Hello all,
I have a 4TB drive that I have been using for about one year and half. It worked fine until this morning, when I unplugged it after selecting Force Eject and plugged it in again, it shows "The dish you inserted was not readable by this computer". Both my macbook and iMac indicated same message, and my other hard drive was read just fine. So I think this is a hard drive issue.
Now my Disk Utility indicates that this disk is now "uninitialized", and there is no partition map. What I tried:
1. First Aid repair on Disk Utility - said the operation was successful within 1 second of the repair, but it still shows as uninitialized.
2. Recover with Disk Drill - Disk Drill Recover could not get any files from the drive.
If you can help me fix with Terminal or RStudio that would be even better.
I need the files so I am not going to initialize without backing up the files.
Thanks a lot.
