USB key unreadable / damaged after formatting with Disk Utility

Hello,
in the previous hours, I have been trying to copy a 5.2-GB file on a FAT32-formatted 8.0-GB USB key. This is impossible, because FAT32 cannot hold files larger than 4 GB.
I formatted the disk using Disk Utility and selected "Compressed NTFS filesystem". However, this was not a good idea: Windows XP (that's the "adressee" OS, i.e. the OS where I was trying to copy the 5.2-GB file) didn't recognize the USB key, asking if I wanted to re-format it.
Useless to say, re-formatting didn't solve the issue.
Any ideas?

Formatting with Disk utility

I want to format an external FW HD so it can be read on a Mac AND PC, how do I do this with Disk Utility.
Thanks in advance.

In the Disk Utility, choose the MS-DOS option when formatting the drive; this will create a FAT32 drive, which can be read and written in both Mac OS X and Windows.

Unable to find HDD after erase with disk utility

Background id I had installed the Lion OS but then got into trouble with the "flashing question mark " at start up.
After using the recovery option, Lion OS was reinstalled and things were fine for a couple of days. Then the "flashing ?" returned
This time, it appeared the "Cmd R" did not work. So I browsed until I found out it is possible in the reinstallation, the recovery option was removed.
Ok, so then one of the discussion threads suggested to use the installer disc to boot up, use the disk utility to erase the HDD and install in my case Snow Leopard, and thereafter install the Lion OS.
I am stuck after clicking "erase". First there was an error message - "file system formatter failed' then I no longer can see the HDD in the disk utility.
How can complete the HDD erase function so I can proceed to install the OS?

A check in the system profiler - "There was an error while scanning for Serial ATA devices"
Looks like my iMac's HDD is kaput...Or is there a way to fix this?

HT204347 Unable to Re-install mountain Lion after erasing with disk utility! help

I bought my new Macbook pro retina disply 13 inch last friday. played with it some time and try to restore using a time machine back up of my old Mac Air. It worked well but I didn't like it so I restarted and pressed Command + R to bring the restore utility and from there I used the Disk utility to erase my Disk and then after connecting to net I clicked reinstall Lion. First my machine was verified by Apple, then I entered my apple ID, then the mountain lion licence agreement came and i clicked agree and it started installing. Immediatley below the installation bar it showed 50 hrs remaining to finish installation. it was odd because I used to finish it within 2 hrs. Moreover the time appeared to increase from 50 to 51 and more. I waited all day without any use. it looked as if the disk has some write protection, the software is trying to install but unable to write.
What can i do now? I am now without a OS in my mac.

A new Mac comes with 90 days of free tech support from AppleCare from the date of purchase.
AppleCare: 1-800-275-2273.
Have the serial number of the computer ready in hand and give AppleCare a call.

Flash Drive will not format with Disk Utility

I am in need of help. I have looked through a ton of forums looking for the answer to this but can't find anything. I have a flash drive that I was using and while I was transfering a large file the drive unmounted and now it is showing "Read only". In the Disk Utility, the Erase and Repair are grayed out. When I verify the drive it says this:
Checking file system** /dev/disk1
** Phase 1 - Preparing FAT
** Phase 2 - Checking Directories
/CJB/myfolder/_Reference/AA45608_737_Livery_7b_RtRear_d_RGB.tif has too many clusters allocated (logical=1235222528, physical=1719664640)

Fix? no
424 files, 11035456 KiB free (1379432 clusters)
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Click Repair Disk.
I have also tried:
diskutil repairVolume CHAD
I have located the drive in terminal and this is what it says:
drwxrwxrwx@ 1 BDesign staff 8192 Dec 31 1979 CHAD
When I show information in Disk Utility it shows Writable No. Can anyone help me. I don't need the info on my Flash Drive. I just want to format it and get it working again.
Thanks

Some flash drives have a failure mode in which they are irreversibly write-locked by the internal controller when it detects a write error. If the drive doesn't have a write-lock switch (most do not) and you can't erase it in Disk Utility, that's almost certainly what has happened. To be sure, test it with another computer, if possible.

DMG file after partitioning with Disk Utility

For the first time that I know of a file appeared after I partitioned a new external hard drive.
The file is listed in Disk Utility under the grey line
decryptedFile.dmg
Flash Player
It says it is located on the boot drive at:
/private/var/folders/dZ/(long string of alpha numeric)
(Note: Tried to post a screen shot here but I failed that task.)
The file must be an invisible file or my bifocals are cloudy because I did not find same.
Appreciate any info on what and why of this file. Attaching a screen shot.
Thank you

I don't recall ever working on Flash Player but I'll take your word.
Thanks for the help. I'll delete and forget.
BTW, are they invisibles?
Thanks,

Mac-formatted external HD only access with Disk Utility

Hello!
I read a lot about problems with Mavericks and WD harddrives. But i did not found anything about my problem:
- bought a new HD and formatted with Disk Utility
- copied all important data to it, all fine
- next day for my surprise i couldn´t see this HD in Finder
- looked in Disk Utility and the HD is there
- if i click on the drive and "open" then i can see it in finder and have access to all data, but if i click on "reveal in finder" i can´t see it!
- i started CarbonCopyCloner and did a complete backup to a new second backup HD, CCC recognized the HD and everything worked fine
- now the backup HD has the same problem, i can see it only in Disk Utility
- it seems that the error moved from one drive to the other, so my guess is it has nothing to do with brands or a hardware failure
- i´m searching now for hours but i don´t find a solution
- i now have one (very important) data HD and a backup HD as a clone with the same problem
- all other HD´s i have are showing correctly in finder!
Does anyone have any ideas?

After hours of searching this is the solution:
Open Terminal, then
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
sudo chflags nohidden /Volumes/"Name Of Drive"
killall Finder
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles FALSE
killall Finder

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Energy Saver ▹ Power Adapter
and uncheck the box labeled Put the hard disk(s) to sleep when possible, if it's checked.
If the drive has more than one interface (USB, FireWire, Thunderbolt, eSATA), try one of the other interfaces.
Check that the data cable is securely inserted at both ends.
Try a different cable.
If you're connecting the drive through a hub, connect it directly to a built-in port on the Mac.
If you're connecting it directly, try a different port.
Disconnect all other devices on the bus, or as many as possible.
Test the drive with another Mac. Test another drive with this Mac.
If the drive is bus-powered, but has an AC adapter, connect the adapter.
Start up in Recovery mode and launch Disk Utility. Is the drive recognized?
Start up in Safe Mode and test.
Reset the NVRAM.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If the drive doesn't work under any of the above conditions, and if another drive does work with the same Mac, then the drive has failed. You may be able to salvage the mechanism by removing it from the enclosure and installing it in another one, or in a drive dock.

Formatted SD card with disk utility, broke the card.

I just bought a 4GB SD card for my camera. At first it couldn't recognize it at all but when I connected the camera (with the card) to my mac and formatted it using Disk Utility app as 1GB plus free space the camera could work with the card. When I decided to format it as 2GB plus free space the Disk Utility hung and I force quit it. After that neither Disk Utility nor camera can see the card. All menus in Disk Util are grayed out. I tried 'sudo diskutil' from terminal (the card is still mounted in /dev folder) but still get a message 'permission denied'. Does it mean that I completely damaged my newly bought 4GB card and waisted $30+? Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The camera wouldn't recognize the card at first, I guess just because it was too big for it. After I formatted it as 1GB it was fine, as I already mentioned. I was wondering is there any other than diskutil low-level formatting software I can use on the card.

Music Server Can't See External Drive Formatted for WIN with Disk Utility.

Is there any reason an external drive formatted for WIN (MS-DOS(FAT)/FAT32 or NTFS w/ NTFS-3G/MacFUSE) with Disk Utility would not work for intended purpose? I have a music server (Bryston BDP-1) that uses an attached USB drive for storage/playback of music and can only read FAT32 or NTFS formatted drives. I've tried both and neither is readable by the BDP-1, yet I have no problem reading/writing to the supplied 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32), as well as another 2GB Thumb Drive (FAT32). Get Info shows; "FAT32" for all drives formatted as such.
Note: From what I'm told the BDP-1 uses a scaled down version of Linux for it's OS. Isn't that UNIX? Shouldn't it be compatible (Read/Write) with other platforms (i.e, Mac)? Bryston says the reason they use it because it's Open-Source. Does Linux only work FAT32 or NTFS?
I do have Fusion/XP, also access to WIN PC's, but I just hate to use it when I shouldn't have to. It makes no sense why the drive can't be read by the BDP-1 when formatted for WIN under OS X.
And there was one other issue, after the third try to format fro WIN the external drive suddenly began making faint clicking sounds instead of a spinning drive sound only when plugged into BDP-1 USB port. But it works fine when connected to iMac FW.

Seagate External HDD is lost due to repairing with Disk Utility, Why?

Hi to all,
I have been struggling with my external harddisks for a few days now. And there is something that I really wish to find out why. I will really appreciate any ideas or help, thanks in advance.
I have two Seagate Freeagent external harddisks. With both, I have had problem while trashing the items that I deleted. They didn't go away. So I first verify the disks with disk utility and then repair them. One of them was safe and sound after repairing. The trash was empty. But the other one was totally gone! Empty! Like formatted! Right now I am using Seagate File Recovery software to get my data back. (And by the way, mostly works like a charm. But I have nearly 2 days to wait for the scan.)
- Is repair disk not supposed to JUST repair disk and not format the whole drive? Or am I lacking information?
- What is the problem here?
A small note: Both harddisks are working on Mac and Windows environment. They are not formatted and used as Mac Journaled or so.
I hope that I can get reply to this topic. Thank you very much.

Hello! The drive's directory structure (the raod map to every bit of info on the drive) is severely damaged. If the disk utility won't repair the damage then your next best shot is to purchase DISKWARRIOR or possible TechToolPro. Diskwarrior is the best utility for directory repair. There are cases where Diskwarrior can't repair the drive. A file recovery only app is DATARESCUE II. This is the time where you need multiple backups. I would encourage you to maintain more than one backup to increase your chances of successful recovery of your data. Personally I always try to maintain 3-5 backups. Tom

Problems with Disk Utility & Mounting DMG!! Help!!

Hey guys, im a fairly inexperienced mac user anyways I recently bought a IBOOK G3 with Tiger 10.4 and i'm having major issues with Disk Utility and installing applications.
The issues with D.I are that it loads up then I get the error message "Disk Utlity started but a background process needed in Disk Utility didn't start properly. Please quit and restart Disk Utility. And when I do restart it, i get the same error over and over.
Also my second problem is whenever I try to and install DMG files I get the error: "Broken Pipe" and sometimes "Device Not Configured"
I've tried searching for resolutions for each problem but they both involve the other functioning! I'm really at a loss, i've tried using programs like pacifist to reinstall my original files etc and they haven't seemed to help.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you xxx

Hi Kellie, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, 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. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.
May even need to do an Archive and Install if you have room on the HD, but saves all your files and gives a new OS...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
I only use Software Update to see what is needed, then get them for real via...
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/
That way I can wait a week or so, check the forums for potential problems, and get Permissions & such in order before installing.
Report if there were errors please.

Can't create disk image with Disk Utility

I just upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion and i can no longer create disk images with Disk Utility in order to store encrypted data.
The operation fails and ends with the post :
Failed to create disk image, error:
hdiutil: create failed - Resource busy
I use three Macs with Mountain Lion, and this problem occurs only on one of the three.
I check the disk, repair permissions and did a reset of the PRAM. I even did a reinstall of Mountain Lion, without success.
But curiously, using a new user account, I was able to create a first disk image. But no one after.

Launch the Console 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 Console in the page that opens.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Try the action that you're having trouble with again. Post any messages that appear in the Console window – the text, please, not a screenshot.
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
DO NOT INDISCRIMINATELY DUMP THOUSANDS OF LINES FROM THE LOG INTO A MESSAGE. If you do that, I will not respond.

I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13

After installing iTunes update 11.1, I can no longer repair permissions with Disk Utility, v. 13. When I attempt to repair Disk Permissions, there appear dozens of items showing that "Permissions differ on "Applications/iTunes.app....", then it says that it has been repaired. However, when I do a second or third repair immediately afterwards, I see the same thing again.

Cant restore my macbook with Disk utility and my .dmg image

My macbook would not boot anymore. Stuck on gray screen with apple logo, spinning wheel and a loading bar for a while after shutting off.
I was able to get to Disk Utility in the recovery mode and, after a while, was able to make an image of my filesin an attempt to back them up.
The .dmg was put on an external and i checked it on my imac, i could open the .dmg file and browse all my files from my macbook, so those are safe!
After that i tried to wipe the SSD of my macbook and put the image back but that didn't work, also some resource is busy errors.
After trying this a few times without succes i figured i'd try to do a clean install. This worked.
My macbook air is working again but if Iuse Disk Utility in the recovery now and try and restore my image (.dmg file) it gives me Restore Failure; An error (-16) occured (resource busy) as well. I also tried to copy the dmg onto my macbook and run disc utility when booted into OSX. I open up the back up .dmg with Disk utility, then i go to my macbooks partition (Macontiosh HD) and use that as a destination and drag the mounted image as the source as shown on the image below. Am I doing something wrong here?
Doing this i get an error as well: (-119,930,878) Resource busy as you can see.
What can i do to get my image back on my macbook? Any 3rd party software?
I considered just transferring the files after opening the .dmg file but this works only for documents and not for programs and settings of the default apps.
I've looked all over the Internet and it seems more people have had this error but then with making the image, they also suggest unmounting the destination disk before trying to restore but my destination is Macintosh HD, i cant really unmount that can i?
Thanks in advance!

To make a clone, in the future you need to use a program like superduper or carbon copy cloner.
Either program makes an identical clone while preserving certain system files and marking/indicating to OS X that the clone is bootable.
Using Disk Utility to make a DMG was a good idea, but this will not yield a bootable image.
If Disk Utility could do a 1:1 copy of everything, then people would be using it to rip/duplicate DVDs.
But Disk Utility does not (it leaves out certain invisible/system files), hence it cannot duplicate/clone a hard drive or DVD.

USB key unreadable / damaged after formatting with Disk Utility
