Hi,
I have ane external drive which one day stopped being accessible on my Mac. It prompted me to repair it in Disk Utility, but the repair option was greyed out. Now the drive doesn't show up in Disk Utility at all. However it does appear on a Windows system (although I can't access the data, even with MacDrive installed). The drive is physically working as I can feel it spinning up, there's no clicking or what have you, and the USB is definitely working as Windows detects the drive.
If I were to attempt to make an image of the drive on Windows would I be able to recover the data from that Image using Mac Recovery tools? Or will the drive image be encrypted (I have read there is hardware encryption on my model).
Is there anyway I can get the disk to mount or be visible to an OSX system so I can run DiskWarrior or the like?
Model#: wdbacx0010bbk-01. It's a 1 TB MyPassport 2.5" external drive.
Thanks!
