Mount a trashed hard drive using Target Disk mode
Authored by: bpfh on Nov 29, '04 03:41:18PM

Sorry, I do not know what the designation for an USB drive would be. At the moment, my SanDisk card reader, for instance, appears as /dev/disk2s2.

I am not sure how to get a listing of active devices in MacOS X. Entering ls /dev/disk* will give you a complete listing, but how to determine which one is your USB drive? Anyone?

When i mount i see 'BSD Name' in 'About this Mac->More Info'

for example
BSD Name: disk2
...
File System: Journaled HFS+
BSD Name: disk2s9

Not sure if it appears if it DOESNT mount correctly in finder..
