Hi. I think your solution is what I’m looking for. My myworld NAS 1.5T can’t be read by network, utility, ip. The power switch and reset don’t respond but the drive spins up and sounds like it’s reading data as it does so. I’ve removed it from the case and am down to the bare drive. To follow your procedure with ubuntu on a USB, does putting the drive in a SATA USB dock work for that procedure?
I tired connecting the drive directly to my 2nd bay on my desktop. It showed the WD driver as loading, but still no drive letter assigned – though I suspect I wasn’t doing something right.
What do you mean "connect only the wd drive on any sata port? Is that something beyond using the USB as a connection?
thanks,
george
