This message shows up when I try to mount an external hard drive to my laptop through Disk Utility: com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error 53249. Yet the exact same external hard drive can be mounted to other computers (both Mac and PC). How do I fix com.apple.diskmanagement.disenter error 53249? Does this process damage or change any of the files on the hard drive?
