Hi,
I do not look often to this site even if I am seeking for information.

Have you try the following command on unbuntu "lsblk -fe7" it shall give you something like this for a WD worldedition disk

My WD disk is sdc

sdc

Need Help on My Book World Edition

Hi My Book World Edition is not turning on so decided to remove it from the existing case and plug it in as an ext HDD to my computer running Ubuntu.

I tried to mnt the drive but I am getting this error mount: /mnt: can't read superblock on /dev/sdb

I guess this is could be because the drive is encrypted but im not sure.

Serial number of my Western Digital MyBook is WD7500G032

The drive contains photos of my kids which i am hoping to recover. Can someone please help and give direction as to how i can recover the files.

Thanks so much!
