invalid BS_jmpBoot error on Mac OS X disc utility

This error showed up when a friend asked me to fix this 2 TB Western Digital MyBook Studio Edition Drive. The drive can not be mounted, repaired or verified.

Long story short there is no way to simply fix this error. You can try with TestDisk but I had no luck with it. Don’t jump out of the window just yet since your data is most likely still there. Only the partition table on the drive is damaged and all your data is still in place. Any Data Recovery tool will be able to get your data out of that damaged partition.

    Yesterday i had around 4500 songs in iTunes. Today I have none. When I opened i tunes I got a message saying “iTunes quit unexpectedly…

    Can i get my damaged itunes library recovered using the same software??

    just give it a shot with one of the recovery tools – you might not get the library it self back, but should be able to get the mp3s back if the drive is not fully corrupted. and always backup. storage is so cheap these days.
