Does anything appear under ‘external’ in Disk Utility left column?

 Hi Peter,
 
 This will take many try’s, but persist with it. You might need a glass or 
 two of wine or beer Peter.
 
 1. Connect the external drive to your wife’s MacBook
 2. Open Disk Utility > in the left column, select the volume of the 
 external drive
 3. Click ‘Repair Disk’ 
 You will keep receiving the Error: ‘Disk Utility can’t repair this Disk 
 etc because the drive has not been ejected properly’
 But keep hitting Repair Disk until it eventually runs correctly through 
 and completes the process of repairing the drive.
 4. Disconnect the Drive correctly and remove it from the USB port.
 
 Let’s know if it gets rid of the Notification notice when the external is 
 connected again to the MacBook.
 
 Regards,
 Ronni

Re: Disk not recognised

[Peter Crisp]

Just had a quick look with Disk Utility. When the USB is plugged in, nothing 
appears down the left side of DU. No volume represented at all - not even 
greyed out.

The volume of the external drive will be grayed out until the Disk is 
‘verified’ and then ‘Repaired’. But the external drive should show as it’s the 
volume which hasn’t been ejected correctly.

Hey Ronni and Peter.
I just had a pint of Llandogo Tow Red Ale brought from Wales by my son.
Best beer I have ever tried ! YUM.

I am sure I could enjoy a few of these whilst hitting “Repair Disk"

Re: Disk not recognised

[Peter Crisp]

Ok ha ha ha thanks for that Ronni. I had opened Disk Utility but the volume 
doesn’t show in the first instance to attempt a repair. But I will keep trying 
to get it to mount.

I am off to Rushton Park to see the WCE V Dockers Derby soon and will sit down 
with a wine to have a crack at it again.

Regards

Re: Disk not recognised

[Ronni Brown]

Hi Peter,

This will take many try’s, but persist with it. You might need a glass or two 
of wine or beer Peter.

1. Connect the external drive to your wife’s MacBook
2. Open Disk Utility > in the left column, select the volume of the external 
drive
3. Click ‘Repair Disk’ 
You will keep receiving the Error: ‘Disk Utility can’t repair this Disk etc 
because the drive has not been ejected properly’
But keep hitting Repair Disk until it eventually runs correctly through and 
completes the process of repairing the drive.
4. Disconnect the Drive correctly and remove it from the USB port.

Let’s know if it gets rid of the Notification notice when the external is 
connected again to the MacBook.

Regards,
Ronni

Disk not recognised

[Peter Crisp]

Hi folks, last night my daughter inadvertently when moving my wife’s MacBook 
with external drive (Photos library) attached, unbeknown to her had caused a 
glitch in the connection to the MBP - probably just wiggled the USB lead. When 
I went to look at it later there was a notification “Disk not ejected 
properly”. Of course she had nothing at all to do with it, it was the fairies. 
Anyway, after that I tried to get the MBP to recognise the external drive and 
it wont recognise it. It wont mount to my wife’s MBP. It mounts fine to my own 
MBP and content is seen as expected. 

I have done the PRAM and SMC controller resets and numerous reboots and still 
no luck mounting the drive in either of the two USB ports. 

Any tips on this please?

Regards
