My HD Mac changed to *2.2TB

#1 Post by yougyz »

Dear Admin,

I have a problem with my hardisk, i cant enter my macOS, and it shows a blinking folder in a question mark.

I’ve tried using TestDisk, and it seems my HD capacity changed to *2.2TB (non-partitioned), and when i used [Analyse], in testdisk.log, it shows

“Trying alternate GPT

search_part()
Disk /dev/rdisk1 – 2199 GB / 2047 GiB – 4294967295 sectors
file_pread(7,16,buffer,34(34/0/1)) read err: Resource busy
…..


Would you help me for find the solution, Thank you.
