ok so

- you are saying ALL the data is damaged and not 1 single piece of file can be recovered (since there are no bad sectors)....
- even though r-studio is showing all drive volumes green and recognized after a scan (does this still constitute as one disk being damaged)
- doesn't extra found ...

Hi Alt,

I tried to do a recovery on the jpg images and all of the images are not complete.

There are black lines in some, others you only see the top half, where some you only see the bottom half.

Also, I have no preview function on R-Studio 4.6 for images. When I goto preview I get a hex editor ...

for example they talk about being able to preview the image and if you can see a full image then the file is recoverable.

well i could not ...

Hi Corsari,

Thanks for your reply.

To clarify - I what I meant in that statement.

- when I first bought the Lacie and plugged it into my mac, I just initialized it (formatted with default settings). the reason why I mentioned this is because other people kept giving different settings.

- but I ...

Hi Everyone,

I recently have and issue with my Lacie 2Big (Raid 0) 2 x 3TB hard-drive.

I think I pulled my thunderbolt plug pre-maturely while I was shutting down my mac (during full shutdown).

Now when I plug my thunderbolt Lacie drive it cannot see my previous Raid 0 partition and it is asking ...
