i installed macos on an external usb drive (surprised it let me do that), then booting from that i installed ddrescue via homebrew, then i was able to copy the files to the exfat partition
wasted a whole weekend for that…

An additional problem is that the Mac is stuck to MacOS 10.7, so even if it boots again, I can’t install anything because “this operating system is not supported”. I would need to find some decade old recovery program somehow. Or find another Mac and some USB enclosure
I run chkdsk and it found that 2TB of data! But in 60000 nameless and useless chunks in the FILE.000 directory
hoping the drive tomorrow can last another day of copying…
fucking fast boot, lost my data because it’s assuming hard drives don’t change when pc is turn off
it looks like fast boot in order to save me 10 seconds on boot restored the FAT state from before the copy
i booted on another operating system and i see all the files, but the contents are all wrong, looks like everything is gone…
if you can find an identical phone you can try to enable adb blindly by touching the areas on the screen, then use scrcpy
but in that case maybe just easier to enable mtp via usb
when it happened on my pc two decades ago it was faulty VRAM. It’s because when it’s loading doesn’t use GPU. Need to replace the video card that means send the laptop to the e-waste.
edit: it’s m1 mac so there’s no vram, right? So it’s faulty GPU which means faulty SOC = completely wasted?
The hint worked! It mentioned to enable csm, but for windows 11 is useless as it doesn’t support booting in legacy mode. But it was loading a loader from Rufus before Windows, so I tried to check if it was interfering with that. I checked secure boot. It was enabled but with custom keys by default. Why the F would they create a default with invalid secure boot keys??
Once restored to Microsoft keys, the USB booted without showing the Rufus UEFI loader and the setup recognized the drive.
From the bios I can see everything about the drives I tested, serial number, activate hardware encryption and so on, so at least the connector isn’t broken.
It was a purchase on a whim, i wouldn’t buy it again. The CPU is permanently soldered on it, if the mobo stops working I lose both components
Lesson learned, from now on I will always buy reputable brands. If there’s a bug in this bios build nobody would ever fix it. Or if it was fixed, good luck finding the right file for an unbranded unlabeled product…
Then I remember that I bought a MSI b650 that doesn’t play nice with a MSI GPU since the November bios update…
For years I assumed he was just a student in college arguing for something and not an actual POS 😢
i just tried it on zorin os and it just wanted
maybe that’s a windows thing
