I suspect not, but thought I would ask?---- fdisk -l /dev/sdb will list all of the partitions and if I recall correctly, there are a few partitions on an Apple HFS drive. One of them will be large and that's the one you will want to mount. Note that in the past, if the last mount was a dirty dismount, I was unable to mount it in anything but read only mode. Crai
Fdisk tells me there's no valid partition table. I removed and replaced this drive because it has been erratic and the Mac shop told her it was defective and it's total failure was imminent!
I can however mount it as Ian suggests and I can display and navigate through the directories.
I did not know about hfsplus and that was the key to getting this far. She still has a few files on it she would like to retrieve if possible. I don't know which ones however but being able to get this far encourages me. She may be looking for image files that I might be able to get to? She is not here presently but at least I wont look like a complete idiot if I ask what she needs from it.
Thanks all. Bob Goodwin
