@jkrosado this is 3 pages of people who are happy about your solution because it worked... I had pulled out the usb connections for my 5 tera hard drive while it was writing a movie file --- I lost everything on it but that's ok because I got those 5 terabytes back,, I did the terminal code and when it was mounting set it to the exfat type drive in an erase and then formatted for the macbook --- the whole time it looked like the disk was dead and would never work again,,.. thanks again.,..
