OK, I was not aware it was related to them. Porbably something that a firmware upgrade eventually fixed.
But remember the way partition tables work. There are TWO. so if One is all 32kb, the other should be intact and available for data recovery.
As a slave drive would be the perfect solution to run a program live Easy Recovery Pro to get back nearly everything. Now if the drive has been used on other partitions, etc since then if you haven't used the drive, everything is in your favor to get back what's rightfully yours.
Again, if you can PM me if you need further advise. I have saved data for people over the years for people that thought it would never happen.
No charge for the advise. Been doing this for 25+ years.

Terrible!
No idea what to do - years of data I had as a back up gone!
