HD Mounting Error Message
 

Trying to mount a HD that my MAC won't read. Keep getting this error message (I promise the link is a photo of my screen with the error message).

Any advice would be most appreciated.

Thanks!!!

It tells you in the error what is wrong either the drive is dead (the I/O hardware error) or the ntfs file system needs checking, by a windows machine I would think.

Instead of that ugly -o perhaps go simpler.

# mount -t ntfs -o umask=0222 /dev... /mnt...

That should mount it read-only. Although with all that dmraid stuff perhaps it's encrypted with bitlocker or something else exotic. Or it's not ntfs.

# mount -t auto -o ro /dev/... /mnt/...

Where ... is whatever applies in your circumstance, not a literal parameter.
