Worst case, I suspect I will have to reformat the drive and start from scratch. In the meantime, I'm going to try and copy (using "testdisk") the accessible files over to another USB drive.
#RUN TESTDISK FROM USB WINDOWS#
I have tried disabling most of the Windows Services, but nothing seems to help with this constant access issue.Īny idea's / suggestions for investigating further ? The Storage section simply shows Active time of 91.47% I attempted to delving into what was going on, using the Task Managers "Resource Monitor", and I do indeeed see the "System" process having the most Read's, but none are being directed at the USB drive. Windows Task Manager shows the USB drive continually operating at nearly 100%, with Mostly Read speeds being reported (In hardware terms, I have an old external USB 2.0 dual drive bay enclosure, set to span two drives as one, hence the reported 4TB size). : Disk \\.\PhysicalDrive3 - 4000 GB / 3726 GiB - CHS 486402 255 63ġ P MS Data 2048 7814057983 7814055936 Ī valid NTFS Boot sector must be present in order to accessĪny data even if the partition is not bootable. even though, according to "testdisk" everything seems fine. However, writing the partition data back to disk, does not resolve the issue of being unable to access the seemingly "Unformatted" drive.
I downloaded the CGSecurity "TestDisk" fantastic tool, and it detects the MS Partition, and can view all the files within it. However since then I have been unable to access the drive, Windows Explorer tells me that the drive is not formatted!! From the Volume properties window within the "Disk Management" tool under Windows 10, I unchecked the "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" checkbox.
