We recently had a client with a crashed hard drive on an Apple MacBook Pro. Data recovery software wasn’t having any luck so we attempted recovery via LINUX. The drive appeared to mount okay via FW400 but did not allow the technician to view the contents, it returned an error stating the drive had an invalid filesystem and could not mount.
A quick command in the terminal cleared things right up:
sudo mkdir /mnt/apple
sudo mount -a -t hfsplus /dev/hdf2 /mnt/apple
Of course, you must edit “hdf2″ to match whatever your hard drive was assigned.
