@fvdw
I am ok with your suggestion

@Draftmancorp
So what are the disks with data : what sd?

slot 1- fvlw Disk
slot 2- empty Disk
slot 3- empty Disk
slot 4- Written Disk
slot 5- Written Disk

[fvdw]

Take out disk in slot 4 and 5

After dong that perform this command

Code: Select all

fdisk -l

and post output to see what disk are still there and if indeed there is not one with a partition that could contain data
because now we are going to partition and format the empty disks

are you sure that the disk in slot 3 (sdc) is empty ?
It has an ntfs partition ...

[Draftmancorp]

ops, YES is empty but with ntfs parition. now i make it without partition.

[Draftmancorp]

OOOOOO SUCK!.....I WAS FOR DELETING ALL MY FILES. :shocked :shocked ...OH MAN :mrgreen: ok....i have 3 written HDD.....and not 2. :mrgreen:

DONE.

[Draftmancorp]

sorry :mrgreen: it's ok. I put out the 3 written Disk :mrgreen:

[fvdw]

:disapprove :twak

ok you can now partition sdb
We are going to use GPT partition table so we use gdisk

Enter in putty at Linux command prompt

Code: Select all

gdisk /dev/sdb

and make 1 new partition and choose partition number 1
commands in gdisk

Code: Select all

n
1

accepty the default start sector and end sector and partition type
then give command

Code: Select all

p

To check that you have one Linux partition taken all disk space
then enter in gdisk

Code: Select all

w

Now you are back in putty at linux command prompt
Format the partition

Code: Select all

mke2fs -j -m 1 /dev/sdb1

[Draftmancorp]

Code: Select all

Caution: invalid main GPT header, but valid backup; regenerating main header
from backup!

Caution! After loading partitions, the CRC doesn't check out!
Warning! Main partition table CRC mismatch! Loaded backup partition table
instead of main partition table!

Warning! One or more CRCs don't match. You should repair the disk!

Partition table scan:
  MBR: MBR only
  BSD: not present
  APM: not present
  GPT: damaged

Found valid MBR and corrupt GPT. Which do you want to use? (Using the
GPT MAY permit recovery of GPT data.)
 1 - MBR
 2 - GPT
 3 - Create blank GPT

Your answer: 2

Command (? for help): n
Partition number (11-128, default 11): 1
Value out of range
Partition number (11-128, default 11):
