Installation failing due to "damaged drive"

I'm hoping someone can help me! I bought Lion yesterday and tried to install it this morning. The MacBook restarted to start the Lion installation but after a couple of minutes it stopped saying that my hard drive is damaged and cannot be repaired! I tried to restart the computer, but I cannot go back to my Snow Leopard desktop to run the Disk Utility. Rebooting in Safe Mode after I get the "Installation Failed" screen does not work, the MacBook simply restarts over and over again without showing the progress dial. Do I need to reboot from the Snow Leopard DVD? What am I to do if I don't have it? It was a family pack purchase and my mom has the DVD. In another country.
Thanks!

Without the DVD you are hosed that is why they say family packs are for Mac in the same household. You are going to have to wait for her to return it.

  • Component installation failing due to incorrect drive letter

    When checking the site status of our SCCM 2012 environment I discovered that the SQL component server showed a critical status.  The error log is full of events like the one I've copied below:
    Site Component Manager could not copy file "E:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\x64\smssqlbkup.exe" to "\\ALNS0014.ALONUSA.COM\L$\SMS_ALNS0050.ALONUSA.COM\bin\x64\smssqlbkup.exe".
    Site Component Manager reports this error when it fails to:
    1. Create the destination directory, if it does not already exist.
    2. Assign the proper directory permissions to the destination directory.
    3. Copy the source file to the destination directory.
    When I logged in to the SQL server I discovered that the SQL admin (who has since left the company) had changed the drive letters assigned to the different partitions; there is no longer a L$ drive.  The SMS_ALNS0050.ALONUSA.COM directory resides under
    a different drive letter.  My question is - is there a way for me to redirect the SCCM primary site server to the correct drive?

    It definitely seems tied to a SQL backup.  When I go to Site Maintenance & check the Backup Site Server task it's not currently enable.  Every hour I receive the error above for all the files in that referenced directory, followed by this error:
    SMS_SITE_SQL_BACKUP_ALNS0050.ALONUSA.COM
    Site Component Manager failed to reinstall this component on this site system.
    Solution: Review the previous status messages to determine the exact reason for the failure. Site Component Manager will automatically retry the reinstallation in 60 minutes. To force Site Component Manager to immediately retry the reinstallation, stop
    and restart Site Component Manager using the Configuration Manager Service Manager.
    It looks like it's trying to either reinstall or update the SQL component, but it's trying to go to the wrong path to copy the updated files.

  • Installation failing due to invalid packages

    During installation of Oracle 10G designer the repository installation fails due to invalid packages. When I examine the packages they are failing to compile based on dependencies on dbms_lock. I am running against a fresh installation of 11g on the database. I verified that the package exists and a public synonym has been created but I cannot see the package from any other user aside from sys. (system cannot see the package).
    Is there anyway I can open up sys.dbms_lock to allow it to be used in compiling these objects?

    How did you create the repository?
    Did you follow the steps of the installation guide?
    In this guide you find the folloiwing statements:
    grant execute on dbms_rls to repos_owner;
    grant execute on dbms_lock to repos_owner;
    grant execute on dbms_pipe to repos_owner;
    grant create table to repos_owner;
    grant create view to repos_owner;
    grant create procedure to repos_owner;
    grant create synonym to repos_owner;
    grant create sequence to repos_owner;
    grant select on sys.v_$nls_parameters to repos_owner with grant option;
    grant select on sys.v_$parameter to repos_owner;
    grant select on dba_rollback_segs to repos_owner;
    grant select on dba_segments to repos_owner;
    grant create any synonym to repos_owner;
    grant drop any synonym to repos_owner;
    In the statement you will see that the dbms_lock package is granted to the repos_owner. (repos_owner is the username of the repository owner, if you installed under a different user use that username)

  • CS6 Installation Failed due to missing files.

    I m having problem with the Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer now.
    It keeps saying missing files. I was installing my CS6 from DVD yesterday on my new Macbook Air. then the whole laptop hanged for a good 3 hours. So i did a cold boot. After restarted my mac, i launched the Installer in the disc and it prompted the Missing file error message. 
    Installation Failed. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. 
    More troubleshooting tips: 
    1. Restart your computer. 
    2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software. 
    3. Launch the installer and reinstall your applications. 
    I was not able to get pass this stage after numerous retry. Apparently the installer has already installed Bridge and some other components successfully. I tried to access the installer from the Utilities, but i met with the same error.
    Would you be able to advise me how to proceed from here?  Thank you very much.

    Hi kglad,
    thanks for the reply. i did try to uninstall by using Utilities > Adobe Installers >  Adobe CS6 Design & Web Premium installer, when i click the icon, i get "Uninstall Failed" error, it says:
    Your uninstallation encountered errors.
    Troubleshooting tips:
    1. Restart your computer
    2. Exit all applications including startup items, virus checking and firewall software
    3. Uninstall again.
    I have done all the above at least 3-4 times and also downloaded the cleaner tool, and ran it, but not items was listed for cleaning.
    Any idea how i should proceed?
    Thank you.

  • Installation failed due to Download Error

    I have just purchased Photoshop and Light room CC on a monthly payment scheme. I have downloaded Creative Cloud, but when I click 'Install' and attempt to download either of these programs (and trials of any other program) I get the message 'Installation Failed'. The only other information given is that it is because of a download error, and that I should contact customer support. How do I resolve this error?

  • Mavericks has failed due to hard drive problem

    I have tried to install Mavericks on my Mac Pro which is my office machine and mid way through it says it cannot install due to a problem with the hard drive and that I should back up my data.
    I do not have my time machine with me to resotre my Mac.
    How can I get past the OSX installer and reboot back into the previous version to remove the Mavericks install?

    Apple Genius said my logic board was bad along with a fan???
    SO I tried creativenature's IDEA
    “I had the same error 15 mins in to the install.
    I  ran disc utilities to repair the hard drive
    and then to get out of the endless loop of the installer
    While restarting... I held down Option while booting to select my HD drive.
    Booted up normally and have everything back”
    AND IT WORKED WOW!!!!!!! YAYAYAYYAYA!!!! PARTY!!!!!!
    I really do believe that Apple Genius’s should go through some more thorough process before helping customers/developers with problems.
    For example last month I had an Apple Genius tell me complete false information about the 2nd, 3rd, 4th generation iPad’s.

  • Uninstallation of LabView 6.1 fails due to invalid drive error

    I have LabView 6.1, NI Drivers and VISA installed in my Windows XP Professional. I did a full software installation moths ago. Now I am trying to install LabView 8.5 and the new drivers require previous versions to be removed.
    This yields a problem, trying to unistall 6.1 it turns out that buil-in uninstallation fails because of my Program Files being all installed in my main Windows unit device labelled with an F: letter. Uninstaller looks for a typical C: letter and fails. Is it not possible to change letters from Windows main unit devices (without risk).
    How can I uninstall the software from my computer?

    Thank you for all your replies
    1) Neither "Revouninstaller" nor "Free Uninstaller" seem to work. NI packages appear again after uninstalling them using the programme. This also happens with  ther Windows Ass/Remove software tool, though the latter is more inefficient (some package uninstallations are automatically aborted). I have been unable to uninstall any package with this methods.
    2) I will try msiblast, I saw a thread in the forum of people with similar problems. I will report the results tomorrow.
    3) Sorry, I meant my system drive partition. It is F: because of complicated problems that arised during a Linux Xubuntu + Windows XP dual boot installation. I had to put Xubuntu first and this yielded trouble.

  • Install failed due to hard drive issue -- now can't start Mac

    I downloaded and installed Mountain Lion, but about 5 minutes into the install it said it couldn't do it because of a hard drive failure. It then told me to restart and try again, which I did. It failed again for the same reason. This time I quit the installer and restarted. Now my Mac won't start up -- it gets caught on that first screen with the spinning icon.
    How can I get my Mac back up and running?

    Hi David,
    I am so sorry I could not post this earlier. It's too bad you replaced your drive. I hope you have not lost important data through this ordeal!
    I also went to the Apple Store yesterday (as I am covered under Apple Care) and had a consultation with a 'genius' who very quickly concluded that I either had a faulty hard drive (which I knew was not the case) or the ENTIRE contents of my primary hard drive were corrupted. According to him, my only choice would be to reformat and re-install from scratch. I was also chastised for not backing up my data before attempting to upgrade to Mountain Lion. He was also very persistent in asking (multiple times) if I "understood technology". I was dismissed with the excuse that there were other people waiting for him and he could not waste his time on me - he actually said that while walking away... The store manager offered to direct my to a couple of companies near-by that would be able (for a hefty fee) to restore my data.
    Anyways, this was not necessary. Despite the "corrupted data" error messages and the fact that the drive would not initially mount, the solution to the problem proved to be simple and my visit to Apple Store completely pointless.
    This is what worked for me:
    -- Use/borrow/buy (from Apple Store and then return for a refund) an external hard drive with firewire connectivity. The drive should have a fresh partition that you can erase and format as Mac OS Extended (Journalled) in Disk Utility.
    -- Connect your mac to the Internet, preferably over Ethernet.
    -- Restart the computer while holding the option key, select the Recovery Partition and begin the installation (in my case of Lion) by selecting to install on the freshly-created partition of the external hard drive.
    -- Once that is done, you can actual start OS from the fresh partition by again holding the Option key at startup. In my case, as the drive was indeed healthy, it mounted without issues and I was able to simply copy->paste ALL my data (which the 'genius' insisted was corrupted and forever lost) on a separate drive.
    -- After you back everything up, start up Disk Utility, erase and reformat the primary partition on your Mac (where you want the OS to be ultimately installed on) and repeat the installation process once again.
    Regards,
    Lena

  • Mountain lion install failed due to hard drive failure. It said I needed to repair the disk and I was taken to the lion recovery menu.

    Unfortunately, and quite idiotically, I never made a back up of my files and the lion operating system before trying to upgrade. My main concern now is just making sure none of my files were lost because of the install failure. I don't know what to do from here because I'm afraid to make a mistake and never be able to recover them again. What can I do to restore my computer back to normal? When I look under Macintosh HD in the Disk Utility option on lion recovery, it seems as if it recognizes that all of my files are still intact, because about 200 GB out of 319 GB are used up on it. This correlates to the amount of files on my disk. Pleaseeee tell me I didn't just lose all of my files. Any help will be greatlyy appreciated!
    Sincerely,
    Mathew Smith

    You only need the powered exernal drive, OS X reinstall is free to install on the external drive.
    Hold the option key and boot from the extenral drive.
    When OS X upgrades or installs (without a disk wipe first), it doesn't touch Applications and User account folders (only Apple programs) so as long as the drive and file system works, (even if OS X doesn't boot on that drive) the files can be recovered via normal drag and drop methods.
    If you can't access the files normally, only then you will have to install Data Rescue on the external drive (another $100) to read the 1's and 0's of the non-encrytped files directly, bypassing the file system structure. Thus is the price for not making adequate backups.
    Most commonly used backup methods
    In some major cities where there is a lot of computer tech support competition, you might be better with a local PC/Mac data recovery and restore service, saving you some money. But with the extenral hard drive you can then later make that a TimeMachine or clone drive, which you need anyway regardless.

  • [SOLVED] sup Installation Fails Due to Missing ruby-locale Dependency

    I'm trying to install sup from the AUR but makepkg -s fails because its missing ruby-locale, which is one of its dependencies (I get "error: target not found: ruby-locale"). This appears to be because ruby-locale isn't in the AUR or the official repository. ruby-gettext also isn't in either repository, so I'm guessing that will be a problem as well.
    I tried installing both of these with gem, and they appeared to install successfully but makepkg still fails with the same error message. Do I need to point pacman to the ruby-locale and ruby-gettext installations somehow?
    Last edited by seabeast (2012-05-07 04:30:38)

    makepkg uses pacman to check dependencies, and install them if they are available in the repos. pacman only knows about packages that it manages (obviously). gem-installed stuff will not be visible to pacman, so you will need to edit the PKGBUILD accordingly.
    More generally, sup seems to be a dead project - last release nearly a year and a half ago, AUR package orphaned, various not-working comments in the AUR. This may or may not matter to you.
    And more generally still - assuming you're an Arch newbie, based on the location of this thread and your post count, you should get into the habit of reading the wiki before asking here.

  • Windows 7 setup fails due to missing driver (HP Pav 500-417ng with Win 8.1)

    Hi,
    I have added a SSD to my hp pavilion 500-417NG and want to install Windows 7 64Bit incl. SP1 to the SSD.
    I'm using an USB stick to boot Win 7 setup.
    Setup is starting as usual, allows me to select language, keyboard etc. and to start install.
    Than it throws an error, stating a driver is missing and only provides options to search or retry.
    I have downloaded all HP Win 7 drivers and made them available in a folder which is accessible during setup, but driver will not be found.
    So I need to cancel setup.
    Any ideas?
    KR,
    Tarek
    This question was solved.

    Hi Jaco,
    already posting from my Windows 7 system ;-)
    Yes, it was just the EFI bootfile required, all the rest worked as usual.
    Actually, I have now a dual boot system, and both installation work great.
    Thx for supporting!
    Best,

  • Installation fails due to administrator privileges

    I cannot install Acrobat Pro for lack of administrator privileges but I am the administrator

    I can't find anything to mark this as solved. My son finally got back to me and found out that the Acrobat folders were marked read only. Once he corrected that it installed just fine.  Thank you for your effort on my behalf.

  • Installation Fails on Debian Stable 64 bit

    Hi There
    I have been trying to install skype for a while. The i386 architecture has already been enabled, and the repositories have been updated. I have repeated the process several times just to be sure.
    During skype installation a bunch of conflicts occur and aptitude can only install skype by uninstalling most of my system, at which point I have to abort the installation. I have tried many different packages, including Ubuntu packages, old packages, old static packages, tarballs. Nothing helps. Here is the output from the terminal:

    Hi
    Similar error with me: Installation fails due to the missing lib libqtwebkit4:i386 - it cannot been installed:
    root@.../skype-4.3.0.37# aptitude install libqtwebkit4:i386
    The following NEW packages will be installed:
      libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0:i386{a} libgstreamer0.10-0:i386{a} libqtwebkit4:i386 libsqlite3-0:i386{ab}
    0 packages upgraded, 4 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded.
    Need to get 9,138 kB of archives. After unpacking 32.7 MB will be used.
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     libsqlite3-0 : Breaks: libsqlite3-0:i386 (!= 3.7.17-1~bpo70+1) but 3.7.13-1+deb7u1 is to be installed.
     libsqlite3-0:i386 : Breaks: libsqlite3-0 (!= 3.7.13-1+deb7u1) but 3.7.17-1~bpo70+1 is installed.
    The following actions will resolve these dependencies:
    Keep the following packages at their current version:
    1)     libqtwebkit4:i386 [Not Installed]                  
    2)     libsqlite3-0:i386 [Not Installed]                 
    Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]
    If I would want to uninstall libsqlite3-0 and change to the i386-version (which would resolve the problem), I would uninstall most of my system...
    Skype/MS: Please provide solution, best would be, creating a proper 64Bit-package, so the whole i386-crap could be forgotten...
    If anybody has a solution, I would appreciate help, as - unfortunately - for some reasons I kind of depend on Skype
    Kind regards
