| Sep 5, 2021 at 18:55 | comment | added | HappyDog | Thanks for the suggestion. The disk is wholly readable if I use TestDisk to simply change the sector size from 512 to 4096. I don't know what that does internally, but my assumption was that it is simply overriding one of the disk parameters. What I haven't figured out is how to make that change 'stick'. I am not sure whether this answer resolves that (as it appears to require edits to two linked parameters). Either way, this is not a bootable disk, so the final paragraph, whilst interesting, is not applicable in this case. | |
