[QUOTE="MikusP, post: 1763798, member: 394120"] Weird problem, but my Dad accidentally cut the power to a multiblock connected to two HDDs while they were connected to a desktop. He turned the power back on asap. When the drives showed up, one was absolutely fine and still works as expected, the other however, now identifies as a completely [I]different[/I] drive. It's now showing up as another HDD that he also use with this computer, but that had been ejected a few minutes before he accidentally cut the power to these drives. Not only has the name of the drive changed but the reported capacity is incorrect too. It was originally a 2tb drive [I]full[/I] of films. It's now showing up as a 5tb drive and empty (however, "get info" still shows 2tb, but also empty) Any ideas what could cause this? Any idea of a fix? [/QUOTE]
