Guys,
What if I told you I have a LG DVR with a 400GB Seagate IDE drive in it and would like to copy files from it?
I have it physically connected to an older mobo with an IDE port.
Windows sees it as a 750GB drive with some unallocated space and two 'unknown' partitions.
(Older) Debian sees the two partitions as well but does not know which filesystem to mount it as.
I know I could use a grabber device to just dub it to some useful format in hardware whilst playing back.
But I was wondering if there was a way to dump the files from a PC. I'm fine with having to transcode it later on, but so far I haven't figured out a way to actually see the files.
I realize encryption may be involved or LG having set a bogus filesystem ID in the partition table.
Actually, Debian thinks there's no partition table there at all. Anyone have any experience on the matter?
TIA and have a spectacular weekend.
