Hi all,
I have an old 3TB external disk that I used for a few things (backups mostly), and for some reason one of the partitions is on HFS Plus (it says:Mac OS Expanded (with journaling) ) and the other one I don't remember (maybe APFS?).
My iMac had macOS High Sierra and I used OpenCore legacy patcher to upgrade my 2011 iMac to Monterey, all went fine but in the meantime I noticed that missing partition...
My HFS Plus partition is all good and checked but the disk, if I show all devices and do first aid it fails, error fixing partition map, not possible change mapping -69874, and from what I read they all metion bootint into recovery.
Reading this: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/partition-disk-disappeared.2234920/, I start to think that missing partition is on: HFS+, with some suggestions to go to Recovery or Internet Recovery and try to fix it.
Problem is, when I select recovery boot in OpenCore Legacy Patcher, I get a black screen and I can't do anything.
Any ideas? Am I in the wrong direction here? Help out a macOs noob like me :)
Also, I have a very faint idea that, sometimes that partition even in High Sierra, sometimes it "disapeared" for a while and then it showed (like osx was recovering it in the background), and not sure I went digging into some logs and maybe triggering in some recovery in terminal or maybe in recovery but can't remember anything anymore
