NVR Disk not mounting

Newbie here!
I have a 2 TB Western Digital Hard drive from a Flir/Lorex NVR camera recorder.
I could not see the partition in windows so someone said to install Linux and it can read anything.
So i installed Linux Mint, installed the drive via usb external caddy.
It shows up as a 54gb partition with nothing in it.
Need help

No it doesn't - it shows the partition structure. Which is what you asked for. Try this instead.

Code:

lsblk -f

I don't have such a beast, but you are likely to run into similar issues to people trying to recover PVR disks. The manufactures may well use a known filesystem like ext3, but the data format is proprietary rather than inode based as expected. That means you (someone) have to read the data itself to try to discern where the data are, and how to find the indexing for it. It is usually obfuscated.
For security cameras, I'd expect a recovery industry (paid) already exists - but I haven't looked.

Might have to dig deeper. Some of those use a very odd filesystem.

Can anybody help me?
