I had a ton of pics of my family and kids growing up on it and thought i had lost them all, so i took it apart and stuck it into the pc thinking i could at least get some storage use out of it, and reformatted it. i then wrote NOTHING more to it as the next week i built a new pc, and bought a 4tb hd so didnt need it, so it was stuck in a drawer for 5+ years. i recently saw some info on recovering these drives using linux etc.. so i dug it out.\r\n\r\nhere is the drive info if needed:\r\nwd green, 1.5TB,sata/16MB cache, WD15EACS,SN: WCAZA3727696, mdl#-WD15EACS-11BHUB0\r\n\r\nThe drive spins up, is detectable and originally had 2 partitions on it, it was NOT password protected i assume, i could use it with my jailbroke wii to store games, and on the pc for storage freely without ever entering any password. i cannot give the info off the encryption card, as it was partially scorched when i removed it, and it was lost i just know it was triangular shaped.\r\n\r\nany info getting started would be greatly appreciated. i am very computer literate, i have access to vmware, and another pc if necessary to install linux on, though i know little about it beyond the older redhat that i tinkered on 20 years ago, but i can learn fast if given the info.\r\n\r\nthanks in advance for any info or help to recover these partitions (if possible)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/andlabs/reallymine/issues/comments/496628319","html_url":"https://github.com/andlabs/reallymine/issues/84#issuecomment-496628319","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/andlabs/reallymine/issues/84","id":496628319,"node_id":"MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDQ5NjYyODMxOQ==","user":{"login":"themaddoctor","id":6364418,"node_id":"MDQ6VXNlcjYzNjQ0MTg=","avatar_url":"https://avatars0.githubusercontent.com/u/6364418?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor","html_url":"https://github.com/themaddoctor","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/themaddoctor/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2019-05-28T18:11:24Z","updated_at":"2019-05-28T18:11:24Z","author_association":"NONE","body":"If the partition table is intact, there is no need for \"partition recovery software\".
