ive connected it to both macbook pro and windows computer just fine .
most of the data on the first partition is all there , and unfortunately a lot of data on the second partition is mysteriously missing . but basically the drive is viewable and usable on windows and mac - since it should be a healthy exfat . ive cared nicely for the drive and the hardware is beautiful . windows seems to scan and verify it as healthy with the scan checking tool , and mac shows it as partitions being perfectly healthy except head parent drive WD Exfat having that error seen above . WD Discovery checker shows it as completely healthy on all three stages of scanning , and also EASE US test shows completely healthy all sectors .
i sense that if this minor error could be repaired , that my data may just reappear again or i could easily continue imaging and recovery . right now its just a nice drive that has some missing data and is refusing to be imaged or recovered . if you have any ideas about terminal functions for disk repair (possibly diskutil and fsck ? ) , maybe that could correct this partition map error ?
i am sensing that it has minor corruption due to using a recovery software on it this week , and because of a mount problem - i had to disconnect power in order to reboot . so that's not bad damage , just an error which may have contributed to partition map issues .
i may have to format the stupid thing and recover , which im considering . i just dont usually do that whenever a minor corruption has happened . i usually try disk utility , and that has fixed most of my issues with the one-click repair capability .
