How I replace the HDD of mycloud gen2

Bennor, the Fox_exe instructions didnt work for me, the one I posted after worked.

I found it here (used google translator, because it’s in russian):

Link for the files:

Instructions:

#use live ubuntu or another linux OS

sudo su

#change the sdB for the letter of your disk. Ex sdA,sdB,sdC… (List disks in system: “parted -l”)
parted /dev/sdb

mklabel gpt
mkpart primary 1049kB 2149MB
mkpart primary 8591MB -1MB
mkpart primary 7517MB 8591MB
mkpart primary 2149MB 3222MB
mkpart primary 3222MB 4296MB
mkpart primary 4296MB 6443MB
mkpart primary 6443MB 7517MB

q

mkswap /dev/sdb1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb2

#change the “/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/” for the path to your files

dd if=/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/sdb3.img of=/dev/sdb3
dd if=/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/sdb4.img of=/dev/sdb4
dd if=/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/sdb5.img of=/dev/sdb5
dd if=/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/sdb6.img of=/dev/sdb6
dd if=/media/mint/4C9462439462301E/wd/sdb7.img of=/dev/sdb7

PS: the instructions are based on fox_exe one, all credits go to he and User KOCTET of 4pad.ru forum
