[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1646382, member: 175845"] What I can't understand is why DU says everything is OK when obviously it's not, and what on earth was it checking when it says there aren't even any files or folders for Heaven's sake. If if won't mount and there are no files, I'd say you're at a dead end with it and nothing to recover, and I'd just nuke it with Disk Utility and do a partition and format, double checking the option to do a GUID format, and I'd also take the extra step and zero-out, or one pass secure erase the drive.
