I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory
hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying...
fucking fast boot, lost my data because it's assuming hard drives don't change when pc is turn off
my experience with smart, which full disclore is from over a decade ago, is that once it alerts things are pretty fucked.
Not sure about mac drives but I'd rather do a bit-for-bit image from the drive if possible and work from there. If you find some data has been missing from a regular copy attempt you still can resort tot the image to extraxt it from there.
