I had Manjaro on my desktop. Last night (Friday) my desktop (with 2x3Tb drives) died. I tried to turn it on and nothing. No light, nothing.
Looks like something happened to the CPU/motherboard.
Took both hard drives out of the computer and I have a SATA external USB toaster. When I tried to mount either of these drives on my laptop I get:

Same for both drives.
When I use some other drives (include a 4Tb) on the sata USB toaster, it works.
gparted reports no partition table. How can I recover the partition table?
Thanks
