Recently I updated my macbook to OS X El Capitan. Is there any other way to get access to my hard drive again? What could be the root cause for this malfunctioning?

On Windows I do not see a connection at all even the sound for a connected device pops up. As additional information I do not even see the typical icon on the desktop that a hard drive is connected to my macbook.

After telling the software to start the formatting process again it immediately stops due to another failure message which I have attached to this post. I can confirm that the video instruction is showing similar steps that I have done before while trying to erase the hard drive. Take a look at the videos and see if they help.

Have you tried the drive on Windows to see if it works there? There are a many good videos about how to format you external drive on Youtube. It sounds like it proceeded to erase but failed at some point, so if you had any data on the drive it is most likely gone. You said you clicked on erase which would have erased any data which was on your drive. So you have tried to reformat your hard drive. When you updated to El Capitan you may have needed to reinstall one of these programs to make your external drive compatible. If as you say your external hard drive worked on both Mac and Windows, it may have been using one of these 2 programs.

Two such programs are Paragon NTFS for Mac and Tuxera NTFS for Mac. Mac cannot read NTFS format, but there are a few programs with will allow you to use NTFS on Mac. So another option is NTFS which Windows uses. Also sometime Mac or PC can have troubles with them. Both are compatible with both Mac and PC, but they both have some limitations.

Hi Cw888: If your external drive worked on both Windows and Mac it may have been formatted as FAT32 or exFAT. I am thankful for every idea/response which leads to a possible solution. Number one prio is to bring it back to work again. I would like to repair my hard drive but I would be also fine with formatting it. FYI: My device is password protected (TOSHIBA software) and worked before on both Mac and Windows.

Also here the operation fails due to the inability of writing to the last block of the device. It is recognised on Windows and Mac but it shows following message after being plugged in: 'The disk you inserted was not readable by this computer.'Īfter pressing the button 'Initialise' I tried 'First Aid' which failed and 'Erase' as well.
