In my Seagate Barracuda 5TB external disk I have only read options,
Disk Utilities tells me:
Fixing damaged partition map.
Couldn’t read partition map. : (-69876)
Operation failed…
But In finder I can open the files and they are OK
Same on terminal
How can I fix the partition map without loosing the content of the hard disk?
Thanks a lot
