The Solution Rating System
|
|
| With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating. - The Grade of the Solution
- The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
- The Number of Author and Expert Comments
- The Number of Experts Contributing
- The Feedback of the Community
Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site. If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support. Thank you! |

Asked by netstarukltd in Hard Drives & Storage, Computer Hard Drives, Linux
Hi
I have a Lacie EDMini (Ethernet Disk Mini) v2 750GB hard drive that's suddenly gone dead. Data from it cannot be read over the network and it won't even respond to ping anymore. I've tried connecting the drive to the PC using USB but the PC is unable to detect the drive. The lights on the drive do turn on and the network LED also lights up on the switch when the Lacie is plugged into the switch.
I have warranty left for the drive but my data on the drive is more important and I'm willing to tear it apart if that will get me the data back.
I was thinking of opening the case and taking out the actual hard drive which I can then plug into a PC to read data off it. Does anyone know what interface (IDE/SATA...) the Lacie EDMini v2 uses and what file system it uses. My guess is it would be using XFS, can anyone confirm?
Appreciate all ideas and plans for testing this drive and getting data off it. I have limited Linux and more Windows experience so would appreciate a bit of explanation if the solution involves tinkering with Linux.
Thanks.
