Thanks for the reply. # hpfsck -v /dev/sdc2 *** Checking Volume Header: hpfsck: hpfsck: error writing to medium (Bad file descriptor) Nothing further. The Mac system where this drive was used is similarly baffled and offers no progress. Lacking of knowledge of HFS, I wonder whether the file system directory is broken. If the drive is left in this state, the owner will "recycle"; meaning it will go to a smelting furnace. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelting The next obvious step for me is attempt reformatting with FAT or ext. Otherwise, wipe, partition and then format. Thx, ... P. -- VoIP: +1 604 670 0140 work: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/User:PeterEasthope
