Internal disk doesn't show up

Good afternoon, I have this problem.

-I have an internal disk that the computer does not recognize.

-Whenever I turn on the pc, a message appears saying that the disk is not readable.

-In the terminal the disk is Disk 1 And it appears without a name.

-Disk Utility doesn't load


I think is only possible to fix it via terminal. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

The disk does not have important information, it can be formatted. I just want to use it again.

The pc is macOS High Sierra.


Thank You!

Mac Pro, macOS 10.13

Mount the Drive in Recovery Mode:

Boot into Recovery Mode (Hold Down: [Command + R] upon boot). Then, using Disk Utility, see if the Hard Drive is seem. If it is, then see if you need to click the “Mount’ button for it. Try rebooting once more. If of no success, then click unmount button, and then the mount button. Try rebooting once more. If it is not seen, then the drive is likely dead.

Hello, Fredd217.


If that internal drive cannot be seen by either Disk Utility or Terminal then it has likely failed. If that's the case, you can either have a technician replace the drive, or you can ignore its presence and continue to use the Mac with out the drive.

EDIT - I see Terminal does ID the drive. Hoping someone can suggest a path forward here using the command line. Disk Warrior might also be worth giving a try if ** First Aid fails.
