My Mac OSX is down, but the data on the hard disk is important to me. I boot the Mac from USB drive, in which Ubuntu is installed. How can I mount the Mac hard disk and get the data out of it?
I tried to use the command sudo fdisk -l
to check the Mac hard drive, and then use sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/xxx
to mount the disk to /mnt/xxx
, but it failed with the following system message:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so.
/dev/sda1
instead of/dev/sda
.
