FATAL HARDWARE ERROR

My daughter has a new G4 that I tried to run a disk repair on after it started crashing continously. All that came up was: If the drive has not failed completely back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a working drive:....geesh!! Already...I know this is under repair still but is this really a hardware or a software problem and would something like this be under warranty still? She thought at first it might be a virus but couldn't seem to download any because we kept freezing up everytime we tried to. Any help?

Well, first of all you don't have a virus, if you do, it would be the first reported virus for OSX (in other words its very unlikely).
Have you tried booting from your iBooks install disk? If not do so (hold the "C" key at boot), and launch disk utility from it and try to do the repair.

Is a Disk Utility "fatal hardware Error" Always fatal?

Help!
I'm traveling for the next four weeks and have my lap top with me to do work.
Last night I was working fine on my computer when all of a sudden Photoshop wouldn't open files right. I quite out of Photoshop (slow)
Then tried to quit out of everything else (slow) and finally shut down holding the Power button down. I waited a few minutes and tried to reboot.
It was REALLY slow starting back up. (about 15 to 20 minutes). I held the Power key down to turn it off and left it overnight hoping it would figure itself out by morning.
This am the same start up problem happened. I finally got it opened and manuvered to Disk Utility.
IT GAVE ME THIS MESSAGE
This drive has reported a Fatal Hardware Error to Disk utility.
If the drive has not failed completely, Back up as much as you can and
then replace it with a working drive.
HERE IS WHAT I DID EARLIER IN THE EVENING THAT I THINK MADE IT WACKY.
I hadn't installed SUITCASE X1 yet and was using the program Font Book that comes with the computer. It wasn't satifactory so I went ahead and installed Suitcase X1.
FONT BOOK kept showing a ton of open faces.
I carefully (or so I thought) went through Font Books "All fonts" window and got rid of fonts that I didn't see in the system fonts folder. (I think this is where I really may have screwed up)
FYI I am a graphic designer and use many fonts.
I store all the design fonts in a folder in USERS > SHARED> FONTS
I directed SUITCASE to "Manage system fonts"
Every thing was working fine for a few hours.
I was working in QUARK 6 easily and listening to a Podcast. No problems.
When I went to open PHOTOSHOP, it (Photoshop) started running very slow.
and all the things I mentioned above started to happen.
I have the OS10.4 install disk with me so I tried to boot from it.
(I thought maybe it had a utility on it to help fix things or maybe I could copy any important fonts that I accidently trased
(btw do you hold down OPTION C to boot from a CD or APPLE C?
I tried them all)
I couldn't get it to boot from the CD
Have I really wrecked my computer?
Do we think it's a font problem.
Can I fix it. I'm at the beach in NC and there's no techys around!!!!
I am currently typing this email on the laptop so it's not completely dead.
Just super slow and threatening to die.
What should I do??!!!
Did I mention today is my birthday?
PowerbookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

It's either OPTION or C. Unfortunately, the Install CD doesn't give you much access to file operations (no Finder) as Mac OS 9 and earlier did.
If you could start it in Target Disk Mode and mount the drive on another Mac, or boot it from an external drive with a Mac OS X installation on it you could try to recover files that aren't already backed up.

Disk Utility is reporting a fatal hardware error-S.M.A.R.T. status failing. Is there hope?

OS 10.5.8 on a 1.8 GHz Power PC G5. Installed Western Digital WD1002FAEX as a second internal hard drive. I also installd the jumper needed to slow HD down for this computer. Initialized and formated the HD was able to back up a large iPhoto file and am still able to acceass the file from the new HD. Now Disk Utility is reporting a fatal hardware error-S.M.A.R.T. status failing. Is there hope?

Is that on your first drive or the new one???
Only experience I had with SMART warning was that in less than 48 hrs it was dead for good.

Disk Utility Reporting Fatal Hardware Error

Hello all,
I woke up this morning to the flashing folder with a question mark in it on my MacBook. I know that that means the system can't find the OS so I assumed that my hard drive had magically failed overnight. So I turned my computer off and then rebooted and everything loaded properly. I went into Disk Utility and my main hard drive that has OS X on it is highlighted in red and when I click on it, Disk Utility only displays "This drive has reported a fatal hardware error to Disk Utility. If the drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a working drive."
I have noticed EXTREMELY sluggish performance by my computer in these past two days which has required me to force quit programs and force shut down the system more times than I've had to in the whole time I've had this computer. Could this be a side effect of the failing drive?
I'm backing everything up right now, but I'm wondering how accurate Disk Utility is. The drive that I have in here is a non-Apple-installed 250 GB Western Digital that's been in here for nearly a year. Is it possible that the drive is failing beyond repair already? If so, is there any way to see the full extent of the damage and attempt to repair it before I go out and buy a new hard drive to replace it with?
Thanks for all the help and the fast responses!

yes, it's quite possible.

check the SMART status in disk utility as suggested. if it says anything but "verified" it means that the drive is expected to fail completely and you shouldn't try to repair it. If it says "verified" It's possible that reformatting will fix it so you can try that. this will wipe all the data on it so clone it off first as gbullman suggested. BTW, most drives come with manufacturers warranty longer than a year and you should be able to replace the drive. that's what I would recommend.
Thanks for all the help and the fast responses!

Reported Fatal Hardware Error to Disk Utility

I see the following message in my Power Book G4 Disk Utility:
"This drive has Reported Fatal Hardware Error to Disk Utility. If drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a new drive."
I already made a back up my Home folder to my external HD. The install disk utility reports the same and has grey the repair uptions.
The spinning beachball appears constantly when using Safari and iTunes. What should I do?

If your Mac is no longer under the standard 1-yr warranty period or under the 3-yr extended warranty if you purchased the AppleCare extended warranty for your PB, you need to purchase a new internal hard drive that is compatible with your Mac model. This is something you can install yourself or take your Mac to an Apple authorized repair facility to purchase and have a new internal hard drive installed.
The repair facility should include re-installing whichever OX version and all software that was pre-installed and shipped with this Mac when purchased new. If this wasn't Tiger and you purchased a Tiger retail install package, you can re-install the Tiger upgrade yourself and then replace all data from your backup on the new hard drive.

Passport Ultra 500GB - Fatal Hardware error

I received a WD Passport 500GB for my birthday that was brought 31-07-2015. Since the first time i tried to use the hard drive, it is not accessible and i continuously get messges stating that there is a fatal hard drive error. I have used the WD diagnostic tool and it passed the extended test but the quick test does not complete. The SMART test states that it has failed. i have deleted the drive and tried to reinstall. PLEASE HELP!!

Hi and welcome to the WD community.
This is not a good sign for the drive when it fails the SMART test and does not complete a test is not a good sign, however i would recommend contacting support to see if there is further assistance on this matter:
http://support.wdc.com/country/index.asp?lang=en%22
Also it would be good to test the drive on a different computer to see if you get the same results.

Windows 8.1 Installed now I received a Fatal Device Hardware Error

Windows 8.1 kept popping up to install update. I would refuse it. Then recently it updated itself. After that, i noticed it took a little longer for my laptop to boot. It would show a blue screen for a little bit then it would boot. Yesterday, I received an error (can't remember what it said) needed to restart because of an error. I ran the Hard Disk Test and Quick and then the extensive test. it stops at one sec remaining and noting happens. I did get a fatal device hardware error. Can the update to Windows 8.1 cause this to happen?
This question was solved.

Hi,
That's what it looks like to me too.
You may be able to find a replacement drive for your notebook from the HP Parts Store.

Fatal msi error mp.msi could not be installed

Good morning,

Does anyone have any ideas why I would be receiving this error? These SCCM servers are brand new servers that are replacing our current SCCM 2007 servers and I did notice that somehow the old 2007 SCCM client had gotten installed on this server automatically
so I used ccmsetup /uninstall and also used ccmclean to remove it because I read that might be the issue, but it hasn't resolved the issue.   Any help would be appreciated.   Thanks

WOOT, WOOT! Actually I just got it. I ended up doing the following:
Ran ccmsetup.exe /uninstall and rebooted
Ran ccmclean.exe /all and rebooted
Removed IIS role from server and rebooted
Added IIS role back to server and rebooted
Checked my MPSetup and MPMsi logs and they both show success. Finally!

Boot Camp STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}

I was restarting my Mac Pro using Bootcamp and the following blue screen message displays:
Boot Camp STOP: c000021a {Fatal System Error}
The Windows Logon Process system process terminated unexpectedly with a status of 0x0000135 (0x00000000 0x00000000).
The system has been shut down.
I am running Lion and Windows XP - I have been using this setup successfully for months.
I have tried putting both the Windows XP disc and the OSX disc (Snow Leopard - upgraded to Lion from an App download) in the drive, holding down the 'c' key (to allow the machine to boot from the dvd drive) but it just goes to a black screen and switches off.
Any help to boot up my MacPro would be very much appreciated - I would be happy just to boot it up normally without Windows.
Thanks,
May

Upgrade to Windows 7 (or 8) is really a good idea if you want support, security, better use of resources.
You restarted into Windows (*Boot Camp does not run - anything)
Lion does not support XP but that just means you had it before.
No idea but I can't tell if XP And Lion are on the same hard drive (they should not if possible).
You should make bootable backups of your OS (both).
Pull your hard drives.
Boot into Lion Recovery.
Maybe you have a virus or hardware issue, it is impossible to know.

My iMac 8.1 was slowing down and had permissions problems. I backed everything up, and then re-installed. Now all I get is a black screen. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: HDD-1336. Help!

My iMac 8.1 (10.6.8 ) was slowing down and had recurrent permissions problems, mostly with Java. I backed everything up, and then re-installed from time machine. Now all I get is a black screen which says I need to reboot. Power+D gives me a hardware error message: 4 MOT/1/40000003: HDD-1336 or HDD-1327. When I reboot from the OSX CD and start disc utilities everything checks out OK. When I reload 10.5.2 from the OSX CD everything seems to work OK and no more permissions problems. But then I loose all my email and safari stuff. Anyone have any ideas short of going back to my old PC?

Cheers. Don
No unfortunatley it's too old, you are referring to Target Display Mode which became avialble in 2009, your 2008 needs to have the HD replaced. I'd still do that if everything else is OK or you can simply buy a new MM and display or even a new iMac or an Apple refurbished iMac to save money.

Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph

NOTE: This IS a duplicate post from the Breakpoint. Text slightly changed. The post in Breakpoint can be deleted. All comments should be placed in this thread.
I resolved the "Fatal Internal Error: "image.cpp", line 13192 when trying to insert a cursor to graph", but would like to share to find out if others have seen this and to determine whether this is a bug, or if it's time to redo my PC, or buy a new one..
I have an existing graphs (qt 6) which originally had 2 cursors. This occurred while trying to add the third cursor.
Up until attempting to add the last cursor, the program worked great, and I had been running tests for a while. However, I do recall seeing this problem when creating the original cursors, but not to this extent. Plus I don't remember the original error message from that time.
I needed to add one more cursor to the existing graphs. As soon as I add a new cursor and set it's properties, I get a nasty error message and without warning LV8.2 simply closes itself (well, the only warning was the error message. Tried it 3 times, same result.
Here are the steps:
Shut down the PC, went for a coffee, rebooted the PC. Opened the LV project, opened the VI. Immediately went to the graph properties to add the new cursor by doing the following steps:
Right click graph indicator icon on block diagram.
Select Properties.
Click on cursor tab.
Click on Add
Select Cursor 2 (3rd one, newly created)
Change color
Select cursor as a line
Remove checkmark for "show cursor"
Click OK
I need to do this to 3 other graphs, same steps. And as soon as I get to the step before clicking OK, I get the error message.
I managed to get an additional one done, by immediately saving after each step (yep going in & out of the properties). But I've had this problem before when creating the first two cursors.
Is it a bug? Anyone else seen this? Using LV8.2. And the message is right about LOOSING ALL unsaved work!!!!
Here are more observations:
Tried creating a new one on the second graph. As soon as I clicked on the color, it crashed!
See the error explanation below. It is really clear, now anyone can solve it    LOL!!... According to the error log, there's a bad image out there
.\manager\image.cpp(13192) : DAbort: bad image in ValidateImage

I observed the title bar after making changes to the properties. I noticed that 3 out of 4 times, while changing the properties of the graphs to include the cursor, and saving after each & every step, that there were no stars appearing on the title bar to indicate "unsaved changes". Saving was also much slower than usual. I suspect, the program never got to placing the star before saving occurred. However, I am noting everything.
After creating the cursors, saving was and is normal, and the program runs well..   I have run tests without problems.
Does anyone have a clue at what causes this? Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
RayR

Hi Donovan,
I can't remember seeing this elsewhere. When I get a chance, I'll create a new (blank) vi with new graphs and will repeat the steps.
I will let you know if I see this in the new vi.
Thanks!

Berkeley db fatal region error detected run recovery

Hi,
I have initiated d Berkeley DB object.
Then, I am using multithreading to put data into the DB.
Here is how I open the one data handler.
ret = dbp->open(dbp, /* Pointer to the database */
NULL, /* Txn pointer */
db_file_name, /* File name */
db_logical_name , /* Logical db name (unneeded) */
DB_BTREE, /* Database type (using btree) */
DB_CREATE, /* Open flags */
0644); /* File mode. Using defaults */
each threads would put data into the same handler when it needs to.
I am getting "berkeley db fatal region error detected run recovery".
What is the problem? Does it have anything to do with the way the handler is created or whether multiple threads can put data into the DB?

Hi jb,
user8712854 wrote:
I am getting "berkeley db fatal region error detected run recovery".This is a generic Berkeley DB panic message that means something went wrong. When do you get this error? Did you enable the verbose error messages? Are there any other warning/error messages reported? By just posting the way you open the database doesn't help much at all. I reviewed the other questions you asked on the forum, and it seems that you are not following the advices and consult the documentation, but you prefer to open new threads. I advice you to first work on configuring Berkeley DB for your needs and read the following pages in order to understand which Berkeley DB Product best suits your application and how it should be configured for a multithreaded application:
[The Berkeley DB products|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/intro/products.html]

[Berkeley DB handles|http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/db/ref/program/scope.html]
On the other hand, if the code that's calling the Berkeley DB APIs is not too big and is not private, you can post it here so we can review it for you and let you know what's wrong with it.
The procedures you should follow in order to fix a "run recovery" error are described here:

Hardware error (Sense code23A00) - Now what should I do? Please advice...

Hello,
I would like to burn a new project to a DVD. Encore is giving me the following message over and over: "Encore was unable to complete the operation because of a hardware error (Sense Code 23A00). Contact the hardware manufacturer.
Please advise me what the best next step is I can take...
My version of Encore (CS3) sits on a Windows XP SP2 machine that is newly installed (last week) and still squeaky clean. I don't know who the manufacturer of the DVD-drive is. It worked fine before, and it works fine with other DVD0-burning software now (I know that doesn't mean a lot).
I use Imation DVD+RW discs. Before my clean install I had CS2 and it worked fine with these DVD's.
I have read the "Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V" document. None of the points there really seemed to matter to me (I don't have any of the identified problems, and use Nero software, which it does not reference). One point that does raise some questions is #14: "Disable the Windows XP packet writing utility": when I click on properties for the DVD-drive there is no Recording tab. Is that an indication of something that might be wrong? I have also searched these forums and read all the postings I could find on similar sounding messages.
It now seems I have three options. Which would you advise?
1. I can buy DVD's of another brandname, or not +RW. Interestingly enough, when I burn a DVD it goes through the process of acquiring all the data and checking transcoding settings, and then quits as soon as it really needs to start writing.
2. I can buy and install another DVD-burner. What brand would you advise?
3. I can tell Encore to create a DVD image ad then use Imgburn to burn said image to a DVD. Not a fan of this approach, I don't want to buy another program.
I can go any of these three roads. Perhaps there is a 4th option I have not thought of? I am kind of hoping someone will see my message and know exactly what the problem is... #1 is of course the easiest and cheapest option. Problem is none of the solutions guarantee success...
I would really appreciate any input you might be able to give me! Thanks in advance,

>...and use Nero software, which it does not reference.
The
Things and Software to avoid when authoring for DVD-V
FAQ does mention Nero:
5. InCD: This is packet writing software that comes bundled with Ahead Nero Burning Rom. This package will load a packet-writing software that will constantly talk to your CD/DVD writer, and can cause a number of issues while trying to write a disc. Disabling this software is not enough, as a portion of this package is always running after you start windows. You will need to uninstall it in Add/Remove programs, then reboot to remove it.
If your installation of Nero didn't include its packet writing part then this doesn't apply obviously.
>...when I click on properties for the DVD-drive there is no Recording tab.
Could possibly be an indication that the drive isn't properly recognized by Windows. While you are in the Properties screen, what does it display as name for the drive?

Hi,
I tried the link said above but didnt help. I was still getting the same error.
What I tried is loading a OS of different vesion (in my case XP Professional). This loaded succesfully and I could recover some of my data. For some data, I am getting access rights error.
I am finding out if there is any way I can fully recover my data.
Thanks for your help,
