Comment on ChatGPT fried my drive!?

You need to figure out the block layout of the drive and restore a sector map that aligns with the disk.
Start here:

And it bears repeating: LLMs do not think, they generate text from statistical output. If the the topic is advanced or uncommon, errors in output are far more likely.
So don’t be tempted to ask chat gpt for further help on this, if that isn’t clear yet.

From what I understand, I formatted it with 512, but i needed to do it with 520 and then 512?
sg_format -v --format --size=520 /dev/sda
then
sg_format -v --format --size=512 /dev/sda
