I have used macs for 30 years but this has me stumped. Put all my hard drives [10] in a network to search for files but two of them exhibited the weirdest behaviour and im not sure how to fix it.
hard drive A - a 1tB WD portable with 3 partitions A1 A2 A3
hard drive B - a 2tB WD powered with a single partition with only films
The weird part - the first partition on drive A1 [135GB] (a system clone) has replaced (or so it seems) the whole 2TB drive B - so that it reads as being a 135GB disk with no other space. How could it do that without a command or something? Tried Data Rescue 3 which sees the 3 partitions on disk A so probably OK there- but 2TB of Films on disk B nowhere to be seen. It has even renamed disk B from FILM 6 to Macintosh HD. Anyone have any ideas? I tried Disk Drill which also does not see the missing films. as I say never seen this before unless someone has hacked into my network and messed it up...
