Linux doesn't seem to recognize my drive at all. It doesn't show up in mount or lsblk but can be found in /dev/.
While trying to mount it manually I get the following messege:
mount -t ext4 /dev/sdc /mnt/hdd/sdc
mount: no medium found on /dev/sdc
same goes for fdisk and mke2fs.
fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdc: No medium found
mke2fs -t ext4 /dev/sdc
mke2fs 1.42.9 (4-Feb-2014)
/dev/sdc is entire device, not just one partition!
Proceed anyway? (y,n) y
mke2fs: No medium found while trying to determine filesystem size
fsck.ext4 -f /dev/sdc
fsck.ext4: No medium found while trying to open /dev/sdc
The superblock could not be read or does not describe a valid ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem. If the device is valid and it really contains an ext2/ext3/ext4
filesystem (and not swap or ufs or something else), then the superblock
is corrupt, and you might try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock:
e2fsck -b 8193 <device>
or
e2fsck -b 32768 <device>
e2fsck gives similar message.
What can be done about this drive?
Forgot to mention that I've tried wiping drive with dd
but /dev/sdc won't respond to it.
