I got the dreaded "Invalid Node Structure" Error

Hi All,
I entered the Mac world recently with a spanking new Macbook Pro 15". Updated it online to the latest OS 10.6.4 Snow Leopard.
Today I was trying to install some more free application from the Official Mac Software Site. After installing a couple of softwares, I popped in the included recovery Disk and tryed installing xcode from the 'additional software' folder on the disk. But this failed
After this I thought of restarting the mac and try again. However, the **** thing now wouldn't boot anymore. Just stays on the Gray apple screen with the small ring rotating below it for ever.
Then I tried repairing it using the Disk Utility booting form the DVD. On verify Disk, it shows 'Invalid Node Structure'. So I clicked 'Repair Disk', And it just stayed there for ever without any progress. So I stopped it. And after trying the above 3-4 times, I Hard rebooted the system, and this time entered the console mode (Command + s).
Entered the command fsck_hfs -rf /dev/disk0s2 (disk0s2 is what Disk Utility showed me).
The output of this command shows:
** /dev/rdisk0s2
Executing fsck_hfs (version diskdev_cmds-491.0.2~7).
** Checking Journaled HFS Plus Volume
** Checking extents overflow file
** Checking catalog file
** Rebuilding catalog B-tree
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
disk0s2: I/O error.
And this goes on and on and on.... :((
Now what to do???

Hmmm, yeah that could be the last option, but I can't format the disk right now, 'cause I've some extremely important (not-yet-backed-up) files in it
So I'd like to try out all possible ways to recover the system before even thinking of a format!
BTW, the above fsck_hfs command I ran was by booting from the DVD itself.

  • Invalid node structure error when verifying hard disk, please help

    My 27" Mid 2011 iMac is having hard disk issues. I attempted to repair the disk but received an error that said the disk cannot be repaired and needs to be re-formatted. I have all my files backed up to an external hard drive so I erased and formatted the disk. After reformatting, I ran the verify disk function and got the message saying the HD appears to working properly. I reload OSX Lion and within a day, my computer freezes up and acts as if something is wrong. When I run the verify disk, I get the Invalid Node Structure error multiple times and then the message saying the disk cannot be repaired and I need to reformat the drive. I have completed this process several times and have had no luck. I have looked at a few forums with people who have had somewhat similar problems but am still unsure. I have seen people recommend programs like Disk Warrior to repair issues the hard disk utility cannot but I don't want to spend $100 dollars on this program if my hard disk is damaged and needs to be replaced. Any suggestions? Thank you

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
    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.

  • Recurring "Invalid Node Structure error"

    Hello all,
    Starting a new thread with this one....
    Have done 5 complete re-partitions, clean SL installs and back ups from TM in the last four days. DU disk checks out fine after re-install, DU comes up clean.
    After a few hours, the hanging beach ball returns, I run DU and get the "Invalid Node Structure" error message.
    This in on the iMac that is 42 days out of Apple care......
    Ran techTool after the last install, and it comes up clean....
    What's the soultion? Nuke the drive and get a new on on my dime?
    I've repartitioned, zeroed out the data and sit here with a naked drive, I really don't want to spend another day loading it up if it's shot....
    The TM files and drive I'm backing up from check out fine.
    Thanks,
    Mark

    Took 3+ hours. Came up clean. I have not restored from TM yet. Did the SL updates ect.
    Repaired permissions, ran DU it comes up clean.
    I will do some net surfing tonight (that's all I did this morning) still without loading the back up data, and we'll see if I get the beachball of death.
    I will run another surface scan when I hit the hay, and see what it says in the morning.
    If that is clean, I will restore the back up data, and run the surface scan again.
    One step at a time until I can recreate (or not) the failure mode.
    Tedious, but I have to get to the bottom of this. I don't want to load any of the TM back up on to the Mac Air until I'm sure it's not a software issue.

  • Dreaded "invalid node structure" dealie

    The MB had been running slowly and a lot of applications (particularly web browser) were having a hard time shutting down. I was occasionally required to do a hard restart. That being the case, I ran DU and got the "Invalid node structure" alert, saying the drive could not be repaired. I took it to a "genius" at the local Apple store and he said that such an error is due to a software issue and, as such, not repairable under warranty. "You have to get Disk Warrior or Tech Tool. That should fix it."
    Well, I shelled out $100 for DW4 (which I know I should have, anyway) and it didn't fix anything. It said the directory couldn't be replaced due to disk malfunction (or somesuch). So, I figured it must be a bad HD, potentially. I even arranged for a take-in repair.
    Well, today I decided to run an fsck in single-user mode, just to see what I could see. It, too showd the invalid node structure, as well as B-tree. It also stalled at the end. I thought, "OK, now I really did it." After a hard reboot, I ran DU again to verify disk. This time, it came up with no errors found, disk does not rquire repair, disk verified, etc.
    I guess the question after all that - think I'm in the clear? What could the problem have been?

    Thanks for the response.
    When I got home from work, I ran DW. Unlike prevous attempts, it was able to rebuild and replace the directory. Re-ran Disk Utility once again, to be sure, and it came up as all good. Also, both DW and DU gave an A-OK to S.M.A.R.T. status.
    After rebuilding the directory, everything's running much faster and I no longer have to force quit all the time. Seems to be doing its thing.
    Fingers crossed ...

  • Invalid Node Structure error

    Hi All,
    I need some information on how I might solve a problem. I ran my Disk Utility earlier today to verify the HD on my MacBook Pro because my computer just seemed a bit off. It froze the other night when I shut it down.
    Here is the message I received:
    Verifying volume "Macintosh HD"
    Checking HFS Plus volume
    Checking Extents Overflow file
    Checking Catalog file
    Invalid node structure
    The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired
    ERROR: The underlying task reported failure on exit
    1HFS volume checked
    Volume needs repair
    I booted the computer from the original OS X Install Disc and tried to repair the hard drive, which didn't work. That's when I started reading the Tiger Forum. I have since discovered that this error cannot be repaired from the Install Disc and probably will require an erase and re-install. However, I did read about a 'fsck' command.
    I would like to give this a try, but am not at all comfortable with running commands. Would someone be willing to walk me through this and/or offer any other suggestion for fixing this?
    Thanks

    Michelle,
    Sounds like you are really learning a lot in a hurry. That's good. I can't tell you how long it will be before your system "acts up." I would take this opportunity to backup any really important data to DVD/CDs while you are in the process of getting an external drive and Disk Warrior.
    Good question about whether your file system error will be copied to you external drive when you clone with SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. I don't know exactly but it will certainly be better to have a backup that may be slightly imperfect than to have no backup at all. Of course, after you fix the error on your internal drive with Disk Warrior, then you will reclone your repaired system to your external.
    Regards,
    Steve M.

  • Invalid Node Structure errors keep coming back,

    Hi people!
    about 2 weeks I upgraded my internal HDD on my Mac Book 13" Unibody to a Western Digital Scorpion Blue 640gb... no big deal doing so. I booted up with the OX S 10.6 DVD and partitioned the drive into two and formatted each. I then installed OS X 10.6, then ran the software update. After every thing was complete I plugged in my USB 1TB drive and used Time Machine to create a backup.
    After about a week of normal use I woke up one day to have my Mac Book take nearly 10min to boot, and when it did it was barely moving. I booted with the OS X DVD and ran Disk Utility and in reported Invalid Node Structure and I could not repair it. But the errors were only on the partition with OS X on it.
    As I didn't have any files on that partition that I needed I did a Restore from Time Machine Backup that was on my USB drive. And all was good again. However this has happen about 3 times in the last 4-5 days. Each time I restore from the Time Machine backup and all is fine.
    I thought I had it pinned down to a particular open source app that I was using but I restored the drive again last night and did not use that app this time... and this morning I am getting signs that something is going astray again (slow boot up times and slow shut down times etc). I am going to boot to the DVD and run Disk Utility again... but I am wondering is this software or can this new HDD be a dude? I never had this problem with the factory 160Gb Fujitsu drive that the Mac Book came with - although I never did partition that drive.
    Any thoughts?
    Cheers,
    Chris

    Hi streamworksaudio;
    After you do that if this happens again, I would be really suspicious that drive is on the way out. I would be religious about backups and start checking around for a replacement.

  • The term "invalid node structure"

    can anyone out there explain (in real simple terms please) what "invalid node structure" means. this appeared when i ran disk utility and attempted to verify my start up disk. one day the disk was perfect, the next day it had invalid node structure and "needs to be repaired". so i started up from the install dvd and then ran disk utilities on the offending disk. the start up disk then indicated all was perfect. i restarted from the normal drive and again ran the utilities test. all is fine. so what is a node and how does it become invalid structurally and why did it get well by itself????

    Google "invalid node structure" and you'll find many mentions of this problem. It basically means a directory entry on your disk has become corrupted. Running Disk Utility's Repair Disk option can sometimes repair the problem. If not, Disk Warrior from http://alsoft.com/ is my disk repair tool of choice.

  • IMac (March 2009) - Invalid Node Structure problem

    Hi All
    I was using my iMac as normal yesterday, when suddenly the system ground to a halt (something I never seen since using OS X). As I had work to do, after about an hour, I restarted, expecting it to be an app misbehaving or something straight forward, but on restart the same thing happened almost straight away.
    So, I restarted again, only for the iMac to get stuck on the blue screen which follows the grey 'cog' screen. After looking through these discussions, and some other Mac forums, I booted from the installer disk, tried to run Disk Utility, which found issues and couldn't repair the disk.
    I then tried Safe-User mode and fsck, which reported the aforementioned Invalid Node Structure problem. After checking a few more forums, I thought I would try to Erase the disk and reinstall Mac OS. I restored from my Time Machine backup, and finally got it to start, but the system moved at a snail's pace, and wouldn't open any apps or files.
    I've tried again with fsck, and also fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s2 but all I get is the same error message:
    disk0s2: I/O error.
    Invalid Node Structure
    (4, 38403)
    ** Volume check failed.
    /dev/rdisk0s2 (hfs) EXITED WITH SIGNAL 8
    So, does anyone know if there is anything I can do to save the iMac? Or does it need a new HD? It is my primary work computer, so I really need to get it back, and after buying it in the UK, am now in France for 6 weeks, so it's difficult for me to take it to an Apple specialist.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,
    Daniel

    As the last user stated, Disk Warrior maybe able to correct it, however if you search the net, you will see there are more than one user with this problem. I had the same problem, however, my machine is out of warranty, It started like you are saying, I RAN disk warrior which corrected the problem long enough to boot the system. In a matter of 10 minutes or so, the system started pausing (apps hung, but in a matter of seconds recovered). I was checking the disk with fsck_hfs and fsck while booted from a USB drive with a maintenance install of 10.5.6. After running fsck the 5th time with different options suggested from the internet, I rebooted with my disk warrior DVD only to find the drive NOT mounted, Drive utility see's it (even can attempt to run disk repair, but it locks up the system when trying this). Disk Warrior doesn't even see the disk to run a directory repair, although in the "check s.m.a.r.t status it sees it as a sata device, and SAYS ITS NORMAL).
    Since my iMac was out of warranty, I followed the online instructions to replace the hard drive (not too difficult) and everything is fine now.
    The old drive still wont mount, but another utility I bought (data rescue II) has been able to quick scan it and access all the data, even though it wont clear a fsck fsck_hfs or disk warrior, anyways, get it back while you can, IT IS THE hard drive itself, and lots of other iMac users online with the same issue (can you say WHY is my iMac SOOO HOT on the apple in the back (right where the drive is and not sufficient cooling in my opinion, but hey, some people might want to lay their computers face down and fry eggs on the it or something... ))

  • 'Invalid node structure', 'Invalid B-tree node size', Disk Warrior useless

    Hi everyone, I am getting sick of this, it's the second time it's happened to me in a relatively short space of time, the first time with an Iomega external 500GB drive, this time with a 1.5TB Western Digital.
    I gave the Western Digital drive two partitions, (as I did for the previous Iomega drive), one for doing backups of my MacBooks internal drive, the other for random media, mostly VIDEO_TS folders.
    After going away for a couple of weeks, I returned home, plugged in the Western Digital drive via USB, the Internal backup partition showed in Finder, the other did not. Obviously I ran Disk Utility which was only able to show an error report with the usual 'Invalid node structure etc' message.
    I tried running Disk Warrior 4.2 (supposedly the version which works with Snow Leopard) from the DVD, (holding down the C key after restart), and..... nothing, just the grey screen and spinning wheel showing, so I gave up on that and installed DW to the Utilities folder. Now it starts up, the corrupt drive showed up, I hit the Rebuild button in DW, things seemed to be happening, but then the Beach Ball appeared and there was a (very) long hang before I decided to Force Quit.
    I am assuming that if DW can not fix the drive, it is done for, and may as well be used as a door stop.
    I am prepared to buy yet another drive, but can someone please give me an idea about why this has happened to me twice now, and what I can do to prevent it from happening again?

    Just erase the partition. Nothing yet suggests the drive is bad. When you got the drive did you prep it correctly? Usually bare drives are pre-formatted for Windows. You might consider doing this:
    Extended Hard Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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 two and size them as you prefer. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition 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 Options 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.
    Repeat Steps 4-6 for the other partition. Alternatively, you can start with a single volume. After the zero data erase you can then re-partition the drive.

  • Invalid node structure

    I have a Hitachi 500GB Go usb disk and its throwing Invalid node structure errors. I tried ripping an image from this disk, after about an hour or so of data copied (approx 100GB in the dmg) it will just close out and delete the .dmg, no errors, no nothing!
    Disk warrior and Disk Utility fail to repair the disk/directory.
    What's next for low-level access to this disk without having to buy expensive recovery software?
    Also, it happens on both mine and my client's MacBook Pros'

    Self-resolved:
    Fixed by booting into bootcamp Windows 7 (ironic right?) It seems to ignore this HFS error...
    Just so you know, the Windows app Recuva + Bootcamp will in fact give you a last-ditch chance to recover your data from a corrupted HFS disk like this one.

  • Invalid node structure macbook 10.6.8

    Im new to Macs and have absolutely no clue what to do im not worried about losing anything on it i just don't know how to fix and i don't have the disks i bought it used

    You are going to need to get the disks, as the 'invalid node structure' error means you need to erase your hard drive and reinstall everything. Try talking to the person you purchased it from (they should have given the disk to you with the computer) but if you can't get it from them, contact Apple, they should be able to get you a copy of the original disks. There may be a small charge. If you can't get copies of the original disks, you will want to get a Snow Leopard install DVD which Apple sells through the online store - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    Best of luck.

  • Invalid node structure, files are visible in single mode

    I did something stupid today. First i ran my mac until there was no disk space, resulted in failing booting up. Went into single mode and did a mount command and deleted some big files. And now the disk check is failing and still not able to boot ios. All the files showes up in single mode, but not sure how to proceed. When running fsck it gives invalid node structure error. Marry x-mas :) any ideas?

    You might try using Disk Warrior to fix the error, but Disk Utility cannot. Short of DW you will need to repartition and reformat your hard drive unless the Recovery HD partition is still usable. If it is then you can do the following:
    Install or Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
      1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
      2. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the
          left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
      3. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on
            the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass. Click on
          the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
      4. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • WTFKK is "Invalid node structure"???

    I had Mac OS X 10.7.4 and a weird problem that i did mention in this: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4110520?start=0&tstart=0. I did erased Macintosh HD with Zero Out Data option and try to reinstall Lion, but failed all the time. So i decided to reinstall Snow Leopard with DVD come with my 2011 based-iMac. It failed for some first times, but finally it successful installed.
    I guess that the problem was gone, but no. When i try to update to 10.6.8 to upgrade to Lion again, it failed. Try again, again and again, finally it succeeded, but the update for iTunes still failed, whatever, i don't care about that any more. I inserted Applications Install DVD to install iLife, and O...M...G, failed, failed, failed. But finally, it succeeded too. And now i'm going to reinstall Lion on my iMac, failed, failed,failed, and so crazy, it finally succeeded. I logged in, doing some update, oh god, failed. I took a look at Disk Utility, "Invalid node structure", ooohhhh mannn, this make me so hate iMac and Mac OS. So i shuted it down and go out for a while. When i came back, it's bulllshittt, the startup with long gray bar again, and suddenly shut down. I'm gonna unplug it and throw it out of my house!! I reinstall everything again like what i did, and now i'm writing these with Snow Leopard 10.6.8, and maybe the daamn "Invalid node structure" still waiting for me anytime!!!

    You might want to check the health of your drive with the free demo of SMART Utility. That is, if you can get it booted.
    http://www.volitans-software.com/smart_utility.php
    Did you ever run Disk Utility Repair Disk?
    For memtest:
    To test the memory, get memtest and run it in single user mode, where it will test as much memory as possible, more than with the OS loaded.
    You can get memtest + directions from the link below. However, ignore running it from Terminal. Instead, boot into SU Mode, Cmd-s at the startup chime. (Best to startup from a full shutdown.)
    At the prompt, simply type  /usr/bin/memtest all 3 -L (From this link It will be installed in /usr/bin/) Then hit return. This will run three loops of memtest and create a log in Console in Utilties.
    If you want to run memtest longer, which may be advisable, since RAM errors can be very elusive, just remove the "all 3" which will give you /usr/bin/memtest -L  and hit return. It will keep testing until you quit it.
    If you want to quit the test, just hit control-c
    When finished, you can just type in "reboot" and hit return.

  • I have an error of invalid node structure

    I have an error of invalid node structure.  Can I save my data from my hard drive? Is it even fixable?

    Invalid Node Structure is not a hardware failure, it never was (you may still have a hardware failure, but the Invalid Node error is not indicative of this problem. 
    Still, Disk utility will certainly fail to fix it, and DiskWarrior will probably fail too.  
    But don't despair.  Try this, and don't give up till you've tried it at least three times.
    First, get the name of the partition of the failing volume.   You can get it most easily by finding your disk in Disk Utility, selecting your partition (not the drive) and type cmd-i.    Look for "Disk Identifier" right at the top.
    Then,  open up Terminal, and type this:
    sudo /sbin/fsck_hfs -yprd /dev/disk5s2 
    substituting your disk identifier for the one already here.   Keep the "/dev/" part.   Enter your password, and wait.  It may take a while.  I have had this fail several times before finally working so its important to keep trying.   It's faster than a reformat!!!
    If the afflicted disk is your startup disk, you will need to do this in recovery mode: restart the computer, hold down option, and wait for the disk options to appear.   Select that, then proceed to Disk Utility and then Terminal as described above.  
    Good luck, and always keep a backup!
