I have this 80GB hard drive U Series 9 ST380012ACE. When i do data extractor thing it showing there 3 partitions but there is no file system an root folder on it. I try partition analysis and and grep search still no rersults i can get. Can you help me with this case????

Hi,

Can you read sectors of the drive?

What is the partition type? It is possible that these are Linux type (XFS for example)

No . it is not a Linux File. It is Video Camera HDD Device. It has no Windows on it only data. I can read three partitions but not file system on it. When i look on Hex format there i know there is files on it.

If it's from a video camera, how do you know it's not a proprietary file system?

What do you mean by propriety file system?? When i try to map the location of the hdd, it is showing me "ominix". Im very sure this hdd will detect to this UDMA but i cannot find way how... i almost trying it for 1 whole week but still same results im getting..

Hi,

You've got very known file systems, like NTFS, FAT32, HFS+, EXT3 and so on, but there are a lot more file system created by other companies to some specific devices, like camera recording and some other, that are not recognizable by regular recovery software.
That may be your case.
