Hey all.
I have a Seagate 300GB SATA2 drive. Guy who gave it to me reckonned it came out of his SkyHD box, allthough who knows...
Connected via a USB kit I have (enclosure without the box), if it makes any differnce.
Windows lists the drive in Disk Management, but just has it as "unknown" and prompts me to "initialise" it. Two options; MBR and GPT, neither work, throwing up "Device is not ready" error. Can't format it.
GParted (from a Ubuntu liveCD) doesnt find it at all. Ubuntu knows it theres like Windows, but again just lists everything as unknown. When I try to mount it, get an "unknown mount point" error.
Is it borked? Any third party apps worth trying (assuming it is formatted in some weird filesystem or corrupted to hell)? Last I knew Sky drives were formatted as FAT32?
Thanks in advance!
