[QUOTE="eguerrero, post: 1355811, member: 233368"] The drive does show up in disk utility; however, it is not mounted and cannot be mounted. When attempting to repair the drive, we get this: Verify and Repair disk “C” ** /dev/disk2s1 ** 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 I suspect the files may still be on the drive, but the file system has been corrupted because when I plugged the drive into a PC, I discovered the drive is being read "raw file system". Any suggestions on how I might be able to recover the files? I tried testdisk for mac; however, it cannot find the drive. BTW, I realize now I really don't need to defrag, and especially an external hard drive that just contained data files and pictures! [/QUOTE]
