In order to recover lost data from your startup drive, Disk Drill requires read-only access. To grant this level of access on macOS 10.13+ you need to disable file system protection. This is part of the System Integrity Protection module (SIP or “rootless”) introduced in macOS El Capitan and substantially severed in High Sierra, Mojave. This is a purely temporary measure and can be accomplished with relative ease by anyone.
Note: Partially disabling SIP is absolutely safe! Once you are done with data recovery, you can re-enable it. |
