Disk Warrior and a Lacie little big drive

Hi
I have a 5 month old Lacie little big drive which I use for back ups etc. Yesterday I plugged it in and got the message ' The disk you inserted is not readable by this computer'
I have tried to see what the problem is through Disk Warrior. DW takes a couple of hours rebuilding the directory structure and mounts the drive.
The problem I have I cannot do anything with the data/drive as it is locked. I have followed the advice in the DW manual and cannot find how to unlock the drive through DU? HELP!

At the end of the DW process, does DW permit you to review the rebuilt directory structure before committing? If so, DW will mount the disk for you to review. At that point, you should have read access to the disk as if it was a regular local volume.
If you cannot figure out how to fix the problem, you can use that feature to copy off your data. If you have enough room on another disk, you can even make a disk image of the "for review" disk using Disk Utility. After making sure the disk image mounts, you can reformat the drive and restore from the disk image.
I did that once when directory damage was too severe for DW to fix completely. However, it let me use that review feature to get most of my data back.

RAID Slice Failed on my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive

I was working in FCPX 10.8 on my Macbook Air using my 2tb Lacie Little Big Drive with thunderbolt connection when I got an improper disk removal message pop up. I hadn't removed the cable and the power had been on all of the time. From then on I couldn't get my drive to mount. I was working from this drive that is RAID 0. I have also tried the drive on my imac but no joy either.
I have used disk utility to verify and it says that all seems ok. But when you look at one of the RAID Slices it says Failed.
See attachment:
I have also tried Disk Warrior but it only sees the drive in the hardware section and again says that the drive appears to be functioning normally.
Is there any way of fixing this or will I need to re format. I will lose a fairly important project if this is the case.
Many thanks
Sam

Your LaCie Little Big Drive contains two 1 TB hard drives configured as a Raid 0 striped volume. I believe Raid 0 is the “as shipped” setup. It improves disk performance by splitting the data stream such that each drive only has to process half of the data.
The downside of a Raid 0 setup is that all data will be lost if either of the drives fail. Unfortunately, that appears to be your situation as the Disk Utility screen shot shows that hard drive disk 1s2 has failed. You haven’t found any obvious problems in the troubleshooting you’ve done, so your best bet would probably be to contact LaCie and ask for their help before attempting to reformat the drive. As you know, reformatting will eliminate any possibilty of recovering your important project.
I use a similar LaCie Thunderbolt drive configured as Raid 0 on my iMac. FCPX performance, especially playback, is far superior to my USB 2.0 external drives and somewhat better than my FW800 drive. I copy clips I’m using to the LaCie drive and keep the originals on a separate external drive. I believe this is now referred to as a “managed” library in FCPX 10.1 which, in my opinion, greatly simplifies backup and protection of one’s work.
Good luck and please let us know if you are able to find a solution.

Where to buy??? Looking to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive

Hey guys,
I recently have concluded I would like to purchase a LaCie Little Big Drive 320G drive to replace the EZQ drive that I bought and now is DOA. My question is however where one can find one of these drives without paying an insane amount. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I would recommend buying it either on the apple store or directly from LaCie. If you want to save some money, you could try your chances on eBay but it could be risky.

There is no display on Apple Thunderbolt display, when Daisy chain connect with six LaCie Little Big Disks.

Hi, Everyone,
I have aquestion with Thunderbolt daisy chan.
I have six LaCie Little Big Disks and Apple Thunderbolt Display to make daisy chan and I got a problem.
I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront, and Apple Thunderbolt Display does not show anything.
If I plac the dell u2711 (DP1.1) Display at the end of the chain, and six LaCie Little Big Disks infront , dell u2711(DP1.1) displays.
If I place the Apple Thunderbolt Display at the end of the chain,and five LaCie Little Big Disks infront. Apple Thunderbolt Displays well.
Is it because the hardware limitation that Thunderbolt daisy chan can only have maximum 6 Thunderbolt deivce?
Apple Thunderbolt Display Should be DP1.2, why it doesn’t display?
My workstation running Windows 7x64 or Windows8.1x64
Thanks ,Myron

if you reduce the number of disks to 5 and the display works, I think we'll have your answer.

Mac Mini has crashed - Disk Warrior and External Hard Drive Question.

I have Mac Mini that has crashed. I purchased Disk Warrior and was able to boot from the CD. Disk Warrior allowed me to see my files again but there is no way I can move them back onto my hard drive. I cannot grab them. Before I go into specifics....If I purchase an external hard drive and try to hook it up to my Mac Mini, will I be able move these files to this new external hard drive? Is this a possibility?
Or will my new external hard drive need to go through a set up phase - which might be impossible since hard drive I'm trying to take the files from is technically dead?
Sorry - I'm a novice at these things.

Hello, no apologies needed for being a novice, great you asked!
YES, depends where you buy the Drive, it may need Formatting first to Mac OS Extended...
How to format your disks...
http://www.kenstone.net/fcp_homepage/partitioning_tiger.html
(To Install OSX on an IntelMac the Drive it needs the GUID Partitioning scheme mentioned at the bottom.)
Thanks to Pondini, Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks...
http://Pondini.org/OSX/DU.html
These generally come Mac Ready, & get Firewire if you have a Firewire port, much faster...
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/firewire/1394/USB/EliteAL/eSATA_FW800_FW400_USB
Then in DiskWarrior, hold Option or alt key when selecting Internal to repair, that will do the best job of Scavenging the directory & provide a whole new Drive icon to copy or clone your info over to the external drive.

Disk Warrior and 'The Folder with the ? Mark'

Good morning. My MacBook recently crashed and I am left with the dreaded and endlessly blinking 'Question Mark Folder'. I have tried to restart using the System Disk and running Disk Utility but the Hard Drive is nowhere to be found.
I have read in the Discussions that running DiskWarrior may help. I have the program on my PowerBook G4 as well as on an external hard drive, but I do not have a DiskWarrior disc. Is there a way to run the program from these to repair the drive on my MacBook or retrieve my data? If not, is there a way to make a DiskWarrior disc from my .dmg file?
Thanks for your help.
John

Disk Warrior comes on a bootable disc unless you downloaded it or lost yours. You cannot easily make a bootable CD or DVD, but your could put it on a bootable external hard drive that has a bootable copy of OS X (current version) and your copy of DW must be at least 4.0 for Tiger or 4.1 for Leopard.
However, it's most unlikely that DW will help you because the question mark means that important system files are lost or corrupted. The solution is to reinstall OS X. It's possible you can do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

My iMac, OS 10.7.5, is abnormally slow on start-up, taking many minutes for my password sign-in window to show up. I've run Disk Permissions and have verified my hard drive and all is in order. What do I do to start up my Mac in a normal manner?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console 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 Console in the icon grid.
Step 1
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Enter "BOOT_TIME" (without the quotes) in the search box. Note the timestamps of those log messages, which refer to the times when the system was booted. Now clear the search box and scroll back in the log to the last boot time when you had the problem. Select the messages logged after the boot, during the time something abnormal was happening. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
For example, if the problem is a slow startup taking three minutes, post the messages timestamped within three minutes after the boot time, not before. Please include the BOOT_TIME message at the beginning of the log extract.
If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Don’t post many repetitions of the same message.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.
Step 2
Still in Console, look under System Diagnostic Reports for crash or panic logs, and post the entire contents of the most recent one, if any. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if present (it may not be.) Please don’t post shutdownStall, spin, or hang logs — they're very long and not helpful.

Disk Warrior and Drive Genius Kernel Panic

I'm using an early 2011 Mac Book Pro 2.0GHz i7. Unable to boot from Disk Warrior 4.3 or 4.2 and Drive Genius 3.02. It is causing a kernel panic. I just bought this
Mac Book Pro two day's ago. This is my second MBP in three day's. The first one just blew up. Anyone else have this issue?

Neither DW nor DG versions are on discs that can boot your model. You need an external drive with a bootable system installed and on which you have DW and DG installed. Then boot from the external in order to DW or DG on your MBP's internal drive. Alternatively, you can install a bare copy of OS X onto a 16 GB USB flash drive along with DW and DG.

Using "Bootable" - discs for HD Inspection- Disk Warrior and Drive Genius

I have a reasonably new I-Mac G-5 (i-sight) purchased in late Dec. 05. I was advised by the dealer that Disk Warrior would be a good investment - In February, I thought that I would use it to check on my HD-- This is Disk Warrior version 3.0.3 rev.39. It is bootable holding down C key after restart, but it just shows the Apple logo, spins and spins then shows a circle with a diagonal line through it. After a very long wait, I cannot get the disk to eject (just keeps spinning). Only way that I can get it out is to cut the power to the computer, restart and then eject the disk when it shows up on the desktop. I later purchased Drive Genius and it does the same thing. I have previously used Norton Utilities for years on my earlier Macs -- No problems. What's wrong?

i Mac G-5 i sight Mac OS X (10.4.5) 1gb of memory -use HP Laserjet 1320 and Epson R300M printer

Just one thing, you say you previously used Norton Utiliities.
FYI. Norton was the industry standard when Peter Norton Owned the Co. and was excellent for OS9. The combination of Peter Norton selling to Symantic and the advent of OSX Norton is no longer the standard at which all others are judged. It has become poison to OSX.
I suggest get rid of anything you have on your computer Norton and repair permissions and see if this improves your problems.
You may have to use the Uninstaller.

Disk Warrior and Quicktime 7.04

I was having problems running Disk Warrior 3.03 (DW) from my cloned (using Super Duper) external firewire external hard drive (Lacie d2 HD 250GB). (NEW iMacG5 iSight)
The problem:
Boot from the clone and ran DW, at the completion of DW if I chose to "Replace" the directory DW crashes after replacement.
Alsoft tech support:
The issue is created with the installation of QuickTime 7.0.4. The actual DiskWarrior rebuild process is completed and the crash will do no harm to your data.
The current options are:
1) Downgrade QuickTime to 7.0.1
Apple has released a QuickTime 7.0.1 re-install located here:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime704.html
2) Start up from the DiskWarrior CD and rebuild the directory of the drive from the CD.
I tested with both QT versions and sure enough everything worked as support advised from the external FW HD.
P.S. I went back to QT 7.04
Hope this helps someone.

Thank you. This is definitely most helpful to me.

Backing up, Disk Warrior and SuperDuper....

Hi everyone! I recently bought a second internal drive for backing up everything as my current one is being a little sluggish and sketchy. Anyway, have been reading older posts on SuperDuper for cloning my drive (the paid version) which seems like a good idea. Was also looking to buy Disk Warrior also to keep my drives all clean and tidy. But will DW work on my cloned drive? Sorry if that's a silly question, feel free to mock me Just curious, as presumably any bad directory errors, etc on my main drive, will simply copy right over to my backup using SuperDuper, wont they? I do have my stuff backed up already, so I'll actually be formatting both internal drives so I'll be starting fresh.
Thanks
Phil

Hi-
Yes, you can use DW on any hard drive. And, yes, cloning without repair will result in cloned problems.
So, first repair, then clone. After that, everyone's happy!
BTW, I use both, and am very satisfied with the results!

Kernel Panic PERSISTS :/ after multiple Disk Warrior and Disk Repairs

Hey guys, I need your wisdom!
My OS took a dump on me the other night. Finder froze up and when I restarted, I got this at boot up, (see below, after my whole explaination as to what I've tried).
So, I bought an external drive, partitioned and installed Mavericks OS, along with Disk Warrior.
I ran through everything on DW and it seemed to find issues and repair the problems. Then I ran it through Disk Utility and it all checked out, "ok".
However, when I went to restart with my main OS, it gave the kernel panic error, again.
I'm frustrated, needless to say. I've repeatedly tried to rebuild the drive, repair disk permissions, etc, and every time it seems to "work" but it doesn't.
I am running a data recovery program and it's seeming to find all my files there. But, I really want to just try to resolve this problem to access the drive and do a backup from within.
Please, what are you thoughts on this?

Um, so what about the TM backup, will it not transfer over the kernel panic errors?
Target Disk Mode requires a second Mac. It puts a "bad" Mac which may have hardware issues and cannot boot properly, in a mode where the internal drive can be mounted on a second Mac as an external Thunderbolt/Firewire drive.
1. Power cycle Kernel-Panic MAC (KP-MAC) in TDM by holding the T key at the chime. If you see a floating FW symbol, then the KP-MAC is in TDM.
2. Use a second Mac (Good-MAC) and connect the KP-MAC via Thunderbolt/FW cables as appropriate. This may require a TB-to-FW adapter, a FW800-to-FW400 "gender-bender" and an appropriate cable.
3. Once the KP-MAC drive is visible on the G-MAC, you can either create a full disk image backup of the KP-MAC Disk.
4. You can also configure an external drive as a TM target and backup KP-MAC's internal drive via TM with appropriate TM Options.
5. In this case the KP-MAC OS is not in use, just the hardware/firmware which is required to put it in TDM.
This can be useful when your graphics card or display may not work properly, but the CPU/Memory/Disk ar relatively unaffected.
How do I even do a TM backup on that original drive from my temp OS?
As suggested earlier, TM can be used.
Linc suggested using Disk Utility and doing it that way to make a backup and then transferring over everything to a newly installed OS that way.
In TDM, if a TM backup is not possible, for any number of reasons, Disk Utility can create an image of KP-MAC's drive which can be moved to any desired location and files can be extracted as necessary.
Another option is to create an external bootable OS on a USB/FW disk, boot from it, assuming that KP-MAC can be booted and does not have significant HW issues, and create a Disk Image to an external disk destination.
It's almost 15 years of my life on there.
Hence the need for a very good backup/restore strategy.

Disk Warrior and MacBook

I have spend the first day with my new MB, and so far so good - yes, a bit hot in the upper left corner of the keyboard while charging battery, but the temperatures are arround 58C for the CPUs and 34C for the SmartDisk (btw could someone explain to me what that exactely is?). Shouldn't there be another temperature sensor for the hard drive? And should I worry about temperatures at all, if the machine is working well and the heat is not really affecting my hands?
My other question is does Disk Warrior work on MB? I forgot how to boot from the external hard drive, could anyone remind me... which key?
Thanks again. Will have many more questions, but I better go one by one.
Zo

Don't worry to much with the heat, if it is working just fine and not making your lap and hand uncomfortable.
Which disk warrior version do you have?
here the link to double check:
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/support.html#Tiger
To start up from external HD, go to system preference > start up disk > select the one you want to use for start up, or you can press option while restarting and it will display the option for you to boot from.
Good Luck

Disk Warrior and a Lacie little big drive
