If it is Mac OS Extended or a something similar then your disk is using the HFS+ file system, which is the default for OS X. the name you see in your file tree when the disk mounts under OS X) what do you see for the Format at the bottom of the window? When I tried to run Check Disk with Command Prompt (Admin) it doesn't return anything, instead, it turns unresponsive and I need to unplug the Seagate just to close it.If you open the Disk Utility application on your Mac with the disk connected, you should be able to see it in the list of disks on the left hand column of the Disk Utility window. Here some other screenshots I took:īy the way, I can't start Safe Mode while connecting it from the start (it stucks at the blue window logo). I've read several solutions online, but I'm trying to be cautious by asking first than further messing with my external hard drive. I'm also unable to open some programs, after I unplug the external hard drive, then those program I clicked earlier open simultaneously. For information, I have 4TB WD Elements I intend to use as the backup.įirst significant problem is that every time I plug it, it shows up just fine on Explorer:īut if I tried to interact with it (double click, right click, etc) Windows Explorer become unresponsive, my pointer turn to the loading blue circle one and nothing happens, if I tried to close the explorer, the 'Not Responding' text appears on the title bar and then I need to force end it. I have Seagate Backup Plus Slim 2TB Portable External Hard Drive that starting to get weird and my main goal now is to save the data in it before it's too late.
