Let me give some background first before I get into the issue. A few days ago my PC died and after an hour of troubleshooting I finally confirmed that it was in fact the SSD, so I ordered a new. This came today, I installed Windows 7 on it but when I went to My Computer I noticed that my 4TB has gone missing.
So I opened up disk management and got that popup that says a new disk has been detected, and ultimately asks you to choose between MBR or GPT. I picked GPT and created a new volume, I'm just aiming for one that's the full size of the drive.
This did nothing for me, the drive is raw and the only place I can go from here is formatting it, which seems like a very bad idea.
I'm currently using a piece of software called testdisk to attempt to recover the older partition table, but the drive has 486400 cylinders and the 'Quick Search' is really really slow.
What's your take on this?
