCP / TFTP / similar server and configure a virtual boot disk. Not sure if NAS tend to support it." What i meant to say was, the CloudBox OS can't boot the HDD, therefore there is no ip address for windows/linux to connect to. https://www.picclickimg.com/d/l400/pict/143651810765_/Lacie-Cloudbox-3TB-Hard-Drive-Huge-Memory-Storage.jpg https://moviesgamesandtech.com/2012/12/12/product-review-lacie-cloudbox/4/ On Tue, Nov 17, 2020 at 2:40 PM Eric Auer wrote: > Hi Joao Silva, > > > I have a Lacie external HDD with RJ45 with a 3TB HDD and I > > can't boot the HDD. > > Are you sure that it is RJ45?

Hi Joao Silva, > I have a Lacie external HDD with RJ45 with a 3TB HDD and I > can't boot the HDD. Are you sure that it is RJ45? A network disk or NAS? Not USB? > * Windows can't access the partitions because is Linux... > * Tried in Ubuntu and only mounted 2 partitions of 8 or 10 What did it do with the other partitions? Have you connected it directly or over the network? Maybe the other partitions are only for the NAS server operating system installed on it? > it seems that the HDD is in some kind of RAID. Depending on the age, it is possible that it is not just one disk internally, but two or more, yes. > A friend who owns an IT Store got me another HDD case > from a 2TB case, but the same, it wont boot the HDD. Please explain. You do not normally boot from network harddisks, although you can boot from the network for thin client purposes. For that, you have to provide a BOOTP / DHCP / TFTP / similar server and configure a virtual boot disk. Not sure if NAS tend to support it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preboot_Execution_Environment Apart from that, network disks are meant for accessing them as network drives, not as boot drives, I think. If you just want to access files, that should be fine, but if some files are not accessible, it could be easier to connect the disk more directly, via USB or SATA, not as external network drive somewhere further away. Note that 3 TB is more than the 2 TB limit of MBR style partitioning at 512 byte sector size. Your disk will probably use 4096 byte sectors and/or UEFI GBP partition style, which only newer operating system versions support. But as said - if this is a network disk, partitioning is probably not the main problem when it comes to booting.

[Freedos-user] A Linux question or puzzle to me...
Hello to all. I know this isn't a question regarding DOS/FreeDOS, but i'm hoping you can steer me in the right direction. The problem is: I have a Lacie external HDD with RJ45 with a 3TB HDD and I can't boot the HDD. * Windows can't access the partitions because is Linux (don't know/can't identify the OS version) * Used a software (can't remember the name) that saw the partition with the files i want to copy, but took long, long, long time * Tried in Ubuntu and only mounted 2 partitions of 8 or 10 >From some searches I did, it seems that the HDD is in some kind of RAID. A friend who owns an IT Store got me another HDD case from a 2TB case, but the same, it wont boot the HDD. Any ideas, because i have none... i have the HDD for 1 one now and no solution and no magic solution Thank you ___ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
