Hi Hussein,
Thanks very much for your help, i always rely on you.
yes i did, i make sure the database completely shutdown before doing the backup. It just happens to this instance.
i deleted the instance and restore it again.hopefully this time it will work.

  • External Hard Drive not Readable & Input/Output Error?

    I was using my OWC 300gb external hard drive for a while and it's worked great. I had a bunch of files on it, but I recently transferred everything to another external HD I have, which worked fine, so I could erase this 300gb one. I can't remember what happened, but somehow my Macbook doesn't recognize this hard drive. I think erased everything and then unplugged it without ejecting it first. Anyways, nothing is on the the drive anymore and I get this error message:
    "The disk you inserted was not readable by your computer"
    This pops up when I restart my Macbook. When I try to use Disk Utility, it greys everything out on the partition and Disk Repair tabs. On the 'Erase' tab, it will allow me to select Erase, but then gives me the error:
    "Input/Output error"
    Does anyone know how to get my Macbook to see my drive (so I can start to partition it)? For some reason only Disk Utility acknowledges it's there, Finder won't.
    Anyone have any tips of what it is or what I can try? I did try to use my OS discs booting up holding C, but that doesn't work either.

    Hi there. Everyone is saying on these forums that the hard drive is failing...suck. I went and bought a new when I got input/output error and found that the new one showed the same input output error, making it impossible to partition the disk. Then the guy in the apple service center told me the new one was bad too, after having seen the code that came up related to my new scorpio 250 GB drive. Instead of sending it back, I took it out and installed the old one..however this time with a slihtly more of pressure on the tape holding down the hard drive cable between the hard drive and the circuit board. Amazingly, this time it didn't even show any hard drive at all! Then I understood what was wrong. It was exactly what was indicated an "input/output errror"! ..the cable was broken. I bought a new cable, well the Powerbookmedic sold it as new but it was an old working one that arrived. Immediately, after change of cable the old hard drive and now also the new 250 GB works perfectly! I remember that some interesting symptoms prior to all hard drive problems appeared, such as not being able to start up properly, strange blue screens, flipping question marks etc. I remember that shaking the comp occasionally worked to get it going. No wonder, shaking occasionally made it work and i believe the damaged cable maybe changed position and started conducting. The cable is very sensitive and probably should not be taped down so hard as the first service center guy at apple had done with mine when he fixed it the comp a few years ago. Polymers/plastics bent heavily become fragile/brittle with time and are specially sensitive under pressure/bent. Note that my old damaged cable still conducted and showed the hard drives but didn't work fully. I hope this will help someone, it took me 2 month to figure out..

  • Leopard Disk Utility and Input/Output error messages.

    This post is describing a problem I had and how I managed to fix it. When I was researching the Input/Output error message I was getting a couple of people had mentioned this fix on the apple discussion boards, so I thought I would add my fix to support them. (Isn't google fab!) I've no idea if this is the right place for this so please bear with me.
    Okay a bit of background:- over christmas we treated ourselves to leopard and as my laptop is now three years old I decided to do a complete reformat and installation. I used my 60GB iPod as an external harddrive and backed everything up. Installed Leopard no probs and was a very happy bunny.
    The problem:- I then wanted to remove everything off my iPod. So I thought "I know I'll use Disk Utility".... I tried it with the 'default' setting and got an Input/Output error message straight away (irrespective of whether I did it as an extended journal or not.) When I tried it with the Zero Out option (can't remember exactly what it's called) it came up with the Input/Output error message right at the very end. Argh! iTunes and Finder no longer recognised it, but Disk Utility did.
    My research:- After using google I saw some guys on here talking about formatting proper external harddrives using leopards disk utility and they were getting the same messages as me. It turns out it is a fault with Leopards Disk Utility. So I did what the guys recommended.
    The solution:- (Thank god I had tiger!) I put in my tiger installation disk, clicked 'install tiger' and restarted the laptop. I clicked my my language, but then rather than going through the actual installation process I went to the top menu bars and chose Disk Utility (using tiger's disk one rather than my laptop's leopard one.) And erased the iPod there. Now when I quit the installation and opened my laptop up properly it worked, both iTunes and finder could see it!!! (I just had to restore my ipod in itunes - and now I'm happily transferring all my music back!)
    I hope this helps someone in the same position as me!

    I took it to work to use my Windows PC to try and format the drive, but got the same problem. I figured either the drive (it's a 2.5" that used to be inside my AlBook) or the external housing it lives is was faulty. Only way I could test without spending more money is by putting the 2.5" drive inside my powerbook, and booting the (Ti) powerbook from a bootable firewire ipod. I successfully booted from the ipod, and had the same problem with the now internal drive: only visible in disk utility, any attempt to erase fails. Also, I plugged the small 10 GB drive that WAS in the TiBook (but which I removed to put the other, problematic drive in) into the external housing, and it connected to other machines just fine.
    Turns out the problem is the hard drive itself.
    So now my question becomes: If disk utility can see the hard disk when it is connected (I have it back in the external enclosure now), but gives "input/output error" messages when I try to erase/format it, is there any way I can salvage this drive? It's an 80 GB drive, and I was looking forward to making it my internal TiBook drive (replacing the old 10 GB drive that's in there now).

  • FCS "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."

    I would really appreciate some advice re: FInal Cut Server search errors.
    FCS has been running well with our Linux based raid Editshare for 4 years, notwithstanding the recent Mac OS Java security issues.
    Our FCS machine is running 10.6.8 mac os and 1.5.2 final cut server with the latest
    OS 10.6.x updates, ancient I know.
    FCS is still searchable for most of our offliners, audio, gfx and onliner machines running 10.7+, but in some cases, searching FCS assets results in "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."
    Initially assuming the OS and/or data drives on the FCS machine were failing, I ran disk utility's repair, verify. time machine, and cloned the database drive. I'll clone the OS drive tomorrow, but after checking the forums tonight and seeing similar error messages I'm not so sure it a degraded drive issue.
    Thanks in advance, any ideas appreciated!

    I would really appreciate some advice re: recent FCS search errors.
    We're having similar issues to C.P.CGN's 2 year old post, it's only developed for us in the last few weeks.
    Our FCS machine is running 10.6.8 mac os and 1.5.2 final cut server with the latest

    FCS is still usable for 6 of 8 offliners, but on some machines, searching assets presents "ERROR: could not read block 74012 of relation1663/16385/16576: Input/output error."
    Assuming the OS and/or data drives on the FCS machine were failing, I cloned the database drive today and will clone the OS drive tomorrow night, but after searching the forums and seeing similar error messages I'm not so sure.
    FCS has been running fine for last 4 years, minus the recent Java security issues.

  • Input/output error when copying a DVD

    I created A DVD some time ago using Roxio.  It plays in DVD Player on my Mac Pro, but I can't create a .dmg using Disk Utility.  I always get "Input/Output error".  I got the same result on my wife's newer Apple. I tried to Restore it but can't, and Verification shows no problems that I can see.  I am able to copy DVDs created on Final Cut Express just fine.  Any suggestions to help me create copies of an old DVD I love?

    I just figured out how to get around the problem.  Download Burn and use it to burn the VIDEO_TS file to a new disk.  It must be something that Apple adds to make it hard to copy DVDs made from non-Apple software.

  • Suspend almost working, input/output error after resume

    Hi,
    I have gotten suspend to ram almost working on my sony vaio sz 28 laptop. It resumes properly and I can use the terminal to list files for a while, but I cannot launch any programs, I get "input output error" It's like the machine cannot do anything new that wasn't started before the suspend. After a while some programs quits (nm-manager), because of I/O error, and then shutdown won't even finish. At first I tought the hard drive didn't work, but since I can list files in the terminal, that shouldn't be the problem.
    Any ideas ?
    My /etc/powersave/sleep contains

    Also you dont need to run the cpufreq service powersaved and the acpid can do this too. I disabled all of them and let the kernel
    handel my cpufreq. The only thing iam doing is to tell the system on startup which govenour it should use by default, for me thats "conservative".
    #!/bin/bash
    # /etc/rc.local: Local multi-user startup script.
    cpufreq-set -c 0 -g conservative
    cpufreq-set -c 1 -g conservative
    If i need another one i can adjust that via the terminal (cpufreq-set or via direct echo in /sys) or gnomes cpufreq applet.
    For using the kernel handler correctly you have modify these entries
    1. in /etc/powersave/cpufreq to prevent powersaved from setting cpufreq.
    CPUFREQ_ENABLED="no"
    2. in /etc/acpi/handlers.sh to prevent acpid from setting corespeed back to kernels default govenour (mostly performance) after returning from suspend.

  • External Drive Disk Erase Failed with the Error Input/Output Error

    I have 2 hard drives in an external FW800 enclosure that I am unable to format. When I go to initialize the drives in Disk Utility, I get the following error message: "Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/output error."
    The drives show up in Disk Utility, but I can't repair them (that option is grayed out). Disk Utility correctly ID's the manufacturer of the drives (Maxtor), their size (200gb each), so it's obviously seeing that the drives are there. But it won't let me format them.
    The drives are new, by the way; they don't have any data/files on them. I have Disk Warrior, but the drives don't show up there to be repaired -- probably because they aren't formatted yet.
    After looking at other posts, I tried switching the jumper settings around on the drives -- from Master/Slave to cable select and back again, but it didn't help. I also tried doing a zero erase (even though the drives are new), zapping the PRAM -- again, no help.
    One question I had is whether this could be a bad FW800 cable? The cable is new -- it came with the enclosure, which is an OWC Dual FW 800 enclosure. Other than that, does anyone have any other thoughts about what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Matthew

    SOLUTION!!!!
    I had the exact same problem. I have the original 20 GB hard drive that came in my Powerbook G4 550MHz and a couple of years ago I traded up for a 60 GB drive and bought a FW/USB enclosure for my original drive to use it to backup my important files. I hadn't backed up in over a year (shame on me!) and I decided maybe I should erase the drive and start from scratch. It was connected via USB.
    At that point DiskUtility gave me the exact same Input/Output error. I tried partitioning the drive into 1 or more partitions but came up with the same error. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I decided to startup in OS 9.2.2, I did that and let it start up, then plugged in the hard drive and it gave me the standard "This disk is unrecognizable, do you want to eject or erase?" so I clicked Initalize. It worked!
    Just make sure you choose the MacOS Extended option when initializing out of OS 9 (instead of the MacOS Standard option) so it can be read and viewed in OS X.
    If your computer is too new to be able to boot from an OS 9 folder on your drive or an OS 9 CD, then see if a friend or a local library has older computers that are running OS 9 or can boot from it. If not let me know and you can send me your drive and I'll reformat it.
    Kind of crazy...I haven't used the OS 9 partition on my HD in YEARS...was even thinking about erasing it since I don't use any Classic applications anymore...good thing I didn't!

  • Disk Utility: Create image fails with input/output error

    Starting to create an image and saving it into an external hard drive (MacOS extended Journaled).
    It starts after less than 60 secs it comes out with an error : Failed to create the image (input/output error)

    If you don't mind I'd like to discourage you from backing up a drive onto a disc image file no matter where you plan to save it. Disc image files can be very problematical when it comes to trying to restore the backup. Furthermore, you cannot boot from a disc image. If the disc image file becomes corrupted then you have no backup.
    I would like to propose that you think about a better way to backup your drive. You can clone the drive to your backup drive. It's easy to do using Disk Utility's Restore feature. A clone backup is not only bootable but you have direct access to all the files on the backup.
    In order to make a bootable clone open Disk Utility. Select Disk Utility Help from the Help menu. Search for +duplicating a disk+. Click on "Duplicating a disk" at the top of the list of articles. Follow the directions.

  • Failed to execute default file manager (Input /Output Error) [SOLVED]

    I'm having an issue in XFCE where the default Terminal, Browser and File Manager launch correctly - but with this error:
    Failed to execute default [file manager] [terminal emulator] [browser]
    Input /Output Error
    I have the requisite  "Preferred Application" set as Chrome/Thunar/xfce4-terminal.
    If I run
    exo-open --launch FileManager
    From terminal, it says:
    [1]    4281 segmentation fault (core dumped)  exo-open --launch FileManager
    Remember, it launches the app successfully - and the apps themselves launch correctly, it's only exo-open that I have a problem with!  Everything else works great on this system.

  • Input/Output Error in Disk Utility w/ Failing HD

    Hey Apple Community,
    I know others probably have asked this question, but I didn't want to spend an hour looking for the correct solution (if one even exists)...thanks for understanding.
    Last night my Mid-2009 Macbook Pro failed to boot after a shutdown. I've had a couple things replaced in the past, but upon restarting in Recovery HD mode, it became obvious that the hard drive was failing (I'm assuming, the S.M.A.R.T. designation in Disk Utility said "failing" in red font).  I tried to create an image to an external 1 TB Hard Drive after verifying and a repair attempt, in an attempt to back up my original Hard Drive, but I received the following error message: "Input/Output Error...," and quit the image creation attempt.
    I don't have a lot on my computer, about 95% of the original HD was unused. What is important though are prior Graduate School documents, and a few work-related projects. Is there any way to get the information off the HD before it shuts down completely? I am technologically proficient enough to do things on my own, but the local Mac specialists (nearest Apple store is 2 hours away) wanted $150-300 for the work. I can replace the HD myself, so the issue is just getting at least part of the information off the original hard drive onto my external one.
    Thank you in advance for any advice/solution/etc you may have! -Matt

  • Partition of hard drive fails permanently, "Input/output error" on format

    Hello!
    I have a serious problem on my flat-panel G4 15" 700 MHz (it’s a used machine, bought it on eBay): After the pre-installed system was running nicely for about a month, today I turned it on and got the infamous "broken folder"/prohibitory sign... Alright, I thought, I may have to repair permissions or fix my OS X installation using the system CDs (10.3). But I was wrong, it is impossible to repair the permissions, I couldn't even format the hard drive! Then I get the error "Input/output error", consecutively. I reset everything, PRAM, PMU, formatted the drives in Target Mode, tried to install Mac OS X on an external drive (Can’t be installed on my Firewire-connected drive). No chance.
    Is there a possibility this may be due to a hard drive controller error (ATA)? I can’t think of anything else... Any help would be appreciated!

    That was my second guess, however, I swapped the hard drives (with an almost identical model) et voilà - same error as before. Now I examined the internals of the machine and found a single wire of the IDE cable seems to be broken, I’ll exchange the cable and let you know if that solves the problem.
