hey guys
i have a problem with my disk
just seconds ago, i plug in my 2TB disk with USB (FAT32)
but i cant see it in finder
so i check the Disk Utility
i saw it said "not mounted"
and i tried to use"first aid" to fix it
but it just give me a -69845 error code
i cant erase it , same if i use terminal to erase it
and i cant use partition to fix it, too
it always give me 69875
how can i fix it?
Try resetting the SMC: Reset the System Management Controller (SMC) on your Mac - Apple Support.
If you are able to mount it, use that opportunity to extract as much undamaged content from that disk as possible. The hard disk itself cannot be fixed and at least some data is already irretrievably gone.

On what device and what operating system was this drive formatted as Fat 32 ?
Was it formatted on an Apple Computer, Windows or Linux computer ?
What happens when the drive is moved to the other computer ? Does the drive work ?
If Yes, suggest reformatting as exFat and Master Boot Record and then attempt to use it on the Apple computer. Do is work again ?
If not and depending on the age of the drive - it may have failed.
so i dont know where
2. it is same when i moved it to other computer
3. i cant reformat it, too. it give me 69875 again.
disk problem
