External HDD not mounting after Ventura update
Hi, I do a lot of audio editing on my Mac mini and store all my files on an external HDD (Toshiba 1TB an a USB-A). It was working fine up until I upgraded to Ventura13.2 from Monterey, after which it's not appearing in either the Finder or Disk Utility apps. However, I can see it's there as a USB device in System Information, and the power light on the HDD is illuminated. It also appears fine on a MacBook Air running Monterey.
Ive searched this forum and see a lot of people reporting similar problems but couldn't find a solution - shall I just downgrade back to Monterey and wait to see if Ventura 13.next presents a fix?
(Side note - Ventura also hides my USB-C main monitor (LG) and I have to repeat this ritual of powering down the monitor, removing the USB cable, then powering down the Mac, then starting up again in reverse order for the monitor to work. Can live with that but cannot live without my HDD).
Mac mini, macOS 13.2
