HELP!!!
Bought 1Tb 850 Evo to use as replacement for an internal moving drive.
Just gone to Sierra (some things different).
I have an external Rugged Drive with Firewire 800 and to move drives around I open the case of this drive and put any SATA drive in and always worked fine (until this time). Put the Evo in the external case and plugged into FW800 port on the Macbook (FW to SATA happens inside the Rugged drive). This time I get
"The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer: initialise/ignore/eject".
Initialise takes me to Disk Utility. Within Disk Utility the disk appears and DI shows "First Aid/Erase/Restore/Info"
"Partition" is greyed out.
I'm lost. What's the best way to proceed ? Should I run something provided by Samsung on the CD (every former disk I discarded this kind of stuff because its often aimed only at windows machines). What will Repair or Restore do ?
"Info" gives me the following:
