Data lost/changed when moving harddrive to another computer
I am replacing the motherboards for several computers. My process is to take the harddrive out and mount it on a separate computer for backing-up. While moving the harddrive from one computer to another something happens to one of the partitions. When I mount the partition that has a problem I do not see any of the original data only strange file names, for example:
FileQxYhtZ Permissions: srwxrwxrwx I am not sure what the problem is...may the partition table is not being read correctly... Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas? Thanks! |
well... usually that kind of strange file name mean you have corruption on the drive. It's usually not a good thing. You could try to run fsck to try to fix what you can but dont trust that drive for important data.
