Ive had this external hard drive for about a year with half of it on a mac partition and the other half on a pc partition. recently, the pc partition (fat32) stopped mounting. my mac computer can pull up the partitions in disk utility and see both, but the pc partition isnt mountable. i tried putting up the partitions in pc xp and it just labels them as unformatted. i have a lot of valuable data in that partition that i'd like the get to if anyone could help me out. thanks!
disk utility tells me this:
Verify and Repair disk “SCOTTYD USB”
** /dev/disk1s2
** Phase 1 - Read FAT
Unable to read FAT (Input/output error)
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
and then first aid fails when verifying and try to fix the problem.
