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?

    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.

  • WD Hard drive causing Kernel Panics

    I recently came home to find one of my hard drives missing from the desktop, I restarted and the drive reappeared. Ran Disk Utility on the drive and it's reported as fine, also S.M.A.R.T. says its fine. But within 2 to 6 minutes the computer will kernel panic (sometimes only getting a 3rd of the way down the screen), panic.log is never updated either so I can't post that info. I've reset PRAM to no avail. When I restart the drive sometimes doesn't appear at all or takes some time to appear.
    The only thing that stops the kernel panic is to remove the offending 500GB Western Digital sata in bay 3. I need to to get the information off of that drive but can't keep the computer on long enough before a KP happens again. Disk Warrior and Drive Genius report no errors though running a hardware test in Disk Warrior immediately freezes the machine.
    Occasionally the drive will appear and occasionally it won't show up anywhere - not even Disk Utility. I must have some sort of HD controller issue with the drive.
    Does anyone know how I could get the info from the drive - maybe put it into a USB caddy? Anyone else experienced anything like this? It certainly doesn't seem very common.

    Thanks, The hatter, I'll get a enclosure tomorrow, I need the data off the drive more than anything else. Perfectly happy to trash said WD drive afterwards, I've come close already
    I only get k/ps when drive is in bay. Drive occasionally won't show up with Disk Utility and sometimes will, which strikes me that it's a serious hardware problem. Root mode boot and safe mode change nothing - sometimes I'll get a Kernel panic while the apple logo is still showing. Take drive out and system is perfectly fine.
    Have started to get data off but get k/p after about 5 mins so will take a while. Some is backed up (it's my iTunes library but I backed it up 4 months ago), but could do with around 250Gb of raw firewire movie files dumped from (now blanked) tape that I've yet to process. The data seems fine, just something is causing the k/p. Reboot occasionally shows drive, occasionally doesn't in Disk Utility...
    Also tried MacDrive on Bootcamp partition - but XP crashes pretty quickly with a freeze. Will check out WDs Windows/Dos utitlity now you've mentioned it, it is a WD drive after all. So not much better under XP.
    Have done extensive RAM tests just to make sure it wasn't that, including reseating and PRAM and SMC reset, but things are fine without drive in bay (and I've another 3 drives in bays working fine including my main Boot drive).
    I'd let Disk Warrior do it's work if I didn't think I'd get a kernel panic halfway through... which worries me.. I'd tried booting from Disk Warrior's bootdisk CD and got a kernel panic during boot.
    I've now been using this mac for 5 hours now without drive in bay so it's not the mac itself.
    Is there anyway of deleting possibly corrupt journal (spotlight does seems to constantly re-index on startup - but only when said drive is in bay) maybe with Terminal?
    I'm wary of repartioning as I'll surely get a k/p during the process...

  • 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.

  • Leopard Disk made my Mac Pro Kernel Panic

    I have used original OSX 10.5 Leopard Disk to repair my mac pro HD, but it made my Mac Pro Kernel Panic. It was strange that the Mac Pro install disk one can success enter install mode!
    Although I have conducted RESET PRAM procedure, the Leopard disk still made the mac Kernel Panic.

    I would like to ask if you upgraded your graphics card and if so, that it might require a later OS version than the DVD.
    Two, I never use the DVD to repair permissions (Apple warns users to not use the DVD to do so now with Leopard); or to repair disk drives.
    You are better off setting up a bootable hard drive for emergencies; a bootable clone of your working system; and, TimeMachine, so you have more than just one backup set or method.
    Kernel panics are caused by hardware otherwise, most often due to 3rd party devices and even cables, including Firewire or USB.

  • External Drive causes Kernel Panic

    I've been struggling with Time Machine on a Seagate external 1TB drive. Backups have failed consistently since I upgraded to Lion, taking a really long time or generating error messages and failing.

    I disabled spotlight on the external, except for the backups.
    I had installed MicroMat's CheckMate. I'm wondering if there was some sort of collision between Checkmate and Time Machine that could have trashed the external drive.
    This is a drag, because my iTunes and iPhoto libraries are also on that same external drive. I would like to find out how to recover the external drive... is there way to plug it in without it mounting in order to repair it with Disk Utility, for example?

    Most likely, one of these are the culprits.

  • 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.

  • Upgraded and now get Kernel Panic

    Upgraded tonight and immediately got Kernel Panic's and now cannot boot from disk or in safe mode. Please please help. This is why I didn't want to upgrade.

    I've been running SL for over a year on my 24" iMac. SL isn't the issue; most likely, bad RAM.
    See
    What is a kernel panic,
    Technical Note TN2063: Understanding and Debugging Kernel Panics,
    Mac OS X Kernel Panic FAQ,
    Resolving Kernel Panics, and
    Tutorial: Avoiding and eliminating Kernel panics for more details.

  • 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.

  • HT1820 how do you restore the hard drive with install cd after zeroing out all files? when i try to boot install disk or from usb a kernel panic screen appears telling me to restart my computer.

    everytime i try to boot installation a message appears saying 'you need to restart your computer. holddown the power button until power is off then press down power button again'. i read that it was a kernel panic. cant boot into any modes but recovery mode with disk utilities but my wireless internet says no wifi hardware installed and sometimes startup manager. this just started after i erased the hard drive and had it overwritten with zeros. its a macbook pro 7,1. bought it in 2011, i think it was made in 2009. it has 320 gb of empty space right now and nothing ive tried seems to work. please help!!!! there is also no os x installed right now due to me zeroing out the hard drive how do i repair it so it will boot to installation?? i can also enter single user mode but do not have root access?

    You are getting a kernel panic because you are trying to boot the computer with a Tiger DVD. That model requires 10.6.3 - Snow Leopard. You can purchase replacement discs from Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

  • 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.

  • I'm sick and tired of Kernel Panics!

    I can't deal with this machine anymore. I realize that I have a four year old macbook that isn't the world's fastest machine, but after four years, this thing should still be able to hang. Unfortunately, it can't. I'm getting kernel panics at the silliest of times, lately the offense seems to be that my screen saver DARES to turn on (and no, it's not a third party screensaver - it's a native MAC screensaver). My fan is ALWAYS running, it seems, and I'm getting CPU spikes all over the place. If it's not crashing when the screen saver is active, it's crashing because flash pushes the CPU usage too high. If it's not freaking out then, it's freaking out when the CPU decides to spike when running Ableton live 8.01 into a presonus firebox; the CPU spikes, the audio freezes up, the firebox loses its connection to the computer, and everything hangs for a minute or so.
    I'm not running any insane 3rd party software or hacks, everything is up to date, I run cron jobs all the time to keep things fresh, I run Onyx and repair permissions all the time, my disk is in fine order, I'm running 10.5.8, and yet, this machine is turning into a freaking brick. I'm not an idiot, I know more than I need to know about computers to know that this thing should be a lot more stable than it is. It's never been dropped, never had water damage, never been mistreated.
    I've been in and out of the genius bar bringing this issue up multiple times, having run memory tests and other barrages of tests both on my own at the apple store to test for issues, and no, nothing's been found, but this machine just seems to get worse and worse. Of course, now my applecare has run out, so I'm SOL anyway if anything hardware related really is wrong with this machine, which I still believe it is.
    This machine started with 10.4 installed on it, and I updated to 10.5. There were no issues in the update.
    The only thing that I can think of doing is reinstalling OS X, but I REALLY don't want to do that right now. I have too many projects I'm working on, I can't take the full day it'll take to reinstall EVERY single piece of software that I have. I know that I'll have to do a full clean reinstall, because doing an archive and reinstall will only carry over software problems, if there are any.
    I realize the good things that come with a clean install, but like I say, I really, really don't have time for it right now, and I can't say when I will, being that this machine is how I make my living. So what am I supposed to do?

    I'm not running any insane 3rd party software or hacks, everything
    is up to date, I run cron jobs all the time to keep things fresh, I run
    Onyx and repair permissions all the time, my disk is in fine order,
    I'm running 10.5.8, and yet, this machine is turning into a freaking
    brick. I'm not an idiot, I know more than I need to know about
    computers to know that this thing should be a lot more stable than
    it is. It's never been dropped, never had water damage, never been
    mistreated.
    HP printer drivers (current crash). I guess that is not insane, but
    then again, I always found the HP drivers to be annoying
    But your March 3rd crash seems to be 'ScreenSaverEngin'.
    Years and years ago, I know I had issues with Screen Savers.
    So these days I run about as basic a screen saver as I can
    ("Computer Name"). I also got tired of the fancy stuff,
    so the "Computer Name" screen saver is fine with me.
    If the process/driver that crashes is always different, then Memory
    is the most common cause, especially if there is 3rd party memory
    installed (I have nothing against 3rd party memory, as I use it all
    the time; it has just been a factor in may crash situations). And
    Apple memory is not always innocent, but less frequently guilty
    of failing.
    Now if there have been zero memory changes in the 4 years, then
    I would be less likely to single out any memory, and now I would
    lump it in equally with the Motherboard failing.
    System tests might not detect anything if the problem is environmentally
    triggered, such as the unit becoming warm. When you take it to
    an Apple Store, it will most likely have cooled down, and may take a
    while to get to the warm failing state.
    Oh yea. Do you plug in USB devices? I ask, because historically, the
    second most common cause of repeated system crashes have been
    caused by a failing USB device. Then again, that also tends to
    include the USB driver in the list of kernel components at the time
    of the crash.
    The only thing that I can think of doing is reinstalling OS X, but I
    REALLY don't want to do that right now. I have too many projects
    I'm working on, I can't take the full day it'll take to reinstall EVERY
    single piece of software that I have. I know that I'll have to do a
    full clean reinstall, because doing an archive and reinstall will only
    carry over software problems, if there are any.
    I realize the good things that come with a clean install, but like I
    say, I really, really don't have time for it right now, and I can't say
    when I will, being that this machine is how I make my living. So
    what am I supposed to do?
    Since you are running Leopard, you can do an "Archive & Install"
    which will leave your personal stuff alone, and just replace the
    Operating System.

  • Lion NetBoot and NetInstall causing kernel panic

    I'm trying to get NetBoot and NetInstall working on a recently set up a new Mac Mini with OS X Lion Server.
    We previously had Snow Leopard server and moved the existing images onto the Lion Server. However, when trying to boot off either image the machines kernel panic.
    Have tried creating new images, but with the same result.
    Anyone with similar issues who have managed to fix it?

    Thanks for your reply. I will try what you suggest and also read through the troubleshooting tips you linked to. Cheers!
    I do have have some furher information about the problem.
    Definitely some strange behaviour here - I'll try to explain is as well as I can.
    Started out activating one NetInstall image of Lion 10.7.2 (did not have 10.7.3 on hand). When testing with my MacBook Pro (17-inch, Mid 2009) currently runing Lion (came with Snow Leopard), I got a kernel panic. However, when choosing the NetInstall image as startup disk via System Prefrences, it boots up fine via this image.
    After a while I also added a Snow Leopard NetInstall image (newly created on one of our machines still running Snow Leopard). With the Lion set to be the default netboot image. When booting my machine into startup manager, then pressing 'N' to see netboot images, I only get one additional icon (despite there being two enabled images) with the server IP underneath. When selecting that icon, the machine boots up with the Snow Leopard installer (despite Lion being set as the default).
    Trying the same with an iMac without a hard drive, this iMac would have come with Snow Leopard preinstalled, shows me both NetInstall images in startup manager, but I get a kernel panic when trying to boot off the Snow Leopard image - not the Lion image. Selecting the Lion image as startup disk while booted from the SL image results in a successful boot from the Lion image.
    To recap:
    On MacBook Pro
    Startup manager, Lion boot = kernel panic
    Startup manager, SL boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, Lion boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, SL boot = success
    On iMac
    Startup manager, Lion boot = success
    Startup manager, SL boot = kernel panic
    Startup disk chooser, Lion boot = success
    Startup disk chooser, SL boot = success
    The above is true when sharing the images both over NFS and HTTP.

  • Firewire drives cause kernel panic on PPC, not Intel

    I'm trying to get three firewire drives to work on a PowerMac G5. Before updating to 10.4.8, they worked individually, but not chained together. Now, if you connect any one of them, the system has a kernel panic. They would cause the panic on the earlier version of 10.4 when chained together. Everything works perfectly on a MacBook and a MacBook Pro, both running 10.4.8.
    Below are the notes I took on the three drives as I was troubleshooting. All three are from Maxtor.
    Drive 1:
    300GB
    EDA EB300G0160101
    Has a filesystem, but Disk Utility claims there is no partition. It mounts on an Intel Mac, but causes a kernel panic on a G5.
    Filesystem is Mac OS Standard
    G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
    G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
    Drive 2:
    200GB
    EDA Ay200A0260101
    Has a Mac OS Extended filesystem
    G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
    G5 Panics when trying to mount drive.
    Drive 3:
    300GB
    EDA BA300D0080101
    Has a Mac OS Extended (Journaled) filesystem.
    G5 System will panic while booting if the drive is connected and turned on.
    G5 panics when trying to mount drive.
    Because of the change when 10.4.8 was installed, I suspect this is a driver problem. It could also be a controller problem that just happened to get worse when the update was done.
    I ran the Apple Service Diagnostic on this machine and was unable to find anything wrong since I replaced both CPUs.
    Any ideas?
    PowerMac G5 dual 1.8   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    If the drives were formatted on the Intel Mac then they will have a GUID partition map installed on the drive. PPC Macs will not understand the GUID partition scheme which may be the root cause of your problem. If you want to use the drives on both platforms they need to be re-partitioned using the APM partition scheme.
    Also, you should not use Mac OS Standard. You should use Mac OS Extended (Journaled.)
