HELP! Hard drive is dying

Hey folks, I have a hard drive that's not cooperating anymore.. here's what happened
I was working in Final Cut Pro. I was taking some video that was rendered for dvd video and trying to use it in a timeline... anyway, the mac froze up bigtime, all I could do was restart. All of the data was on an external 500 gig Western Digital drive.
When I restarted, the OS asked me if I wanted to reformat the new disk, so I said no, unplugged the drive and plugged it back in, then the drive icon was there and all. I started up final cut pro again, and it said there was a problem with my scratch disk, which was the external. So, I opened up the drive folder and everything was there, I could open files and all, but when I tried to copy stuff over to it, it gave me an error saying the file name was too big (test.txt was too big?). I opened up Disk Utility and it tried to repair the drive, and it gave me an error, something about it being unable to unmount the disk. I repaired permissions on my main drive, tried again and nothing.
So, I rebooted again. Got the same reformat dialog, clicked no. unplugged the drive and plugged it back in, then the icon didn't come back. The lights went on on the drive and it made the same old start up sounds it always did. I ran Diskwarrior (version 3 not 4 but I doubt that mattered) and it got errors when it would scan for the hard drives. I rebooted from the DW CD, and it crashed and rebooted itself.
A while ago I had something similar happen where the enclosure died, and when I got a new enclosure it worked. So, I cracked open the new drive's enclosure, and this one was a SATA drive, so I stuck it in the mac instead of buying a new box for it. Anyway, there's no hard drive icon, but Disk Utility is showing the drive if I let it sit for a long time to think about it. It just shows the drive itself and doesn't have another icon under it with the drive's name, the way my main drive is set up, and the name is all in red. It says the drive is failing and back up what i can asap. Well I can't back anything up if I can't mount it
So, anyone have any ideas? I can go buy a new external to back up the stuff onto, if I can just get to it. I know the data is there because the last time I was able to browse the drive I saw everything and it was all working, I just couldn't write to the drive.
Also for my system info, I'm running OS 10.4.11 on a dual 2ghz G5 (the original one). My main drive works fine, I have this drive connected as the 2nd drive now. Again I tried Diskwarrior and also something called Boomerang, neither seemed to do anything...

Can you access the drive when you connect it to another computer?

  • I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died.  Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

    I have a 4th gen 20G ipod whose hard drive has died.  Are replacement hard drives available through the apple store?

    I don't think Apple will do that repair for you, because the iPod is too old.  I believe the hard drive type used in 4th gen and older iPods is no longer produced.  There may be non-Apple shops who can do the repair, but they may be using a working part salvaged from a used iPod.
    If you want to do the repair work yourself, and you are good at such things, this web site has repair guides
    http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPod_Original
    (There are probably also YouTube videos on the topic.)
    NOTE:  There are two hard drive physical sizes.  The thick version has two platters, and corresponds to the "thick" iPods (with double storage capacity).  A 4th gen 20GB model should be the thin version.  The hard drive used in iPods up to 4th gen should work interchangeably, but 5th gen and later iPods use a different type.
    I have a 4th gen iPod that started out as a 20GB.  The hard drive failed, so I put a compact flash card on an adapter in there.  The adapter is like this one (I bought it a few years ago so it's probably not the same seller)
    http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Compact-Flash-CF-SSD-To-Toshiba-IPod-1-8-inch-Adapte r-Black-/121174875639
    The compact flash card is standard; I bought the cheapest one.  I currently have an 8GB card in there, but prices have come down, so I may get a 64GB card soon.  It works great with the 8GB card.  No more hard drive spin-up delay.  Battery lasts longer.  It's lighter.  And it should be more shock resistant.
    The only mod I needed to make on the adapter was to bend over two pins 90º, where you place a jumper to set the drive to "master."  The adapter plus CF card is actually smaller and thinner than just original 1.8-inch Toshiba hard drive; I used some thin foam packing material (cut to the right shape) to take up the excess space and ensure the adapter and card did not become disconnected.
    The 4th gen iPod has excellent sound, compared to some later iPods.

  • Think hard drive is dying- please help!

    Started the G5 today and heard clicking/ cludding sounds. I believe they came from the top of the tower, which is where the hard drives are (I have an extra one for video storage). The OS would not start up but instead I got a “?” flashing on and off and I believe it was inside a small folder. I had been noticing sounds that sound like shifting to me from a hard drive (impossible to tell which one) for a while now. Last time I heard sounds like this was on my PC and the drive was dying.
    Told all this to the AppleCare rep who went through some stuff then concluded that it was a software issue and I should try removing one of the 2 programs she was unfamiliar with: Little Snitch and the software for my Contour Shuttle (like another mouse for video work). I told her this was unlikely as these were very common aps and everything had been fine for quite a while. She said I was welcome to take the G5 to a service center where they could test if it was in fact a hardware issue.
    What I’m wondering is 1- does this sound like a hardware issue & 2- is there a way to backup the whole drive?
    I may have another SATA drive I could use to back it up and have a TrayDock external FW800 case that allows you to use internal SATA drives. I’ve taken drives from the TrayDock and used them on the G5s other internal slot w/o issue. So it seems to me all I would need to do is get all the info on to the backup, and set the jumper setting correctly. Am I right? If so, how do I get all the info onto the backup and how would the jumper need to be set when it becomes the main Macintosh HD?

    I read a report Google did on hard drive failures. It is available in pdf format and quite interesting.
    I use Applejack religiously along with Disk Warrior 4 and Carbon Copy Cloner 3. I also use Intech Speedtools to handle bad blocks, defrag, zonebench/quickbench. And I regularly zero my drive before using and again on yearly basis or as needed.
    I am not sure why having 4.5 GB RAM would be a factor unless running Memtest or Rember or the Apple Hardware TEst in Extended/Loop Mode.
    The best way to "defrag" is quite simple, old-fashioned. It is called *backup and restore* with an erase/zero drive in the middle (dump simultaneously to two tape sets would be very old school!).
    DW4 - hold down option and the Rebuild button changes and lets you do a deeper 'scavenger" run which is helpful. I would run the test files first too, but it always opens to the directory rebuild.
    When dealing with a problem drive, I start by throwing away stuff I don't need, have backed up, and can replace. From newest to older. Peeling an onion to unravel any cross-linked files in the process.
    If it is a boot drive and early on, consider using Single User Mode and fsck along with Applejack. You want to delete all the cache and swap files along with any temp files or logs. It works. And restart into Safe Mode.
    SMART is not very smart and does not "predict" failures. That was just one of the conclusions of the Google study where they use thousands of drives and need to know about reliability.

  • I think my hard drive is dying?

    My daughter's ibook G-4 seems to be dying. Although she's had it for almost 5 years (yes, really), it's recently started to lock up or go blank even when she's using it or even if she moves it a little. She has to restart constantly - every few minutes. Can anyone help?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    After 5 years, the hard drive could well be dying, as they have an average useful life span of 3-5 years.
    Unfortunately, it could also be having logic board problems.
    Do you have the original discs? If so, a good place to start troubleshooting is with the Apple Hardware Test, which will be on one of the original discs. Run the extended version, and repeat back how it goes. In particular, notice if it seems to run normally when booted from the disc, or if it has the same problems as when booted from the hard drive. If you get any error codes, post back with them.
    Good luck!

  • Please Help - Hard Drive Gone - Won't Mount - No AppleCare...

    Hi guys,
    I'm in trouble here..
    I was loading a bunch of photos from an external drive to iPhoto and my iMac froze up for a long time.
    I couldn't do anything at all - so I finally force-powered down.
    When I powered back up - My Hard Drive was gone and Finder will not open.
    Other applications in my dock such as web browsers, iTunes etc. seem to be unaffected - I can also access Disk Utility and other Apps through Spotlight, but No sign of my "Macintosh HD".
    I ran a "Verify Disk" in Disk Utility - and here's the report it provided:
    Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
    Checking HFS Plus volume.
    Checking Extents Overflow file.
    Checking Catalog file.
    Checking multi-linked files.
    Checking Catalog hierarchy.
    Checking Extended Attributes file.
    Checking volume bitmap.
    Checking volume information.
    Volume Header needs minor repair
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
    Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1 HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    ---The "Repair Disk" Button in Disk Utility is all grayed out though so I can't run it...
    I'm at a loss. I can't afford AppleCare, and they won't help me because I'm just out of my 90 day phone support...
    I'm on an Intel Core 2 Duo iMac - the last Glossy White one before the new ones.
    I've got the latest version of Tiger.
    Any advice would be a Godsend. I'm afraid I may have ruined my iMac.
    Thanks!

    We usually try to give folks who come here simplified advice that keeps them comfortable troubleshooting and repairing their Macs and won;t raise other issues for them. Command line tools don't usually fall into the simplified category and fsck for Mac OS X Tiger is not recommended by Apple, except as a last resort. It is known to cause other issues.
    From the Apple Knowledge Base article that Dale has linked below;
    Note: If you're using Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you should use Disk Utility instead of fsck, whenever possible.
    If you can successfully start up in Safe Mode or use Disk Utility while started up from a disc, you don't need to use fsck.
    IMO, it isn't helpful for you to come along and contradict sound advice from folks who have used the Knowledge Base and are aware of Apple's recommendations because you think that you know better.

  • If my hard drive has died can I reinstall Indesign CS4

    Hi
    I purchased CS4 and both myself and my partner downloaded no problem, this week however the hard disk has died on the laptop - how if at all can I download onto a new mac?
    thanks

    Peter, FYI, I'm not sure that link is as good as you may think.
    I recently wiped my HD and installed a new OS (from 10.4 to 10.6). I had backed up my CS3 download installer to DVD when I got it in 2008, but for some reason, I couldn't get the installer to work when I put in on the newly-wiped drive. I remembered that you had suggested this particular link recently, so I tried it, but it didn't work for me. I clicked on the link for Mac CS3 Design Standard, and after signing in (as requested), it took me to the Adobe downloads page where only CS5 was available.
    Fortunately for me, I tried loading from my backup DVD again and got it to work. I'm not sure why it didn't work the first time, but I probably just made a mistake. I suppose I could have made a similar mistake in trying the download from this page, but if you would care to give it a try, maybe you can verify that it really works.

  • IBook running slowly, hard drive possibly dying

    My iBook has been working reasonably well (bar the occasional odd noise) but in the last few days it's started running really slowly. This morning when I switched it on, it took about fifteen minutes to start up, where it used to take about five, and then ran really slowly once it had started. I restarted and got the same problem; worked ok on the third try. It doesn't run slowly every time I turn it on, but sometimes it is just ridiculously slow and I just have to restart it until it works properly.
    I took it to the computing service at my university. They said it's possible that my hard drive is on the way out. I have been told to back everything up and bring it in for diagnostics, so I'm about to get started on backing up.
    If my hard drive does break down, can it be replaced, or is this the sort of situation where it's cheaper to just replace the whole thing, given the age of the computer?

    What is the MHz rating of the iBook?
    How much RAM is installed?
    What is the hard drive capacity and how much space remains available on it? Sometimes things start to slow down when your hard drive has less than 5 GB of free hard drive space.
    Try booting into Safe Mode. This will take awhile longer than a normal startup because it does a file check and repair of the hard disk. Once completely started up in Safe Mode, restart normally, and go to Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility. Click on the top hard drive icon in the left sidebar and note the S.M.A.R.T. status at the bottom right of the pane. What does it say?
    Select the named boot volume in the left sidebar, and repair permissions on it. A little hard drive maintenance may help things out.

  • MBP keeps crash, hard drives keep dying

    Around a year ago i purchased a lemon of a macbook pro.
    In the past 12 months the hard drive has failed twice, i am currently on hard drive number 3.
    Apple tell me that I have just had a run of bad luck.
    Now since the latest hard drive replacement, the machine simply dies / crashes for no reason - sometimes when I am not even using it.
    I have pasted a crash report below, if anyone can shed any light on this, it might help me get to the bottom of the issue. I dont believe it is a hard drive issue. I think Apple are replacing the symptom without looking for the cause.
    Thanks

  • Terminal help - hard drive rescue

    Hi, I have a little bit of a problem. My hard drive is unbootable, but still mountable. *My goal is to gain access to the hard drive, and copy everything on it to an external hard drive*. Note, because it's unbootable, I don't have a lot of options.
    Also, *the Firewire port on the machine is not working*. Thus, any file transferring must be accomplished over USB or Ethernet. I also have access another Mac, if that would be of any assistance. Now let me throw you some ideas here. (For the record, I don't know if any of this will help, but it's worth a try.) *I have booted the machine off the Leopard Install Disc. This now gives you access to several options:*
    *Startup Disk. Disk Utility. Terminal. System Profiler. Network Profiler.*
    Something tells me Terminal might be able to make some magic happen. Unfortunately, I know nothing about the voodoo commands that can be issued in it to get this plan into action. I hear rumors about something called Single User Mode, however I know very little about it (other than, if entering the wrong command, erasing your drive).
    So if anyone out there has any suggestion as to how to set this up, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

    How do you know the disk is mountable? Do you see it with Disk Utility when booted with the install disk? Try this, if you downloaded the 10.5.2 COMBO update before experiencing your problem. Boot with the install disk, select your language, select Disk Utility from Utilities->File->Open disk image, select the combo image, mount it, and try to run it, selecting the hosed HD. If you don't have the COMBO update, download it from http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1052comboupdate .html, and transfer it to the HD via USB or ethernet from another computer. Since you don't have an operable FireWire port, using target disk mode (the preferred option) is out.
    If you can't do the above, then post your Terminal queries to the Unix forum under OS X Technologies where the Terminal and Unix gurus hang out. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106388 and http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106237 describe single-user mode operations.

  • External hard drive has died, can I restore iTunes library to new drive?

    The external hard drive containing my 120GB library has died, but I have iTunes Match and all my music on my iPod. Is there any way to redownload, move, or restore my library to a new hard drive without having to re-import my library into iTunes?
    Thanks!

  • Help, hard drive sled 4 torx screws are different types

    I have a late 2007 Santa Rosa MacBook. I was a Boy Scout and try to always be prepared. So I ordered a spare Seagate ST9160821AS drive. The copy went just fine. So I decided to order a spare hard drive sled from Ifixit.
    There I notice the 4 torx T-8 screws are not the same. 2 have "shoulders / built in washers" while 2 do not.
    So I remove my original sled and see the same 2 with shoulders and 2 without torx screws.
    Problem is I didn't pay any attention as to where they originally went.
    So if you have a virgin MacBook (or knowledge), could you tell me where the shouldered screws go. Maybe the end with the pull out tab or on the same side? I do not know.

    Thank you for the reply. I have carefully studied the 4 holes in the sled and they all seem to be the same diameter.

  • So, my hard drive just died and I'm looking to replace it.

    How do I know which hard drive I should buy and if its compatible with my iMac(mid 2010)? Yea I know it only lasted a little under a year... *dissapointed*

    Call Apple's Customer Support - in the US, (800) 767-2775 and/or walk it into the nearest Apple Store.
    Good luck in any case.

  • I think my hard drive is dying, do you agree?

    Hello folks! I have a late 2011 15" MbP, and recently it has become extremely slow and glitchy. I have checked the activity monitor to see if anything is using up my memory (I have 8 gb) or my processor (I picked the best one offered at the time), and even when my computer is completely frozen, the activity monitor does not show any excessive processor or ram usage. My computer being glitchy and slow randomly started about 5 days ago, I have not installed/done anything different in the last few days, so I don't think that is the problem. Also, I have windows 7 installed via bootcamp, and it is experiencing the exact same problems. I have had to force restart (hold the power button down) both operating systems at least 2 times each today, so I think it is getting worse. Does this sound like a failing hdd to anyone?
    Thanks!

    Actually I took some time to "revisit" the free space recommendations. For power users (e.g. media production) users free space is recommended not to drop below 50% of the boot volume space.
    The fusion drive puts the OS on one drive and your applications & data on another - its seamless you don't have to do anything the OS is monitoring how much free space the boot volume can access.
    Partitioning a single drive (in the case of Mavericks that wants 8GB minimum - such a partition should be that 8, plus room for VMEM and scratch files)... so make a 12-25GB partition (how many apps will you install)  and put the OS on that would act in a like manner - but it would not be a Fusion drive and it would not be seamless,
    You would use the rest of the drive for storage and apps that do not have to reside (installer allows you to change the default install site) on the boot volume.

  • Help, hard drive issues!

    I can't boot from my start up disk, is there anything I can do? I've tried booting from the install disks, booting from my external drive, I tried Disk Warrior, and now I'm running Prosoft Data Rescue II to try to recover my data. Is there anything else worth trying? I'm desperate, I have all my school work on there. Thank you so much.

    Hi Graham
    Sorry to hear of your woes. I assume you don't have a backup?
    The only other things left that you haven't tried are FireWire Target Disk Mode (but you need access to another Mac for that) and, perhaps, Drive Genius.
    Also bear in mind that if you are going to use Data rescue, you need a spare drive with plenty of free space on it.
