Error code -36

Was the problematic Drive formatted exFat from an Apple Computer ?

If not, suggest reformatting the drive on the Apple computer to the Fat / MBR GUID Partition Map.

The reformat the drive back to the desired format and GUID Partition Map while still on the Apple computer.

Understand - formatting the drive will remove ALL DATA that can not be recovered

I have tried dot_clean but it won’t recognise the path name of the hard drive.

Any other ideas?

How is that external drive formatted...?
