I have a Seagate Freeagent Goflex Desk External Drive 3TB and it was working fine a week ago, but when I go to plug it into my Macbook Pro 15in mid-2010 model I get the following message:
"The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer."
with the options to "initialize", "ignore", or "eject".
I searched the forums & saw a few people had some answers, so I tried using disk utility & terminal to restore the GPT headers, but I got this message in terminal when I tried that.
------------------------------------------
sudo gpt recover /dev/disk3s3
gpt recover: /dev/disk3s3: no primary or secondary GPT headers, can't recover
DNA-Imagery-MBP:~ DNA$
------------------------------------------
Does anyone else have any suggestions on what I can do or what the next step will be? I have important files I need to access & I can't have my external harddrive down like this. Any help would be much appreciated.
