Select Local Disk - Nothing Detected | macOS Catalina

[rogersillyface]

Hello There,

I hope you are well!

I am reposting in this category after not recieving any assitance and realising it may be because it was in the wrong section.

Anyway, I am trying to get Autopsy to scan an old Mac. I have managed to get Autopsy setup and working - to a point. When I try to add a data source, nothing comes up. Refreshing does nothing.

I did find this for Linux:

When I’m on the “Add Data Source” screen, I try to select a disk but it says “Local drives were not detected. Auto-detection not supported on this OS or admin privileges required”. I don’t know how to execute Autopsy with admin privileges. I’m using Linux (Debian). This is probably a rookie question, but I really don’t know how. Any pointers? Additional information: when I try to run from root, I get this: ./…/platform/lib/nbexec: WARNING: environment variable DISPLAY is not set I set my u…

But of course this relates to Linux. But I wonder if I can add something similar to the Shell Script in Automator that will give me root access or the MacOS equivalent - I suspect it must be a permissions issue?

I tried adding sudo -s to the command line in Automator to no effect. I have just tried adding Autopsy into the Security & Privacy but that hasn’t helped either.

Can anybody help?

Thank you in advance,

For anybody else in this situation, using Logical Mode allows the user to select whatever disk they desire.
