I have a old DVD/HDD recorder (Panasonic DMR-EH58) with RCA inputs & outputs etc. I want to recover all the recordings off its HDD. The HDD is a 2008 ATA/IDE 7200RPM Hitachi deskstar Model no:HDP725025GLAT80 250 GB has a DVD drive.
It has been used at a conference center for many years recording camera RCA input. It is in good condition but it is outdated so I am trying to copy the recordings to a computer. I also would like to recover the deleted files if possible as they would not have been overwritten yet.
I have borrowed a universal drive adapter and tried to mount it on both Windows 8.1 and ChaletOS Linux (Ubuntu based XFCE type distro). Windows showed it as a grayed F: drive and Linux did not auto mount it either.
GParted shows it as "/dev/sdb: unrecognised disk label":
Command line attempts follow:
joel@joel-laptop:~$ mount dev/sdb
mount: dev/sdb: No such file or directory
joel@joel-laptop:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdb /mnt/usbdisk

Of course, and especially since you said you need to work with deleted files, you need to copy the whole content (on a byte level) before doing any forensics on it.
