I have a Western Digital 500gb external hard drive, with 2 partitions, 'KAINARC' and 'JUNGLEMAC', connected to my Intelmac (Tiger 10.4.11 via my firewire, i have connected via usb but the problem is still the same). I may have shut down the drive improperly to cause this situation.
KAINARC now appears on my desktop, but the partition of JUNGLEMAC does not. I go to disk utility and both partitions are visable, KAINARC is mounted but JUNGLEMAC is not. I cannot mount JUNGLEMAC.
When i try to verify and repair the partition I get the message:
Verify and Repair disk JUNGLEMAC
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
1 non HFS volume checked
1 volume could not be repaired because of an error
So I try to verify and repair the partition KAINARC but get this message:
Verify and Repair disk KAINARC
Repairing disk failed with error Could not unmount disk
So I have opened diskwarrior (unbelievably long time to start up and scan disks) in the hope of fixing the hard drive, but when i try to repair I get the error message 'unable to unmount KAINARC'.
I have tried other repair/recover programs but get the same message: 'Could not unmount disk KAINARC'
Im asuming that to fix the hard drive it has to be able to unmount KAINARC.
Does anyone have any ideas of how I can fix this problem. I would normally reformat but I have a lot of stuff on the hard drive that I dont wont to lose.

To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu . If your Mac isn't compatible with OS X El Capitan, the installer will let you know.
The 3.x version of Any Connect I have installed is for Mac. Anyconnect for mac el capitan. I have read some stuff about ASA and my limited understanding what that it was tied to a firewall, but I don't have a fire wall turned on.Some posters have stated they were able to get AnyConnect to work on El Capitan, but they had to go into the root areas of Mac, and I am not knowledgeable enough on Apple/Mac products to do that without step by step directions and screen captures (i.e. Hand holding).I unfortunately do not have a license with Cisco to download the V4 of Any Connect for Mac, that does work, I have an account, I am just not able to purchase.
Make a backup
Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.
Get connected
It takes time to download and install OS X, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.
