Can't open '/dev/rdisk1' for writing (Resource busy)

I got a Macbook Pro, install win7 on boot camp. When I wanted to resinstall win7, I accidently click on Recover button and it deleted all my partitions and become one, which run Mac OS. I tried to recover my data partition. On google, I found some guy do it with 'pdisk' command. I followed steps but when I tried to use pdisk:
sudo pdisk /dev/rdisk0
and use command 'i':
i got a message: can't open '/dev/rdisk0' for writing (Resource busy)
So I borrowed a Mac, connected it with my Macbook through FireWire, and set my Mac in 'Target Disk Mode' and use pdisk again:
sudo pdisk /dev/rdisk1
when i use command 'i', i still got the message:
can't open '/dev/rdisk1' for writing (Resource busy).
Can anyone know what is this problem? Do I need to extract my hard disk from my Mac?
Please tell me about it!
Thanks!

Hi,
Thank you for youre answer, that was very useful. It helped me find the solution. The file I wanted to edit was downloaded with Inno Script Studio, which by installation changed the attributes of the file to none writable. So simple by setting a parameter
in this scripture I was given write access.
Best regards

Can't open a file for writing in the ProgramData folder

Hi,
I have a simpe text file in the ProgramData directory that I need both to read and write to.
SHGetFolderPath(0, CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA, 0, SHGFP_TYPE_CURRENT, userpath);
PathAppend (userpath, TEXT("Testfolder/gnsh.dat")); licensefile = _wfopen(userpath, L"r+");
However, the only way I have been able to open the file both in read and write modus, is to run the program as an administrator. But this is not a practical solution. The question is then if there is a way to open this file in both moduses when running
the program in the normal way, not as an administrator.
Thanks in advance.

"Attempt to open locked file for writing, Result Code = -54" when importing

I get this error box when importing audio files into a logic session over my network.
+Attempt to open locked file for writing+
+Result Code = -54+
The finder is capable of copying the files over to the local machine, at which point I can successfully import them into my local logic session, but Logic is incapable of doing the same. Strange and annoying.

Unfortunately there isn't official commercial support for Mozilla Thunderbird from Mozilla Corp.. I believe some contributors here ([http://mozilla.magicfab.ca myself included]) do offer such support, though.
''Before doing anything else, please do exit Thunderbird completely and [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/profiles-tb#w_backing-up-a-profile backup the profile folder] - it contains all your email, settings, filters, etc.''
Regarding your issue, it looks like the mail folder information may be corrupt. In the left pane, in the folder list, right-click on the Sent folder and select '''Properties'''. Choose "'''Rebuild Index'''" or "'''Repair Folder'''" - do you even have that option? Once done, exit TB completely and restart it.
Updating to a newer version will help anyone help you, if only because some of the documentation for older Thunderbird versions is a bit harder to find and testing to try & reproduce your problem will be harder. Don't do this just yet, though :)
After this issue has been addressed I would suggest considering using IMAP if your provider allows you to, and of course archiving your email to Local Folders and doing regular backups of your profile.
If you want to arrange commercial support, contact me via the link I provided above and we can discuss rapidly. Otherwise I am fine continuing here, however I can only reply as time permits. I am in Montreal (so, EST time zone).

Nothing should be lost... However... it is both Prudent and Recommended that a backup should have been created and maintained.

Apple dropped playback support for .swf formats in QuickTime almost ten years ago.
Adobe Flash Player is the only way to view them.

Cisco Security MARS 110 error - sfdisk:Cannot open /dev/sda for reading

HI when installing the MARS ver 6.0.1 we are getting this error sfdisk:Cannot open /dev/sda for reading, but found that this a bug for that ver BUG id : CSCso92379 - Cannot open /dev/sda for reading" error seen on installing Gen1 GC
So we tried installing the ver 5.3 now also getting the same error, pls let me know is this a hardware issue or a bug

It sounds like there may either be a problem with the RAID controller [configuration] or, though unlikely a hardware failure. You'd need to check the RAID controller BIOS to see if there's a hard disk drive problem or RAID configuration problem. Also check RAID controller is damaged as disks are not recognized at all.
Rebuild the Raid and reimage the appliances.

HT1529 how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

The reason it will not be in the sent folder is, it failed to send.
If it failed to send, then you will see the Outbox icon. 'Pending' would be a more descriptive name.
When it eventually sends, the Outbox will not show in the Mail app interface.
Until it is sent it will stay stuck in the Outbox.
If it refuses to send, you can manually delete it in Finder, at the location ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
Close Mail first, before you search for that email using the Finder.
