Thanks in advance.I do know that I have done something really stupid and blame is all on me.īasically you want to get a disk editor and go around sector 786432*8=6291456 and start searching for the text string "FILE0".ĭepending on the amount of "hidden sectors" before (they used to be 63, but nowadays they are more likely to be 2048) you should find it between 6291456+456+2048, if the search flips sectors much beyond, stop it (it is possible than on a 3TB volume the $MFT is moved on a higher address, the 786432 is the "standard" from around 5/6 Gb up, but cannot say if it has a "limit" on such a large hard disk) Go very near (say 20000 sectors before) the end of the disk (i.e. go to last sector and go back some 20000 sectors), then start searching for text string "NTFS". ![]() ![]() Post if you can find any of those, and where exactly (the first should be the first sector of the $MFT and the second the backup bootsector) you found them, if they are found (and they are valid), it is possible to rebuild the filesystem (of course anything that was in either the 73 or 500 Mb is anyway lost forever as it has been overwritten - cannot say if the thingy applies the whole 500 Mb or just the "written" sectors, i.e. I ran into a little trouble trying to clone the 'damaged' drive using CloneZilla.

(as in sudo dd if=/dev/sdc of=/dev/sdd) This might be a noob problem.ĬloneZilla only copies the 500MB 'partition', even if I ask it to do a sector by sector copy in Adanced Menu. #Change access to writeable using wxhexeditor windows# Since they are 3TB, I believe they are not MBR drives and are GPT (GUID Partition Table).Both are 3TB in size and have the same exact geometry/attributes.The two drives are exactly the same make and model, Seagate BackupPlus 3TB. #Change access to writeable using wxhexeditor windows#.#Change access to writeable using wxhexeditor iso#.Please share wxHe圎ditor to increase popularity and make me motivate working on it.
