i’m totally confused!
your initial post says you have these:
128 GB SSD
750 GB
1 TB
and, you copied data from the 750 to the 1 TB
but the above fdisk output tells me you don’t have a 750, instead a 2000
GB (2TB)…so, lets give what you actually have a name:
sda 1TB
sdb 2TB (you called it 750GB)
sdc 128 SSD
so your story in the initial post was you “copied over” “a bunch of
data” from sdb onto sda after installing openSUSE on sdc
OR did you (in your initial post) name the actual 1TB as a 750GB and
the actual 2TB as a 1TB?? in that case the actual (from the fdisk) would be
sda 1TB (you called it 750GB)
sdb 2TB (you called it 1TB)
sdc 128 SSD
in which case your story in the first post would be you “copied over” “a
bunch of data” from sda onto sdb after installing openSUSE on sdc
so, questions:
- of the two possibilities above, which is correct?
-copied b to a
-or copied a to b?
-and, you formatted either a OR b!
which is it?
-to me (looking at the fdisk output above) it looks like you formatted
sdb (the 2TB drive you called 750)… so, MAYBE after copying data from
sdb to sda you formatted sdb and then looked on the freshly formatted
sdb to find your data, but it is copied to sda–so, look there!
2.what was (is?) the file system in use on sda and sdb prior to
installing openSUSE?
-
in your second post you write “In disk utility it only gives me the
option to create a partition” and i wonder what “disk utility” you are
using?
-
what operating system(s) were this machine (and on what drives) prior
to installing openSUSE?
