Can anyone please tell me how to re partition an external hard drive without loosing the date on it. Thank you.
StrabagISS_ Krall, Hi, Recently had a power outage while transfering files to one of the drives. On reboot the whole system hung until I disconected the Hdd I was transfering files to. Ubuntu then booted normaly. On entering Disks utility the partition on the drive was not there, the partition on the second drive is still there ( /dev/sdc1). Disks can see the non partitioned drive, ( /dev/sdd unknown ) but it will not mount. I can reformat it, but there is so much valuable information I do not want to loose. I have attempted to rename the drive, and then create a partition with the ERASE turned off, but recieve the message warning all date will be lost. The original partition was NFTS
