I have 2 Mac-3TB Hard Drives will not mount,please help me

#1 Post by SebastianStudios007 »

I am using Mountain Lion,I have 2-3TB Hard Drives will not mount. Both hard drives have partitions.

They both have partitions, when I connect them to my hard drive, I get a warning asking:

Initialize,Eject, Ignore

I do not want to do any of these options, I want to restore the hard drives, I have tried DiskWarrior,TechTool Pro 6 and Disk Utility.

It seems like TestDisk is what I need to get back my data. I have read instructions, I am just not sure how to get started, and do I need help to getting started, I really need to restore these drives.

So I am ready to get started, please walk me through how to get started with restoring my partitions.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.
