How-do-you-do all,
Get-go of all, I don't know if this is the right place to post such a question, merely it seemed the most relevant.
Anyway, equally a fashion of introduction, I'm a linux ignorant person, but I appreciate if you can help me regarding this disquisitional issue to me.
I accept purchased the Sagate Central NAS drive (3TB) a year ago and for no reason now there is no electrical power at all and thus I cannot read anything on the bulldoze at all. Since the information on the NAS drive is very valuable to me, I decided to disassemble the drive and connect it directly to my estimator since the bulldoze itself is an ordinary SATA drive.
The problem is I tin can't seem to read anything on the drive on my Windows 7. I have researched the effect and information technology seems the problem is that the file organisation on the drive is ext4 (Not so sure about this since I know zippo about linux and the drive is non recognizable by Windows). I take tried several linux readers including (Paragon ExtFS, DiskInternals, and Ext2explore). The latter 2 seemed to be able to explore the drive, notwithstanding, they see it equally iv partitions (a couple 1GB partitions and a couple 20MB ones). There are loads of folders and files. Accordingly, I cannot recover a single file of my ain.
I tried to explore another solution and I decided to use Knoppix seven.4.0 live DVD. Again the same problem as the one I faced with the linux readers on Windows 7.
I'yard really desperate to recover the data, can you lot please assistance. Appreciate it.
P.S. Sorry for the long post but I wanted to provided as much detail as possible.

I am non sure if this will work as yous have tried knoppix. I would download Puppy linux five.2.eight (middle of page) Burn the iso file and kick the disk. In the lower left of the desktop you will see your hard drives and partitions. Your primary drive would probably be labeled sda1. Click on ane of the partitions of your NAS bulldoze. A file director window will open. Click on your the drive y'all desire to re-create files to. Another file manager windows will open. Highlight the files and folders you lot want to copy past left clicking the mouse push while holding the Ctrl key downwardly. Drag and driblet the highlighted files and folders from the NAS File Managing director Window to the recovery drive FIle Managing director Window. A minor dialog window will open select copy and non move. You can show hidden files by left clicking the little eye in the carte bar of the File Manager

(Not and then sure about this since I know zip virtually linux and the drive is not recognizable by Windows)
If its ext and then Windows deceit use it.
*NEW* Slacko Puppy (Slackware-Uniform Build)
Download Here
Open ibiblio.org folder of Slacko 5.vii and choose your preferred ISO*.
Or Here
Open nluug.nl binder of Slacko 5.7 and choose your preferred ISO*.
Whatever Puppy Linux will practise, all you want is to boot the PC and mountain your "c\drive". This video will show you how its done.

Cheers all for your replies.
The trouble is that one of my linux readers on windows sees the partition types as Raw, and then I fear that even if I use puppy linux, it won't be able to recognize the partitions.
But information technology wouldn't hurt to try. Volition practise and let you know.
Thanks over again.

If the partition is listed as RAW then y'all will need to use Testdisk to recover the drive. Run into this guide. Do not write a new partition table if you cannot list your files. If you lot can list your files, then I would copy them first. If you cannot list the files after doing a deep search yous will accept to utilize another kind of software like Easeus Data Recovery or PhotoRec which is besides on the PartedMagic disk. You tin download the last free version of PartedMagic here.

Ok, so I ran Testdisk simply I cannot observe my files.
I used Parted Magic every bit instructed. Diskhealth sees no hardware problems with the drive, so I decided to run Division Editor (GParted) but it cannot find any system files and sees the drive as one 3TB unallocated space.
Finally, I ran PhotoRec and the results - as much as the layout - is the same as Testdisk.
I gauge my merely hope at present is to try to fix the NAS box hardware if I tin.
Any thoughts?

I don't take whatsoever experience with the box. I would recommend you start a thread in the Seagate Fundamental NAS forum and also contact Seagate'southward technical support. If PhotoRec did non observe annihilation I would call back Seagate is using some kind of proprietary interface. Seagate has it's own data recovery service but I imagine information technology is not cheap.

Ok, and then afterward a couple of weeks, I have managed to recover 100% of the information. Just thought I share the elementary solution in case anybody gets bitten just similar me.
R-Linux which is a freeware software managed to recover all files. The only con was that it recovered the files without the folder structure. Only I tin't complain especially if it'south a freeware.
Finally, a piece of advice. Don't retrieve of purchasing Seagate NAS since it seems that it wasn't only me who complained of this error. Someone had the same fault in their 3TB Seagate NAS on Seagate forum. Although to be honest, the moderator is the one who recommended the R-Linux.
Thanks all.

Thanks for the update. I did non know R-linux existed but it looks like a good tool to recover files or partitions on a linux box.

Hey acct_nael, thanks for the hint of R-Linux!
I had the aforementioned F****** problem with seagate, when I call them I've just heard that I should disassembly the instance and connect the HD on a Linux auto!
I tried to utilize the R-Linux for RWindows first, and I got the same sad result than you lot, all my information became out of social club.
So I run it on a Ubuntu 14.10 and, non for my surprise, all my data became on it's original folder structure!!!
I'k just respond to try to aid you if you still has your NAS drive!
If you hasn't mutter with Seagate, do it! They will modify yours by a new on! As we know the trouble is with the NAS'due south main board project, I believe that the new one will die too, but if we push up Seagate enough times, they can fix it and make something skillful every bit they always did in by!
Good luck pal!

I viewed this Topic early on and then viewed information technology once more afterwards. Glad to hear of the success stories.
I wonder how many other people are having this aforementioned problem and do non realize they need linux to sort it out.
JohnC_21 has hit the nail right on the head, and it does not just apply to those in the circumstances above.
For those hit hard by eg Cryptowall Ransomware, their data may be harder to recover. But if you lot utilize a Linux solution as a backup contingency, yous better the odds.
Who knows, if you dip your toes far enough into the pool at the Wonderful World of Linux resort, y'all may come to similar it.
Cheers all, and kudos JohnC_21.

BTW -for those in Enterprise situations, you lot may already be using Linux Servers in the workplace and non know it. More robust, more secure, and on and on. And for the Home User..it's free!

First off I am fully enlightened this topic is old, but I recollect that the result is completely on topic.
My name is jay and I fabricated the mistake of buying a Seagate 4tb NAS (Central) only well-nigh a year ago. The thing never worked very well, I always had to remap it all the time, and information technology was super slow. I calledSeagate and they said something about over time it gets better. I just dealt with it!
Fast forwards to now (may 2015) I just moved the drive from Florida to Phoenix in a padded instance. It now has most 3 TB on it. The files like anybody else, are very of import yadayada .i went to plug information technology in the other night and the NIC card is not lighting up. i tried 3 network cables that take been tested to no avail.
I contacted Seagate support this morning time and they were very nice (even if unhelpful), After we determined the drive was notwithstanding nether warranty. We troubleshot briefly, but there was not much the tech could practise! I know the drive itself is still alive. I got permission from the customer service team to crack open the drive. They are sending me an accelerate replacement RMA drive to put the recovered data on the new device.
I went ahead and hooked the at present freed drive to my windows system. Yes, I know it has EXT4 and windows cannot read it. I used a software called Diskinternals Linux Reader, and I tin see all the many partitions on the bulldoze. When I click on the 1 with all my data I become a warning proverb " Tin can't Open up disk", notwithstanding all the smaller partitions do open, they all show a linux file structure (var, snd, mnt, usr etc).
I know my data is alive and well and the new drive is on its fashion, I turn to your expertise to aid me from this point. I know linux trends change all the time, and then I decided to write to see if there is an updated solution. Another thought came to me that when I get the new drive I could just cleft the case on the new one and swap the drives, i do non know if at that place has been any success with that in the past.
Seagate drives (internal) as a whole are solid, simply their NAS products actually do not live up to the hype!
Ideally, I want to recover my data from my drive and sell the new 1 on Ebay or something, i really do not want another "Time Bomb"
Thanks in advance for the assist!
FYI: I am a onetime Snr Network Admin (MCSE) with some linux basic background, then no demand to "dumb information technology downwards" for me!
thanks

How-do-you-do Jay and welcome to Bleeping Computer.
The first thing I would try is download any Linux ISO, burn information technology to CD/DVD or employ Unetbootin to create a bootable Linux USB, and kick your estimator using it. Then effort and manually mount the offending division in /mnt and see if that works.

Whatever specific distro or apps i should be using?
