Can you post the full output of

lsblk -f

[untold grove]

alright just wait

@rigid robin

[rigid robin]

Has the drive been partitioned before?

[untold grove]

ye

[rigid robin]

GPT or MBR?

[untold grove]

mbr

but right now i cant find the drive in file manager

[rigid robin]

MBR does not contain a backup partition table, so if the partition table is actually overwritten or corrupted, there is no way to recover it.

Does this behaviour persist between reboots?

[untold grove]

yes, when i reboot i still cant find it

actually

i am not sure if its mbr or gpt

is there a way to check?

[rigid robin]

First use fdisk -l to check sector size

[rigid robin]

sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

[rigid robin]

sudo dd if=/dev/sdb skip=976773167 count=1 bs=512 | hexdump -C

[rigid robin]

Since secondary GPT header is on LBA-1

[rigid robin]

This drive uses GPT

[untold grove]

how do i know?

like how did you figure it out

i want to know

[rigid robin]

EFI PART is the signature of GPT

[untold grove]

alright

now what should i do?

[rigid robin]

Check if the primary partition table is damaged

 sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=33 bs=512 status=none | hexdump -C | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

From LBA 0 to LBA 33

[untold grove]

this is what i am getting

[rigid robin]

sudo dd if=/dev/sdb skip=$((976773168-33)) bs=512 | hexdump -C | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

[untold grove]

yo bro i gotta gtg

we can continue later

thanks for the help so far tho

bye

i will be back later

[rigid robin]

Ok, but I just noticed that the first command contains a typo, thus the following command should be executed instead

sudo dd if=/dev/sdb count=33 bs=512 status=none | hexdump -C | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io
sudo dd if=/dev/sdb skip=$((976773168-33)) bs=512 status=none | hexdump -C | curl -F 'f:1=<-' ix.io

was it fixed??

[untold grove]

i am back now

[untold grove]

i got this after using the command

[untold grove]

i fixed it my self, i will mark it as solved, thanks for the help @rigid robin , i used a partitioning tool to fix it.
