Hi,

Havea prob with my new super WD drive. Running Windows7 and when rebuilding got the cables wrong and drive is now registering as unformatted 1TB. I was going to use testdisk to recover the data but both it and the WD Diagnostics tool show the drive as 1TB.

How can I fix this?

Most of the data is backed up and happy to reformat and copy the data from backups.

Thanks alot

Cheers,

Lik

It appears that a bug in your Gigabyte motherboard’s Xpress Recovery BIOS may have truncated your drive.
