    If you came across other errors during the fixing, the disk is seriously corrupted. Use iBoysoft Mac Data Recovery to recover 1GB data for free: bit.ly/31ibqWi

    WOW...
    How can I thank you man...?
    I`m photographer and my 4tb backup disk was not working properly, your video solved it...!
    I already been in the computer for more than 10 hrs trying to fix it.
    You know about tech stress? I was 1000% above the exploding line.
    Right now its seems to be working, I`m going to restart and see.
    Thank you, you truly save my ass today.
    Best wishes for you and your people, stay safe, and may all good things come your way always.
    P.S: that jump when it says it might erase the content was one of the bravest things I have done in a long long time.

    Some say, the only way to fix broken partitions is to re-install OSX which fixes previous boot partition problems without erasing your data.This is assuming the HDD hasn't completely failed

    Your video on the diskutil is great. I'm in the process of making a clone copy of the disk but thought of using the new SDD and formatting as AFPS encrypted and re-running CCC but warning comes up that the machine may not start properly etc etc. Not sure if that would work anyway.
    Not sure if you have worked out a work around but everything says that Mojave will not operate Time Machine due to format not being encrypted. Is there a way to work around this problem that you miraculously discovered. I can't upgrade to 64 bit as my accounting software is still the old 32 bit AccountEdge which works fine.
    Cheers

    Hello all! I know this is a late comment, but I have followed all the directions and still seem to get this error messsage after creating new volumes for mounting -
    mount: exec /Library/Filesystems/HFS+.fs/Contents/Resources/mount_HFS+ for /Volumes/New: No such file or directory
    mount: /Volumes/New failed with 72
    Does this mean that my drive is toast and have to hire a pro? Its all my past business data and im hoping to mount it for a backup so i can move on! Any help would be very appreciated thank you all.

    Hi there, I came across your video while searching how can I pull files from an old Windows laptop's hard drive. I was able to unscrew the hard drive from the (Dell) laptop and I purchased a shell case that allows you to put the hard drive in it to act like an external hard drive. I've hooked it up to my Mac, but nothing comes up when I try to find it. I tried using the tips in your tutorial, but was unsuccessful. The drive does lit up and vibrates from time to time so I know there is some type of connection. I just can't seem to locate the drive itself on my Mac. Any suggestions or ideas on what to do would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advanced for your time.

    Hi, thank you for this very helpful and straight forward video. Unfortunately I have an exFat formatted drive (formatted using a Mac), and the volume, I believe, was corrupted or compromised while connected to a Synology NAS, for backing up data, ironically.. I tried this repair in command line, but received this message... "Unable to repair this whole disk: A GUID Partition Table (GPT) partitioning scheme is required (-69773)
    " Any suggestions? Most if not all of the data was backed up, but it's an edit drive so I'd really like to get the volume back so I can preserve the file structure I had for Premiere Pro. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
