Partitions greyed out – the disk could not be mounted errorģ. Even if they are greyed out, it doesn’t matter, as long as you still see they are listed. Then see if your hard drive (or partition) is listed. There are many ways to open it, easiest, look for it on your spotlight.īut you can also go to “Applications” → “Utilities”→ “Disk Utility.app” Where you can find Disk UtilityĢ. So if you don’t see your external hard drive on Finder, check them in your Disk Utility.
So, if yours are not shown in Finder and Disk Utility, then this might not for you. Note, that, in this situation, my Hard Drive is shown in “Disk Utility” but not in Finder. Quitting “‘fsck_hfs” from Activity Monitor ( discussed in this forum). Switch off my hard drive, restart my Mac, and turn my HD on, connected it again to my Mac, and still didn’t work.Ĥ.
Check on “ Finder Preferences” (you can open your Finder and open “Preferences”) if under “DEVICES” the “External disks” is checked.įinder Preference – Devices – External disks are checkedģ. If I mount of the partitions, it will show me the “The “Expansion Drive” disk could not be mounted”.īecause I never had this problem before I looked for hours until I got the solution in the internet, finally I found my own solution for this specific problem. In the below screenshot, my 2 TB Seagate is shown in Disk Utility, however, the 2 partitions are greyed out. So in my case, it was a 2 TB Seagate USB drive, and I had 2 partitions on it, I called, “Expension Drive” that I use for Time Machine, and the other one, called, “PC Drive” that has NTFS partition (for my Windows OS computer), and these 2 partitions of external hard drive not showing on finder of my Mac. In case you need a new external HDD check out Amazon for the affordable best seller. You can hit “CMD + Space” keys, and will display spotlight, type, “Disk Utility” to open it. So I tried to disconnect the HDD and reconnected it again, also waited for a period of time, and still could not see them. I had my external hard drive disconnected from my Mac many times (with Mavericks OS), and finally my external hard drive was not showing on finder, including the partitions (I have two of them). Almost losing my files on my USB external HD last week, thankfully it worked after long time looking for a solution on Google.
