Crc Error External Hard Drive

[Lavonda Busing]

Anywaysif your disk happens to be ExFAT, and you remember improperly removing the disk the last time you used it, chances are, fsck is holding it hostage (metaphorically, of course). fsck is trying to repair the disk, but it will stall forever, so you want to launch Disk Utility, and the Terminal. Try to mount the disk, and switch to Terminal and write sudo pkill -f fsck. The disk will mount in read-only mode, and from there, you can repair it with First Aid in Disk Utility. This won't work for non-ExFat drives, as macOS manages them differently.

This happened for me on a Big Sur MacOS, clicking the 'First Aid' option in Disk Utility kept giving me this same error. What ended up working for me was restarting my laptop, then continuously trying 'First Aid' until one time it suddenly didn't give me the error, and after waiting about 20minutes the drive mounted properly. I don't think I did anything differently other than trying over and over again.

This still isn't working for me. I don't understand what this "and the Terminal" means. When I try to mount my drive, the error that is the title of the forum comes up and it appears I am at a dead end. I tried to repair the drive, and it seemed to do something (with a bunch of green check marks) saying it was fixed, but it still won't open or be recognized by my finder or desktop. If anyone is able to walk me through this, I would be very appreciative.

This time, though, even after running First Aid in Disk Utility, the drive is still registering as Read-Only, which I'm not sure how to fix! Anyone have any suggestions or have experience with this? The drive does have about 1.5 TB of data on it, and it hasn't completely backed up to my cloud storage yet, so ideally not anything that requires reformatting (fingers crossed)

The quickest way to sort out problematic exfat drives I've found is to mount them in a windows environment (either in a virtual machine or on actual windows computer) and repair them from there. Disk first aid takes a loooong time on larger drives.

Thankyou @jkrosado and @calif94577. It worked out but without hitting the enter button, magic! Also the exfat formatted LA CIE 5GB drive worked on BigSur before then after upgrading to Monterrey it didn't show up.

I tried that command on the Terminal, the 'First Aid' option on Disk Utility said everything was OK and then same Could not mount drive error, I restarted , tried it few times, same error. Dont ask me why but what worked was Logging Out my Mac user and logging again with the same user, super weird. There's defo some bug on Monterey and the external drives / Time Capsule Mac application...

Hi everyone! I have followed the steps and Disk Utility is running first AID. I have got a SEAGATE 2TB ExFat formatted...but first AID is running "Checking file system hierarchy." and it has done so for 24 hours...is that normal for a 2TB? I am tempted to quit it....

Hi there, My external HDD (LaCie Rugged 4 TB, MacOS Extended (Journaled) formatted) doesn't show up on the desktop. It is visible in Disk Utility but I can't repair it. The system returns com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49244..

Whenever there is a disk unknown not initialized" issue or I/O device error occurs, your hard drive may show unallocated space in Disk Management, and the data on which will be inaccessible or else there is another situation: there is no disk space shown in Disk Management.

This CMD command would erase all data on the uninitialized hard drive, which you can later restore after repairing the external hard drive not initialized, with the help of any data recovery or partition recovery software:

To recover your data from the affected drive you need the help of reliable data recovery software. Here, I suggest you to check out Stellar Data Recovery Professional Software to recover your data from the affected drive.

Errors can be access denial, file system errors, device not formatted alerts, unsupported file system messages, or indicating fatal hardware issues that may indicate that the hard drive is not being detected properly.

If none of the steps work, the issue is likely due to physical problems with the drive, such as damaged platters, heads, or scratches. Recovering data is still possible, but it requires a detailed diagnosis in a Class 100 clean room to prevent further damage. It may also involve replacing parts, followed by cloning and performing a logical analysis using specialized tools to recover the data.

You can also check the successful data recovery performed by Stellar Data Recovery when a customer was facing an issue with an external hard drive not being recognized. Check this Case study given below:

If no hard drive detected or hard drive not showing up in My Computer, connect the drive to another port and check the Device Manager for issues.

The article is very informative, when I was using my external hard drive and connected to my laptop, it was not detecting, but when connected to the desktop the hard drive successfully detected. Now I can access my Hard Drive DATA. The article helps me to fix my hard drive issue. Thanks !

Hello,

If your external hard drive is not detecting anywhere and you also checked into Disk Management, then it may be the cause of Physical failure.

At the stage of Hard Drive Physical failure, you have no option except replacing Hard Drive. And you need to go for data recovery services to recover your data stored in hard drive.

Hi Vijay,

No, it is a myth. The cost of data recovery depends on many factors such as the condition of devices, devices type, how much data you want to recover, etc. So that first we do media analysis and provides all estimation to the customer. Moreover, we perform data recovery after customer approval.

Dear Priyanka,

There can be many reasons a hard drive not detected, you can check it with service center. As you said your hard drive is not detecting in Disk Management can be problematic. May be you have to compromise with your data.

Hi Vivek,

It seems like you have tried for the possible solution. But still, your hard drive is not Detected. Yes, we can recover data from an external hard drive not detected.

The cost of data recovery is not fixed, and it depends on various factors such as devices type, the size of data, how you lost data etc. You can submit your hard drive for analysis. Our Data recovery experts will do the analysis of your hard drive and provide you best possible solution.

We are open on Saturday. Drop your media at your nearest location:

Hi,

Thanks for recommending our blog to solve your hard disk problem. As it seems no free solution available except above, I will recommend you to get in touch with the data recovery service provider. It can be bit costly, but you will get upto 100% data. Remember do not apply hit and try methods that may be prone to further data loss.

Hello. I had a Seagate external hard drive plugged into my computer, and I wanted to transfer some files from this drive to another external hard drive. When I plugged the second external hard drive into the iMac, the first external hard drive no longer appeared on my desktop. I went into the disk utility, and noticed that the first external hard drive was no longer mounted. When I clicked 'mount', I received this error "com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 0.". I then removed this hard drive, and plugged it into my MacBook, where I received the same error. I then upgraded to Big Sur, hoping that this would somehow solve the issue, and I am still receiving this sam error message. I cannot access anything that is on this drive. Please help me figure out a solution to this issue. I really don't want to lose everything that is on this drive. Thanks.
