How to repair damaged disks that crash Disk Utility and DiskWarrior
Authored by: koki_ali on Sep 11, '14 05:15:16PM

Hi, I used your technique and it almost worked DA brought up the mounted external hard drive i had an iPhoto library on it. Let me tell you what I have been doing. I open the DA App and connect my external HDD it does show up with the greyed out option in second row (Partitioned part). then I uncheck the activated box with Block Mounts then click on Mount and check the 1st 2nd and 4th and hit ok. then i run my DU App to verify or repair. It doesnt either verify or repair completely but then mount my HDD in desktop i am able to click open the folders and see the files but when i drag and drop them to my desktop it stays stuck at Preparing to copy forever.
All i want is to get my photos of my kids it is precious to me as anybody kids are precious.
Any help would be appreciated.
Do i need to mount it when external HDD shows up in DA?
