My external USB drive failed. I made a .dmg image file of the drive using disk utility. Later I was not able to mount the .dmg image. I used terminal
hdiutil attach -noverify -nomount name.dmg
diskutil list
diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk4
then received the following message:
Volume(s) mounted successfully
However, I cant see the drive or access its contents through Finder. Disk Utility shows the drive as ghost but I still cant mount it using diskutility.
Terminal tells me that the drive is mounted and constantly shows it in the diskutil list
.
pwd
is not the mounted .dmg
image. I don't know how to enter into the mounted image drive to see its contents. So in case what I said sounds like I see the files in the mounted image no this is not the case. I do not know how to access or even change the pwd within Terminal. I was hoping to see the mounted drive through Finder but I do not see that.
So I need help as to how to find a way to access the mounted image drive if it was really mounted.
Terminal says that it was and it shows it under diskutil list
as a /dev/disk4
.
Can someone please help me access the files on this drive?
ls -la
?/Volumes
.cd
to change the directory. Usels
to list the content of a directory. Usecp
to copy files.
