Following your advice, I drill down all the folders (hundreds of them) without seeing any of my files. It took me most of the day Yesterday.
I can see the 4 UNTITLED partitions and similar data in each of them, but nothing I can recognize.
The only software that gives me something recognizable is Disk Drill. But it shows me all these thousand files, not the folders where they are. I want to reinstate all the Mac OS architecture as I am used to looking at it before.?
Quite a few years ago I had a problem with the external drive connected to my Dish DVR. That was formatted in Linux as that¡¯s what the Dish DVR runs on.
I got one of the installation disk images for Linux online, and set up my MacBook Pro to be able to start up from that.
Then I was able to view the files on the drive. I don¡¯t remember now just what I did with them - I think I copied them to another drive, and then used the DVR to format the drive, and then copied the files back - I know that whatever I did it worked and I got my saved TV shows back.
Maybe explore that and see if your drive makes any more sense when you look at it was a Linux operating system.
