MacBook 5,2 Early 2009
10.11.1
Hi,
I've been having issues with my wife's MacBook. The OS hung and we had to cycle the power. Since the we get a no entry sign during boot and it won't go any further.
So far I have tried.....
Extensions off
PRam reset
SMC Reset
Single user mode
Verbose mode
Recovery Mode - Disk Utility
Manual repair via fsck
Disk Utility sees the drive and verifies ok but the partition is greyed out and fails when repairing the catalog b tree. After a couple of reboots we then lost the ability to boot to recovery.
I've removed the HD and hooked it up to a MacMini also running El Capitan but alas the same issue. DU tells me to back up and reformat the drive but without the ability to mount the drive I can't get the data off. Filesalvage sees all the files on the disk so I'm guessing the file structure and data are ok but the partition is damaged.
Any ideas how I can mount this drive and get the data off?
