Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks failed - disk is damaged and can't be repaired.
Hello,
I'm afraid the answer is exactly what I don't want. But here is my situation.
I've been trying to download and install Mavericks - I was running Snow Leopard. My system was working fine - I wanted to upgrade so that I could run a game on it - but it required Mavericks.
Finally, it looked like Mavericks was installing. Once I restarted my computer, I got the following message:
"Install Failed. OS X could not be installed on your computer (there's a big scary yellow triangle with an exclaimation point in it below this). The OS X upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired. After your computer restarts, back up your data, erase your disk, and try installing again. Click Restart to restart your computer and try installing again."
Every time I restart, I get the same message, I can't back up my data and erase my disk like it wants me to; it won't let me. I can't get back to my normal computer. I've tried restarting in Safe Mode, but it doesn't work - it just keeps restarting over and over again. If my computer is really this determined to not let me have Mavericks, fine, but I at least want my old computer back. As it is now, I can't do anything on it besides restart it.
If I could just get to Finder, I could save some files and just reformat it - if the hard disk can be repaired. Even if it can't, I just need my documents. Here is the Installer Log:

Thank you for any help you can give me.
You are never going to have the option to repair a disk if you are booted from the same disk.
I think the place to start is boot off your Snow Leopard DVD install disk by holding down the C key on boot up.
Under Utilities drop down menu you will have access to Disk Utility.
From here you will have the option to repair Disk (ie not grayed out.)
option: Either insert and wait for the Mac OS X Install DVD window and double-click the Install icon; or power down, then start up while holding down the "C" key. Either way, that takes a few minutes.

The OSX upgrade couldn't be started because the disk is damaged and can't be repaired.
I'm getting the above error message after trying many different "fixes" described on message boards. Here's the issue: I have a Macbook Pro that developed a problem with an endless boot cycle. The solution ended up being to wipe the drive using Disk Utility. I then reinstalled OSX from a Snow Leopard disk, and the computer appeared to be working normally. Then, when I attempted to upgrade to Mavericks from the App Store, I get this message when the computer tries to reboot and install the OS. I have tried verifying and repairing the disk, resetting NVRAM/PRAM, resetting the SMC...but always I get the following error message:
Install Failed
OSX could not be installed on your computer
The OSX upgrade couldn't be started because the dis Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired
Curious if anyone has experienced this problem or has a possible fix. Thanks for your helpI did not verify/repair from Snow Leopard...simply reinstalled then attempted to download/install Mavericks from the App Store. Having seen this suggestion, I've now rebooted into recovery mode, and when I try to verify/repair, it aborts both processes and I get the respective errors: "The volume couldnot be verified completely" and "Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."

Macbook Pro keeps on rebooting after upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
After I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, my early 2010 MBP keeps on rebooting after 30 secs when it's connected to LAN/WIFI. But when it's not connected to any internet source it works fine. Please help.

I upgraded from snow leopard to mavericks only to find that my backup files of all my CS3 indesign, illustrator, photoshop wo't run, how do I uninstall mavericks and get my old system back. I retired from graphics a few years back but still have old clients I do work for and maintain files for. Would not have upgraded if I had known of the incompatability.
You did not due any due dilligence to investigate if your legacy apps would run, you should upgrade your apps. However if you feel you have to downgrade back to SL then click

Mail folders missing after upgrading from snow leopard to mavericks.
I seem to have lost my mail folders after the upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks.
Are they hidden? if not is there any way to recover them from TimeMachine?
thankssorry, I found them: by clicking "On my Mac" - show.

I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks OS X, and lost all of my "on my mac" mail boxes. How do I restore them?
The answer was more complicated. I had to have an Apple Care tech help me onscreen. Had to go to Time Machine to restore (which I had tried, but couldn't find the right files to import. The Mail icon was barred). They helped me find them. It was very complicated, with many steps involved. I never could have figured it out on my own. Even the tech was not sure how, or if it would work. And it took about 1/2 hour for the stuff to download. But, the problem was solved eventually

Can I still upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, with Yosemite out?
Hi there,
my girlfriend is running Snow Leopard (10.6.8 I believe) on a MacBook 2009. Now she finally wanted an upgrade to a newer OS. However, I've read in several reviews that Yosemite is not running very smoothly on some older Macs. So I thought upgrading to Mavericks might be a better deal.
So my question is:
How can I upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks? Apparently you can't do it over the AppStore, since you can now only download Yosemite. Is there another way?
Thanks!Nope. Mavericks is no longer available for download unless you had downloaded it in the past. If Yosemite doesn't do well on an older Mac, then neither will Mavericks. Consider rolling back to Snow Leopard.
You may try calling Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. They may be able to help you with getting Mavericks for now. -
I'm unable install mountain lion on my computer. Every time it says "OSX Mountain Lion couldn't be installed, because the disk \ is damaged and can't be repaired. Click restart to restart your computer and try installing again." So I press the only button listed as an option, it restarts, and the same screen comes up again. I can't make mountain lion go away...I've tried many times. What is wrong with my computer? It's stuck like this and I can't even get snow leopard back on there if I wanted to because I can't get away from the same screen. Please help : (
Insert your OS installer disk in the optical drive. Power the Mac down by holding down the power button. Then power back up and hold down the 'c' key so the MBP boots to the installer disk. From Disk Utility you should do a Repair Disk. If DU successfully repairs the disk quit the installer and reboot your Mac. You should update to 10.6.8 prior to upgrading to ML.

Then do your ML upgrade install. -
I understand that the newest OS X is Mavericks. I have refused to upgrade from Snow Leopard because I need Rosetta for some older applications I still use. In addition, I absolutely refuse to use iCloud (or anyother cloud service that uses servers resident in the USA). Can anyone give me a good reason to upgrade to Mavericks?
Your other option is to run a virtual machine using Snow Leopard server.
Parallels
VirtualBox
VM Fusion
Snow Leopard server for use with the above. Call 1-800-692-7753 and order part number MC588Z/A. Cost is $19.99 + sales tax and shipping.
Virtual Machine for 10.7/10.8 -

Mavericks install failed, says disk is damaged and can't be repaired. Help.
My install failed early in the setup process, and said that my HD is damaged and can't be repaired. It reboots in install mode, I go to disk utility, and can't run repair. I've tried to boot to safe mode, but the progress bar goes about a third of the way and it just powers off, so no way to get in to backup or do anything on this machine. My time machine backup is old, but mostly I just have music that I can redownload from iTunes or re-rip from cd, so not worried about data loss. So do I reformat? How would I get an OS on there again, since there would be no way to boot up or get an OS Download onto that machine? This is the first time I miss the old cd/dvd disk distribution. I'm stumped, any help and guidance is appreciated. It's a MacBook Pro if that matters.
Have you got back to restore from if all else fails?
Try booting from the grey restore disk that came with the Mac: disk in drive and restart holding down the 'c' key. Hopefully it'll boot, albeit slowly. At the first screen select your language and from the menu bar of the next screen choose Utilities>Disk Utility. Select Macintosh HD>Repair Disk. Hopefully DU wil repair the errors. Click on repair disk again until you get a clean pass. Try to restart as normal from the Apple menu. -
How do I backup to my external hd on 10.6.8 if the disk is damaged and can't be repaired?
Hi! So, I'll get straight to the point. I'm running 10.6.8 on my mac, which is about 5 years old. I attempted to install OSX Mavericks last night, so I could update some of my software. Anyways, the computer restarts and opens up the installer for OSX Mavericks, but after about a minute of installing, it shows that the Mavericks install failed. The upgrade couldn't be started because the disk Macintosh HD is damaged and can't be repaired.
Could someone tell me (step by step) how to back up all of my data, erase the disk, and install again? I have an external HD by the way.
Help would be much appreciated!So, essentially you're saying that I need to download one of these programs to my external hd. But, how do I boot it from my mac if I can't get past the installation screen of Mavericks? I'm running on my other mac right now, if that helps. I've tried to use disk utility to repair, but it's greyed out. I honestly just want to retrieve all of my data, wipe the drive, and then install a new one. I just want to know how to do that.

I want to upgrade from snow leopard to Mavericks, but only Yosemite is available!!
How do I upgrade snow leopard to Mavericks on one of my older macbooks? I note that Mavericks is no longer available via the App store, only Yosemite, and I do not want the latter. My latest macbooks all have Mavericks pre-installed, and I want parity on all.
OS X 10.9 Mavericks is no longer an available, downloadable OS version.
You can choose to decide and download the free OS X 10.10 Yosemite OR pay to download either OS X 10.7 Lion or OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion.
Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
OS X 10.7 Lion system requirements
Purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6106Z/A/os-x-lion
To use OS X 10.7 Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
7 GB of available disk space
2 GB of RAM
To install OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion, 10.9 Mavericks (free upgrade, but currently unavailable) or OS X 10.10 Yosemite (currently available free upgrade) you need one of these Macs:
OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
Your Mac also needs:
OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
8 GB or more of available space
Next,
If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
Also, check for app compatibilty here.
http://roaringapps.com/
If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall these apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and if you purchased a download code, input that code.
You can then begin the download and installation process of installing the newer versions of OS X from the Mac App Store.
Good Luck! -
Upgrade from Snow Leopard to Mavericks: Volume cannot be used as a start volume
Hi there!
I'm having a triple boot Mac-Linux-Win on a 2010 iMac. Each is on a partition. From Snow Leopard, I'm trying to install OS X Mavericks via App Store. The install Mavericks button has been added to my dock after the download completed.
However, when choosing a target volume, it says that my current Mac volume may not be used as a start volume. File system is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and I'm having 168 GB free space on it. Partition table is GUID.
What's wrong?
Cheers,

You should always have a backup of your HD no matter what.
You are saying you ran the Disk Utility from the installer disk- Repair Disk and it failed?
Disk Warrior a lot of times can repair what Disk Utility can not.
