Sparc station 20 boot problems/disk image problems

I downloaded the install image for solaris 8 off the sunsite and burned this using cdrecord.
I'm now experiencing strangeness when trying to boot with it.
I get a :
"short disk read
the file to boot may not be present?"
Any idea what this mean?
Cheers,
fiq

Your message is unclear if you are getting short read errors after installation of CD 1 of 2 . You cannot make the / partition greater than 2 gig because the OBP does not know how to boot one that large. Suggest you try 1.9 gig to be safe. In some cases, a really old OBP, like 2.6.0 will limit you to less than 1 gig for /. Other filesystems can be larger than 2 gig, just not the one you're booting from.

Booting from disk image of iMac, off external, w/ MacBook..am I the 1st ?

Hi there,
I'm currently between iMacs. Apple is graciously replacing my troubled early `06 / 20" Intel iMac ( which I FedEx'd out on 3/1/07 ) w/ a current model ( which is in the brink of shipping to me ). This one I've upgraded to 24 " / 750 GB on the HD.
In the meantime, The LaCie external that I've been cloning to for months is what I'm currently booting from w/ my Intel MacBook.
All 3rd party apps seem flawless, aside from slower processing of course.
But the Apple Tech I was just on w/ for 90 min. had not heard of this particular useage , and certainly couldn't troubleshoot possible results when i bring the user folder over to the new iMac.
Have been an uninformed dunderhead here ?, or as anyone else done the same. . . .similar even !?
_TIA_

Hi DmR of AtoZ,
the scenario of using the migration manager to transfer your data and applications from the external firewire drive to the new hard disk DOES work perfectly - I did it several times. However, it will only work if you have a bootable system on that external drive (which you do if I understood your previous posts).
The "drag&drop" approach does NOT work unless you move every single document. You CANNOT transfer a user folder by drag&drop (in fact you can but it is an extremely complicated procedure that involves lots of hacking in Terminal).

Can I boot up a Tiger Disk IMage HDD using my Macbook Pro (with Leopard)

Before my Ibook G4 crashed (tiger 10.4) I made a disk image using super duper. I purchased a Macbook Pro (leopard) and when I tried booting the disk Image I had made using superduper on a smart disk firewire drive, it would not recognize it.
I held the option key when booting but only the Mac drive on the Macbook pro showed up. Is that a bug/flaw with leopard that you can't even boot an external HD disk image made using Tiger?
I know the disk image is good because it boots on my G5 which has tiger installed.
Thanks for a reply..

Allan Eckert and BCC99,
Thanks for the responses. I REALLY appreciate it becuase I usually spend a lot of time spinning my wheels trying to make something work that doesn't.
The reason I wanted to boot it was that my old IBOOK crashed and I wanted to boot up the old "clone" (not disk image - my poor choice of words) so that I could view some of my older emails that contained information that I wanted to view. I know I could do it on my G5 but I wasn't home and wanted to try my new Macbook.....
Thanks again...

Disk Imaging problem

We're using a PXI-8185 for an autonomous experiment. We would like
to make a backup image of the disk with Norton Ghost so that if the disk
crashes, we can get a duplicate disk running quickly. I've done this
previously with the old Power Quest Disk Image program. (Which Symantec
bought and discard, eliminating their competition. Ya gotta love Symantec.)
Anyway, I've made a ghost image of a test computer using a spare
disk for the 8185, and that boots fine on the test computer. Hence
Ghost and the disk both seem to work. But when I make an image of the
8185, it won't boot. After the bios screen, it just hangs on a blank
screen. I'm guessing that NI uses some kind of disk imaging technology
to preload the 8185's, so is it possible
that that program is
incompatible with Ghost? (Ghost writes hidden ID codes to the disk, so
there could well be program-specific subtleties.)
So, the big question: has anyone made a backup image of an 8185 and
sucessfully restored and used it? Any suggestions on what might be
going wrong?
Thanks for any help. I know this is a bit distant from LabVIEW, but
this group certainly has a lot of experience with PXI hardware, etc.

Dave

There are 10 kinds of people: those who understand binary,
and those who don't.

from what you put that they did to your machine they replaced the hdd and used the recovery media to reimage the drive back to factory. hdd and other hardware failures either happen very early or very late in their lives. so it is not uncommon to have a hdd that fails right out of the gate but it is much more common for them to fail later. as for getting your old hdd back i wouldnt count on it. it has probably already been sent away to be recycled.
you may not have had any problems at all with the hdd but from what you wrote that toshiba said it had multiple bad sectors. if these bad sectors are too big they will just replace it since those parts of the disc cant be used.

My Mac Pro 1,1 won't boot, problems with disk.

I am having problems booting my 2006 Mac Pro 1,1. I was using my computer just fine and then I shut the computer down. When I tried to restart it the computer booted the the Apple logo and the status whell began turning, and then a progress bar appears under that and begins to load. It loads about 1/10 of the way, dissappears and then the computer shuts off.
I booted the computer using Command + R and attempted to reinstall OSX Lion, but it would not allow me to select a drive to install too. They are all grayed out. From here I went into Disk Utility and attempted to Verify Disk Permissions. A laundry list of errors immediatly came up. Next step was the verify the disk, at which point the message read that the disk seamed to be corrupted and needed to be repaired. I tried to repair the disk but was then told that the disk couldn't be repaired, to recover any data and reformat the drive.
The problem with this is that I have not backed anything up (yes I know I am a TARD) but this is my situation and I need some help. At this point I would just like to recover the info that's on this disk, and without a computer to do this I'm not sure how to do this. At this moment I am attempting to make a disk image of the corrupted drive in hopes that this will allow me to restore it later.
Please somebody help. I bought this computer with a lot of pre-installed programs, (i.e Adobe Creative Suite, Final Cut Studio, etc.) not to mention all of my other files.

I have an external drive that I used to keep files backup up on, again I'm a TARD, and no longer do. I've been messing around with the Recovery option when I boot and during this venture saw my main HD unmount and just would not do anything. After trying a few things I reset the system again and when I got back to recovery noticed that the drive had mounted again. I am now using disk utility to copy the entire contents of this main HD to the external drive. Est. time remaining is 12 hours. I did have the external filled up with some stuff but nothing I wasn't willing to trade for all of my applications (that came pre-installled when I bought the machine) and other files. I've read that even doing this isn't a fail proof way to solve the problem as their are still corrupted files, but Disk Utility said that my drive couldn't be repaired and to backup what I could and format the drive. I am hoping that backing up everything to this external drive will give me at least some oportunity to recover my apps, files etc. It also said that if disk utility couldn't fix the drive to boot from the CD and try it that way. Unfortunatly I downloaded Lion and don't have one. I just bought this HD about 2 years ago. Is a Seagate and I haven't had any problems from it. When my computer stopped working I had just been using it and just reset the computer. I am definitly going to get another drive but what are your thoughts on my ability to recover everything? I've heard there are some programs that can handle it.

Time Machine Problems - Won't Launch Automatically, Won't Mount Disk Image

Hi there,
I have a MacBook Pro (Mid 2009) running OSX Mavericks 10.9.2. I've had Time Machine running successfully with a 2TB Time Capsule for some time. Recently, I reinstalled Parallels VM software and have been having issues with Time Machine ever since. Initially, I had TM backing up the Virtual Machine, but decided that wasn't a great way to go, so turned it off in the VM configurations pane.
Since then, however, I have been unable to successfully back up my MacBook. I notice a few things:
The Time Machine drive does not mount as it used to. It does not show up on my desktop.
When I go into Time Machine Preferences, the drive does not show the usual green disk icon. The icon is blue and has the stick-figure people on it.
I can remove the blue disk drive, and re-select the drive. It stays green for about 30 seconds, then converts to the blue icon.
I get a number of plist errors in the Time Machine dashboard app. Here's the latest feed:
Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
Property list invalid for format: 200 (property lists cannot contain NULL)
Starting manual backup
Network destination already mounted at: /Volumes/Sean's Time Capsule
Disk image /Volumes/Sean's Time Capsule/Sean's MacBook.sparsebundle mounted at: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups
Backing up to /dev/disk2s2: /Volumes/Time Machine Backups/Backups.backupdb
Backup canceled.
At this point, I'm a bit stumped. I've tried deleting the old sparsebundle, I've reset the Time Capsule, and I've come up with no ideas as to how I can get this woring again. It seems like the property list needs 'something' but can't find the old file or the property list is corrupt or something. I'm assuming that is why the Time Machine disk image won't mount?
Thanks for your help - suggestions are welcome!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to collect information about the state of the computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
☞ Paste into the window of another application.
☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
8. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "syntax error," enter
exec bash
and press return. Then paste the script again.
9. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
10. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
[Process completed]
to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report the results. No harm will be done.
11. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with "Model Identifier." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
12. When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." It means that the forum software has misidentified something in the post as a violation of the rules. If that happens, please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

Problems unmounting/ejecting a disk image after upgrade to 10.4.9

Since I upgraded to 10.4.9 I have the following problem:
After viewing a slideshow of pictures located in a disk image I cannot unmount/eject this image. I receive an error message that the image cannot be deactivated/ejected as some file is still in use.
Using the activity monitor I checked which files are in use by the Finder and found out that the last picture shown by slideshow is still referenced.
To me it seems as if the upgrade from 10.4.8 to 10.4.9 either changed the behaviour of slideshow (which does not close all files when terminated) or the eject image function (which does not force all open files in the image being closed).
The only bypasses I found so far are
- using "umount -f" on Unix level (think I have to be an admin for that)
or
- logging off and on again / restarting the computer
Has anybody got other ideas how to force the unmount without using native UNIX commands in a terminal window?
Can someone tell me how I can report this bug to apple? On Apple's support pages I could not find any information on that.
Thanks in advance for any helpful hints.

The "Dock" contextual menu item to "Relaunch" the "Finder" is the equivalent of a "Force Quit", which is quite different from a regular "Quit".
Unless it is being unresponsive to a normal "Quit" signal, force quitting any application is not recommended because unsaved changes will be lost. In the case of the "Finder", any sort of file transfers in progress will be interrupted. Data loss may also occur if a file containing "comments" has been moved at some point earlier in the login session.
A normal "Quit", such as what occurs when logging out, quitting through the menu, using AppleScript or the "Quit" option of "Activity Monitor.app" ensures that the app quits in an orderly manner.

Problems creating a disk image on an external hard drive

Hiya,
I've been trying to create a disk image on my dad's external hard drive to hold my back-ups all day with no luck. I've managed small ones, e.g. a few MB, but when trying to create images 20 or 40 GB in size (which is what I need), it isn't working.
When I've tried creating them in Disk Utility with the place to save them to as the external HD, it says "Unable to create... Illegal seek" which doesn't explain much to me! I have been successful in creating a large disk image on my own HD, but when I try to move it to the external HD, it says "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (Error code -1309)."
Extra info:
- I am saving my back-ups in a disk image, as they must be password protected, so that's why I'm not just copying them over.
- There's plenty of space avaliable on the external HD, so it would seem that isn't the problem.
- The HD is a Freecom Classic SL, connected via USB cable.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks alot,
Charity

Hi, I have backed up 2 IMACs and one Mac Book Pro but for some reason, the 3rd IMAC come up with this problem: The backup disk image “/Volumes/Data/Anthony’s iMac.sparsebundle” could not be accessed (error -1). Why? The computer system is up to date and I have had no issue with the other computers, just this one.
Many thanks

Another OS 10.4.11 update problem - disk images won't mount?

Hi people,
Have never had to post on these boards as i've never suffered serious problems with my mac, until today.
Whilst installing/updating my powerbook to version 10.4.11 my mac seemed to crash so i rebooted my system. Probably not the best thing to do (i have little patience so was annoyed).
I'm guessing the update installed as my mac says it is now version 10.4.11 but when i go to mount any disk images it will not mount at all, but instead comes up with this message -
"The following disk image failed to mount
Reason - error 0xe00002c9"
I've verified and repaired the permissions on the startup drive in disk utility, and also verified the volumed and it says everything is ok in those departments. Although the option to repair the disk is not available for selection.
I've downloaded applejack, but obviously can't mount the image file.
Please help as this is a big problem with regards to my work and play!
Thanks for reading.

Hmm thank you for your time and effort on this problem BDAqua but unfortunately it still doesn't want to work! The 'DMG utility' program comes back with an error when trying to mount any of the disk images i have tried. I have been able to get up the script of what its doing in the 'console' application but that is ridiculously long, and i'd be lying if i said i have a single clue about what any of the script in it means!
So i'm guessing i'm gunna be archiving and re-installing. But this boads another question as i haven't a slightest clue about how to archive my files as i really don't want to lose any of it.
sorry BDAqua

Netra T1 booting problems, works only if I "boot disk"

I'm having a problem booting my Netra T1 AC200. When I issue the "poweron" command from the LOM or when I issue the "reset" command from the ok prompt, the system fails to boot, gives me an error, and drops back to the ok prompt. However, if I type "boot disk" at the ok prompt, the system will boot just fine. I have tried playing with setenv, but eventually returned all of those values to their defaults. I have a fresh install of Solaris 9.
The error message and the output of printenv are below.
Thank you in advance!!

Problems with the CS6 Master Collection disk image (invalid checksum)

I have problems downloading the trial for CS6 Master Collection for MacOS X.
I've tried downloading using the Download Assistant, both as a privileged and an unprivileged user, and have also tried the direct download as both privileged and unprivileged. Each time I've waited until the download was complete before trying to install, but every time the disk image fails to open, complaining of an "invalid checksum".
I've tried mounting the disk image without validating the checksum, but while I can then run the installer, the installation fails due to lack of privileges – again, this is regardsless of user privileges. I've also tried deleting the preferences and cache-files for Download Assistant, but to no avail.
Can anyone confirm that the english version of the CS6 Master Collecion disk image is working and can be mounted without error on MacOS X 10.7? I have now downloaded and re-downloaded the disk image at least eight times, and while I have a fast Internet-connection, this is getting tedious.

I just downloaded the DMG from Adobe.com using the trial and it mounts fine. I was able to start the installation.
I did not get a checksum error or any other error.
However, I found these instructions in another thread:http://forums.adobe.com/message/4370247#4370247

If the download is completed in the Adobe Download Assistant you can temporarily turn off the feature to verify the checksum. The following steps will allow you to temporarily disable this feature:
Open the Disk Utility located in Applications/Utilities
Go under the Disk Utility menu and select preferences
Deselect the option to verify checksums
Try mounting your DMG file
I would recommend turning this feature back on though after the installation is complete. Also if you notice this happening on additional files it can indicate a problem with your Internet connection.

Could you try these steps and let us know if you were able to proceed.

Problems with Disk Utility backup & restore via DMG disk images

I attempted to backup and restore a 2TB external raid storage device using the recommended Disk Utility procedure for 10.6.6. One of the HDDs in the raid enclosure had started to fail.
First step was to create a new image from the 2TB device. I accepted the defaults of compressed image format and no encryption. The image took about 15 hours to create, and when complete, I was left with 2 files:
OWC2TB.dmg (1.1TB)
OWC2TB.002.dmgpart (486GB).
To check the DMG I ran the Disk Utility "Verify Disk" on the DMG, and got the message "The volume OWC2TB appears to be OK". The DMG is described in DU as:
Description: Apple UDIF read-only compressed (zlib)
Connection Bus: Disk Image
Total Capacity: 2 TB
Disk Write Status: Read Only
Partition Map Scheme: No partition map
I then replaced the failing HDD in the enclosure, recreated a new 2TB filesystem on the device, and attempted to restore from the DMG image.
The first attempt was to use Disk Utility "Restore" function. I specified the DMG as the source and the new device as the destination, and chose "Erase Destination". This failed immediately with the error "Restore failure. Could not find any scan information. The source images needs to be imagescanned before it can be restored".
After researching this error I tried to correct it by selecting the DMG in Disk Utility and running Images => Scan Image for Restore. This failed immediately, complaining there was insufficient disk space. More research revealed it needed the same amount of spare space on the same disk to do an imagescan. So I had to free up an EXTRA 1.5TB of space in addition to the space the DMG consumed. Not very user friendly.
The next attempt to imagescan the DMG got further than the "insufficient space" error. It displayed "Scanning image OWC2TB.dmg, Block Checksum Partition #1". This ran for about 10 hours. At the end, it displayed a new error message "Unable to scan OWC2TB.dmg (internal error)".
Next I tried to mount the DMG and copy the files manually. My first attempt at this resulted in a "Verifying..." phase which looked like it will take about 10 hours, so I clicked "Skip". Soon after I got an error message "Unable to attach OWC2TB.dmg (no mountable file systems).". Now I am trying a mount with the Verify option...
Can anyone suggest what I can try next to restore the DMG?
I think the problem might be the fact the DMG is split in two parts, but the imagescan/restore software does not know how to read the second part? Is there a way to join these into a single DMG?

Problem making disk image of Panther install cds...

Hi everyone!
I want to make a disk image of my Panther retail install cds...just to have a backup in case I lose my cds or something. The problem is on disk 2 I keep getting an input/output error using Disk Utility. I tried to use SuperDuper and I got the same and the log shows this:

Funny thing is I had problems installing my Panther recently and I had to disable the German package because of errors during install. Does this make sense at all and can anyone help me to make a disk image of my Panther cds?
Thanks in advance,

Hi eww!
Yes that might be possible? That's one of the reasons I wanted to make a disk image in case my cds would be damaged or something. It makes sense what you say because as I mentioned when I did my install I had a hang up with the German pkg and I just skipped over it...good thing I'm not German huh?
If I clean it up and everything and it's still the same problem what are my options? I don't see a way to de-select this package when making the disk image?
Thanks again,
Reg

Fix to the problem-- Back up Disk Image could not be mounted

In order for TC to backup your entire HD it needs to create a Disk Image on your Mac. For example you would have seen your computer do this operation if you ever installed programs on your Mac computer.
I actually had this same problem and I searched the forum for answers. One fix that I found was that your computer might actually not be named. To fix this click on the apple in the upper left hand corner and then go to >System Preferences. Then click on >Sharing, after you do that you will see Computer name at the top. Type in whatever name you like for that part and then also turn on file sharing by clicking the box next to it below.
The other fix to this problem...which was actually the solution to mine, was that during setup 2 files for a Disk Image mount were created onto the Time Capsule itself. It is only supposed to have one. *In order to fix this problem-->If your Time Capsule is setup so it allows file sharing you should be able to see it as a connectable disk drive in your Finder window under sharing. Click on Time Capsule from there and enter in you password. You should now be able to search though the files on it. Since this is your first time setting it up there should only be one file visible on the Drive and that one file is what creates the mounted Disk Drive...(What I found on my Time Capsule drive was a file labeled with a bunch of numbers and then a Shared folder and then another file with a bunch of numbers in that). For me it actually turned out that the first file was not working properly but the one in the shared folder was. So I deleted the first file and dragged the second file that was working out of the shared folder and into the main part of the Time capsule Disk and then deleted the shared folder.
The way you can tell which file is the correct one is by double clicking it, if you get an error message right away, delete it. If it starts to load, then that is the file you should keep. After I did this mine worked fine and backed up my disk last night. I hope this helps

I have had the time capsule since it first shipped. In that time I've TWICE suffered a corrupt backup disk image (which I checked by trying to hand mount it by selecting the TC under sharing, and trying to open the sparse image - each time it failed and reported an unfixable error). Each time this occurred after the machine had been working flawlessly for 3 or 4 weeks. This makes the machine completely useless in respect of Time Machine. The disk seems to check out as I've just zero'd all data and it did not report a fault, and I have now reset the capsule (using the hole at the back) hoping that perhaps I can give it one last shot. It seems to me that basing these backups on a diskimage is a bad idea because in principle you could lose a single bit and the diskimage will not mount (unless there's redundancy in whatever header information etc. it uses) and then you lose ALL your files. I would have thought that backing up as individual files would be more robust to occasional corruption. Anyhow, this is all very disappointing, and I've been in touch with an Apple rep I deal with to seek advice. Apple need to fix this. I don't know if it's a problem with Time Capsule, or Time Machine.
