Disk Management disenter error 49244

After updating my imac to macOS Catalina it will not show my external hard drive. The drive is recognized on the disk utility but when I try to mount it I got the following message "Could not mount “TOSHIBA EXT”. (com.apple.DiskManagement.disenter error 49244.)". How can I fix this issue?

Tuxera didn't work for me. I used Diskwarrior instead and that worked. I've used Diskwarrior in the past to solve a different problem using a Drobo 4 bay array with 10TB drives. Until I used Diskwarrior, nothing worked on both the one 1TB drive I just fixed (that had the same error message when upgrading to Catalina) and the Drobo array that wouldn't work with Mojave. I saved a ton of data with the fix to Drobo as you can imagine.


I recommend trying Diskwarrior and maybe using it in your utility arsenal.

Same issue is happening on my MacBook Air Mid-2015. But it is not mounting anything, not even update nor any other download image (DMG file). External disks nor Time Machine either.

Does any one got any answer for that? Tuxera didn't worked as well.

Workaround I am using is downloading in other machine, extract file do disk and copy using AirDrop, but is it not a solution.

Thanks.

I have the exact same issue... except its with my Macbook's internal SSD... yeah.


Happened sometime roughly after I upgraded my mac to MacOS Catalina. One day, I decide to restart my mac, and then next thing you know it can't find it's boot drive. Question mark icon on a blinking folder when I try to boot up.


I would really like to just be able to mount my internal SSD again so I can access my data normally, but for now I am stuck booting off of an external drive with MacOS Catalina installed, using 3rd party data recovery software to try and save some of my data before I will probably inevitably have to format the SSD and start over again.


Any known fixes to mount my internal APFS drive? Its not even recognized as a boot drive when in recovery mode... Thinking this is more serious than I'm making it out to be!
