Help! Advice on recovering from a disk crash, please

My image disk crashed, and is unrecoverable. I thought that I been backing up regularly but, through nobody's fault but my own, the last 6 months of images weren't properly backed up. Sigh.
The good new is that my catalog is fine, having lived on another disk, and many of the original images, all raw's, are still intact on various flash cards. So, my question is, how should I proceed? Should I re-import them? Should I copy them by hand, and then help the catalog to find them if it doesn't? Or, ???
I'm on a MacOS 10.6.
Thanks much for any help with this!

OK, what I hoped would work does not
But one thing that could simplify bringing your copies from the flash cards into the structure and naming they should be to be recognized by your current catalog:
If you imported them into a temporary catalog, using the same naming and destination folder logic as when you originally imported them, this would bring the files into (or close to) the correct folder structure. Then in the main catalog, they could be reconnected easier if necessary at all. If you did have some kind of a date-based folder structure and did not do too much manual renaming, this should work quite well.

Recovering from a disk crash

i experienced a hard disk failure on my MacBook Pro today. at first Safari started complaining it's unable to save bookmarks, then Mail gave errors about not being able to write data. i tried logging out and logging in again with the same account but i got this error:
'You are unable to log in to the user account "aspa" at this time.'
i then logged in as another user and tried to mount user aspa's home directory disk image (which used FileVault). the mount operation failed with the following message:
"The following disk images failed to mount
aspa.sparseimage corrupt image"
rebooting didn't help either so i booted the system from the installation DVD disc and tried running verify and repair in Disk Utility but both operations failed. verify failed with this message:
"Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
Checking HFS Plus volume
Invalid record count
The volume needs to be repaired.
Error: Then underlying task reported failure on exit
1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair"
repair operation failed with similar errors. i then booted the system in single-user mode and tried running 'fsck -fy' which again failed:
"** /dev/rdisk0s2
** Root file system
** Checking HFS Plus volume.
Invalid record count
(3,1)
** Volume check failed"
i started the disk in FireWire target mode and tried copying files from the failed disk to another machine but copying failed:
tar: /Volumes/Macintosh HD 1/Applications/...: Read error at byte 17832448, reading 10240 bytes: Bad file descriptor
trying to copy the user's home directory disk image resulted in similar errors.
it appears that there was some sort of error with the root file system which then made the sparseimage brake. i was advised by Apple support to reinstall the operating system which i'm now doing.
the operating system installation took quite a while but it seems to have gone fine. still, i'd like to get some assurance that this problem was not due to a hardware fault. i've run Apple Hardware test which didn't report any errors. are there any good test programs which would test the hard disk for failures? any ideas on whether this was caused by a software or hardware problem?
if i remember correctly, before the re-installation the disk was split into two partitions. i deleted all the partitions prior to the installation to make sure that everything will be wiped out. the installation program didn't re-create the other partition. what is this partition used for? should i recreate it and re-install?
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

5 days after I had recieved my mbp, my harddrive failed as well. I did try to reinstall the OS but with no luck. At some point during installation, it would stop telling me to try again. So I took it to the nearest technical service center and they confirmed the hd-failure and replaced it. this was the 80gig @ 5200rpm. but since you were able to reinstall the OS again, you should be fine. have you run the diskutility again?

Hello Smile_333
The article below will assist with finding things and help increase the hard drive space for your computer. The best way is to have an external hard drive to copy things to if you do not want to delete and loose things.

Help needed to recover corrupt virtual disk - No snapshots

Hi
Please could somebody help me.
I was running Clean Up Virtual Machine and then I Force Quit Fusion. Now I can't start my VM. I have run vmware_vdiskmanager to try and recover the virtual disk, but I get the following error.
VixDiskLib: Invalid configuration file parameter. Failed to read configuration file.
The virtual disk, '/Users/juan-emil/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk.vmdk', is corrupted and cannot be repaired.
In an attempt to solve the problem I created snapshots to see if I can recover from them, but all I did was to un-associate my fusion with the virtual disk.
What do I do. Please somebody help. I cannot afford to loss this VM. All my work is on it.

If even vmware-vdiskmanager cannot repair the .vmdk file anymore, then I'm afraid that you may need to revert to your latest backup. What may be worth a try though is to see whether another start of the clean process will work!?
Other than the above, you can try to contact continuum, who may have further ideas.

I need help in restoring data recovered from hard drive crash to new hard drive

I have the data that was recovered by a recovery service (long story) from my wife's hard drive after it crashed, which is now stored on my computer. There are two user data sets that have been recovered, one for each of us. I need to put each on my wife's computer with its new hard drive, which now has OSX 10.10.? (Yosemite) on it.
My wife's computer was running OSX 10.7 (Lion) when the hard drive failed and my computer is still running OSX 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard).
I was told that I should use the Data Transfer Utility (starting my computer up while holding the "T" key), but I have forgotten what I have to do when I start up her computer. Are there any operating system compatibility problems that are sensitive to this process?

That is a Microsoft Windows question?? You should probably ask this question on Microsoft's Forums. BTW there is no "Windows 9". Only Windows 7, Windows 8 and apparently MS is skipping the number 9 in favor of 10.

Advice on recovery from hard disk error 301

Hi all,
I have a HP desktop PC, Pavilion HPE h8-1170d which is about 2.5 years+ old. The specifications are:
Intel Core i5 2500 with 8G RAM, 1TB SATA hard disk. I have recently installed a Radeon HD6670 graphics card as the original card gave problems. I have also upgraded to a Cooler Master 500W power supply.
Other details of my PC are listed here: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02991104&tmp_track_link=ot_faqs/top_issues/en_u...
Recently, I experienced failure associated with the harddisk, indicating error 301. I managed to recover sufficiently (somehow) by using Microsoft's error checking tool for harddisk and now able to boot up and run. But I know I will have to replace it as it is a matter of time before the harddisk completely dies.
Before I go and buy a replacement harddisk, I hope I could know about the following:
1. I am not sure which version of SATA is my PC using. Can I just specify that I want a SATA harddisk, and not be concerned about their version of SATA ?
2. What is the best way to replace the harddisk from the software perspective ? Should I do an image copy from my current harddisk, if so, what is the easiest way to do this ? sorry, I have not done this before so need to ask such basic question. Would it make sense to connect the new harddisk first and then do the image ?
Thank you very much for any help !

Hi smtan,
A SATA III, 6 GB data transfer rate disk will work.
Your PC model was introduced by HP in 2011. It may have SATA II but a SATA III disk will be backwards compatible. If this is true you will be limited to 3 GB transfer rates.
One other consideration is HDD size. You should probably limit the HDD replacement size to 2 TB. Your PC probably has a legacy BIOS and your HP Recovery discs may not work on a HDD exceeding 2 TB.
You have a couple of choices on moving or installing Win 7 on your new HDD.
You can clone the existing install from the original HDD to the replacement HDD. You will need to use either: free disk imaging software or purchase this software. I have heard good things about Macrium Reflect free and EaseUS free.
You can GOOGLE for other choices.
Install the disk imaging/cloning software on the source HDD. Install the new HDD in your PC.
Run the cloning software and follow instructions on cloning the operating system to the new HDD.
Please see this article for instructions on cloning one HDD to another.
This article may interest you. Consider purchasing an SSD replacement drive. The performance increase is unbelievable. Many SSD manufacturers provide cloning software with the purchase. You also need to buy the desktop kit version. This includes a 3.5 inch adapter for installing the 2.5 inch SSD in the HDD cage.
There is a downside if you go SSD. Your HP recovery discs may not work because the replacement SSD will be less than 1 TB. There are ways around this. Please see this forum post on installing Win 7 without a disc. Let me know if you are interested.

Help with rescuing data from faulty disk

Sorry the long wall of text, I wanted to explained everything as detailed as possible to not mess with the chronological order (TL; DR down below!)
Ok, here's the thing. I have two hard drives, a ssd [sda] (for the OS [arch linux, ubuntu and win7], munchkin 240gb) and a sata 3 one ([sdc] wd, 1 tb) that I use for everything else. A couple of weeks ago I found there were progressive, unexpected and random behaviour particularly with windows, random freezes, no bsod, ecc... I finally found that the second hard drive was the culprit so I decided stop using a buy a new disk (while sending the faulty to RMA, since it's barely one year old, and I don't do nothing out of ordinary), I got a seagate with 1 tb.
I honestly didn't want to mess too much about the data and wanted to save the most without wasting time, so I decided to try to clone the whole disk with dd according to the wiki (Disk Cloning). I imagined that the "bad sectors" were from the ntfs partition, so I went with that. Clearly I could get corrupt files in linux too, but my guess was that the most important data was safe, because I had been using it for the last couple of days without problems. The process ended with a lot of I/O errors, but in the end it showed the same number of `in` and `out`. I regenerated the UUID for the new cloned disk and each partition, modified the fstab and restarted (fingers crossed).
I could log into arch linux without problems, used it for a while, restarted a second time (that windows habit that I still found hard to overcome) and everything was okay (yes I made sure I was actually on the new disk). Next was windows time, which to my surprise worked fine too, I even played a while. After patting myself in the back, I rebooted the machine thinking in how much work I would like to have done today, and there were an error that apparead on the login screen, just a ms before I pressed enter, I think I read it was referring to another partition of sda. The system got stuck in the middle of the "log in screen" and loading x with a black screen, nothing else. Waited a while, losing hope I pushed the RESET button.
Now, it was stuck during the boot up process, after "killing rf radio" or something. It was obviously stuck somewhere else... (that message had appeared there since I built the pc) it read though that the /var partition was clean, same with the root partition, next I tried with "recovery" kernels, and each other kernel I had still in grub; but the problem persisted. Tried with ubuntu, had to change fstab again, rebooted, tried to enter, stuck on the loading screen with the big purple background. I couldn't get anything else past that, neither to get a decent log.
I don't know why (or maybe because I was desperate) I entered the uefi/bios settings and found that the time was localtime instead utc.... weird I thought and I blamed windows (though, I had the registry hack working for a while) and imagined that I updated something that removed that *fixed* the blessed fix. Since I remember having issues with partitions not being correctly mounted once because of time issues, I thought it was a problem with the time... nope, nothing changed.
I tried again with the recovery kernel of the ubuntu install, I could drop on the root shell, and tried to fix the clock time after remounting, same with mounting the /var partition (ubuntu doesn't use that one), it threw that "bad superblock error", but fsck ran saying the filesystem was clean and it was mount normally later. Somewhere between, I mounted the home partition, no errors, gave a quick navigation. I tried to install ntpd to follow the "troubleshoot" from the Time arch wiki page, but HA, no internet.
Rebooted again, and from the menu from "ubuntu recovery", allowed me to enable networking. Quite nice I thought, and pressed enter. It politely informed that I needed to mount the system (root partition) in read/write instead read-only. I happily said yes (I already had remounted the ubuntu root as rw, and worked ok), but stopped at the home partition taking about 10 minutes in "phase 2", suddenly started throwing a lot of errors, about missing inodes, files pointing nowhere, etc. It put a lot of files into lost+found directory. Oh, there it was... I thought, let's go into Arch Linux then...
Now the system booted up quite fast, and I was welcomed by the black screen asking coldly for my login information, I wrote the credentials, pressed enter, aaaaand PAH, "/home/pablo" change directory failed: No such file or directory. HA, funny I thought, lsblk, the partition was mounted, ls -l /home/... WHAT? the folder wasn't there.
I looked for the lost+found folder inside the home directory, and it had a lot of directories and files called DXXXXXX.RCN, and IXXXXXX.RCN and some symbolic links. The directories had files inside, the IXXXXX are actually files, ecc.
Right now, I'm lost... I'm not scared about the data, because it's still living happily (?) on the bad disk, but I still need to recover it, so I can filter it later allowing to write zeros to the fault disk and send it for a replacement. Is there any chance to recover the data? (I rather not going into around 100 files/directories with cryptics names), or maybe use another method to "recover" the data from the previous disk? using cp or rsync? Any good experience or advice on this?
PS.- Sorry for the epic story, I hope I don't scare readers or other fellow members.
TL; DR
+ I have 2 disks (ssd [OS {win7, arch and ubuntu}] and sata3 [data])
+ Sata3 disk started to fail on windows (users folder it's on the sata3), arch/ubuntu never had a problem
+ I bought a new one, and I'm trying to send the old one for a RMA
+ Clone the disk according to the wiki and rebuilt the UUID
+ Change fstab to use the new cloned disk
+ Worked fine for a couple of times
+ Used windows, played, everything fine
+ Entered arch, now I couldn't it got stuck without showing any errors
+ Tried every kernel and recovery image without success
+ With Ubuntu I could drop into a root shell
+ Mounted home partition, no problems
+ Tried to activate networking, started to run fsck and threw a lot of errors (I remember I read something about "offset" not correcting) and moved files to lost+found directory
+ Arch Linux started, but I couldn't log because /home/pablo doesn't exist anymore and it seems everything lives now in the lost+found directory with weird names like DXXXXXX and IXXXXXXX
Aftermath: I have the original data, safe (?) on the bad disk (like I said, I never had any problem in my home partition). I really don't want to be nit picky about what I can save, I'll be happy to save as much as I can, but I don't mind losing corrupt files (that's why I thought cloning with filling with zeros would be enough). I just want to ditch the bad disk and send it to wd for a replacement.
End of TL; DR

I can see three possibilities:
1. The new HDD is broken as well.
2. The Linux partition contained a little garbage from old HDD's errors and that confused Linux and caused it to corrupt the partition further by writing more garbage to it.
3. The garbage from old HDD's errors contained on the Windows partition confused Windows and caused it to corrupt the Linux partition by overwriting it with garbage.
1. Rather unlikely if the HDD is new, but still worth checking. Install smartmontools and run smartctl -a /dev/new-hdd. On the "SMART attributes" list, check if any of "Reallocated_Sector_Ct", "Reallocated_Event_Count", "Current_Pending_Sector", "Offline_Uncorrectable" have RAW_VALUE other than zero or if the "SMART Error Log" contains any entries. If the attributes are all zero and the error log is empty, everything is fine.
2. Make new image of the old HDD. Make sure that Windows and Linux partitions don't overlap each other due to HDD read error. Run fsck on the Linux partition before mounting it to ensure that it doesn't contain errors which could lead to further errors. If it doesn't, it should be safe to mount and use it.
3. You said that Windows partition certainly contains error. Don't run Windows and don't mount this partition in Linux without running some NTFS checker (Windows tools on some other Windows system or ntfsck on Linux) and fixing all errors contained there. Alternatively, you can reinstall Windows on the new HDD and manually copy all the files you care about that are still readable from the old HDD. BTW, don't modify anything on the old HDD, as this would likely corrupt its other contents in the same way that modifying its copy corrupted other parts of its copy.

How to recover from a HD crash?

I recently suffered from a hard drive failure due to problems with the known monitor will-not-wake-from-sleep issue. My problem now: Since Garageband came preinstalled on my Mac when I bought it, I have no installation CD or serial number. My new HD does not have any iLife aps on it that I used to enjoy. I may be able to access the hard drive in target mode- just can't boot from it.
Can I pull the software off of the bad HD and reinstall on the new HD? Help?

Don't even need to find the package just put the install disk in and look around I think you click on customize not sure. But there is a option for bundled software and a check list of ilife apps. I think there may even be a install bundled software installer right on the disk.

Recover from restore disk I made to ssd

Can I restore my system to a ssd drive from the restore disk I made when I purchased my computer or will it not work on anything but a hard disk drive? The drive is a intel 330 model that I was using and got some corruption or something and need to reinstall the system. The ssd is smaller than the disk drive which is why I am unsure if it will work. I have read that it will not clone data to a smaller drive. I think I previously used the windows 7 disk to do a clean install. If I do that again I will need to reinstall the drivers and I cant get on the hp support site to get all the updated drivers because it is not working and has been down for a while. I can not wait for a month or however long it is going to take hp to get their site problems fixed. I need to get this laptop up and running now. Any help would be greaatly appreciated.

Recover from hard drive crash

I have a Palm TX with information that I must not lose. My hard drive crashed, and I need to reinstall Palm Desktop. I downloaded PalmDesktopWin62.exe, but it wants to initially sync by cable. Due to unexplained incompatibilities, I have exclusively IR sync'ed for a couple of years, and am not sure where the cable is. If I chose to skip initial sync the installer warns of dire consequences. How should I proceed?
Post relates to: Palm TX

Download NVBackup to your SD card and run it! This will insure your data is safe, then you can experiment all you want.

Recovering drivers after disk crash

My hard drive crashed. Fortunately I had a current Time Machine backup which restored all my files. I thought. I had no exclusions in the Time Machine options, so I am sure I did not exclude my drivers, but somehow, they did not restore. I am speaking specifically of my printer and camera drivers, but there may be others I have not discovered. And for some reason, I am unable to reinstall them from the original manufacturer's web site. The Canon camera drivers apparently install, but no luck in iPhoto, it doesn't see the camera. The Brother 5250 drivers are a different matter. For some reason I need to know IP addresses, DNS server names and other stuff to get the driver I downloaded to work. Don't know how and don't know why. It worked before using Snow Leopard.
My question is this, assuming I get my drivers reinstalled somehow (although all suggestions would be welcome), how can I ensure that they get backed up and restored if the crash ever happens again?

The Apple fix-it folks replaced the disk and installed Snow Leopard. From that point on, I did a full system restore, including using the Snow Leopard disk. I have been using the computer for a few weeks now, so I can't imagine redoing a full system restore makes sense any more.
Oh, no, if it didn't restore that way the first time, it won't now.
Where are the drivers for printers kept anyway? I am not familiar with the Mac system libraries. Maybe I can just find the driver on a really old back up somewhere, or on my other Mac, which has the same drivers, and just copy them over?
Most of the printer stuff seems to be in the maker's folder inside the top-level /Library/Printers folder.
It's very odd that they didn't restore. I don't recall ever seeing that reported here.
You might also want to browse, search, or re-post in the +Printing, Faxing, and Scanning+ forum. There's likely someone there with better info.

How to recover from bad iPhoto crash?

Yesterday iPhoto (running under latest version of Lion on an i7 iMac with 12 GB of RAM) started crashing at launch (one bounce). I held down the option key launched and it still crashes. With time machine I replaced iPhoto with an older one (2 weeks back) and it crashes. I replaced the photo library from a version of 2 weeks ago that I know was working and iPhoto still crashes at launch. I removed the Library>preference files with .iphoto. in them and it still crashes at launch. Does anyone have any idea what other files might be causing this problem? This did happen shortly after I updated iPhoto and Aperture with the new versions that read each others libraries. Aperture works but I also replaced it and its older library but this had no effect on iPHoto.

I really appreciate the help. Here are the first 50 lines or so.

Help First Aid Fails From Install Disk

My I-Mac G-5 crashed and on restart is displaying the grey screen with the question mark instead of finding the os / hard drive. I rebooted again from the install disk holding down C and when I went to verify and repair the disk... the repair option wasn't selectable and when I select verify i get this message
"First Aid failed
"Disk Utility stopped repairing permissions on '(volume name)' because the following error was encountered: No valid packages"
The Apple support on this topic here
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25704
only covers when the application disk utility fails from your OS... But its failing for me from my INSTALL Disk.
Thanks in advance!

That error occurs because either the /Library/Receipts/ folder has been deleted or its contents were deleted. Without that DU will not function. This is because when you repair permissions Disk Utility uses the Receipts folder on the OS X volume being repaired.
However, it cannot fix your problem. Your problem results from damaged or corrupted system files required during startup. The only solution is to reinstall OS X. You may be able to do this without erasing the drive by doing an Archive and Install:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
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.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
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.

Recovering From Hard Drive Crash

My iMac's drive recently crashed. Fortunately, I had a pretty good back up plan in place. I have all of the "Home File" data on the back up including all of the iTunes data. I have re-added all of the music and it appears and plays in iTunes on the new drive. What files do I need bring over from the back up to re establish my playlists and preferences? Is this even possible at this point?
iMac G5 PPC Mac OS X (10.4.9)

i would recommend using sentui. even though i was VERY SMART of you to back this up, when my mac crashed and i lost all my info, i used sentui. it uses the music on your ipod and puts i back in itunes. playlists and all. and its free.

Need help & advice RE transferring from a hard drive to a new imac.

Hello, firstly I apologize if I am setting up this question in the incorrect location, I am technology illiterate even as far as forums. Recently my 2007 Imac stopped working, repair people removed the hard drive (I believe) from it for me as it was too expensive to fix the machine. My big worry now is hopefully files from my old computer can be transferred to a new Imac? Also if so, is it something I can be walked through, as there aren't really a lot of reliable tech repair businesses in my local area? Is there also anything I should be mindful of when purchasing a new computer? My old system was 20"Mac, 2.0GHz, 1GB, 250GB capacity, I am assuming as long as my new system has better specs a transfer would work, but I really have no clue? Is there any special equipment I would have to buy, should I be aiming to get a new computer with certain specs? (get a system with 320 GB capacity, as opposed to 250GB for example) Sorry for all the questions, more so if they should be obvious, any help much appreciated!

Hello and thank you kindly for taking the time to offer assistence. I believe its intel based, it is this model as linked to here.
http://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac-core-2-duo-2.0-20-inch-aluminu m-specs.html
Please bare with me so I can see if I have this right. Migration Assistent is an application or feature on the Imac I will be getting (will be a newer model than the one I posted above) - my newer computer would be considered the host and my older computer the target? Here is a bit I get a bit unsure. When the last repairmen gave me back my computer, they gave it back with the hard drive seperated - is that a factor or something worth mentioning? I am assuming that I need a wire of some sort or can a transfer be done wirelessly? I have tried figuring all this out and seen firewire cables mentioned a bit, but err I can't even find any sockets on the hard drive given to me by the repairmen whick makes me wonder if I am even looking for the right kind of info. Oh and I ~ to be continued ~
