Dos_Box Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I connect to our office NAS box via the Microsoft iSCSI initiator and after a sudden (and rare) blue screen and reboot the drive now appears as RAW and unformatted (Don't worry, I haven't re-formatted it!). It's a Thecus N503 Combo setup and need to know if there is anything I can do to get it back up and showing the file system as is. I know the files are still there as Recuva can see them. It's pretty urgent as I've just moved a whole shed load of pics onto there for when my home NAS arrives.
plexer Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I assume you've restarted everything and disconnected/re-connected to the iscsi target? Ben
Dos_Box Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Yes, I disconnected and reconnected (restarted the NAS and PC as well). It's very strange.
Dos_Box Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 Hmmm. Just found this blog post: Raymond's blog: Windows recognised iscsi drive as RAW (no longer as NTFS) I'll not do the convert command yet but start with chkdsk. Worth a shot, especially as it seems a simple fix.
Dos_Box Posted January 2, 2013 Author Posted January 2, 2013 YAY! It fixed it *PHEW* I can go home now 1
TheScarfedOne Posted January 2, 2013 Posted January 2, 2013 I'm guessing you needed some new shorts Chris!! I had that happen on one of my backup servers and was about to suggest the chkdsk route... Glad it's fixed for you. Did you get my PM?
