To repair mbr I tried
testdisk
bootsect
chkdsk /r
AOMEI Partition Assistant
Router still cant see it or share the drive. Computer via usb reads 95% of it fine in windows, with some corruption.
Computer via usb reads 100% of data in linux boot disk, no corruption, which makes me think its an ntfs or mbr problem.
The router is a Linksys / Cisco EA3500 router and the drive is a Seagate Backup+ 2tb drive.
The drive is formatted in ntfs. Everything was working fine until I took the drive out of the router to recover some of the corrupted files (turned into 0kb folders in windows). Now the router doesn't see the drive at all and won't share it on my network.
I have uploaded firmware and set the router back to stock, nothing changes, still the storage page in the router admin settings says "unsupported disk" and something about the filesystem or mbr being wrong.
I can't reformat to fat32, which linksys says is a workaround for the corruption issue, because my drive images are too large and wont fit on fat32. This has been a nightmare problem for me, open to any advice, thanks!
Was using this external on the network to watch serviio files and listen to music and store acronis images, now I can't get it online.
