Tiger Disk Utility filled up target AND system disk, CANNOT reboot!

I used Apple Disk utility to securely erase free space on a target drive on my laptop. Disk Utility filled both my target disk and system disk (system disk was not even specified in the erase procedure). Both disks have ZERO bytes free. The System disk will NOT startup and I cannot use DiskWarrior to rebuild the directory cuz there is no space. Tried using terminal to rm temp files, but it did not see the system disk.
*Problem Path:*
1) Laptop (Leopard OS X current version) video stopped working. Likely known problem with Graphics card.
2) Connected G5 (Tiger) to Laptop via Firewire with Laptop working in Target Disk mode (data only mode).
3) Laptop disk showed up as a disk volume on G5.
4) Used Apple disk utility on Tiger G5 to securely erase FREE disk space on Laptop disk drive B4 taking it in to get repairs. Amount to be securely erased was appr 65 to 70 GB.
5) Left G5 Tiger disk utility to work overnight... had to interrupt next day. Restarted..
6) Next day, the G5 disk utility said that it would be an est. 97 hours to complete. Stopped process.
7) Both target disk and system disk showed that 0 bytes (yes, ZERO bytes free) were free on either drive.
8) Attempted to restart with literature saying that you can restart Disk Utility as though it would delete temp files and start again. System could not be found (folder/face/folder/face showed on the screen)
*Attempted Solution:* (DW ~ DiskWarrior 4)
1) Started system up using DW CD. System disk came up as unknown.
2) Used Disk Warrior to rebuild directory on disk, but I believe that there is NO space at all. Disk Warrior took a very long time...more than an hour.
3) Terminated DW (it was still verifying directory)
4) Restarted system from Tiger install.
5) Attempted to use Tiger Disk Utility to verify system disk (System still can see it, but won't mount it-- name is now disk1s3 or something like that). Disk Utility said that disk directory had problems and needed to be repaired. Ran the repair, but Disk Utility said that it could not be repaired.
6) Quit Disk Utility and entered into the terminal to see if I could access the disk through unix commands. Access volumes from root. Only the other disk on the system showed up, not the system disk. So attempt to delete temporary files that MAY have been created by Disk Utility could not be done.
7) Restarted system using DW. Drive showed up as Unknown. Clicked on [Apple key] rebuild to do scavenge function. Left it for two hours. Little to no change. Left it to work all night.
HELP!
Will DiskWarrior use other volume on system or memory to save off or rebuild directory of bad drive? Anyone know of a utility that can help?
ANY HELP you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. I have been put behind on research in my graduate studies and am in a terrible situation in now BOTH of my systems are inaccessible.

Hello HB3, and a warm welcome to the forums!
8) Attempted to restart with literature saying that you can restart Disk Utility as though it would delete temp files and start again. System could not be found (folder/face/folder/face showed on the screen)
You really shouldn't use a lower OSes DU to work on a higher one.
2) Used Disk Warrior to rebuild directory on disk, but I believe that there is NO space at all. Disk Warrior took a very long time...more than an hour.
What version of DW?
Anyone know of a utility that can help?
If DiskWarrior can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?%20mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover what you can, both can work when Disks are unmountable.

Permissions repair complete
Then i thought its might not be repair just by one repair.
After that i try repair again however this message still appear.
I ever try restarting and shutting down my MacBook but the message still appear.
I do some research and find that one of the message in the list can be safety ignore
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1448
Hence i just ignore the message.
Meanwhile i try to partition my hard disk and message shown;
Partition failed
Partition failed with the error:
Could not modify partition map because filesystem verification failed
I getting too frustrated about this problem.... ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
Any solutions are welcome. Thanks

You can find an extensive discussion of the permissions repair messages you can ignore at Topic: Permissions Snow Leopard 10.6.4. Nothing on your list of permissions messages is unusual or indicates an issue that needs correction.
However, the partition failed message indicates that you need to run Disk Utility's Repair Disk function on the disk volume. Note that if this is your normal startup volume, you will have to start up from some other disk, such as your installer disc, & run the Repair Disk step from it.
If Disk Utility is unable to repair the HD, you can try more powerful (& costly) utilities like Disk Warrior, but there are no guarantees that any of them will be able to fix all possible problems the HD may have.

What should I do? Thanks very much!

Exact same problem on 2011 MBA.
- Noticed message after Time Machine backup failed.
- Ran verify with the following results
- restarted with command+R then ran verify and repair in recovery mode with success (all fine)
- ran verify again, fails, again.

Why is Disk Utility "Permissions" only enabled on system drive?

Hi,
Shouldn't Disk Utility's "Verify Permissions" and "Fix Permissions" be enabled for all mounted volumes? Including disk images? Same with "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk".
I'm seeing them enabled only for the system drive.
Thank you,
Don

Shouldn't Disk Utility's "Verify Permissions" and "Fix Permissions" be enabled for all mounted volumes? Including disk images?
When Apple (and some third-party) software is installed, data is written in the Receipts folder incuding file permissions. Disk Utility uses this information to verify and repair permissions. There is no such information for other files or drives.
Same with "Verify Disk" and "Repair Disk".
They should work for other drives.
I'm seeing them enabled only for the system drive.
Are you using an administrator account?

I have an MacBook Pro 10.6, using disk utility I tried to verify my disk, but it came up with the message, please use your start up disk, I tried this, starting the computer up and pressing C, but it ejected the disk, the same thing happened while I running the computer. Is the hard drive damaged as laptop doesn't seem to recognize the start up disk ? If so, I presume I will have to put in a new one.
There haven't been any problems with the computer, apart from a sticky curser,I have run a permissions programme from disk utility, there were a lot of different ones, but it seem to be able to fix them.
Any comments or ideas ?
Thank you in anticipation.

First backup your users files off the machine to a external storage drive (not TimeMachine!)
Most commonly used backup methods
Next to startup from the disk, have it inserted, hold c or option/alt (wired or built in keyboard) and then boot the computer and or select the disk when it appears and click the arrow.
Disk Utility is under the Utilities menu on the second screen.
Step by Step to fix your Mac
If you used the wrong 10.6 disk, it will spit it out or have issues, use the one that came with that machine or if it's defective, call Apple for a new one.

How long should I let Safe Mode startup run? I keep getting the "disk0s2 i/o error" message and I'm just not sure when to give up and try a different method. I already ran disk utility in Recovery Mode and it said there were no repairs needed.

You have limited opportunity to attempt to create a backup of your created files.
That is what the SafeBoot or safemode appears to allow you -- at the moment.
Since the hard disk drive exhibits signs of failure or other major issues, plan
on a replacement in the near future. You may be able to get the computer to
start up in a regular full OS X (not safe mode) but consider its hours are limited.
An externally enclosed hard disk drive (with own power supply, not relying on
Mac ports to run it) is a good basic means of which to use a disk utility to make
a copy or a Clone of the current OS X. This may help retrieve an archive that
could be used along with a Time Machine backup, to restore your Mac once you
get a new hard drive installed inside.
Good luck & happy computing!

Disk Utility BUG SOLVED @@ COME AND READ @@.

On some of the older imac and mac books some of your may have problems using the restore tab in disk utility.
You are unable to drag the disk to the last slot.
I figured it out today.You don't have to install any third party software or use any terminal thingy.
Ok
So you launch disk utility and go to restore tab and you drag your dmg file or whatever on the first slot and you can't drag anything into the second one.I want you to drag it from the left hand side, On your desktop for example your usb thumbdrive is call MAC1 but dragging it from desktop to disk utility will not work.I want you to find MAC1 or whatever you use on disk utility on the left and drag it into the box.This will work.You can go on can try restore now@@@@.
If they say error 16 or something i want to you to unmount anything you have mounted and try restore again.it should work now.
If it doesn't work i can't help you
But anyway this works best with usb.So have fun

There is no bug. The instructions specifically say to drag the disk from the list to the left!

My external drive won't mount. Disk Utility says it can't repair disk and to backup the disk and reformat, but how can I do that if it won't mount?

Disk Utility has Lost Connection with the Disk Managment Tool

Hi,
For starters, this problem is not associated with the thread that Brian Z. has posted at the top of this forum. Having said that, here's my problem:
I had installed Security Update 2006-003, and Quicktime 7.1. Permissions were repaired before and after each installation, and all went well.
Some hours later, I was experimenting with Apple Remote Desktop. I had activated ARD in the System Preferences>Sharing pane, and it provided me an IP address associated with ARD. I then turned on Airport, and ARD provided me with an IP address associated with that connection. However when I turned off my modem connection, System Preferences>Sharing hung, and had to be Force Quit.
Console Log follows:
===== Mon May 15 2006 ===== 21:09:09 America/Anchorage =====
2006-05-15 21:09:17.488 System Preferences[2732] Can't open input server /Library/InputManagers/Menu Extra Enabler.bundle
2006-05-15 21:09:28.224 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:308

2006-05-15 21:09:48.415 System Preferences[2732] ### Error:268435460 File:FileSharing.m Line:343
Thinking a plist had become corrupted, I trashed the following:
com.apple.systempreferences.plist
com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
com.apple.Remotemanagement.plist
com.apple.sharing.firewall.plist.
System Preferences started out very slowly, but then all the panes except Sharing would work ok.
I booted from the install disk and performed a Disk Repair. There were no problems reported.
When I tried to run a Repair Permissions, after about 20 seconds I got the, "Disk Utility has lost connection with the disk management tool and can not continue. Please quit and relaunch Disk Utility."
I quit D.U. and the Installer, and was able to successfully run a Repair Permissions from the D.U. in my Utilities folder. It had no problems to report.
Continuting to troubleshoot the System Preferences problem, I then trashed the com.apple.preferencepanes.cache. This solved my System Preferences>Sharing problem.
However, I am still unable to perform a Repair Permissions after booting from my install disk (I get the subject message). Repairing permissions from the Disk Utility in my Utilies folder works fine.
Any thoughts out there on a logical way to troubleshoot where my problem is? Is there a way to get a console log when I'm running DU from the install disk, or a comparable source??
Thanks,
Bob

I found this crash log that was generated about the time I had problems with System Preferences hanging.
Thoughts?

External HD Disappeared on Finder and Disk Utility, but Still Appeared in System Report

I have two external HDs directly connected to the USB ports. One is working properfly. But the other one would disappear from the Finder and Disk Utility. However, it still shows up in the Hardware USB section of the Sysetm Report.
What does this mean? Thanks.

You are right. I need to select the device to show its details. The attached screenshots are from the good HD and bad HD. On the good HD, it shows more info.
Any explanation or suggestion? I contacted OWC and they are sending me a replacement. But how do I know it is a OWC HD issue or OS X 10.9.3 sleep issue?

When I run Disk Utility I guess this warning: "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

My computer seems to have been polluted by some virus os whatever, which the Antivirus software does not seem to find. It is turning off on it's own, without any apparent intervention, while iddle.
Then I read about this issue with Remote Management. IS there any connection here?
thanks

You do not need the Antivirus for your Mac.
The disk utility warning can be ignored.

Error during Tiger install, disk utility (DVD) says could not unmount disk

OK, I'll start at the beginning. I was running 10.3.9 on my iMac G4. I hooked up a new firewire external HD. Transferred my iTunes music over, everything worked fine. Ran software update to make some updates (iTunes, Quicktime, Security Update, maybe another one) that I had been putting off because I had been out of space. That's when the problems began. It said I could not install updates, so I restarted. Then it hung up at Login Window starting. I did a few hard shutdowns (holding down power button) to try again, but was unsuccessful.
Read all the forums. Decided that I should have repaired permissions, etc. before installing the updates. So I started in single-user mode, ran FSCK, all that stuff, following the instructions very closely. Still kept hanging up at Login Window. So I started up from the Panther install disk, repaired permissions (made a bunch of repairs) and checked hard drive (said no repairs necessary). Restarted, still hung up at Login Window starting.
So I did an archive and install. There were errors near the end of the Panther install, and it said it could not finish. But the computer started up OK, and I was able to back up all my personal data onto the external HD.
So I decided to upgrade to Tiger, thinking that would fix everything. During the upgrade, it said there were errors installing files and to try again. Did so, same result. The computer did start up in Tiger, but clearly was not operating at full capacity (slow, some things didn't work).
So I decided to erase and install. Again, said there were errors and to try again. Did so twice, same result. Started up from the Tiger DVD and ran Disk Utility. When I clicked Repair Hard Drive, it said "could not unmount drive."
So now I am stuck. I have a wiped hard drive. Can't repair it, and can't get Tiger to install properly. Help!
(i do have an Apple store in town, but I haven't gone to the Genius Bar. Wasn't sure how that worked.)
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hmmm. And you're sure that when you select the main
hard drive entry in Disk Utility it shows a SMART
status report that says "Not supported"? That's
really odd because your model isn't too old to have a
drive that doesn't support SMART.
Yep, looking at it right now. I've got the drive that says "38.2 GB ST3408..." selected, and it says "Not Supported."
By any chance would you have another external
Firewire drive on which you could install Tiger? If
you do, then you could try installing Tiger on that
drive. If you can then boot the iMac from the
external drive you could then try cloning the system
from the external drive to the internal drive.
I have the one external HD firewire drive. It has my backed up files on it. Could I still install Tiger on it without erasing those files?
You could do the same thing from another Mac if both
support Firewire. You could boot the iMac into Target Disk Mode while it's connected to
another Mac's Firewire port. You could then clone
from the other Mac to the iMac's hard drive that will
appear on the Desktop of the other Mac.
And I do have another Mac, which I am typing on right now. It's sitting right next to my "sick" iMac. If I recall correctly, it's an iMac DV special edition. It does have a firewire port and I think it has a DVD drive. It's running 9.0 currently.
You can use the Restore option of Disk Utility to do
the cloning. The process is as follows:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the source or startup volume from the left
side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the source or startup volume to the Source
entry field.
5. Select the destination or backup volume from the
leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry
field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this
step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the
Restore button.
So should I use the firewire external HD or the old iMac to do this? (Thanks so, so much for all this help, by the way. I really appreciate it. I love my iMac and want to save it! I have to go cook dinner right now, but I'll come back later to check your answer and try your suggestion.)

Disk utility's encrypted drives and user permissions

I've decided against using filevault based on some of the feedback and research I have conducted. I am still interested, however, in encryption of some documents. I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives. What is the best way to make it so that my user account has rwx permissions? I could manually do a chmod each time I mount the drive, but that seems silly. Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks,

Hi, iMacGyver.
A. You wrote: " I have used the Disk Utility to create a 128 bit encrypted .dmg image. I mount it using my user account, but only as r-x. I see that root has write permission, and so I assume it is safe to write to these drives."Were you logged in as root when you created the dmg? Or did you create a read-only image from a folder containing the documents?
To create a disk image to which you can add/remove documents and on which you will have Read/Write permissions:
1. Log in to your account.
2. Launch Disk Utility.
3. Select File > New > Blank Disk Image...
4. In the New Blank Image window, type a name for the new disk image in the Save As field, then select a location for saving the disk image, the desired Size, Encryption (select AES-128 in the pop-up menu), and leave Format as "read/write disk image."
5. Click Create.
6. Provide a password for the disk image when prompted. If you want extra security, de-select the option to save the password in your keychain, but be sure to never forget the password if elect to not save it in your Keychain.
You can then double-click the disk image you just created, type the password when prompted, the disk image will mount, and you can add files to it. Ejecting the disk image will unmount it and all the content you added will be encrypted.
One can use Disk Utility > File > New > Disk Image from Folder... to create either a Read Only or Read/Write encrypted disk image of an existing folder of documents, but if you elect to make it Read/Write there isn't much spare capacity for adding documents as the size of the disk image is based on the size of the folder.
Also, if your comfortable with Terminal, you can look into the hdiutil command for creating and managing disk images.
For example, if in step 4 above you selected the format as "sparse disk image", you'd later need to use the hdiutil command to compact the sparse image to recover disk space from files deleted from the spares disk image. Spare disk images are always Read/Write and only occupy as much hard drive space as the data they contain, e.g. a 100 MB sparse disk image containing 30 MB of files only uses 30 MB of hard disk space: they grow as files are added. A conventional R/W disk image of 100 MB in size takes up 100 MB of hard drive space even if it is empty.
However, when you delete files from a sparse disk image, the amount of hard disk space it occupies does not decrease until you compact it using the compact verb of hdiutil. Disk Utility does not expose all of hdiutil's functions.
B. You wrote: "Also I noticed that apple doesnt seem to mount drives using the same files as linux, so I'm a little confused. Could someone please provide some insight to this. "I don't understand what you mean. You'll need to be more specific.
C. You wrote: " Also, *put on tin foil hat* how secure is this? When I access the drive is it writing unencrypted data to the swap file? thanks"To use encrypted swap files, select "Use secure virtual memory" in System Preferences > Security. Depending on the applications you use, there may be a slight performance reduction with encrypted swap.
D. Your questions imply you're new to Mac. While you may be familiar with Linux, there are differences, especially in doing things through the GUI. If that's the case, my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more.
Good luck!

NEED HELP! Disk Utility mixed up HD and erased 2TB of data!

I just encountered a disaster thanks to disk utility and am asking for your help. PLEASEEEEEEE
Details: MacBook Pro using Lion OSX
Here is the short story. Like any semi-computer nerd, I have a lot of external harddrives for all my work. One was having issues and showed symptoms of a break down. So I backed-up everything on the drive and tried to reformat it. Half-way through, disk utility seemed to get stuck or something. The bar did not progress, and the estimated time to complete continued to go up. After about two hours, I needed to grab some files off another harddrive. No big deal. I left the harddrive being reformatted still plugged in, so the process would continue undisturbed. In the second USB port, I plugged in an expansion port with 2 other external harddrives connected to it. ...Within seconds, literally seconds, diskutility erased one of the new harddrives and renamed it. I'm not kidding. It happened so fast, I couldn't stop it. It worked faster then I've ever seen DiskUtility erase a drive…10…20 seconds max. I lost 2 terrabits of files. Information, files and personal documents that cannot be replaced. This is a huge disaster!
Is there anyway to fix this? Is the restore image feature in disk utility bring back files? Worst of all, there is no reasonable argument for why disk utility mixed it up. I never unplugged the drive it was reformating. I never touched the program or clicked anything. And how did it mix them up? You have to select the drive explicitly that you want to erase. One was a Western Digital HD and the other aSeagate, both with different names, models and serial numbers. Computers don't simply mix up drives. It's coded. Second, how could it erase the drive so fast? It never even mounted. By the time the new drive appeared, it was already erased and renamed.
This is huge. I cannot replace these files. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello HB3, and a warm welcome to the forums!
8) Attempted to restart with literature saying that you can restart Disk Utility as though it would delete temp files and start again. System could not be found (folder/face/folder/face showed on the screen)
You really shouldn't use a lower OSes DU to work on a higher one.
2) Used Disk Warrior to rebuild directory on disk, but I believe that there is NO space at all. Disk Warrior took a very long time...more than an hour.
What version of DW?
Anyone know of a utility that can help?
If DiskWarrior can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?%20mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover what you can, both can work when Disks are unmountable.

Tiger Disk Utility filled up target AND system disk, CANNOT reboot!
