Dear All,

I don’t have anymore access to the data in the MBWE II, but both of the disk are ok.

IT is RAID 1, so in every disk there should be a copy of the data.

Following the istruction found here I connect 1 disk to the SATA port of my pc, and

I start the machine with Ubuntu Live CD.

But I need help with linux command in order to mount the 4th partition (the 2TB partition),

I can mount the other but the 4th doesn’t mount.

Can someone help me? Please.

Thank you in advance for every suggestion.

Giulia

Make sure the my book is connected directly into a wall outlet. with that said here is a trick try removeing the drives from the enclosure then putting them back in.   let me know how that works. In case you need help on dismantling heres a link with instructions.

if the format of HD is ext3, you can mount following this command:

mount -t ext3 /dev/driver /media/dir_mount

if the format of HD is ntfs, you need to check your system whether suport  ntfs filesystem or not.

if yes, you can following this command:

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/driver /media/dir_mount

if no, you need to install ntfs-3g filesystem derive
