3TB Volume will not mount
Posted: 04 Dec 2013, 23:33
Error happened when drive was removed during shut down on Mac 10.8.5. Disk Utilities said it couldn't be repaired (Volume showed up but couldn't mount) then, moved drive to MacBook, running Mavericks, using docking station and immediately Volume disappeared from Disk Utilities. I believe this 3TB Toshiba oem drive was formatted exFAT but it is showing up in TestDisk as HFS (which could be true) .
TestDisk revealed as follows:
Disk /dev/rdisk2 - 3000 GB / 2794 GiB - 1565565872 sectors
Analyse cylinder 1345126400/1565565871: 85%
check_FAT: Unusual media descriptor (0xf0!=0xf8)
Warning: number of heads/cylinder mismatches 16 (FAT) != 1 (HD)
Warning: number of sectors per track mismatches 32 (FAT) != 1 (HD)
EFI System 40 409639 409600 [EFI]
Mac HFS 409640 1171861383 1171451744
Have not written to drive yet. Do not have Windows system that will read a 3TB hd (but will build one if needed)
Volume Name is HaBango_14 name shows up in Remo but disappears after scanning.
I think Team TestDisk can help me figure this out.
We need to find out what the real partition is. Rebuild it. Recover Volume (including file names) and copy to new drive.
Have PayPal and I'm not afraid to use it
