I I have a mid 2012 13" macbook pro that started to have HDD slow downs. As a precaution, I backed up my data to a 2TB western digital "my passport" hard drive and soon after my macbook drive failed. I did not use time machine, just saved my users folder.

I had successfully mounted the "passport" drive into a 14.04 ubuntu machine just days ago to retrieve a file that I needed, and everything worked fine. But today, when I finally had the time to properly duplicate the user data from the "passport" to another backup drive... of course the passport drive is no longer mounting. It gives me the following error message:

Error mounting /dev/sdb1 at /media/rbuse/My Passport: Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,iocharset=utf8,namecase=0,e rrors=remount-ro,umask=0077" "/dev/sdb1" "/media/rbuse/My Passport"' exited with non-zero exit status 1:
stdout: `FUSE exfat 1.0.1
'
stderr: `ERROR: `._.com.apple.timemachine.donotpresent' has invalid checksum (0x6634 != 0x4044).
'


I really need to access this data. What can i do to get it to mount properly?
