Unable to repair HDD
I inserted the installation disc pressed restart and as the gong went I held C down until the apple log appeared in the middle.All that happened was the installation procedure came up and i had to press restart and keep the mouse pressed until the disk was ejected.Could someone advise me please?
Thanks
Steps for using Disk Utility
(Be sure you have a good backup, or create one now)
1. Insert your Mac OS X Install DVD, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
6. Click Repair.
If you repair errors run it until no errors found.

I have been trying to use time machine on a new lacie 2tb usb 2 drive for back up. I continue to get: "unable to complete backup.An error occured while creating backup folder". When I use disk utility to repair I get another error message: unable to repair disk unmountable.
Help me Obie One Canobie you are my last hopeI have confused myself with the facts! Started out keeping track of every step and every variable but have sort of lost it as we progress here. First I quit all applications then swapped connections between mouse port and backup disk port to influence possible bad connections question. Changed power outlet receptacle for the backup disk. Disabled the put-the-HD-to-sleep option. Then powered down the computerator.
Next started up computerator. Turned Time Machine ON and experienced multiple successful backups! Then I started up a few applications, Mail and Text Edit (but not Safari so far). Had a few more successes. After each backup, I used Disk Utility to verify the backup disk is still OK. This because the error about unable to unmount the backup disk seems to go hand in hand with Disk Utility finding the backup disk to be bad.
Put computer to sleep for the night. Upon starting up in the morning, and before doing anything else, I did a backup disk verification... BAD! Did a restart and verified the backup disk... OK.
Did a few Sleep-bad, Restart -OK repetitions.
It seems consistent: Sleeping the computer apparently messes up the backup disk but doing a Restart "repairs" it.
=============================
Now then, I don't understand everything I know here. Methinks that maybe keeping the HD from sleeping during lulls in activity has allowed successful backups through the day but manually putting everything to sleep for the night causes a return to the problem of spinning-back-up-too-slowly (which was explained earlier). Is there any truth in this?
I may abandon this Seagate thing for something more compatible. What's out there that we know works reliably for us? -
Disk Utility unable to repair disk
My IMAC started to freeze up for a couple of minutes while running Word for Mac 2004 and Entourage. Microsoft tech support suggested running rebuild database for Entourage. Rebuild database did not execute citing I/O problem. Ran Disk Utility from Install Disk and it was unable to repair one volume after repeated attempts. Also tried ckfs but that found no errors. Some posts recommend Disk Warrior or other recovery software. Any suggestions before the trip to the Genius Bar?
Disk Warrior repaired the disk on its first pass. Disk Utility confirmed the repair. No symptoms any more in Word for MAC and Entourage 2004. Still could not rebuild database. Will back up to be safe.

Unable to repair degraded Virtual disks in Storage Spaces under Hyper-V 2012 R2 Core
Hi all,
I am finding myself in the following conundrum. I have a storage pool under Hyper-V Core, with 2 2TB Seagate drives.
One of the drives completely died (wouldn't spin up, tried it in a different box, still to no avail). I sent it in to Seagate for warranty replacement, got the new drive. Installed it and went through the notions of adding it to the pool and retiring the
one that was with "Lost Communication" status.
Tried to repair the virtual disks that are showing as "Unhealthy-Detached", quickly get 100% complete, but the repair didnt work.
The storage pool is in degraded state.
Looks like metadata is corrupted.
Followed this post to upgrade Storage Spaces to latest version:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/en-US/eead59e9-5e49-4bb6-8cbb-1dafddd9576b/unable-to-repair-degraded-virtual-disks-in-storage-spaces-2012r2?forum=winserverfiles
Still, to no avail.
Couple of questions:
1) Is the data on the 3 virtual disks in state "Unhealthy: Detached" not recoverable?
2) How can I get the storage pool back to "healthy"?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Unable to 'Repair Disk' due to Error message
Routine check on the state of my HHD using Disk Utility - Permissions chks all ran fine and good, but not completing the Verify Disk process. The log file (below) was generated:
_Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”_
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
*Incorrect number of Extended Attributes*

Checking volume information.
*The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.*
*Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit*
1 HFS volume checked
*Volume needs repair*
unable to Repair Disk unless the full Verify Disk process has finished, is there an easy fix option, or does it signify a bigger problem?Were you booted up from your install disk when you ran Disk Utility? If not, you'll need to try that and see if the disk can be repaired. If it can't, and you don't have a recent clone that is not damaged to replace the contents of the startup disk with, then Disk Warrior is the best option.

For a few months now, whenever I run "Verify Disk" on Disk Utility, it's given me a message saying something about BitMap having problems, and telling me to run Repair. Unfortunately, when I run repair, it tell me it is unable to repair the disk.
Just recently, I also got this message after "Verify Disk" not only turned up bad results, but it couldn't finish verifying.

First of all, what can I do about this? Secondly, I don't have the money to buy Disk Warrior or similar software. I'm also totally fine with re-installing the OS as long as it will totally solve the problem, and I have a foolproof way of backing absolutely everything (this includes emails) up.
Thoughts? I really need help.Disk Utility cannot repair the drive that booted the computer. Grab your OS installation disc or your system restore disc and boot up with it. After you get to the screen where you choose your language, go up to the menu bar and find the option to run Disk Utility. Now you can repair the drive because you didn't start up with it.

I install sunCluster 3.1 Update 4 on solaris 8 :
V440 + v440 + v240 (2+1 architector, that meend that the therd node is the standBy and he atached to all disks). + 2* D1000 storageas that was splited.
I install the cluster OK, but after I check with scstat that all is OK and also the qourum is configured OK,
then I scshutdown the cluster and the the nodes came up but they stop due to message
"fsck: could not stat s5: No such file or directory - error."
there is the output on one node :

somebody knows why it's happand?
thanksI install all from the begining, and it's happand again !!!
I belive it's connect to the messages that apperd on each node after the first boot for the scinstall finished.
on each node this message shows :

Downloading mountain lion damaged my hard disc. I took my Mac Pro to apple store. They are unable to repair it and suggest I purchase a new hard disc for $160. It was a perfectly functioning Mac Pro that got damaged by downloading mountain lion.
Software upgrades do not generally damage hardware; your drive's failure must be co-incidental. On most MBP's, a hard drive is very easily replaced by a user. You might want to check out this site for both hard drives as well as install videos (check which model you have so you can check the correct video):
http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/
hard drives:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/internal_storage/hard_drives_and_SSD
I just recently upgraded my MBP with an SSD; I purchased an kit with an external enclosure from OWC and cloned the current drive to the new one, installed the new drive and was done in no time. -
"Certified Repaired HDD" on a new desktop--What an insult!
I just removed the HD from an HP desktop where it recently went bad. Much to my surprise, this Seagate HD is marked "Certified Repaired HDD". I bought the PC brand new and HP installed a refurbished Hard Drive???? What an insult. If this isn't crooked, I don;t know what is. Thanks for confirming my switch to an Apple was the correct one. Couple this with its horrendous technical support, and I should not be surprised.
Kenteman, welcome to the forum.
I can't see how this is dishonest. It was well marked and it would be covered with the same warranty as a new hard drive. Therefore, if the computer is still under warranty, you can get the hard driver replaced.

Upgrade and Install fails after first boot. Then I am unable to repair
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this?
I've experienced the aqua screen of death with the Upgrade option and was unable to resolve it, even after trying the APE removing technique.
So, I decided to restore back to Tiger 10.4.10 (thanks to Super Dupering prior to upgrade) and try the archive and install option. All appeared to go well, installed fine, allowed me to login and run all my apps. But, upon doing my first reboot after the 'sucessful' install the system just hangs at the gray screen. I tried using Disk Utility from the Leopard DVD, but it's unable to repair permissions.
I got this error message: 'The underlying task reported failure on exit'. Tried many times, I also tried the /sbin/fsck -fy in single user mode.
I tried booting into DiskWarrior 4's. Once in DW4 I ran the Repair function there... Here I got another error message.
This error being: 'Error -9997'.
OK I thought, something random must have happened. Soooo I restored to Tiger again and ran the Archive and Install option once again.
I'm am again experiencing the exact same problems with freezing gray boot screen and the inability to repair permissions (all after doing my first boot after sucessful install and login/opening of many apps)
Please please please can anyone she some light on this problem???
I'm going to try one more option:
Upgrade after I've disable all startup options and removing anything to do with APE....
I will report back!
This is really really crap Apple, I can't believe I've spent £85 and probably 15 hours on this sloppy release. Utterly disapointedJust me it seems then....
Right, I think it's finally resolved, only after the fifth time. I've now rebooted twice and so far so good.
There was a new message when I powered down for the first time, something along the lines of:
Please wait while your Boot Caches are updated.
This seems to be a reasuring message, I feel almost confident in restarting again.
I upgraded using the following method:
1. Disabled ALL startup items (System Preferences>Accounts>Login items)
2. Removed all traces of APE (Application Enhancer) using Finder:
/Library/Preference Panes/Application Enhancer.prefpane
/Library/Frameworks/Application Enhancer.framework
/System/Library/SystemConfiguration/Application Enhancer.bundle
/Library/Preferences/com.unsanity.ape.plist
3. Repaired Permissions
Right, before I perform a new backup I think I'll see how she runs for a week, so I'm sure the boot problem is definitely gone. -
Temporarily unable to repair corrupt catalog
i'm running the current version of lightroom. it is giving me a dialog box that says:
temporarily unable to repair corrupt catalog
lightroom encountered problems reading or writing from disk when attempting to repair catalog
the operation may succeed in future attemps
if you wish to try again, please first check available disk space and close all other applications
each time i try, the same dialog box appears.
the corrupt catalog is located on a 1tb drive, 554gb used / 357gb free
what can i do to fix this?I presume you don't have a recent-enough catalog backup (?)
I bet you won't let that happen again..
Anyway, depending on what's wrong with the catalog, you may be able to recover develop settings (only) via a plugin called WreckHover (free, by me).
In addition to catalog, settings may be stored in:
* xmp if you've saved metadata (if not, I bet you won't let that happen again either) - recovered when importing new photos, or reading metadata (Library menu) of already-imported photos.
* exported versions (if exported with all metadata) - you can recover settings from those via the same plugin: WreckHover.
Note: you'll need to restore a backup catalog first, or start a new one if no backups (really?).
Good luck,

Disk utility unable to repair disk. What next?
Disk utility unable to repair disk. What next?
I encountered the same problem. After verify disk, I got the message to repair the disk. But it was unable to complete the repair. Rather than purchase Disk Warrior, I tried something else.
What I did was reinstall the OSX (this iMac is still on Leopard). I backed up everything, naturally, before doing the reinstall. I chose the "Archive and Install" option, along with "Preserve Users and Network Settings". This method moves existing files to a folder named "Previous System" and imports existing user accounts, network settings, and home folders into the new OSX.
After the successful reinstall, I ran Disk Utility. It checked AND repaired Permissions. It verified that the disk was fine and no longer needed repair.
If this didn't work, my plan "B" was to reinstall the OSX again, this time with the "Erase and Install" option. Fortunately, I didn't have to go to plan "B". -
