Damaged snow leopard partition

Hello everyone!
Sorry if i make some mistake, i'm a french mac user. =)
I have a 2006 MBP and everything worked very well since this morning. I tried to boot on my snow leopard partition as usual but the grey screen with an apple and the loading icon didn't disapered. I tried to boot on my bootcamp partition, it worked very well.
After a quick look on some forums, i tried to reset the PRAM (alt+cmd+p+r i think) and i tried to reinstall snow leopard by booting on the instalation cd. The instalation failed (it just freezed at 41 minutes left) so i restarted my MBP and now, the "hard drive utiliy program" tells me that the partition is damaged.
I've just made an "image" of my disk on my external drive but it is also damaged...
Does anybody know how i could save all my documents before reseting all my snow leopard partition?
Thanks!!

Hi Goeland,
If you can't boot into Snow Leopard there's limited options:
Run Disk Repair from Disk Utility (when booted off the OS installation media)
Remove the HD from the computer and mount it externally (on another computer) using a USB enclosure or SATA drive dock/sled.
Attempt to mount the drive using Target Disk Mode over FireWire with another Mac that has FireWire and extract the content on the drive
Run a 3rd party utility like Drive Genius or Disk Warrior and attempt to "repair" the existing file/folder tree structure that appears to have been corrupted.

  • Can't Boot from Snow Leopard Partition

    I have a Macbook Pro from 2008. It previously just had one partition, with Lion on it.
    I created a new partition for Snow Leopard
    I installed Snow leopard from a retail disk on the second partition. The installation went fine, and I got the message at the end that the installation was successful, and to restart the computer.
    When I restart it, it just goes to the gray Apple screen, with the spinning gear, and never gets farther than that. The gear is spinning.
    I can still boot successfully into Lion. Once I booted into Lion, I chose the Snow Leopard partition as the Startup Disk, but the same thing happens - just the gray Apple screen and spinning gear. I've let the machine sit for half an hour in that state, but it still does nothing but the spinning gear.
    Any ideas on why I can't boot successfully into Snow Leopard and how I can fix it?
    Thanks.

    I already knew that I'm free to follow my own course, but thanks for giving me your permission (???)
    And would knowing the original OS of the machine make any difference in your "advice"? If it was originally Leopard, would that make it any different than if it was Tiger? Answer: No, because you don't understand the problem, and you don't know how to fix it.
    Thanks.

  • How do I create a Snow Leopard partition?

    I just upgraded to Lion, and unfortunately, can't access my Quicken 2007.  (Didn't realize Quicken didn't work in Lion until after I downloaded it.  Clearly, I live in a barrel.)  I just downloaded iBank and need to export my Quicken data to it.  From what I understand, I need to create a Snow Leopard partition where I can export my info.
    My question is, how do I do this? Although I know a lot about a lot of things, this isn't one of my areas of expertise, so please be gentle and walk me through it. 
    Thanks SO very much!

    To resize the drive do the following:
    1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    After the main menu appears select Disk Utility and click on the Continue button. Select the hard drive's main entry then click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    2. You should see the graphical sizing window showing the existing partitions. A portion may appear as a blue rectangle representing the used space on a partition.
    3. In the lower right corner of the sizing rectangle for each partition is a resizing gadget. Select it with the mouse and move the bottom of the rectangle upwards until you have reduced the existing partition enough to create the desired new volume's size. The space below the resized partition will appear gray. Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.  (Note: You can only make a partition smaller in order to create new free space.)
    4. Click on the [+] button below the sizing window to add a new partition in the gray space you freed up. Give the new volume a name, if you wish, then click on the Apply button. Wait until the process has completed.
    You should now have a new volume on the drive.
    It would be wise to have a backup of your current system as resizing is not necessarily free of risk for data loss.  Your drive must have sufficient contiguous free space for this process to work.

  • How to make an OS X Snow Leopard partition in OS X Lion??

    He folks,
    I'm a big fan of SimCity4. Since I updated to Lion I can't play Simcity 4 anymore, because SC4 is a PPC app which Lion no longer support.
    That's why I want to make a Snow Leopard partition. But how do I do this?
    I've already made a partition of 40GB, but how do I install Snow Leopard on that partition?
    When I restart my macbook, whilst holding the Option key, I get an screen with the bootable drivers. But no 'Snow Leopard partition'.
    What am I doing wrong? Or what am I missing?
    Please help me?!

  • Is there any way to make a snow leopard partition on an early 2011 MacBook Pro that was upgraded to Lion, without the original boot disk?

    So I have an early 2011 MacBook pro,  I believe it shipped with snow leopard originally, as I purchased and upgraded to Lion fairly early on.  I am trying to make a partition right now and have it run snow leopard so I can use programs that have PowerPC.
    I should note, I replaced both the RAM and the harddrive in my Macbook pro.  I changed from 4 GB of ram (that came shipped) to 8 GB of ram from a 3rd party, that I installed on my own months ago, have registered in the computer and have been working fine for quite some time now.
    Also I should note I replaced my harddrive.  I went from what ever the standard 500 GB harddrive that shipped with 15 inch early 2011 MB pro's.  I now have a 3rd party SSD that's 240GB's that I also installed on my own, (at the same time as the RAM---Black friday items)  The harddrive has been working just fine since then.
    In installing the harddrive I borrowed a friends external harddrive and used a program called carbon copy cloner to get everything over to the SSD.
    Now here is my issue.  I have ordered the Snow Leopard (10.6.3) install disks from apple, I have created a partition on my SSD for snow leopard, but when I try to select the install disc for snow leopard at boot I get three beeps.
    I know this issue has been posted elsewere but it said answered and the answer is no longer available.  I also am unsure if any of the RAM or Harddrive swapping could have been causing the issue.  I have the old harddrive and RAM still, but unfortunatley have no external harddrive anymore or money to afford one.
    Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks).
    Let me know If there is anything I can do.  I'm a now broke college student so i'd like to spend as little $$$$ as possible
    *PS I should also note the DVD drive is working fine, it reads the disk, the disk is brand new, it plays DVD's fine and has never had any issues in the years i've used it for similar tasks*
    sorry for the long drawn out post, I just wanted to include as much as possible from what I've seen other people have issues with

    As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17.  They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
    Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
    Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP.

  • How do I create a bootable Snow Leopard partition on my iMac running Lion?

    Hi.
    I have recently bought an iMac running Lion.  I also have software such as Office 2004 and CS2 which I believe I can run using Rosetta, however I think I need Snow Leopard for this.  If I purchase Snow Leopard from the Online Store, how do I install this 2nd OS within another partition on my iMac (yet to be created) and how do I switch between Snow Leopard and Lion on start up?  Will my Lion software and data remain intact as I don't have any Lion disks should I need to reload this?  Can anyone help with a step-by-step instructions as I'm not incredibly confident with the repartitioning of my nice new iMac?

  • How do I fix a permissions problem that's emerged since I created a Snow Leopard partition on my Lion iMac?

    I recently partitioned my iMac, which was running Lion, so I could open old files created by apps like AppleWorks. I installed Snow Leopard in the new partition and the apps I moved there are running fine. But now when I'm using Lion and want to save or open a file, I'm frequently told I don't have permission to access or change the enclosing folder. I've tried using Disk Utilty and also manually resetting permissions on my Lion Home folder. All fixes seem temporary at best. I don't know why I'm having this problem or how to fix it.  I also don't know why there's a third (Recovery) partition I didn't create. Can I get rid of it?

    Changed the SL username/password combo to match the Lion one. Some problems were resolved but not others. Had to manually give myself Read/Write permission on the Lion partition's Home folder and its enclosures. This further restored functionality--e.g., allowing me to use Dropbox again--, but still left several "bugs." The most annoying have to do with Safari 5.1.1.  Whenever I open it now I get Apple's Support Downloads page, although my Safari Preferences are set for new pages to open with Homepage and Google as my homepage. Also, each time I open Safari, the toolbar initially loads icons for Readability (to which I'm a paid subscriber), but then I get a message saying Safari can't install the Readability extension. At this point, Readability's icons disappear and when I go to Safari's Preferences it no longer appears in my installed extensions list.  But if I close Safari and reopen, the whole routine is repeated.

  • Creating a Snow Leopard Partition

    I do need to be able to access my old Palm desktop data files, files on my old Zip disks, + some old games and other apps that never made the intel transition and so I UNFORTUNATELY will be needing to create a 10GB or so SL partition. I have never done this in Mac OSX, but I did it dozens of times in OS 7-9. In those days this was a royal pain as one needed to reformat the entire hard drive just for the daunting task. Can someone kindly explain to me how to do this in Mountain Lion? Overall I love ML, but there are a few missing features that I miss, and running PPC apps is one of them. Thank you.

    I think if you aggressively look on the internet and eBay, you can find some discounting of the cost of Parallels.  Also they will offer the $49 update price if you can show you use a competitive product, such as VMWare.
    On a similar line of thought, you could download the free VirtualBox and try it out and make some screenshots and then approach Parallels and see if that will get the "upgrade" price.  Be aggressive!
    I could always waive my Parallels commission! hahahahahaha
    Older PowerPC Macs only booted from Firewire; newer Intel Macs will now boot from USB external drives as well.  The "dual-boot" solution is another available choice, but will not allow you to have access to Mountain Lion concurrrently with Snow Leopard.
    If you do follow my instructions for Parallels, be sure to follow STEP ONE in Snow Leopard or Lion, as there are currently problems completing STEP ONE in Mountain Lion.  The resulting .cdr file of the modified Snow Leopard Install DVD can then be moved to Mountain Lion and the remaining STEPS completed there.
    Parallels offers a 14 day free trial version:
    http://trial.parallels.com/index.php?lang=en&terr=us
    You reacted to the elimination of Bootcamp negatively in this thread; and if you use Bootcamp, then you use Windows. Once you own Parallels, you can then use it for WIndows on the Mac as well.  Also Parallels can run Windows XP in Mountain Lion, even though Bootcamp will not; and Windows XP can be obtained relatively inexpensively on eBay and other sources.

  • How to Bootcamp on a dual leopard/snow leopard partition

    Is it possible to install Win7 on a Hardrive that already has a dual booting mac set-up. Currently the Hard Drive has leopard and snow leopard on it. Bootcamp states that I must only have one partition for it to proceed.

    Thanks Jeff. I'm not receiving an activation count error message unless that's part of what "Error 6" means. I had reviewed the Mac OS 10 "know issues" page but didn't find a resolution to my problem there. It states that applications in CS2 and before require rosetta to run but it doesn't say that CS4 requires rosetta to install (but it seems that it does).
    What I'm seeing is the error "Licensing for this product has stopped working" on my disk 2 after copying the Adobe applications folder from disk 1 to disk 2.
    I worked my way through all the steps on the page: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/global/error-licensing-stopped-mac-os.html but that didn't fix the problem.
    So, it seems like the only option left is to erase a partition on my macbook pro, install snow leopard, install CS4, and then upgrade to lion. Ouch! Or buy a copy of CS-current. Double-ouch!
    If you know of any other options I'd greatly appreciate your direction.

  • Trackpad inoperative in Snow Leopard partition

    I installed Lion on my iMac but created a small partition for Snow Leopard. Everything seems OK except for my Magic Trackpad. It works fine in Lion, but in Snow Leopard it only works as a single-button mouse without the "tap to click" function. Moreover, the Snow Leopard System Preferences has no Trackpad panel.
    Can anyone help me get full operation of the trackpad back into Snow Leopard?

    I have a Mid 2009 MacBook Pro and the minute Snow Leopard finished installing my trackpad single touch click started to act up. Sometimes it works great, and others I have to tap three or four times to get the computer to sense and respond to the touch click. It has made the computer very Microsoft like, less responsive. I hope they patch this problem soon. I thought I had a hardware problem but it seems I'm not the only one that is experiencing this.
    Let's go MAC get the patch out to fix this, it's driving us nuts. My MacBook pro is a cadillac of computer notebooks and this upgrade has turned my once outstanding trackpad into a lemon.

  • Trying to Instal Snow Leopard partition on Lion

    Hi Everyone
    I just recieved my new IMac and I need to instal Snow Leopard on one of the partitions.  Unfortunately everything I have tried has failed.  I desperately need 10.6.6 running on my machine.  Any help would be great!  Thanks!

    Yes, I created a separate partition for this purpose.  I've tried to instal Leopard and failed.  Then Snow Leopard and failed again.  I thought all I had to do was press "C" on the keyboard at start up and it would boot off of the instal DVD.  All it ended up doing was beeping.
    Any help or ideas would be great.  Thanks!

  • Mac Mini Server with Snow Leopard - PARTITIONS

    I may be mad but was wondering - why does the mac mini server create a partitioned HDD? I want to use the 1TB with out a partition - am I right in thinking that to solve this I simply delete one of the partitions (obviously the one that is empty)? I need to use the whole HDD and intend to back it up using a Time Capsule. Can anyone advise?
    Many thanks

    The mac mini server comes with 2 physical 500Gig drives. It's not one drive that's been partitioned so you can't delete it to get 1 TB. What you can do is define a Raid 0 set in disk utility so that the 2 physical drives look like 1 logical 1TB drive.
    Here's a little overview of Raid:

  • Can't install snow leopard on partition after upgrading to lion

    I rushed out too early to install Lion via Apple Apps store.  Now, I realize that Rosetta is gone and so are my options to use older apps.  As I was reading on the web and Apple Support, I have tried various things and get a window saying that I can't install snow leopard.
    I have never partition my hard drive, but using disk utility I created a partition called "Snow Leopard."  It divided my HD in half which is okay.  I closed the disk utility window, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and saw the OS X Install DVD.  When I select it a window pops up saying, "You can't use this version of the appl inst Mac OS X with this version of Mac OS X.  You have installed Mac OS X 23.1.1."
    Before downloading lion, I made a backup of my existing HD using Time Machine to an external HD.  When I open up a saved version dated a month ago, I see that the applications that were working in snow leopard now have the icon circle saying that it is not supported by lion.  This is strange since I used Time Machine to back up my HD, then turned off the app before downloading lion.  Even older versions saved on the external HD show the circle.
    I read about lion and the "Recovery HD," but when I hold down the Command-R key nothing happens when I restart my computer.  It also talks about using the option key but that does not work.  It talks about reinstalling lion using this system, but I don't see it working.
    How can I install snow leopard on my new partition, then I would go to "Software Updates," to get the latest version, or use one of the versions on my external HD to have both operating system.
    Thanks,

    Hi Scottiemn,
    As I was trying different things to make a partition on my HD, I made notes as to what I did, and I finally got it to work.  I will try to explain what I did.
    Before installing “Lion,” I backed up Snow Leopard using Time Machine to my external Seagate HD.  I installed “Lion,” and found out that I could not use some of my old apps, so I did the following.
    Since I am running “Lion,” I opened up disk utility and selected my MacHD (1TB), then I selected partition, and it showed “Macintosh HD” under the partition information name.  I believe I selected the plus, + and it divided my HD space in half, and I named it Snow Leopard.
    I then installed the Snow Leopard DVD, and restarted my computer holding down the “C” key, I held it down for about 30 seconds or more and then took my finger off of the key.  As I waited I finally saw that I was on the install DVD, and on the top menu bar I saw “Utilities.”  I had my external Seagate HD mounted on my desk top before I restarted my computer, I selected the “Utilities,” on the menu bar and it gave me the option to back up from Time Machine, I selected my external Seagate HD to the newly created partition I named Snow Leopard and I said “Yes.”  I followed the instructions and after it was done, I went to the menu bar and selected System Preferences, System, Startup Disk, and selected to start up with Snow Leopard.  On my desktop, I can see two Hard Drives, one is Macintosh HD with “Lion,” and the other is Snow Leopard. 
    Then, I started up my computer and I was on the Snow Leopard partition and I saw all of my apps working.  I then went back to the menu bar and selected System Preferences, System, Startup Disk, and selected to start up with “Lion,” and restarted my computer and I was running “Lion.”
    I am not sure why I was not able to use the DVD of SL before, but somehow I got it to work, and I hope that I have explained what I did above.
    One thing, when I installed “Lion,” from the app store, I did not make a bootable DVD of the application.  I went back to the app store and downloaded “Lion” again and kept it in the dock until I got Snow Leopard to work.  I burned a DVD of “Lion,” and so I have a backup of it.
    Since my Seagate HD has only 250 GB of space and it is an EIDE HD 7,200 rpm using an OWC Mercury Elite FW400/USB2 with the Oxford chipset 911 enclosure which I bought in 2008, I decided that since I now have my 27 inch iMac quad core i5 with 1TB that I needed a larger hard drive.
    I researched the web and decided to go back to OWC and just bought a 2.0TB OWC Mercury Elite Pro “Quad Interface” 64MB with eSATA/FW800/FW400/USB2.0 with 7,200 rpm speed for $219.00.  I partitioned it for Time Machine, and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    I ran Time Machine, and both partitions “Lion, and Snow Leopard” are on the Time Machine partition and both HD’s are under the Carbon Copy Cloner.
    I am self taught on my many iMac’s over the years, and I go to the forums to ask questions and follow the helpful hints to resolve my problems.  I carefully try different things and write down what I did so I don’t repeat things.
    I hope that I have explained what I did, and hopefully it will work for you.
    When I want to run SL, I select in the System Preferences to start up from that disk, when I want to run Lion, I go back and select that and start up my computer running Lion.
    Since I have many old apps that Rosetta uses to open them up in SL I wanted to keep that operating system.  I will go back now that I have everything working and see if I really need them.  I won’t rush to remove my SL partition that I created, but in time if I don’t need the older apps then I may clean out my system and just run Lion.
    I run Lion now all of the time, but when I need to go back to SL, I now have the option.
    Good Luck,
    DaisyMay

  • Can I install Snow Leopard on a new partition on a Macbook Pro (Late 2011)?

    I need to get Pro Tools 9 up and running again after I migrated from PC to Mac, but I know that Pro Tools 9 doesnt work with Lion.. I dont have the money to upgrade to PT10 so my thought was to go downgrade to Snow Leopard to get it working. But I dont want to leave Lion, so my question is if I can make a new partition and install Snow Leopard on the new partition and have both OSs bootable?
    The guy in the store I bought my mac from said Snow Leopard probably wouldnt play nice with the mac since its adapted to Lion but I dont trust people that get money for preaching about the constant need for "the latest". So I thought I'd ask the experts instead, so here I am! What do you guys think?

    theoretically, it should work - but the guy at the Apple Store is correct....computers that ship with the latest operating system do not support being downgraded.
    You might not get past the spinning beach ball & gray screen if you try to boot from the Snow Leopard install disc.
    It's worth a shot though if you want to try it. Just don't try to 'downgrade' the current Lion installation back to Snow Leopard. Try instead to create a new partition specifically for Snow Leopard. Disk Utility - select the top HD (probably reads Hitachi something)...select it, click on the Partition tab. Select the top partition, and you should then be able to see the + so you can add a new partition. I would probably make it about 20GB give or take depending on how much space you think you will need - but i believe the Snow Leopard installation by itself takes up around 8-10GB.
    Once this partition is created, insert your Snow Leopard installation disc, restart the computer and hold the C key down to start from the install disc. When it walks you through the steps for installation, select the newly created Snow Leopard partition. Install. Be sure to go through all the Software Updates (numerous times) after the installation is done.
    You can select which startup disc you want to boot from by holding the Option button down at startup until you see the gray startup manager that shows your Lion partition, Recovery Disc partiton, and your Snow Leopard partition.
    If for whatever reason this doesn't work, simply just erase the partition. It likely will not work but you should be able to just erase that newly created partition without any other problems.

    Can I set up 2 different time capsule backups? one for the lion partition and one for the snow leopard partition?
    No, you can't partition a Time Capsule's internal HD.  Both partitions will back up to the same sparse bundle. keeping the backups for each partition separate.
    Time Machine will not take the two OSX partitions as two different computers, but for best results, exclude the Snow Leopard drive from backups on the Lion partition, and exclude the Lion partition from backups on the Snow Leopard partition.
    There may be some files on the Lion partition that Time Machine on Snow Leopard won't like, among other things.  See #10 in  Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions for details.
