[QUOTE="MarkAllread, post: 1886206, member: 399743"] Hey [USER=403905]@Horsa[/USER], Mountain sees and mounts all my internal drives with no problems, it has some other capabilities as well such as enabling a volume NOT to mount at startup. It does this by editing the vifs file which up to a couple of years ago I did through terminal. Worth the price of entry just for that. Using a Mac Pro with many volumes it is a very useful utility for both internal and external drives, including NVME. But as Tuppy said, if it can’t see them, it can’t mount them. [USER=408224]@Tuppy[/USER] Here’s a couple of thoughts FWIW. -First, I regularly swap several drives between three Mac Pro’s and I’ve never had a problem mounting any of them. I have to say though that none of them have been 8GB drives....edit: oops, I mean 8TB of course -Have you tried creating another bootable volume on one of your drives to see if it mounts. -If one of the drives doesn’t have much on it, have you tried copying the contents to another drive and then completely erasing and reformatting it. That will change the UUID (as will a new volume) -Have you tried them one at a time (ie, remove the other two) [/QUOTE]
