Hi,
I have HP Microserver with 4 drives attached as just as internal disks used for storage (without RAID).
Recently the Server went down, I presume it was some sort power supply issue.
So I replaced the server with a NAS, however while trying to exploring the contents of the 4 hard disks using SATA/IDE USB adapter on my Desktop Windows 10 PC over USB. Having trouble access some of the hard disk content.
For e.g.
HD 1 content all seems to be there, this was the main internal Master C drive on the HP microserver.
However, the other drives (D,E and F) which aren't all accessible as expected.
HD 2, is not accessible even though it's available as a drive.
HD 3, is accessible but seems to be in RAW format and prompts to be format it even though was previously formatted with data as NTFS drive.
HD 4, is accessible but some folders are empty and not sure why as there was data in there previous to the Server failure. (weirdly 50% drive is free which I'm sure was previously almost full)
I would appreciate suggestions on next options for recovery.
Could this be an issue with my SATA/IDE USB adapter? Should I just get my HP Microserver fixed and then just add the drives back in there as internal drivers to see if everything is accessible as previously?
