I have a 1TB external HD that I partitioned into a FAT32 partition and an ext4 partition. Apparently the file system of the ext4 is damaged and I cannot access it. The disk utility on the drive looks like this:
I though I could use this answer: External hard drive won't mount, but as you can see, for some reason I do not have the option to check the partition. BTW, formatting is not an option for me if there is a way to recover most of the files.
