Disk lost?

I have an external drive (WD) and have been using it up until just ten minutes ago. I did, however, have problems today that a lot of files could not open. Then I ejected (properly) and opened it again (because of the issue with the files) and now it will not mount at all anymore.
I get the following with fsck_hfs:
jos-elkinks-computer:~ joselkink$ fsck_hfs -d /dev/disk1
** /dev/rdisk1
Using cacheBlockSize=32K cacheTotalBlock=1024 cacheSize=32768K.
Block 2 is not an MDB or Volume Header
Block 976773166 is not an MDB or Volume Header
unknown volume type
primary MDB is at block 0 0x00
alternate MDB is at block 0 0x00
primary VHB is at block 0 0x00
alternate VHB is at block 0 0x00
sector size = 512 0x200
VolumeObject flags = 0x01
total sectors for volume = 976773168 0x3a386030
total sectors for embedded volume = 0 0x00
Does this mean all the information on this drive is lost?? That would be quite a serious loss ...

Hi Jos, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately, Disk Utility/fsck can't fix all that much. Your best bet for repairing you HD is DiskWarrior from Alsoft...

If that shouldn't work, your best bet for recovering your data is Data Rescue II...

This last one would require another HD with plenty of space to recover to.

Patch Update - Disks lost labels

Hi Gurus,
I have a problem with solaris 10 update 3 where by disks lost labels after a patch update. Can you please help me figure out what might have gone wrong?
Please be patient with me as i am still newbie to the Solaris OS.
Thanks in advance

There is no update from 10.2.8. You need to purchase retail version of Tiger, 10.4.x. It would help if you gave as much information about your Mac as possible; i.e., model, ram, hard drive, etc.....What method were you using to install the new OS?

OS disk lost for mac mini

Hi
I have lost my OS disk for mac mini 2007 10.4 and I need to erase the disk before getting rid of it from disk utility
Is there anywhere I can download a copy from?

No download, free or paid.
You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured.

Upgrade to CS4 when CS2 disks lost

I lost my CS2 disks, but Adobe Web Support said I could still purchase the CS4 upgrade instead of the full version because I have the CS2 serial numbers. The problem is, I'm upgrading to a brand new computer. In order for the CS4 upgrade software to work, doesn't the computer need to have the CS2 software installed on it? Is there a way to get the CS2 software from my old computer to my new computer without disks, or am I forced to buy the full version for my new computer?

No, it doesn't need to be installed. The serial number should be fine for verification.
Did you register CS2? If so, and you have a problem, you can call Adobe for help with the installation.

Ocr & voting disk lost

Hi,
Learning about RAC..........please anyone reply it
If ocr & voting is lost means, is the database lost some datas? Is it correct?
For Ex: I had backup of OCR ,VOTING DISK which is taken at 3 Am.
Now 3.45 Am I lost current(running) ocr file ( mirror also) & voting disk.
I lost 45 minutes data?

Hi,
OCR Maintains cluster configuration information as well as configuration information about any cluster database within the cluster. OCR is the repository of configuration information for the cluster that manages information about like the cluster node list and instance-to-node mapping information.
VD primary function of the voting disk is to manage node membership and prevent what is known as Split Brain Syndrome in which two or more instances attempt to control the RAC database.
So looking into above functionality we can understand that the above are conf files and not actual data files. So you database does not lost.
Secondly, try to hold a replica copy of OCR/VD and make backups in time.

Installation disk lost

I have lost my Mac OS installation disk for leopard 10.5, is there any way to go ahead with new installation ? Need help as my mac is not coming on just a gray screen and folder is displayed.

You can call Apple Customer Support 1-800-767-2775, provide the Serial Number and specifications of the Mac, and for a fee, a replacement set of system discs (if available), can be ordered.
However, the discs will be for the original version of OS, that was pre-installed, when the Mac was manufactured. This OS may not be OS 10.5.
Will it boot OK in Safe Mode? See What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392 Takes a while to run, but it usually "fixes" problems.

Broken Hard Disk, lost iTunes library

Recently my hard disk stop working. So I lost my iTunes library. It was practically empty since I manually managed all songs.
So now I have to create a new library but when I try to check the option "Manually manage music and videos" iTunes ask me to format my iphone.
Why should it delete the iphone content? Will I loose all my apps?

iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
Sync transfer is one way, computer to device, matching the device content to the content on the computer (except purchased content as mentioned above). For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):
- MusicRescue - http://www.kennettnet.co.uk/products/musicrescue/ - Mac & Windows
- Sharepod (free) - http://download.cnet.com/SharePod/3000-2141_4-10794489.html?tag=mncol;2 - Windows

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
In general do not regard your i-device as a reliable unique storage for your media. It is not a backup device and everything is structured around you maintaining a backup of your media on a computer backup.

Time Machine cannot find internal backup disk.Lost disk image in Finder for internal backup volume. OS 10.7.3.

Lost disk image in Finder (Desktop) for backup disk on Intel Mac Pro OS 10.7.3. Time Machine cannot find the internal backup disk. The volume is grayed out in Disk Utility, though it CAN verify the volume. How do I get it back on my desktop?

First, restart the Time Capsule by disconnecting the power adapter and reconnecting it. If other devices on the network can see it, you can skip this step.
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
Click the lock icon in the lower left corner of the window and authenticate to unlock the settings, if necessary. Click the Advanced button, then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Click Renew DHCP lease.
Try again to back up.

Photoshop Elements 7 - Disk lost

I have lost the Photoshop Elements Version 7 CD but would like to install it on my new computer. I stil have the Serial Number - how do I download it online or get a new copy of the CD?

I am sorry Sophia12340x I am unable to locate any links to allow you to download Photoshop Elements 7. The earliest I could find was Photoshop Elements 10.
You can qualify for the upgrade pricing for Photoshop Elements 10 however. You can find more details at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop-elements.html. If you are using a new computer with a new operating system it maybe best to have the current version as it was designed to work with later operating systems.

Disk lost in move

Hello:
I have kind of a silly question. We bought a copy of Excelsius 2008 last year and installed it on my laptop. I am getting ready to swap out for a new laptop and the disk(s) have gone missing (probably during the last move). Is there a way to retrieve the relevant license information and acquire a new copy of the software? What information would I need (invoice, etc)?
Thanks for fielding my rather absurd question.

You should be able to find your key in your registry. Otherwise you can contact SAP Licensing.

Macbook Pro 500GB disk lost 131 GB capacity

Hello,
My Internal Hard disk has a capacity of 500,11 GB.
My Macintosh HD suddenly has an capacity of 369 GB.. This used to be more..
Why did I lose so much capacity and how can I get it back?
Thankyou for your help,
Jouri Postma

Start up in Recovery mode, launch Disk Utility, select the startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name), and run Repair Disk (not Repair Permissions.) If any problems are found, repeat. Then restart as usual.
If you don't already have a current backup, you must back up your data before you take the above step. You may be able to back up, even if the system isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
