Hello, I guess that it is an issue with the partition table. I have 3 disks in teh same machine. Yesterday I turned on the machine and turn it on this morning. I could not boot. Then I decided to mount them in an external USB enclosure. They all behave the same. testdisk Partition sector doesn't have the endmark 0xAA55 Disk /dev/sdc: 232.9 GiB, 250059350016 bytes, 488397168 sectors Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I never though that I could lost 3 disks at the same time. I have a copy of the partition table on the disks. I am trying to run testdisk =========================================================================== Patrick DUPRÉ | | email: pdupre@xxxxxxx Laboratoire de Physico-Chimie de l'Atmosphère | | Université du Littoral-Côte d'Opale | | Tel.
