Hard Drive Corrupted - No Disc or Optical Drive Available.

HI all,
Just looking for some advice. I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch) Early 2011. I think it was Snow Leopard installed.
Yesterday, the hard drive came to the end of it's life. During use the computer started to make a buzzing sound every two seconds or. I'm not an expert, but I would go with it being the hard drive.
I currently live in China & the internet is very slow, yet the only way to get to DU is via the internet recovery. I attempted to 'repair' the disk, but it syas the 'Macintosh HD etc etc is corrupted'. In your experience would you believe this siffucient evidence to place it at the door of a HD failure?
THe info on there, I can deal with losing. Hopefully I can somehow get music from my iPad back onto the new HD.
I will purchase a new HD & I feel competent enough to fit it in the laptop. I then have a couple of issues. I have left the OSX disc in England. I have no access to it. My optical drive is also broken after a student tried to put a mini-disc in there. That said, how will I be able to install an operating system? Is it possible to do via an imternet link, USB drive?
Unfortunately I cannot speak Chinese well enough to get an expert in. I would like to do this as quickly and cheaply as possible.
Please note, I have no access to the OSX discs & my optical drive is broken.
Thank you for any advice.
Regards,
Stuart.

Snow Leopard is installed only via a disk.  You would have either get duplicate disks from Apple or find Snow Leopard disks that are for the EXACT same model as yours. 
The other option is to try to clone Mavericks (10.9) into your MBP from another Mac.  Downloaded from the Internet, Mavericks will have all of the necessary drivers for your MBP but I am not certain if that will be the case if another Mac is the source.
Ciao.

  • I can't install Snow Leopard on a brand new hard drive with a brand new optical drive.

    I need help please. I have a 2009 MacBook Pro. The hard drive crashed a while back so I bought a new one. The original Snow Leopard disc that came with it was scratched so I bought a new one of it as well. After trying/failing to install Snow Leopard on the new hard drive about a dozen times I bought a new optical drive as well. I installed the new optical drive today, tried to install Snow Leopard again and STILL got the same installation error messages. Any help that anyone might be able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
    Last error message:
    Install failed: The Installer could not copy the necessary support files.

    Did you partition and format the new drive first?
    Drive Partition and Format
    1. 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 Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    7. Upon completion quit Disk Utility and return to the installer. Complete the Snow Leopard installation.

  • Hard drive will not mount after optical drive upgrade

    I recently performed an optical drive install. Had to remove the hard drive bays (I use three hard drives - Luckily, 2 run OSX).
    I carefully removed all three drive bays and the empty bay. When I inserted the drives into the computer I had changed the position, swapping one OSX drive with a different one and reversing the drive bays. On restart, the computer started on the drive I had not selected for startup and I received an error message stating the other drive could not mount and it gave three options (Initialize - Ignore and Eject).
    I can see the drive in Disk Utility and repair the permissions (it's also located in the System Profile).
    I tried a few things I read in the community using various Terminal commands but was unsuccessful.
    (Let me point out that I recently switched from a PPC G5 to MacPro and swapped the drives from PPC into MacPro and all has been fine until I removed changed their positions in the bays)
    Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would recommend you reformat your drives that you brought over, and if possible put in a Firewie case.
    Swapping drives will normally not matter but you should use Startup Disk to reset the default after using Option key the first time.
    Putting in an optical device shouldn't require removing the drives to get the cage loose and let you put in a 2nd superdirve.
    G5 used APM partition map, Intel Macs use EFI and requie GPT/GUID.
    A drive with just data should not matter but that is not fool-proof either.
    A drive iwth the system from a G5 though can.
    During startup the boot process scans all volumes and looks for systems and mountable volumes.
    Pull all the drives except the one with OS X that you were using, and put that in bay #1.
    I've moved arrays between bays and that never "broke" the array or had trouble mounting and using (even moving to ODD ports).

  • Satellite Pro M40 hard drive failure - Recovery disc on new drive?

    Hi
    My Satellite Pro M40 hard disk has died and I want to install a new drive. Unfortunately my old drive is 60Gig and the Toshiba parts website has only 40 Gig or 80 Gig drives.
    Will I encounter any problems with the recovery disc if the hard drive is not exactly the same?
    Your advice would be appreciated.
    C

    No, there shouldnt be any problem with the Toshiba recovery CD.
    On the recovery CD you will find a Windows OS, Toshiba drivers and utilities and additional software.
    These whole applications are packed in image files.
    You should only be sure that the HDD is compatible with your notebook and will be recognized in the BIOS.
    Then just simply boot from the recovery CD and the installation should start.

  • Optical drive no longer reads disks, Optical drive no longer reads disks

    Hi folks, never really had a terrible problem with this computuer until the last few months with the battery wearing out and having to replace the charging cord twice but now it seems like I have a problem here.
    Earlier today, less than an hour ago, i burned a CD for my buddy, when i went to burn the second disk, it didnt want to accept it.  Finally, when it did, it wouldnt read I had a disk in it.  When i got home, i tried other cds/dvds and it wouldnt read them either.  It was making a rather bad sound, kind of like an alarm sound.  The CD will not spin and is ejeceted shortly after.
    I was planning on bootcamping my Macbook Pro later this weekend, but if i can not get this to work, I wont be able to.  I dont think i have Apple Care and the nearest apple store is about a 2 hour drive from my house.

  • Cannot rip a cd with internal drive while burning disc with external drive

    Does anyone know why I cannot access any disc with my internal superdrive while Toast Titanium 11 is burning a blu-ray movie on my external drive?

    Pretty simple. You just can't do that.

  • Have you replaced your optical drive with a second hard disk?

    Hi guys,
    I am currently thinking about replacing my optical drive in my MacBook Pro for a 256 GB SSD, as my main hard drive is getting filled up.
    Have you replaced the optical drive in your computer, and what is your experience? I'm looking at either OptiBay or OWC Data Doubler. Which would you recommend?
    Thanks!

    Actually I'm about ready to do this myself.
    I installed a SSD in my Windows 7 desktop PC about 9 months ago and the difference is just amazing.
    I bought a new Dell Latitude and got it about a week ago, very fast but not as fast as my desktop. I then ordered a modular bay hard drive enclosure to replace the optical drive and another SSD. Installed the drive I had as my boot drive, a 750GB 7200RPM drive, in the modular bay enclosure and installed the SSD as the main boot drive. System screams.
    I then look at my MBP late 2011 with i7 CPU and the 5400RPM drive that comes with it. Slow comparatively.
    So I've been hunting around and I think I've settled on the Optibay as it comes with a optical drive enclosure and the proper cable to connect that drive to a USB port.
    I will mount the SSD in the optical bay caddy and make that my Boot drive leaving the original HDD where it is as the mounting system for it has shock absorbers. The SSD I will get willl be the 6GB type as but the main SATA port and the optical bay port are both 6GB.

  • Optical drive becomes unresponsive when burning media to a disc

    When I try to burn an iTunes playlist to a blank disc, the optical drive becomes unresponsive and heats up. Instead of burning media to the disc, the progress bar in the iTunes window becomes stuck on "Burning disc.....Initializing". The optical drive only settles down when the disc is "force ejected". Anyone else having similar trouble? Any help and tips are greatly appreciated.

    Your best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  Demonstrate the problem to the technician and they should be able to determine if there is a serious problem or not.
    Ciao.

  • Optical drives reads but wont write after swap

    hello everyone, I bought an iMac G3 450MHz that had had a 'superdrive' fitted. It both read and wrote CD's and DVDs. I tested it out and it worked just fine, I even made a back up copy of my Tiger DVD with it. I wanted to put the optical drive into my beloved Flower Power 600 iMac CD-RW so ,to make sure all the drive cables etc weren't disturbed, I just removed the whole caddy with the HDD plus the optical drive plus all the connecting cables, and popped it into my Flower Power. It booted up fine so I loaded (via carbon copy cloner) the contents of my original HDD. Now, when I look in system profiler, the optical drive shows up as a read/write but will only read discs. If I put in a blank disc the iMac's OS doesn't see the blank disc. Funnily enough my copy of Toast does see it and Toast launches itself. As I want to be able to burn disc images using Disk Utility this is a bit of a problem for me. I might just add, as it may be of some interest, that whoever fitted the superdrive had the HDD jumpers set to Slave but this was how it was when it worked perfectly in the 450MHz it came in so this was how I left them. The other little problem is the iMac won't sleep but I can live with that.

    The reason your hard drive is set to slave is because it shares the IDE bus with the optical drive. With the stock optical drive, the optical drive is set to slave and the hard drive is set to master. However, that superdrive is probably hardwired to master, so the hard drive needs to be slave. As long as one drive is slave and the other drive is master, it should work fine.
    Are you using the exact same system installation from the 450 on the 600? If not, there was probably some special driver installed to enable the all the superdrive features. Toast is a third-party app that is designed to work with many different optical drives, so such a driver would be built into the software, which would explain why it works (and Disk Utility does not).
    What company sold (and installed) this superdrive?

  • Setting up new MBP with SSD and optical drive and restoring from Time Capsule

    Hi Everyone-
    Sorry if this has been addressed before, but I couldn't find a specific answer by searching.  My last macbook was stolen, but luckily I had everything backed up in my Time Capsule.  I just ordered my new Macbook Pro (13"), 16GB Ram, and a 240GB SSD.  I plan to install everything next week.  My plan is to keep all of my apps and working files on my SSD and use my 2nd hard drive for data storage and possibly my itunes library.  My question is- when setting all of this up, what would be the best way to go about doing this.
    1.) Restoring my time machine backup to the original hard drive, move it to the optical drive bay, and then copy over the files that I want on the SSD (after installing the operating system) and delete them off of the origan HD.
    2.) Restore my backup to the SSD (once it's installed) and then move files over to the formated original harddrive in the optical bay.  My problem is that there may not be enough room on the 240GB SSD.
    3.) Is there a way to do a slective restore through TM and move where I want to keep them?  I think this would be the easiest.
    4.) Other way that I haven't mentioned
    Thanks for any help with this question. 

    I used setup assistant last time when I changed from a 2009 mini to a 2010 mini. It caused some file permission errors that still persist today with iPhoto. I have 2 accounts on my mini, 1 for my wife and 1 for myself, but I store all our photos and videos on the shared folder in order to avoid duplication. But when she imports pictures from her profile and I try to view them full screen, I'm unable to. I have to relaunch iPhoto and repair file permissions if I want to view them properly. I was hoping to avoid this happening again.

  • Adata sp900 sdd 128-GB ssd, optibay optical drive to replace superdrive, and 16 GB upgrade for macbook pro mid 2012.

    Hello everyone,
    Thank you in advanced for all of the support.  This is my first post to the communities.  I just bought a 2.9 GHz core 17 processor MacBook pro mid 2012 13" with 8 GB of RAM and I am in the process of upgrading it.  When I bought the MacBook pro originally, I was told that I would never mac out the performance because I do not do a lot of photo/video editing.  This is true, but I am an academic researcher and tend to multitask often, having 20+ safari tabs open, SPSS (a statistical program), full screen mail app, full screen calendar app, and preview, iTunes open all at the same time.  I often get slow performance and error messages that state low memory.  This is why I am interested in upgrading the laptop.  I am getting ready to go to medical school and I want to have a powerful laptop.  I also want to future proof because I plan on having a dual boot system to mac OS and windows OS.
    Because I know I will be maxing out the performance of the computer, I want to take full advantage of upgrades, especially now because the cost of the components is reasonable at the moment.  The following are the proposed upgrades:
    1.  Upgrade my current 8-GB ram (2x4-GB) with 16-GB ram (2x8-GB).  I plan on using crucial RAM.
    Crucial 16-GB Ram: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1
    2.  Replace my optical drive with a hard drive.  I will place a SSD into my current hard drive position and then install my current HDD into the optical drive bay with the optibay optical drive caddy.  I am doing this because I plan to use the SSD as the boot drive and my current HDD as my backup and files drive.  I am putting the SDD into the HDD because I have read it is better to place it in this bay for performance.  I will put the other HDD in the optical drive because the performance of that one will not be as important.
    Adata SSD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008LTBJFW/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&coli d=2B1KHELSPJPNN&coliid=IYGJWGQDH8LV0&psc=1

    My questions:
    1.  Is the listed RAM appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    2.  Is the listed SSD appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    3.  Is the listed Optical Drive Caddy appropriate and sufficient for my MacBook pro?
    4.  Is there still a firmware problem that does not allow for SATA 3 (6Gb/s) support in the optical drive?
    5.  Would it be easier to format the new SSD outside of the MacBook using a SATA to USB adapter?
    6.  Does working on any of the listed components void my AppleCare (I plan on keeping all of the original components so I can replace them, if I ever need to see apple support)?
    7.  What is the best way to put Mavericks onto the SSD to make this my boot drive?
    8.  What is the best way to make all of my files remain on the HDD, but link to the SSD with the operating system?
    9.  Has anyone ever successfully upgraded to 16-GB RAM and used their optical drive for a secondary hard drive?
    10.  Is there any miscellaneous advice for this project?
    Please feel free to give partial answers.  I know this was a lot of information, but I wanted to be efficient in my post.  I am very appreciative of everyone who will contribute. 
    Thank you!

  • Replaced my iMac optical drive with ssd  - now I can't create a bootcamp partition

    I have a late 2009 imac 27". Recently my imac hard drive crashed so I used this opportunity to replace the broken hard drive and also replacethe iMac optical drive with a SSD drive. The idea was to use the ssd drive as my bootcamp partition and boost things up. WRONG IDEA!
    I wasted already 5 hours trying to get bootcamp to install windows 7 onto the ssd using an external optical drive, a USB drive, an internal partition of my new hard drive. I used rEFIt to try and boot from these fine devices - nothing! Once the OS restarts to install Windows 7 it gets stuck either in blank screen or with a message that it requires a bootable device.
    This is one of the most puzzling situation I've seen. Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Amir

    This is the same problem people have with their MacBook Pro. Some people have had success using rEFIT, but many didn't. The only solution that I found was just installing my opitcal drive back in and installing windows on what ever hardrive you need. Then taking the optical drive back out. I know that sounds like a lot of work, but once your done you will be relieved.

  • Optical Drive Accesses for No Apparent Reason

    I have a new HP Pavilion dv7 laptop with Windows 7 64-bit OS. My question concerns accesses to the optical drive for no apparent reason. While it seems reasonable that when booting up the system the firmware will check the optical drive to see if there is a startup CD in it I do not understand other apparent attempts to access the optical drive. For example, after bootup and running within Windows 7 I attempt to play a mp3 music file residing on the hard disk I can hear the optical drive being accessed. Specifically, I double click on a mp3 file on my hard disk but before the music player application pops up I hear several clicks and clacks as the computer checks the optical drive for a disk...I assume. Is there a setup file someone where this kind of activity is enabled? IMHO, the computer should not be attempting to check the optical dirve  when attempting to play a mp3 file on the HD.
    Another scenario I've noticed is during the logon process. Specifically, as the computer boots up there is a typical click-clack of the optical drive as the firmware checks to see if there is a startup CD in the drive. Next, Windows 7 in up and running but sitting on the user logon screen. When I type my password to log onto my account I hear more click-clack accesses to the optical drive. This may be a typical thing for Windows 7...I'm not sure as I'm new to Windows 7. However, the description I gave above concerning playing of mp3 music seems odd.
    The sound I hear is definitely not the hard disk.  It is the same sound that the optical drive makes if you open the drive and close it without inserting a disk.  That is, the laser tracking motor moving the laser pickup from the outer edge to the inner edge and back to check to see if a CD or DVD is sitting in the drive.  Playing an mp3 music file residing on the hard disk causes this to happen.  It only happens once when starting up the music player.

    Hi There,
    What is the media application you have in the computer? Such as Intervideo windvd. cyberlink  etc…
    Few applications keep checking the media even though these applications are not in use. Fixes for such applications are posted on respective support websites, you may want to check and update. or if you do not wish to use such applications you can try un-installing these applications and verify the functionality.
    Hope it helps.
