Nope. I connected the disk to Ubuntu 8.04 i386 and used ddrescue to read it. Nothing to do with Windows or NTFS. (the backup USB drive I bought is a 750Gb WD USB drive formatted as NTFS, which I left at that for now because I plan to backup another Windows laptop on it as well). >> >> >> Could it be that Windows screwed up some parameters on the disk itself >> to disable it from supporting >137Gb? > > 137gb is the limit of ntfs with windows service pack1. service pack2 is > greater. I access (or try to access) the drive's raw data. Apart from the NTFS partition, the drive was partitioned with one boot partition and the rest is under LVM2 and ext3.
