IO error Not booting

Hi,
I got an iMac in march 09 with 10.5.6 worked with it for a month and repacked it in it's box for about 2 months and yesterday when i took it out of its box it hasn't been booting up at all.
I tried resetting the PRAM tried to boot with X didn't work.
when i boot in verboose mode i get this message:
AppleAHCIDiskQueueManager::setPowerState(ox6bc9d00, 2 ->1) timed out after 120543 ms
and sometimes i get this message too
jnl: disk3s2: flushing fs disk buffer returned 0x5
kernel disk0s2: I/O error
i tried accessing it in target mode it crashed my other computer's finder.
since then it doesn't mount or show up at all in disk utility.
I tried fsck -f in single user mode it seemed a little slow but everything was fine.
when i do ls i see all my files on the harddrive but i still can't access them via target mode.
can anybody tell me if this problem is form the drive or ATA controller ?
Thank you

HI,
Possibly the drive or logic board...
Try booting from your install disk and check the hard drive for errors.
Insert the installer disk and Restart, holding down the "C" key until grey Apple appears.
Go to Installer menu (Panther and earlier) or Utilities menu (Tiger and later) and launch Disk Utility.
Select your HDD (manufacturer ID) in the left panel.
Select First Aid in the Main panel.
(Check S.M.A.R.T Status of HDD at the bottom of right panel. It should say: Verified)
Click Repair Disk on the bottom right.
If DU reports disk does not need repairs quit DU and restart.
If DU reports errors Repair again and again until DU reports disk is repaired.
When you are finished with DU, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Manager.
Select your start up disk and click Restart
While you have the Disk Utility window open look at the bottom of the window. You will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% free disk space.
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test. http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/aht.html
Mac OS X Boot Errors
Luckily your Mac is within the one year limited warranty if you need to take it in for repairs.

    I am in Mavericks disk utility recovery mode as my mac book pro will not boot up & stays on the Apple grey screen . When I verify disk permissions I get
    Open error 5:"input/ output error" on syst with over 50 of this messages & still counting . Disk Utility says 1 minute
    But this has been going on for over 10 mins .
    I can not verify disk or repair disk .
    I have tried to reinstall mavericks operating system but it says my hard drive is locked which is very strange .
    Does anyone know what is going on here ?
    My system looks like it has been totally corrupted . Thanks Andrew

    Could be. The "lock" isn't actually looking for a password.
    WARNING: This will completely erase the ENTIRE hard drive.
    What you would need to do is boot to recovery > disk utility > select the MAIN drive on the left side > partition > change partition layout from CURRENT to 1 PARTITION > ensure on the right side it says Format : Mac OSX Extended (Journaled) then push APPLY.
    Then if it will allow us, close the windows until you see the 4 options popup again and select "Reinstall Mac OS X" select the Mac HD and you should be good to go!

    If you want to solve your problems, unjailbreak. And don't do it again, because jailbreaking causes problems as you read about in that article. You can try Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Satellite Pro M10 will not boot again and comes up with the error message

    My Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 notebook will not boot again and comes up with the error message "load error" when I push the power button.
    The problem arised after installation of "symantec system works" and trying to restart windows XP professional to make the installed program executable.
    What can I do to get the notbook restart again?

    Hi everyone
    If you cannot acces to the boot menu by pressing F8 you can try to recover the the master boot record from Windows Xp professional installation Cd, to do this:
    Attention: don't run these commands if you have more than one operating systems running in your laptop.
    Boot from Windows Xp installation cd
    Choose repair installation from console by pressing "C" key.
    A console will open asking you for administrator password, insert the password and press enter.
    Run de command: FIXMBR (It will write a new boot record)
    Run de command: FIXBOOT (It will write a new boot file)
    Restart the laptop and now windows should start without problems.

    My Mac OS Lion 10.7 FileVaulted HD does not boot, prohibitory sign, stop sign appears some minutes after boot starts. Disk Utility repair shows four error messages:
    Unable to bootstrap transaction group 2517: inconsistent crosscheck
    No valid commit checkpoint found
    The volume xxxxxxxxxxxxxx(here it shows physical volume number) was found corrupt and can not be repaired.
    Problems were encountered during repair of the partition map
    Error: Storage system verify or repair failed.
    (the same with 2518, 2519 and 2520 transaction group)
    I suppose it is serious bug in Mac OS Lion managing FileVault and wonder what the help could be?

    Most likely culprit is your Lacie drives which are notorious for flaky power supplies which cause just the sort of erratic behaviour that you describe. Have had similar issues myself. Lacie has been good about replacing my power converter-- twice. If you have seven of them, good luck finding the bad one or more. Like I said, the behaviour is erratic. Sometimes it'll work sometimes not. I can't comment on Samsung drives because I've never used them and have never heard anything about them. Same with Softraid. Why not just use Disk Utility. Sounds like you're ready for an external hardware raid. This will be much faster, much more reliable, and may even be cheaper than seven firewire drives. Check out G Tech, and Maxx Digital for starters.
    Best of luck

  • MacMini will not boot....Chime, no error messages..2 min later chime again.

    Hi all,
    My MacMini will not boot....
    When I power it up it chimes, the grey screen appears with the apple showing and the spin thing under neath ........I wait forever, then it chimes again and repeats this cycle endlessly never making it to the finder window......no error messages
    Help!
    thanx,
    SvK
    ps: I'm running Leopard 10.5.0

    A few questions first:
    Which model of Mac mini is it, a G4 or Intel? Has it ever booted correctly after the 10.5 upgrade? How did you perform the 10.5 upgrade, was it an upgrade install or a clean install? Does it boot into Safe mode (holding the shift key down while booting)? Will it boot to the Leopard installer (holding the C key down during booting with the install disk inserted? Have you got a good backup of your data?

  • Battery Error 601 and Notebook will not boot

    My notebook will not bootup anymore.  It was running fine then I just closed the screen and went to class.  Usually this just puts it to sleep.  When I opened it back up, it would not start...  It was totally dead.  When I plug it into the charger, I see a "Pimrary Battery Error" 601 displayed for a few seconds and then it starts to bootup.  It never fully boots-up, it shuts off totally before I get past the little HP splash.
    When I plug the charger into the notebook, I see the charging orange LED for a little while, but then it switches to white and then back to orange and then totally off.   I have tried multiple chargers and it always does the same thing.
    Since the notebook will not boot even when plugged in, I am suspecting something in the charging system/main board more than the battery.  Is there anyway to tell which components are bad?
    This is an almost 2 year old Envy 4-1215dx, Product ID: D1A99UA#ABA 
    It's been a great notebook upto now...  Any ideas on what to check and how?
    Steve

    Here's a link with an explaination and troubleshooting steps for the error you are experiencing.
    HP Battery Alert
    You can also try a Hard Reset in order to get you PC to boot long enough to run a diagnostics.
    Hard Reset
    You may also try with the battery removed and just the AC Adapter.
    If nothing seems to work you can always try a new main battery since they usually are fairly inexpensive. Just Google the Part# shown on your battery.

    Please tell me there is a fix that does not involve buying a computer clean sweep program.

    Hi brigitta2,
    You might be getting the error message because of any of the following reasons:
    .dll files are corrupt or missing
    Attack of malware or other spyware
    Incorrect installation of applications
    Damaged Windows registry
    Old Windows device drivers that need to be updated
    The problem can be sorted if you know the exact reason behind the same. Please let me know the exact error message that appears on your screen.
    If the issue is with damaged files then you might need to replace them or if it is a system issue, then please take your laptop to an expert who can deal with system issues.

  • Error on boot: "Can not find script file "C:\Progra​mData\Leno​vo-20841.v​bs".

    Recently I'm getting an error dialog box on my T530 when I boot it into my OEM installation of Windows 8.  The window title bar is "Windows Script Host", and the error message is:
    Error on boot: "Can not find script file "C:\ProgramData\Lenovo-20841.vbs".
    I pulled up an old backup, and I do have that file, along with a number of other ones that are missing from that directory.  I'm attaching a screenshot of the files that are missing.  Not sure why they would have been deleted (I know I didn't do it manually).  Should I just restore the file?  What about the other ones?
    Thanks very much.

    I am getting a different VBS script error than the one listed above.
    Does anyone know how I can get this file?  or recreate it?
    I get a similar message saying that it can't find the file c:\programdata\Lenovo-11472.vbs
    Also, my wireless just randomly resets - sometimes very few minutes - after I've been using the system for a while.  It's brand new and I can't figure out what's going on.  Could this be the issue?
    When I restart, it stays stable for a while and then starts acting up again.
    Thanks for your help!

    And details : Invalid Node structure
                        Volume needs to be repaired error : Filesystem verify or repair failed.

  • Does not boot only beep error code 4-3-4-3 Model: M55 MT-M 8810-W8T

    Have a M55 MT-m 8810-W8T that does not display.
    Power i suppose is OK as it powers up and give beep code of 4-3-4-3. From what I found it is a PHOENIX BIOS Q3.07 OR 4.X version. From searching I can only find that it means that "Boot code was read OK'. After the beep code I still have no display. Have tried on-board VGA (without the PCIe videocard). Tried the PCIe videocard, different memory, reset CMOS ......but still cannot get to the BIOS not boot into Windows.
    So what does that exactly mean and how do I get the PC to boot up fully?
    Thanks for any help in advance.

    That usually means a memory error. Remove all of the memory and install one stick in the first slot. I have also overcome this error by "cleaning" the contacts of the memory module with the eraser of a pencil. Gently "scrub" the gold contacts at the botton of the DIMM, completely remove any residue and re-seat the module. It is possible you are mixing high and low density ram which could cause a situation like this.

    Many times I tried to simply update from 10.5.8 without any success. It starts and after few minutes ...

    my client libraries for oracle is in linux, but my server runs in WIN

    the xa trace gave the error initially as:
    ORACLE XA: Version 8.1.7.0.0. RM name = 'Oracle_XA'.

    so on checking the resources in the web i get that we need to set the
    $ORACLE_SID
    variable in the operating system.
    the $ORACLE_SID for the NT Oracle server was ORCL.so I set my linux
    $ORACLE_SID
    env variable to ORCL.On doing this I get the xa trace as
    ORACLE XA: Version 8.1.7.0.0. RM name = 'Oracle_XA'.

    so i guess there is a need to correctly set $ORACLE_SID which will help
    the application
    to correctly identify and connect to the database.am I in the right direction?
    someone please help!!
    + how to correctly set the $ORACLE_SID?
