Here we share five problems and their solutions when the internal hard drive cannot mount on the Mac system.

1. Failure in a disk partition

In Mac, a disk utility tool is used to format or create hard drive partitions. When some issue occurs in the drive partition, the process can fail.

2. Virus attack

One of the major problems while mounting the hard drive in Mac is caused by a virus or malware attack. Use a reliable antivirus and scan the disk to block the viruses.

3. Damaged file system

Once the file system of a Mac hard drive is damaged, it won’t be able to store any data. This way, the Mac would not mount on the device. You can have a professional MacBook data recovery to resolve this issue.

4. System crash

When a Mac operating system malfunctions, it is not likely to mount a hard drive. To access Mac again, reset the NVRAM, which is used to store quick access settings. Reboot Mac and hold command +option + P + R keys.

5. Corrupted catalog file

The catalog file in the Mac system is liable to store record files of partitioned volumes in a hard drive.
