Accessing Files from Old WD MyBook Live that Died
A lightning strike nearby fried several of my devices - cable modem, tv cable box, one ethernet port on Asus RT-AC66R, and my WD MyBook Live which I used as a NAS to store files. Some of the files on this MyBook Live were backed up but not all. Troubleshooting the power supply worked but no ethernet lights and I could hear the HD spinning. I opened the enclosure and the HD is a WD 2Tb Green Sata drive. Since the MyBook Live is linux based, I downloaded disk internal onto my Win10 machine and plugged in the drive which seems to be working. I can see 2 linux volumes with root and various directories. There is a 1 GB volume that won't open. Other than finding a used MyBook and trying that anyone have any suggestions to get my files from the HD that was in MyBook Live? Thanks.
