I linked an previous WD My Passport exterior exhausting drive (WDBACX0010BBK-00) to my 2020 Macbook Air M1 in Sonoma 14.5, solely to seek out that the drive doesn’t seem within the finder. Disk Utility shows a WD digital CD with minimal capability, with all Disk Utility choices grayed out as an uninitialized disk.
I attempted mounting by way of diskutil in terminal:
% diskutil mount /dev/disk4
Quantity on disk4 didn't mount
If it has a partitioning scheme, use "diskutil mountDisk"
If you happen to assume the quantity is supported however broken, attempt the "readOnly" possibility
Then, to mount your entire disk in read-only mode:
% diskutil mountDisk readonly /dev/disk4
Quantity(s) mounted efficiently
I left it excited about it for some time, and at that second a pop-up window additionally appeared saying The disk you connected was not readable by this laptop
. Nonetheless could not see something within the finder or quantity listing by way of the terminal. Nonetheless, by working diskutil record once more, I can see that there’s a new “chunk”, which wasn’t there earlier than (disk4s0
) :
% diskutil record
...
/dev/disk4 (exterior, bodily):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: CD_partition_scheme *36.1 MB disk4
1: CD_ROM_Mode_1 31.5 MB disk4s0
Now, in an try to grasp and (hopefully) get better the info, following the suggestions right here in a weblog publish by nbalkota in 2013attempting the next:
% sudo gpt get better /dev/disk4
gpt get better: operation not permitted: get better
Why cannot I take advantage of restoration? How can I get this to run?
