    Hi guys,

    Hard drive in Mac is corrupt and I can't repair the disk using the disk utility.
    If I boot the Mac up in Single user mode I can see the files (terminal).

    I am trying to mount my external drive (hfs formatted) but its not mounting.

    I am using this command.
    mount -t hfs /dev/disk3s1 /Volumes/MS

    If I then use the "mount" command I only see the internal drive listed.
    Any one any ideas?

    Sorry. Was trying to mount the wrong device.

    Fixed.
