Disk Utility BUG SOLVED @@ COME AND READ @@.
On some of the older imac and mac books some of your may have problems using the restore tab in disk utility.
You are unable to drag the disk to the last slot.
I figured it out today.You don't have to install any third party software or use any terminal thingy.
Ok
So you launch disk utility and go to restore tab and you drag your dmg file or whatever on the first slot and you can't drag anything into the second one.I want you to drag it from the left hand side, On your desktop for example your usb thumbdrive is call MAC1 but dragging it from desktop to disk utility will not work.I want you to find MAC1 or whatever you use on disk utility on the left and drag it into the box.This will work.You can go on can try restore now@@@@.
If they say error 16 or something i want to you to unmount anything you have mounted and try restore again.it should work now.
If it doesn't work i can't help you
But anyway this works best with usb.So have fun
There is no bug. The instructions specifically say to drag the disk from the list to the left!

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed but it still kept getting stuck on the apple loading screen.
You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Disk Utility can't repair and refuse Partition to work

Is there any ways to solve this message appearing in the Disk Utility?

Permissions repair complete
Then i thought its might not be repair just by one repair.
After that i try repair again however this message still appear.
I ever try restarting and shutting down my MacBook but the message still appear.
I do some research and find that one of the message in the list can be safety ignore
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
Hence i just ignore the message.
Meanwhile i try to partition my hard disk and message shown;
Partition failed
Partition failed with the error:
Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed
I getting too frustrated about this problem.... ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Any solutions are welcome. ThanksYou can find an extensive discussion of the permissions repair messages you can ignore at Topic: Permissions Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Nothing on your list of permissions messages is unusual or indicates an issue that needs correction.
However, the partition failed message indicates that you need to run Disk Utility's Repair Disk function on the disk volume. Note that if this is your normal startup volume, you will have to start up from some other disk, such as your installer disc, & run the Repair Disk step from it.
If Disk Utility is unable to repair the HD, you can try more powerful (& costly) utilities like Disk Warrior, but there are no guarantees that any of them will be able to fix all possible problems the HD may have. -
Tiger Disk Utility filled up target AND system disk, CANNOT reboot!
I used Apple Disk utility to securely erase free space on a target drive on my laptop. Disk Utility filled both my target disk and system disk (system disk was not even specified in the erase procedure). Both disks have ZERO bytes free. The System disk will NOT startup and I cannot use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory cuz there is no space. Tried using terminal to rm temp files, but it did not see the system disk.
*Problem Path:*
1) Laptop (Leopard OS X current version) video stopped working. Likely known problem with Graphics card.
2) Connected G5 (Tiger) to Laptop via Firewire with Laptop working in Target Disk mode (data only mode).
3) Laptop disk showed up as a disk volume on G5.
4) Used Apple disk utility on Tiger G5 to securely erase FREE disk space on Laptop disk drive B4 taking it in to get repairs. Amount to be securely erased was appr 65 to 70 GB.
5) Left G5 Tiger disk utility to work overnight... had to interrupt next day. Restarted..
6) Next day, the G5 disk utility said that it would be an est. 97 hours to complete. Stopped process.
7) Both target disk and system disk showed that 0 bytes (yes, ZERO bytes free) were free on either drive.
8) Attempted to restart with literature saying that you can restart Disk Utility as though it would delete temp files and start again. System could not be found (folder/face/folder/face showed on the screen)
*Attempted Solution:* (DW ~ DiskWarrior 4)
1) Started system up using DW CD. System disk came up as unknown.
2) Used Disk Warrior to rebuild directory on disk, but I believe that there is NO space at all. Disk Warrior took a very long time...more than an hour.
3) Terminated DW (it was still verifying directory)
4) Restarted system from Tiger install.
5) Attempted to use Tiger Disk Utility to verify system disk (System still can see it, but won't mount it-- name is now disk1s3 or something like that). Disk Utility said that disk directory had problems and needed to be repaired. Ran the repair, but Disk Utility said that it could not be repaired.
6) Quit Disk Utility and entered into the terminal to see if I could access the disk through unix commands. Access volumes from root. Only the other disk on the system showed up, not the system disk. So attempt to delete temporary files that MAY have been created by Disk Utility could not be done.
7) Restarted system using DW. Drive showed up as Unknown. Clicked on [Apple key] rebuild to do scavenge function. Left it for two hours. Little to no change. Left it to work all night.
HELP!
Will DiskWarrior use other volume on system or memory to save off or rebuild directory of bad drive? Anyone know of a utility that can help?
ANY HELP you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. I have been put behind on research in my graduate studies and am in a terrible situation in now BOTH of my systems are inaccessible.Hello HB3, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Disk Utility reports "resource busy" and can't create an disk image
HI,
Just succesfully updated to Mountain Lion on my MBA and iMac. No problems. A very smooth proces.
But, on my iMac the Disk Utility are not able to create new images at all! I'm not sure if this relates directly to the update, as
DU works fine on the MBA.
I have tried to create a simple disk image from a folder, sparse bundle disk images and sparse disk images - with and without encryption.
They al gave this output from DU: "Unable to create "MYDiskImage.sparsebundle." (Resource busy).
I understand from other postings on the web that others have experienced the same message from time to time, but have not seen a fix for it anywhere.
I can see the "disk iamge" in the DU window (left pane) but are not able to locate it with Finder or on the computer anywhere, but are even able to "repair the
disk image with DU, but then there is actually no disk image when trying to locate it. Very strange.
Any help?
The DU log has this info:

Thanks for the suggestion. Somehow I managed to solve the issue (the question was posted in July), I think I restarted the computer a couple of times, but it's interesting that you mention Drive Genius and Drive Pulse, as I also had that app running!
Maybe Drive Pulse was also turned of here in my process and helped to solve the issue.
Anyhow, thanks. -
NEED HELP! Disk Utility mixed up HD and erased 2TB of data!
I just encountered a disaster thanks to disk utility and am asking for your help. PLEASEEEEEEE
Details: MacBook Pro using Lion OSX
Here is the short story. Like any semi-computer nerd, I have a lot of external harddrives for all my work. One was having issues and showed symptoms of a break down. So I backed-up everything on the drive and tried to reformat it. Half-way through, disk utility seemed to get stuck or something. The bar did not progress, and the estimated time to complete continued to go up. After about two hours, I needed to grab some files off another harddrive. No big deal. I left the harddrive being reformatted still plugged in, so the process would continue undisturbed. In the second USB port, I plugged in an expansion port with 2 other external harddrives connected to it. ...Within seconds, literally seconds, diskutility erased one of the new harddrives and renamed it. I'm not kidding. It happened so fast, I couldn't stop it. It worked faster then I've ever seen DiskUtility erase a drive…10…20 seconds max. I lost 2 terrabits of files. Information, files and personal documents that cannot be replaced. This is a huge disaster!
Is there anyway to fix this? Is the restore image feature in disk utility bring back files? Worst of all, there is no reasonable argument for why disk utility mixed it up. I never unplugged the drive it was reformating. I never touched the program or clicked anything. And how did it mix them up? You have to select the drive explicitly that you want to erase. One was a Western Digital HD and the other aSeagate, both with different names, models and serial numbers. Computers don't simply mix up drives. It's coded. Second, how could it erase the drive so fast? It never even mounted. By the time the new drive appeared, it was already erased and renamed.
This is huge. I cannot replace these files. Does anyone know how to fix this?Hello HB3, and a warm welcome to the forums!

Hard drive absent in disk utility - want to erase and reinstall MacOS
Hi there. Any help would be most gratefully received.
I have a Power Mac G5 Dual 2Ghz with 2GB RAM, one internal HDD (250GB serial ATA 7200rpm - the original one), two external HDDs and a Philips 170B display, running (or not) MacOS 10.39.
It was working fine yesterday but on startup this morning it hung for a while on the grey Apple logo and progress "clock" then froze on a blue screen.
I tried removing all cables except display and keyboard/mouse and restarted a few times but to no avail.
I tried entering safe mode but it wouldn't work. Upon subsequent attempts at startup it took me (instead of the blue screen) to the flashing question mark/finder folder screen.
I then booted from my install CD and tried to run Disk Utility to repair the disk. Disk Utility recognised the disk and allowed me to select it. But when I tried to verify it, it failed and told me to repair. When I tried to repair it told me "invalid b-tree node size".
I then tried running the Apple Hardware Test CD. It found no faults at all in the full test of the system.
All of my data is stored on my external HDDs so my next thought was to erase the internal HDD and reinstall my software. (I use the Mac solely for Video editing and the only applications I have installed - in addition to all the basics - are the Apple Production Suite.)
However, this time when I booted from the install CD, Disk Utility would not recognise the internal HDD. The only thing I had done since it had recognised it the last time was to run the Hardware tests. In addition, since running the hardware tests, the HDD started making a strange noise whenever the Mac was on - like clicking with almost beep-like access noises.
The last time I tried restarting and booting into Disk Utility, the clicking began again and then eventually stopped. But still no evidence of the drive in Disk Utility.
Soooooooooo. I don't need to save any data on the hard drive. I have all my software and OS discs. I just want to wipe the drive and start afresh (assuming this is the best course of action?). But I am unable to do so because of this new development in my attempts to fix the problem: the unrecognised hard drive (coupled with the strange noises).
If you have any ideas, please do get in touch. I'm pretty broke at the minute and I'm trying to find a solution without having to purchase a new drive. Obviously, if this is the only solution, then I'll have to bear that cost. But since it has recognised the disk just a few steps before, I'm hoping there's a way back.
Yours in optimismI am not sure about battery, I still use G4 MDD which is unplugged for months, was always off at night (UPS was off) and still works.
But I would always use both SATA drive bays, and I think you need to invest in one or two new drives.
For now, try disconnecting your drive and see if you can boot from external drive and CD/DVD.
Also see if you can get into Open Firmware.
Resetting PMU would also be worth while when you get in to disconnect your hard drive (I think 3 yrs is more than enough for any OEM drive, too).

Disk utility's encrypted drives and user permissions
I've decided against using filevault based on some of the feedback and research I have conducted. I am still interested, however, in encryption of some documents. I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives. What is the best way to make it so that my user account has rwx permissions? I could manually do a chmod each time I mount the drive, but that seems silly. Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks,
Hi, iMacGyver.
A. You wrote: " I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives."Were you logged in as root when you created the dmg? Or did you create a read-only image from a folder containing the documents?
To create a disk image to which you can add/remove documents and on which you will have Read/Write permissions:
1. Log in to your account.
2. Launch Disk Utility.
3. Select File > New > Blank Disk Image...
4. In the New Blank Image window, type a name for the new disk image in the Save As field, then select a location for saving the disk image, the desired Size, Encryption (select AES-128 in the pop-up menu), and leave Format as "read/write disk image."
5. Click Create.
6. Provide a password for the disk image when prompted. If you want extra security, de-select the option to save the password in your keychain, but be sure to never forget the password if elect to not save it in your Keychain.
You can then double-click the disk image you just created, type the password when prompted, the disk image will mount, and you can add files to it. Ejecting the disk image will unmount it and all the content you added will be encrypted.
One can use Disk Utility > File > New > Disk Image from Folder... to create either a Read Only or Read/Write encrypted disk image of an existing folder of documents, but if you elect to make it Read/Write there isn't much spare capacity for adding documents as the size of the disk image is based on the size of the folder.
Also, if your comfortable with Terminal, you can look into the hdiutil command for creating and managing disk images.
For example, if in step 4 above you selected the format as "sparse disk image", you'd later need to use the hdiutil command to compact the sparse image to recover disk space from files deleted from the spares disk image. Spare disk images are always Read/Write and only occupy as much hard drive space as the data they contain, e.g. a 100 MB sparse disk image containing 30 MB of files only uses 30 MB of hard disk space: they grow as files are added. A conventional R/W disk image of 100 MB in size takes up 100 MB of hard drive space even if it is empty.
However, when you delete files from a sparse disk image, the amount of hard disk space it occupies does not decrease until you compact it using the compact verb of hdiutil. Disk Utility does not expose all of hdiutil's functions.
B. You wrote: "Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. "I don't understand what you mean. You'll need to be more specific.
C. You wrote: " Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks"To use encrypted swap files, select "Use secure virtual memory" in System Preferences > Security. Depending on the applications you use, there may be a slight performance reduction with encrypted swap.
D. Your questions imply you're new to Mac. While you may be familiar with Linux, there are differences, especially in doing things through the GUI. If that's the case, my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more.
Good luck!

Disk Utility Only Shows HD And Not Superdrive?
When I open Disk Utility on my Snow Leopard iMac, I am shown the HD, the disc burning drive and any disk images on the computer.
However, when I open DU on my Tiger (OSX 10.4.11) eMac I only see the HD . . . . . no sign of the disc burning drive unless I insert a CD/DVD.
Is this normal?Yes, Ian, that is the way 10.4.11 works on my iMac also. Only shows the HD.

Disk Utility crashed during partition and DOUBLED partition use - now it's full?
This one has me stumped.
1TB Disk - NON-start-up - had about 450GB of data files on it.
Split it with disk partition so I could reclaim free space.
Disk Utility crashed during the partition.
Relaunched Disk Utility.
Now shows 900GB of the disk are used.
Tried to repair disk with Disk Utility, "Can't Unmount Disk"
Have rebooted now and am trying to find out WHAT that other 450GB of space taken up actually is. (using WhatSize).
Anyone have any clues what the heck is going on? I now no longer have any space to duplicate the partiion files to (though on another drive completely). I can still access the files but not sure what that other space hog could be....?
Thanks anyone.Techtool Pro was able to determine the directory structure was fubarred - repairing it corrected the structure to report the size correctly.

2009-10-09 21:30:31 +0800:Did you install SL as an upgrade over an existing system? If so I believe the parental controls message may be due to an old ACL. The ARD message is not unusual either. SUID messages should simply be ignored. We all see those. The messages themselves are innocuous. You can safely ignore them as they do not harm.

Please help me, I have a mid 2010 Mac book pro with a toshiba mk3266gsxf harddrive. It started making a clicking noise and then my computer crashed. I proceeded to boot in safe mode, but it doesn't work. When I ran disk utility in recovery mode, it showed no problem with my disk. Does any one know what the problem is?
Sounds like a mechanical problem with the drive and it ruined the sectors where the Macintosh HD partition (and OS X, and files and programs) reside, but not your Recovery HD partition.
If you held command option r while booting, that's Internet Recovery and it's loaded via the Internet, not via the Recovery HD partition on the boot drive, so that could mean the drive is dead mechanically or there is another issue.
In either case the drive will likely have to be replaced, it's a matter of what occured to where and the drive state if you can recover data or not. If you made recent backups then your fine.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

Disk Util shows "decrptedFile.dmg" and below Flash Player - Is this a virus?
While doing some routine maintenance with Disk Utility I see a disk image showing but it is hidden. I have nothing connected by usb except an external HD which is listed separately.
I am worried about this because it shows up as a disk image but I cannot see it.
The string is:
/ROB'S /private/var/folders/00/28smjdm92zs__qh85x2sc2gc0000gp/T/decryptedFile.dmg
I used REVEALER to make the files visible
I find a lot of files in there but I have no flash drive connected.
Is this some kind of hidden virus?
Should I remove these files?OK. Got it.
Thanks for the help and the quick reply!
I booted up from an external HD and checked later and it was gone.
I wouldn't delete it without being sure of what I was doing.
I very much appreciate the information and help!
THANKS!

Boot Camp Hangs, Disk Utility is very slow and gives an error.
Hello,
I would like to install Windows for some games.
But my problem is that when I try to make the boot camp partition it just freezes/hangs 50% in. I have repaired my Disk and it says it is OK.
Got a tip that I could resize my current partition to a smaller size then, make it bigger. This would help bootcamp, but it did not it just hangs around 50% again... I let it say over night, and when I woke up I got a error saying something like
"partition failed at checking archives".
Now I am lost, and do not know what the next step is, this is very annoying and not as easy as I imagned.
Hope you can guide me.I assume this was the "slow boat to China" syndrome using TimeMachine over USB.
Sorry 'bout that, #1 before beginnng partitioning and the rest was "backup before beginning with Boot Camp Assistant"
Disk Utilty RESTORE is a clone style backup (or there are other programs but not on OS X DVD so you need to boot from something), and of course a different interface (eSATA wold be nice, so would TB or FW800) which should have cut it down to less than a day to backup.
60GB per hour and 500GB?

Is there a fix for long "spindle" delays after the 10.6.8 upgrade?
After I downloaded the 10.6.8 upgrade and even the combo pack I get very long delays. Only reverting the system back to 10.6 helps. Any ideas?
