Hi Lause67,

Welcome to the community! :)

You may want to try to clone the faulty disk 1 to a new drive. I have not yet tried Disk Cloning however, it might help.

Thanks

If only I could, requires access to the drive and data, and I haven't got any. Anyhow, my major problem is, I don't know for sure if the drive is completely dead, or just unreadable for the ReadyNas and nok recognizable for Windows computer (with R-Linux or similar). The old Sparc filesystem/OS doesn't make it easyer.

If anyone could confirm, that I should be able to read the files in a Linux environment - if the drive is nok physically damaged, of course. And that's what I want to find out.

Connected to either ReadyNas or in a USB-case, it spins up, klicks some times (doesn't sound good, does it?), and nothing more happens.

If you cannot even access it at the lowest level with the manufacterer's drive tool (e.g Seatools) when it's installed in the USB case, no OS is going to be able to do anything with it.
