I got a Seagate ST3000DM008 (supposedly 3TB) which I only uses for archiving big but not so worthy files. For some reasons it didn't allow me to make partition of >2TB so I partitioned as 2TB anyway. Days gone, and I stuffed it to the limit with NTFS compression and only a few GB left for at least a year.
Yesterday, when I was moving files around from my other HDD (ST1000DM003) to a external HDD, the 3TB went strange. Only some folders I have accessed recently can be accessed and no files can be opened. When I try to open a file, Windows shows something like "The device is offline".
The next reboot, I can still see the drive in file explorer, but it does not show capacity.
I then rebooted to BIOS, only to found that the 3TB drive is not detected in BIOS. It is later detected in Windows, but with only 3.86GB of capacity and need to be initialized. Swap ports and cables didn't fix anything. (I didn't realize the capacity lost at this time.)
Next I tried to do a rebuild MBR using AOMEI Partition Assistant, but it looks like nothing changed.
After that I tried to scan for partitions, only after 16hrs of nothing to make me realize the capacity lost and the disk is probably completely gone.
Now the question is, is there anything more I can do to try to save it? I do have the external HDD as a (not so recent) backup, and a fresh 4TB HDD ready to go. I would still like to try though.
