I have a HDD from a Mac Laptop that is physically okay, but the file system is corrupt. It has the usual FAT32 partition, but the main partition is APFS and has the label 'Diagnostics' but is the full size of the drive. However scanning the partition gives no file system, just RAW files. Just wondered if a Mac guru out there could explain what might have happened and what the 'Diagnostics' partition might refer to/or how it was created?

Is the program you're scanning with able to read APFS? I've found programs that can't often show it as a diagnostic partition, which is incorrect.

We use the latest versions of R-Studio and R-Explorer (and a Mac with APFS installed), they both support APFS.
