Disk trouble: error -20

I've got nasty trouble with the hard drive in my gen 2 iPod.
1. When I try to use the iPod Updater to Restore, it shows a progress bar labeled "Restoring iPod software" and stays there indefinitely--I've let it run overnight.
2. Disk Utility lists the iPod as a 2.0 TB device (obviously this is wrong!), and when I try to format the iPod, I get the message "Disk Erase failed with the error: Unknown error: -20"
Anybody know what error -20 is or have other ideas? Is there any hope?

New MBP, and am having memory trouble errors with MS Word 2004

Hi,
I know this has been talked about before, but I'm not sure where to post this question. I have a new MBP, with a full version of Word (no previous trial software installed). I have been trying to copy and past basic text files from Yahoo mail, to create a book of emails of sorts. My file size has been approaching my memory capacity (basic setup). Does it not create a swap file and let you keep going if you approach the limits of the onboard memory? I understand it will run a bit slower, but I'm only moving text files and nothing else. Why the proverbial memory/disk full error messages? Does it have anything to do with the software being non universal code?
Do I need to get rid of temporary files, as Im copying and pasting alot? If so, how?
Anyone have the same trouble, and have a clear solution? I could also swear my MPB is running alot slower with Word than I would have expected.
Any help you can give me would b appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I’ll try to answer your questions briefly without going into too much detail. First of all, I think the error message you are seeing is generated by MS Word and not your operating system. That particular error, and other similar ones, are quite common in Word in particular situations and are the result of a known bug.
As far as I know, there is no fix, but there are several work-arounds. The bug has to do with the number of temporary files that get created when working with large Word files. As you might guess, the larger your file, the larger the temp files, and they will quickly fill up your existing RAM, which then causes the error that generates the message. You have to delete the temp files---you can do that by saving and closing your file, then restart it. There are some scripts you can run, but that is beyond what I want to get into here (and usually is not necessary).
The other problem is that by copying and pasting text from Yahoo Mail, you are not pasting simple text---you are pasting all the HTML code, formatting, and everything else that is contained in that text. And Word saves it all, then adds its own formatting and other code---leading to corrupt files sooner or later.
And then, to make it all worse, if your file is as large as you say it is (close to system memory in size), that is one huge Word file, and Word does not handle really large files very well, especially Word 2004, but all versions of Word, Windows versions included, have trouble with large files.
Word does in fact run slowly on even the newest MacBook Pros because Word is not yet compiled for the Intel Macs and does not run natively as a universal binary but runs under Rosetta, which translates Word to run on Apple computers running Intel CPUs. If you are working with small files, it isn’t too bad, but big files will slow it down to almost a crawl at times, or it will even stop responding for several seconds between each command.
You can work around these problems by breaking your file into much smaller ones, save often (and close the file once in while), and save as a text file, rather than as a doc file.
An alternative is to use another word processor or text editor to save your copied text---there are many that will work as well as or better than Word for what you want to do. Pages is a good alternative----I have to collaborate on Word files every day, and I prefer to work on my MacBook Pro (although I also use Windows-based computers about as frequently, too), and except for the most complex Word files with tables, charts, and pictures, Pages works very well, and you can save the file as a Word document, too, if you need to.
Hope that answers some of your questions----and always remember….I could be wrong.

VM will not boot after moving using Failover Cluster Manager - "a disk read error occurred......"

My current Configuration:
3 node cluster, using clustered shared storage and about 22 VM's.   The Host servers are running 2012 Data Center while all guest are running 2012 Standard. The SAN is EqualLogic and we are using HIT Kit 4.5.
I have a CSV that is running out of space, so I created another CSV so that I could move some of the VM's to a new home.    I tested this by creating a test VM, and moved it successfully 3 times.     I then moved an actual
LIVE VM and while it seemed to move ok, it will now not start.   The message is "a disk read error occurred Press ctrl+alt+del to restart".     I moved the test VM and it failed as well.
I have read several things about this, but nothing seems to relate to my specific issue.   I have verified that VSS is working and free of errors as well.    From the Settings menu for the VM, if I select "Inspect" the drive,
the properties all look fine.    It is a VHDX and both the current file size and maximum disk size seem correct.
The VM's were moved using the "move - virtual machine storage" option within Failover Cluster Manager.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Lets see if I can answer all of those and I appreciate the brain storming.   This really needs to work, correctly.
1. The Storage is moving.
2.   VM's and SAN are on same device.
3. No, my Clustered Shared Volume, CSV, is out of room, (more one that later)
4. No, I actually have 2 sans grouped together.   However, I'm moving the VM', form one CSV to another CSV on the Same san. EqualLogic PS 6110 is the one I am trying to move VMS around on, and the other SAN not involved in any way except
for it is in a SAN group is an EqualLogic PS6010.
5. No error During move, it took about 5-10 minutes, no error messages.   Note, I did a test and it worked GREAT 3 times.   Now both a live VM, and the test VM are doing the same thing.
6. No, the machine is not to large.   The test making was a 50 gig drive, just 2012 standard installed with updates.   The live VM was a 75 gig VM that was my Trend Micro Server, or anti-virus host.
7. Expand the existing SCV?   Yes I should be able to, but there is an issue there.   The volume was expanded correctly, Equallogic sees the added space, Fail Over cluster manager sees the added space, however disk manager only
sort of does.    When looking at disk manager, there are 2 areas that tell you a little bit about the drive.   The top part and then the bottom part.   The top part only shows 500G, the original size, while the bottom part
says that it is 1 TB in size.   I call Dell's technical support and after they looked at it I was told by the technician that they had seen this a couple of times and the only way to fix it was to move all the VM's to another CSV and delete the troubled
CSV.   I thought about adding more space to the troubled CSV, but its on a production server with about 12 VM's running on it and I did not want to take a chance.   The Trend VM was running on CSV-1 and working fine.
I must admit that the test VM, was on CSV-2.    I moved the Test VM from csv-2 to csv-3 back and forth several times with no errors.   The Trend Server was on CSV-1 and was moved to CSV-3, however it failed. Again, I then moved
the test VM from CSV-2 to CSV-3 and it failed the same way.   I could not test the "TEST - VM" on csv-1 due to csv-1 not having enough space.
8.   I did disable the network from the VM to see if that mattered it did not.
9.   I have not yet had a chance to connect the VHDX to a new VM, but I will do that in about an hour, hopefully.    Once I am able to test that suggestion I will post the results as well.
Again, thanks for all the suggestions and comments, as I had rather have lots to look at and try.   I hope I answered them well enough.

Can't open the Illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error . . .

Since CS5, now CS5.1 I have had periods, sometimes multiple times a day, that I have this error, "Can't open Illustration. Can't print the illustration. Disk full error has occured while printing."
I don't understand if I am alone in the problem or what. But after 3 days of the problem starting up again, I am quickly going nuts - I was close to that point before these issues.
Facts:
It happens without warning! These are native illustrator files that I created or have been given to me.
I am NOT printing when it happens.
I cannot open ANY illustrator file once the error occurs.
If I quit Illustrator and re-open, it still does NOT work.
I have to restart my entire computer, then it works fne - until it happens again, which is 5-6 times a day.
I am running 10.6.8 on a 2.9 Core 2 Duo 24" iMac with 4GB ram.
Doe anyone have any idea what the problem is or how to fix it? Please!!!!!

Probably a font cache, corrupt font and now a preference corruption as well.
Bloated font cache an do this.
So can a permission problem
So download ONYX it is free clear out your font cache, if you have cocktail that will do as well. As mfar as the corrut font Font Agent Pro would be useful for helping you locate the corrupt font.
As for the preferences
1. Quit Illustrator.
2.Go to User/username/Library/Preferences/ Adobe illustrator CS# Settings and trash the settings folder, the whole folder not just the contents of the folder..
3. Start Illustrator. Illustrator creates a new preferences file.
(someone here will advice you to rename the folder but that only applies to the Windows system just trash and empty the trash and a fresh one will be made)
Then use the disk Utility to repair the permissions.
You can do all of thesee and maybe avoid the corrupt font and see if that works but I suggest you do all three and then if it happens again trouble shoot your fonts.
If this does not help probably a conflict with a plug in or other third party software.

Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
Attempted solutions:
-I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
-I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.

But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Disk read error whilst trying to install vista

Bios Techy help needed here.
I'm using a pentium e6300 dual core with a P35 neo-F. I've tried to load the drivers disk after attempting to set the bios. At each time after saving bios and attempt to load those drivers for vista and raid a message is diplayed "disk read error" appears. I have tried to load vista from the installation disk. This does load to a point but stops.
What the heck do I need to put in bios to get running. Loading the fail safe settings or optimised ones still doesn't get me anywhere.
Techy help seriously required.

The problem is not the board, the problem is that you keep installing drivers you do not need (drivers that will trick Vista into believing that a controller exists, that is not there (ICH9R instead of ICH9). The board is perfectly fine. You yourself seem to be causing the disk error (trying to force Vista to use drivers that do not fit the hardware). I have been trying to tell you this from the beginning. Why don't you simply try to skip the driver integration part? Do you even know what you are doing? Even if the board would be able to support RAID (which it doesn't), the RAID Function would need to be enabled in BIOS first to make driver integration a necessary step. As this is impossible on your board (because it does not support RAID), RAID Drivers are simply not necessary. They will only cause (pointless) trouble.
Another explanation is a bad hard drive. Have you checked your hard drive with a diagnostic utility provided by the manufacturer? Maybe it is time to bin the hard drive (or the SATA cable, who knows). This does not look like a mainboard or BIOS Problem at all.

Ipod cannot be restored, disk write error?

I cannot restore this ipod, nor can i reformat it using any program, application, or even the command line. iTunes gives me the error "unknown error - 1418", and ipod updater gives me "Disk Write Error" when i try to restore it. Does anyone know if there is any way to salvage this iPod? or should i be returning it to Costco?
this all started i think when the owner ran the batteries completely down. the ipod still gives the "connect to computer use itunes to restore screen".
this ipod was purchased in june 2006, and is in perfect condition.

See if doing a Restore on a Mac computer works
. Windows users having trouble with their iPods should locate a Mac user. In many cases when an iPod won't show up on a PC that it will show up on the Mac. Then it can be restored. When the PC user returns to his computer the iPod will be recognized by the PC, reformatted for the PC, and usable again. By the way, it works in reverse too. A Mac user often can get his iPod back by connecting it to a PC and restoring it.
Tips
a. It does not matter whether the format is completed or not, the key is to erase (or partly) the corrupted firmware files on the Hard Drive of the iPod. After that, when the iPod re-connected with a computer, it will be recognized as an fresh external hard drive, it will show up on the iTunes 7.
b. It is not a difficult issue for a Mac user to find a window base computer, for a PC user, if they can’t find any Mac user, they can go to a nearest Apple Shop for a favor.
c. You may need to switch around the PC and Mac, try to do several attempts between “Format” and “Restore”

Z77A-G45 Thunderbolt - Disk read error

Hi, I'm having a lot of trouble with Disk Read Errors and at times, the motherboard not recognising my SSD is even there and giving me media not present errors. These don't come up every time but I'd say they come up 95% of the time. The other 5% of the time the motherboard boots into Windows 8 normally. Which leads me to think that it might be a connection or interfacing error of some sort.
My SSD (SDSSDX-240G-G25) is plugged into port 1 or port 2 (errors on both ports on that controller). On port 3 and 4 I have a Blu-Ray drive and a 3TB hard drive. On 5 and 6 I have a 3TB and a 1TB hard drive.
The connections are all secure. My BIOS is up to date (think it's version 40 off the top of my head, but it's as up to date as it was on Tuesday this week). I have tried reformatting and reinstalling Windows but get the same errors. In fact, the motherboard is now recognising the SSD less and less and often in the BIOS it won't see it at all.
Because it's booting up sometimes I feel like it isn't a failed drive but maybe it's a failed controller on the motherboard? What options can I try to fix it without taking the whole computer apart and sending the motherboard and SSD back?
Also, all the disks are set to GPT. Motherboard BIOS won't boot when I set it to UEFI so it's set to UEFI + Legacy and booting to the SSD first.
Thanks,
Ed

try new SATA cables as these tend to fail.

Does anyone know how to solve: "Firmware update failure. Disk write error"?

Hi all,
Here is the list of all what went wrong and where I am now:
1. My Ipod worked well
2. I wanted to update it, you know, the normal thing with Itunes
3. Every time I tried, my computer froze. I was unable to add only one song (both automatically and manually).
4. I took my external drive (where my music is) at work and tried again: same result.
5. I decided to run the Updater I have on the CD that came with the Ipod.(2005-02-07; I usually avoid the newer version, having had once a problem when putting a newer version of Updater).
6. The Updater was unable to operate any action on my Ipode (I don't remember the messages now).
7. Like I tried what I describe here above like a hundred time. I decided to format the Ipod with Windows (My Computer, right click on the Ipod, format).
8. It did and now I have only the famous folder with an exclamation mark on my Ipod.
9. Now when I am running the Updater, it says it cannot Restore the factory settings giving this message "Firmware update failure. Disk write error".
I would appreciate any help because, during the last 2 hours, I read and tried all I found on the Support Help here on the Apple web side without any result yet.
Thank a lot for your answer

Any ideas on what to do next?
I'm running and iMac 20-inch early 2009
Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software OS X 10.8.4 (12E55)

Step 1
Quit Calendar. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Calendars/Calendar Cache
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file named "Calendar Cache" selected.
Move the selected file to the Trash. There may be one or two other files in the same folder with names that begin in "Calendar Cache". If so, delete those files too.
Step 2
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash as well:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
To locate large files, you can use Spotlight. That method may not find large folders that contain a lot of small files.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

"A Disk Read Error Has Occured" past 239 FSB?

The title says it all. I'm runnin an Neo Platinum 2 and when booting up overclocked past 239 FSB I get "A Disk Read Error Has Occured" and it asks me to reboot. Is this as simple as my SATA being overclocked too far? I was under the impression this board had an SATA lock, but I could be wrong. Any suggestions on getting past this? Or have I reached my peak?

"No Disk Found" error during installation of Solaris 10[11/06] on HP 6710b

Hallo Guys,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Qumar

Hallo Guys,
I am trying to install Solaris 10 on my HP 6710b lap top but it fails with "No Disk Found" error.
I used "Solaris 10 support tool" to check my system and it reports that my system is supported.
You can find the report bellow. I am sure that my disk is OK and I am also using "CD-ROM" option in BIOS for installing solaris from my Solaris DVD.
I have also updated the drivers using "CPQary3-1.71-solaris10-i386".
Please help me.
Thanks,
Qumar

No Boot Disk or Boot Disk Failed error

I set up a Pavillion 500-c60 today but when I turned it on, I got a "No Boot Disk or Boot Disk Failed" error. Any suggestions?

Here is a guide related to your problem. It's step by step.
I am a volunteer. I am not an HP employee.
To say THANK YOU, press the "thumbs up symbol" to render a KUDO. Please click Accept as Solution, if your problem is solved. You can render both Solution and KUDO.
The Law of Effect states that positive reinforcement increases the probability of a behavior being repeated. (B.F.Skinner). You toss me KUDO and/or Solution, and I perform better.

You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.
