Hi,
It may be that you have inadvertantly wiped the Recovery Partition D when sanitising the drive, or it may have become corrupt.  Either way, you best option is to reinstall the OS using recovery discs as these will also re-create the Recovery Partition on the HDD.
You can order a replacement set of Recovery Discs using the link below.

  • Restoring .dmg image from external to Mac HD in Disk Utility: "Unable to scan image (Input/output error)"

    Hi guys,
    So I've got a problem with restoring the image backup I did (using Disk Utility) of my 500GB HD on my MBP which was acting weird or maybe even crashed a few months ago. After creating the backup image and putting it on my external device, I installed Mavericks back to see if everything was alright (mainly the HD) and everything seems okay.
    I did try restoring the backup image through disk utility before installing mavericks (thus erasing everything again on the HD) AND after. But nothing..
    The whole process starts fine and then it starts scanning the image when after maybe a good 10-15min in I get a message that says that it was unable to scan the image. I tried verifying the disk(s), everything came out "OK". Also tried scanning it through Images > Scan image for Restore... with the same results.
    While searching I've seen people getting messages like "Unable to scan filename.dmg (Invalid argument)" and "Unable to scan filename.dmg
    (Internal error)" but none have (Input/output error)
    The screen grab is below.
    I also came across something about using terminal/commands but I'm not that savvy with it, especially considering that those there had issues with either mounting or trouble finding the image.
    I've also tried moving the backup image to a different external device 2TB and also the desktop because I read it may have to do with the format of the externals or maybe free space. But THEN I would get a message saying
    "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in "Mac HD Backup.dmg" can't be read or written. Error code -36"
    Fyi ALL my externals are HFS+/Journaled and the backup image format was compressed.
    I REALLY don't know what to do next. Was it the wrong move to create a dmg image? Have I lost everything? Is there still a way out?
    If anyone can help, THANKS!

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider. You may have to leave the machine there for several days.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional—ask if you need guidance.
    If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • HELP: Cannot restore DMG image stored on NTFS disk!

    Hello. My MacBook Pro has OSX Lion on it.
    I have created a DMG image of my starting volume using Disk Utility. The image was saved on an NTFS formatted external USB disk. I used Paragon NTFS for Mac to activate writing on NTFS partitions. The image was created, tested and it mounted fine. It's size is 105GB.
    I have restarted the system and am accessing Disk Utility from the recovery partition that OSX Lion creates. Disk Utility can see the NTFS disk and I can choose the DMG image as source and the partition on the internal hard disk as a target without problems but when I press the restore button and the Image scan process is going to start I just get an error that says "Unabke to scan Mac-OSX HD. Resource busy". When I try the SCAN BEFORE RESTORE command on Disk Utility on the image I am getting "Unable to scan MAC IMAGE.DMG (Not such file or directory)".
    I have already erased my startup disk and really need to get this image back in place. It is the only backup I have of my data.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thanks for the fast answer. Excuse my question but are you certain of this? This would be a big job because I would have to:
    1. Find another external hard disk. Most probably it will be NTFS formatted because this and FAT32 are the most common formats out there.
    2. Find another apple computer to transfer the image to the other hard disk
    3. Format my external hard disk as a HFS disk
    4. Transfer the DMG image back to the HFS hard disk.
    5. After this reformat my external hard disk as NTFS because I live in an hybrid world where PCs and Macs coexist and NTFS is a good bet for compatibility.
    If you indeed are certain that that is the correct answer to this situation then I will move into it immediately.
    Thanks.

  • How to restore rejected images?

    How do I restore images in Aperture that were accidently rejected during upload.   I can not seem to re load either.   They are in a folder but inactive

    Assuming they were successfully imported:  Filter the Browser for "Rejected".  Select them.  Change the rating to something else.
    If they weren't successfully imported, import them.

  • Restore dmg image problem

    Running disk utility after apple startup disk.  Created image of my HD and it is about 100GB.  I have a 320 GB drive.  Created a small 30GB partition after formatting and left 290GB.  Image won't restore to the 290GB partition...says "not enough space". 
    Plenty of extra space for the image...but the image was taken from the 320gb before I did the 30gb partition.  I can delete that partition and then it will work...telling me that my image requires every bit of the 320gb hard drive. 
    Any idea on how to make a 100gb backup image fit on a 290 GB partition not requiring the original 320 GB drive?

    Hi milehigh,
    download a (I think) free CCC utility app. (Carbon Copy Cloner.app) and that will accommodate what you want to do.

  • How to Restore disk image to smaller image?

    Hi there;
    Not entirely sure if this is where this question needs to be posted.
    I'm in a little bit of a pickle. I purchased a Imac g5 1.6 ghz (2004) and want to install Leopard (10.5) on it.
    I have a DMG copy of the installer but my problem was that the file is too large to be burned on a single layer DVD (i know I can burn it on a DL DVD, but I don't want to buy a pack of 5 DVD's and only need One). So I used disk utility and created a sparse image (8.7GB) and restore the DMG to that image. I stripped all the unneccessary files (languages and printer drivers). then I went back to create a 4.7 GB sparse disk image to restore the newly formatted DMG, but It still says that there is not enough space on the disk, when my Image is 4.7GB and the image is 4.45 GB.
    My understanding is that even though i'm only using 4.45GB it still shows as the original 8.7GB.
    I'm currently running OSX 10.7.4 (lion) on my macbook pro and disk utility wont let me complete the task I have at hand.
    I'm new to this so could someone help me?

    You can get
    1. Snow Leopard - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

    You can get Mavericks and Yosemite from the App Store.

  • No "install later" option in bootcamp? how to restore winclone image?, no "install later" option in bootcamp? how to restore winclone image?

    I have created an image of my windows partition using winclone 2.2 and got an image out of it already. But the problem now is when I wanna start it up and create a new partition using bootcamp, there seem to be no "install later" option and I have to put the disk straight away. How can I restore the winclone image? Plesae help me I need it. Its really urgent. Any sort of help would me appreciated.i

    From what I recall about Winclone, it requires you to have the destination partition already formatted (usually NTFS for Windows).  To get that on a Mac, you would need to run the BootCamp Assistant, create the partition, then run the WIndows installed to get to the point of copying files to the new partition, then you can cancel the install.  IIRC, the Windows install process doesn't commit the partition changes until you start to copy files to the new partition, so sopping any time before that may not leave your partition in the state you need for the restore anyway....

  • [SOLVED] How to restore kernel image after wrong /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

    I wanted to learn a bit more about the kernel and boot, and I'm afraid I cannot start up my ArchLinux anymore.
    I updated the /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to make the boot faster (with this reference: http://kmandla.wordpress.com/2007/01/30 … initcpio/) and executed #mkinitcpio -p kernel26
    I thought that if there was any problem, I could start up with the "fallback image". Certainly, there was a problem (probably I didn´t loaded all the modules required) and when I tried the fallback image, I experimented the same problem:
    Root device '/dev/disk/by-uuid/...' doesn´t exist
    ramfs$
    In fact, both images are the same (or at least they have the same size)
    I tried the ArchLinux liveCD to recover my system. There's no recovery service, so I started up the CD-ROM, mounted my ArchLinux partitions, generated the images and copied into the /boot of my Archlinux partitions. But the same problem is still there.
    What could I do to fix it?
    Thank you in advance

    Thank you. I follow your instructions and it worked (perhaps it would be simpler with a "#pacman -Sy kernel26"). I didn't know the command chroot and it's really interesting.

  • How to restore saved image to my SAS drive

    Hi all,
    I'm sure this has been discussed before but I haven't found an applicable thread yet.  
    I have Windows 7 Pro on a Thinkstation S20 with a SAS drive (not a SATA drive).  I am unable to restore my drive with my backup because the SAS drive is not detected.  What is the solution for this?  Any help is much appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok, I found this (from you, when you helped someone else) and it worked!  Woohoo!
    1.  Download CDSAS09WS17.exe from the Lenovo site.  For your case, I would download it again and start completely fresh.  I downloaded directly to a USB key, and then ran the .exe from the key and extracted the contents to a folder on the key.
    2.  Boot your system to the win7 install disc, run through the prompts (make sure you're not choosing upgrade).
    3.  When you get to the drive selection screen, click "load driver".
    4.  Point windows to where you extraced the Marvell driver files on your key.  Note that for 64 bit you should point it to the "amd64" folder.  Click OK.
    5.  Allow windows to load the driver.  Once it's done, it should come up with mv64xx.inf file.  Make sure the "hide devices that are not compatible with this HW is checked".  This way only a single driver should show.  Click OK.
    6.  Let windows install the driver.  Your drives should now be accessible.

  • Can't drag disk icon in Disk Utility to restore backup image

    I'm restoring my MacBook from a backup image I made on my external HD with SuperDuper! and I've run into a big problem. I've booted from my OS X CD. I'm in Disk Utility, and while my external drive mounts and I can select the image in the 'restore' pane, I can't for the life of me drag any icon to the 'destination' field. Any help with this?

    Hi
    I have exactly the same problem,i backed up my internal HD, and want to restore it by starting my mac mini intel single core with the original delivered os dvd including diskutilities.But no way it is not possible to drag a volume or partition to the required field to the left.I called apple support and the guy did not understand what I'm talking about at all, and told me he will forward to the developer dep.
    Never mind, I recovered the mac mini intel with ccc , thanks God I did an image backup and a ccc !
    Yesterday my mac mini intel audio hardware has broken, so I have to do another bkp with booted up os dvd to bring in to a serviceprovider.
    Tried to recover for security issues , but disk utilitiy did not work again , no drag 'n' drop possible - this problem never exists under powermac before and its driving me mad under intel macs
    I did a trick to show thats it is definitely the revision of this os dvd and disk utilities (x86 intel rev.)
    I did a clean install form this os dvd, then cloned the interal harddisk to a external firewire disk making it bootable (using ccc for all)
    I did no software update just clean from the dvd, restarted , choosed external firewire harddisk, et voila - opened disk utilitiy to restore dmg image for the internal hd and drag 'n' drop works without problems!!
    Resumee:
    my delivered os dvd 10.4.5 AHT vesrion 3A102 disc version 1.0 2Z691-5738-A has the biggest bug of all, it can not recover a backed up image at all - that is a revision e.g. release bug (error).
    I will have to return this dvd !

  • How do I restore a partitioned .dmg image to a new drive?

    I created a disk image of a partitioned drive (3 partitions) But when I run restore Disk Utility it only restores one partition. The size of the backup.dmg file is over 200gb so I know it imaged the contents of  all three partitions.
    I disk Utility is not capable of restoring my imaged hard drive, is there any software that is capable?
    I know my mistake, I should have imaged each partition separately, but that is the benefit of hindsight, now I need to get my data from, of course, the partition DU is not restoring, Arrg!

    When you mount the disk image, do all the partitions mount?

  • Cant restore my macbook with Disk utility and my .dmg image

    My macbook would not boot anymore. Stuck on gray screen with apple logo, spinning wheel and a loading bar for a while after shutting off.
    I was able to get to Disk Utility in the recovery mode and, after a while, was able to make an image of my filesin an attempt to back them up.
    The .dmg was put on an external and i checked it on my imac, i could open the .dmg file and browse all my files from my macbook, so those are safe!
    After that i tried to wipe the SSD of my macbook and put the image back but that didn't work, also some resource is busy errors.
    After trying this a few times without succes i figured i'd try to do a clean install. This worked.
    My macbook air is working again but if Iuse Disk Utility in the recovery now and try and restore my image (.dmg file) it gives me Restore Failure; An error (-16) occured (resource busy) as well. I also tried to copy the dmg onto my macbook and run disc utility when booted into OSX. I open up the back up .dmg with Disk utility, then i go to my macbooks partition (Macontiosh HD) and use that as a destination and drag the mounted image as the source as shown on the image below. Am I doing something wrong here?
    Doing this i get an error as well: (-119,930,878) Resource busy as you can see.
    What can i do to get my image back on my macbook? Any 3rd party software?
    I considered just transferring the files after opening the .dmg file but this works only for documents and not for programs and settings of the default apps.
    I've looked all over the Internet and it seems more people have had this error but then with making the image, they also suggest unmounting the destination disk before trying to restore but my destination is Macintosh HD, i cant really unmount that can i?
    Thanks in advance!

    To make a clone, in the future you need to use a program like superduper or carbon copy cloner.
    Either program makes an identical clone while preserving certain system files and marking/indicating to OS X that the clone is bootable.
    Using Disk Utility to make a DMG was a good idea, but this will not yield a bootable image.
    If Disk Utility could do a 1:1 copy of everything, then people would be using it to rip/duplicate DVDs.
    But Disk Utility does not (it leaves out certain invisible/system files), hence it cannot duplicate/clone a hard drive or DVD.

  • How do I restore all images in a collection to original imported aspect ratio?

    Typically I select all images in a catalog, resize the first image to 640x480.  I then right click on the first image (all images are still selected) click on Develop Settings, Sync and choose to sync only the aspect ratio.  All images are then cropped to 640x480 like the first image, which I then export to a folder.
    I then need to restore all images to the original aspect ratio for building a slideshow to export to my website.  I've followed the same procedure i.e. selected all images, click on the first image, change aspect to original, right click on first image and sync aspect ratio for all images.
    The problem is that the rest of the images do not return to their original aspect ratio but revert to 4x6 aspect ratio instead of the original size when imported.  I've changed the lock to unlocked and tried both but still no result.  Now I have to select each image individually, open the crop dialog and choose custom to get it back to the imported aspect ratio.
    How do I batch restore all images in a collection to the aspect ratio when imported?

    Rotating an image is adjusting its crop rotation and crop size.  You originally said you wanted things back to import state which presumably was full resolution w/o any adjustments to ratio, size, or rotation.  If you are wanting to do things in the middle of your other processing I'm less sure what to tell you.
    Taking a crop that you have at 3:2 and setting it to 4:3 shrinks in the longer sides, and resetting the ratio to 3:2 shrinks down the shorter top and bottom--this is how it always works, because a crop box is not ever expanded by setting the ratio to something different, and changing the ratio back and forth like that makes the crop-box smaller and smaller. 
    Are you having an issue because you want to fiddle with the crop in the middle of other processing every time, or is this a special case because you've moved on in your processing after asking your question some time ago? 
    If you routinely need to do this, an easier way might be to export the images at the 3:2 crop, then reimport those JPGs, change the crop on those JPGs, only, then re-export them a second time, and be done with them.  This sounds like you're making proofs?
    If you are making proof-sized images at a different ratio?  Why not just export the 3:2 images at a smallish size, perhaps with a watermark and not have to worry about making them 4:3 ratio?
    Another alternative would be to print the images to JPGs instead of a printer, and set the paper size to a 4:3 ratio and turn on the Fill option--which will chop of the long sides automatically as it prints them.

  • Problem with restoring my HDD from .dmg image

    Hello,
    I encountered a problem with boot camp which couln't make a new partition for windows, because it couldn't move some files. It was a problem of defragmentation which i found surprisingly hard to solve. I'm a new mac user, and i was unable to find any defragmentation utility. Even the boot camp ask me to make and image of HDD, reformat it, and then restore from image. It was quite easy when i was reading it but after all i end up with new instalation of MacOS X without access to my files stored on HDD image.
    Here's what i did:
    1. I made images of HDD and and partition. To make images smaller i previously copied all of my multimedia files to PC. Images were created as read only, not compressed. They were stored on PC
    2. I have used disc utility after booting up from MacOS X CD, and made a new partition. It's name is the same as the one i made image from.
    3. Now it's the point when i should restore my partition from image but i encountered some problems. I copied images to mac again and was trying to restore partition from it but disc utility said it doesn't have any checksums or something like that. I read that it was a problem of verifying image with disc utility (the first button on the upper left side called verify.) It have checked image and made checksums but i still was unable to restore partition from it.
    Now, i know it might be silly to try restore HD from image on the same HD but shouldn't it shows some oder errors? After booting up from CD i can't connect to PC to browse it's resources and writing address (http://pcname/folder/partition.dmg) in source line in restore tab does not do anything.
    Is the only solution to connect a firewire hard drive to my mac with images on it? Or it is a problem with my images (making image process didn't showed any errors with HDD image and partition image).
    Moreover i cant access those images on my MBP cos it's says that there are no mountable file system. Does it means that this image is bad?
    Please help, I'm running out of options as i don't have firewire HDD and i'm really annoyed cos things like defragmentation are so easy on Windows and i don't get it why it's must be so complicated on Mac
    Sincerely
    PS sorry for my english
