I have a physically damaged hard drive (it fell down) which has very creepy noises when attached to a PC.
I am trying to recover some data. My problem is that Ubuntu is not able to mount it. The hard drive is connected through a usb port because it is the internal HDD of a laptop and I connected it to my personal PC. Here some outputs from some useful commands:
sudo lsblk:
sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 260M 0 part /boot/efi
├─sda2 8:2 0 16M 0 part
├─sda3 8:3 0 199,1G 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 884M 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 103G 0 part /
├─sda6 8:6 0 500G 0 part
└─sda7 8:7 0 128,2G 0 part /home
sr0 11:0 1 1024M 0 rom
sudo parted -l does not list the hard drive except from sda which is my internal hard drive.
Is there any way to mount it in order to try to recover some data?
