Hello everyone, new poster here due to a headache issue. Last night I deleted one of our work HDD external drives—though it had a mirror setup—but editing work was lost after a day’s work. The drive appears in Utility, but it won’t mount or repair itself. We identified a Disenter Error and checked the Apple forums thread (https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/695361). I’ve tried all troubleshooting steps and fsck commands in Terminal, even in Recovery Mode. Files exist, but recovery software can’t access them. Anyone else have had success fixing this? No need to waste time copying over files from an iPad—lol.
