Q: Cannot get a data recovery HD to mount
Due to my iMac's HD dying, and my backup HD failing before I could recover, I had to have the backup drive recovered at a data recovery service (expensive). The HD they gave me with the recovered Time Machine backup is in exFat format. In Terminal, I was able to see the information below about it. Disk Utility sees it, and the Mount button is enabled. But it won't mount. Any ideas?
/dev/disk1 (external, physical):
#: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER
0: GUID_partition_scheme *5.0 TB disk1
1: Microsoft Reserved 134.2 MB disk1s1
2: Microsoft Basic Data CASE3020 5.0 TB disk1s
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
