Worrying Disk Utility Error Message

When I click verify disk in Disk Utility, a worrying error message comes up saying " The underlying task did not complete on exit" giving the error message

Help! This is a brand new MacBookPro, I've only had it a couple of days!

So far I have never had any problems with them personally so I don't do an Erase & Install.
I'm sure we're all happy for you although problems do happen. Problems with the installation and even hardware problems. Thing is, often these issues aren't apparent until some time later.
The way I see it, the time and effort required to do an "Erase and Install" (which include a zero write to the drive) is a known… about 3 hours. To my mind, even there's a remote chance that this stops a potential problem in its tracks before it's a problem it's worth the time spent. 3 hours over the lifetime of a Mac OS X installation is not a lot to give up.
Additionally, by zero writing to a drive, it does allow you to see if your drive is on one way performing correctly. All four of my 300GB drives in my Mac Pro wrote zeros within one minute of each other. I know these drives won't have issues when being told to write a ton of data. Whithout doing this I would never know.
Now I did the same thing with my parents' 750GB drives and one finished in 3 hours and the other was still going at 5 hours. Now you can't tell me there's not something up there. So at what point would you like to have found that out?
How much time, let alone money, does it cost to do something later on?
Just like tools like Monolingual. How many issues with updates are caused by such tools? Again, how much time is lost to debug and maybe fix such issues? Thing is, we don't know although if you had a customised installation from the outset it wouldn't matter as you wouldn't be using such tools.
But hey… everyone's got their own opinion. All I know is that my systems always seem to go better and faster than every other Mac owners I know.

  • Disk utility error message

    My daughter told me her Mac mini isn't booting up past the grey screen. I put in the install disk and started it up pressing "C" and used Disk Utility to attempt to figure out what's up. I got the following error message:
    Could not repair due to underlying task failure on exit (-9972)
    Does this mean the hard drive is toast? I don't have any HD repair software-with all my Macs I've never run across a problem that the boards here or Disk Utility couldn't fix for me. I don't know if she damaged the drive (she claims the cat chewed on the edge of the mini-sounds a bit like the "dog ate the homework"), or if it failed. It was purchased last year when Tiger was released, so it should still be under warranty. Any ideas about what I could try next?
    Thanks

    Dale, although the -9972 error is probably some serious data error on the drive, which can sometimes be solved by an Erase & Install of Mac OS X, the fact that the Hardware Test reports an issue probably means that the data error was caused by physical damage on the drive.
    I have to say that I find your post(s) most unhelpful. It' true that the informatin contained in them can be useful, however, you could have made the effort to sort it for iMargB. The fact that you didn't, plus your posting of the exact same post in two different threads, makes me feel that you are in a hurry, and that you sacrifice quality to quantity. Trying to help as many people as possible is a good thing, however, we are here to help (or to be helped), not to overwhelm people with information, hoping that they will figure it all out on their own.
    iMargB, the Hardware Test is not part of Mac OS X, it is a system-specific volume, which explains why it is included on your original disc rather than on the Tiger one. Your guess of using the latest OS's Install disc was a good one though, when it comes to using Disk Utility for example : attempting to repair a Tiger installation with a Panther disc is not a good idea, as it might damage it instead, because of the differences between Panther and Tiger.
    Although I know little about the Hardware Test's error messages, the "Master" part is not what would worry me, as it could just be the position of your hard drive's jumper (which could be Master, Slave, or Cable Select). However, if the Mass Storage test is failing, I would suspect a hardware issue with the drive itself. Hardware Test is known to miss a few things sometimes, but the reverse isn't true. Thus if it reports a bad drive, I think it is safer to assume that there is an issue than to assume that Hardware Test is wrong. Moreover, the "Invalid Node Structure" is very likely due to physical damage (as I already said), therefore, zeroing out all data and reisntalling Mac OS X or using Disk Warrior could be very temporary fixes.
    If you have a FireWire cable, I would suggest booting your Mini in FireWire Target Disk Mode to retrieve as much data as you can, with another Mac such as your iMac or iBook. Instructions can be found here. There may still be a chance that the other Mac could see the drive, so not all your data would be lost. Then, I would take it to Apple for repair, as the drive could be failing.

  • Disk Utility Error Message-Bootable USB/ExternalHD

    I'm using Disk Utility at the moment to create a bootable USB/External HD ( I've tried both ) and nothing is working. It comes up with a error message. I have the retail Snow Leopard DMG and i'm doing everything correct user wise. It's just something is wrong with Disk Utility in my opinion..
    Error message (60) restore failure.
    So now my question is.. I's there a alternative for creating a bootable usb/external harddrive. CCC only allows for the copying of your Macintosh but I want to create a bootable drive. Please someone help fast.

    Hello, have you used Disk Utility to Repair the External Drive?
    Might try Carbon Copy Cloner...

  • Disk Utility Error Message - Missing EFI + MediaKit

    Previously setup was with 2 partitions, one for normal use while the other had the Lion Install ESD on it, used when I installed some time ago. The other day my machine suddenly shutdown and when I started it, it stated that the Lion Install ESD partition was corrupted.
    I created a new Lion Install ESD partition and made a clean install (I was going to do so anyway).
    My machine is booting fine, but it acts funny in the Disk Utility. First, an overview of my disk:
    However if I attempts to "Verify Disk" on my disk (not on a specific partition) via the Disk Utility the following error is shown:
    Even more strange is when I attempt to let the "Macintosh HD" use maximum space on the disk. It is currently sized at 230GB, but if I use the Disk Utility to increase it to say 231GB it reports the following error:
    However, the space is clearly unused. And if I simply drag the partition down to use all the space the error will not prompt but nothing will happen.
    In the time between my first install of Lion and the recent shutdown I had installed rEFIt after attempting to run Ubuntu, however it was quickly uninstalled again with no issues in the following months.
    So, any clue what is going on with my disk?
    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe some added info will help. I have no problems starting the machine and using it. It's just that when I went to fix permissions and accessed disk utility from the hard drive to do it, I got the error message noted in my first post. I am wondering why that is, since it didn't happen before. I did use my 10.4 OS disk to start up just so I could fix permissions (that did fix permissions), but trying to repair the disk (to hopefully fix the problems I was having when I tried to access disk utility from my HD) didn't work. That's when I got the second error message. Is that because I've upgraded my OS to 10.4.11? I did that w/the Apple on line upgrades, so I don't have a 10.4.11 disk. Is that the problem? Also, do you know if there is a 10.4.3 upgrade? Thanks.

  • Disk Utility - Error message...how do I fix this???

    My powerbook has been running a little sluggish, so I decided to run Disk Utility and the following message appears:
    First Aid failed.
    The underlying task reported failure on exit.
    Can anyone let me know how to solve this???

    Hi, ejji. Without knowing which routine you were running, it's pointless to guess at what the problem might be. Try the following:
    Boot the Powerbook to your most recent retail OS X installer disc; use Disc 1, if it's a set. Note: (DO NOT use your Intel iMac installer disc(s) on the Powerbook.) Open Disk Utility from the Installer menu. Select the hard drive and the First Aid tab, then click "Repair Disk". This may be the same thing you were doing when the error message appeared before. If it is, repeating the procedure won't do any harm and might do some good. If you don't get a similar error message this time, repeat the process until DU has given you two consecutive "Appears OK" verdicts. If that doesn't happen after half a dozen runs, you'll need either to buy and use a more powerful disk Utility like DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro, or erase the drive completely and reinstall everything on it.
    If you do get two consecutive "Appears OK" outcomes from the Repair Disk routine, try the Repair Permissions routine next.
    Post back with results and/or additional questions.

  • A Disk Utility error message when creating a dmg file

  • Disk Utility Error Message for Firewire HD: Could not unmount disk

    I have one internal HD with 10.4.2, another with 9.2.2, and an external firewire with 9.2.2. Sometimes the firewire does not show up on my desktop, or when I try to copy files onto it the beachball spins endlessly. When I try to reboot holding down the Option key, the firewire HD does not show up.
    I ran TechTools 4.05 (while booted from my Tiger HD) on the firewire HD. Everything checked out.
    I tried running Disk Utility on the firewire. The first time this is what I got:
    "First aid failed. Invalid key check. Volume check failed. Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit."
    I ran Disk Utility again:
    "Repairing disk failed with error. Could not unmount disk."
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Your firewire disk is damaged. Try that: restart in safe mode (pressing SHIFT after the chime). Wait for complete boot. Plug the external HDD. Try again with Disk Utilities. Wait the report. My advise is to check its integrity. Try repair. If nothing works, try with DiskWarrior (the best utility).
    If DiskWarrior can't do the job, you – definitely have a damaged hard disk.

    Are you saying that you have songs on your iPod that are not in iTunes? If you have been relying on iPod as the sole backup for your music, I think you now understand why it's important to backup your library in some fashion, such as burning data CD/DVD's. When you have to restore your iPod because of an iPod problem, your music is gone.

    What does all his mean? How can I repair my disk? My computer is acting up. The cursor turns into the coloured busy symbol at the slightest thing. It can stay busy for really long, preventing me from doing anything. I then have to shut down and restart. I've also received the flashing question mark when trying to restart.

    Anyway, why would everything be working OK before the update if my computer was so bad?
    That happens. Applying an update sometimes makes the problems more noticeable.
    Luckily, I managed do back up everything on my two external HDs with no problems.
    What kind of backup? If it's a clone, it will have the same serious error you have now; unless it was done a while back, before any issues were there.
    things seem to freeze up when I'm doing lots of multitasking.
    Because you have serious directory corruption.
    But maybe it's time for a new machine sooner than I planned?
    This is repairable by you. It's possible a piece of hardware, think bad RAM, could cause this directory corruption.
    Try running your Apple Hardware Test to see if it flags anything.

    You do not need the Setup Assistant; in fact, you do not need any software on an external hard drive. I have two LaCie's; I erased the drive as soon as I plugged it in. You will need to format it anyway because most hard drives come Windows formatted. So, if you only want to use it with the Mac, highlight it in Disk Utility and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format and the GUID Partition scheme under Options. While doing that, it will erase the drive (and get rid of the LaCie software) - once finished, your drive is ready to use for Time Machine or any other backup plans you have for it.

    As it turns out, this didn't completely solve the problem, it solved part of the problem.
    Here is a summary to the root cause of the problem.
    SUCCESS...
    Problem Summary : The system crashed and would hangup during boot, tried many things, until I eventually erased the disk and started over again.
    iMacG5 24 GHZ Intel with One internal disk partitioned into 3 logical drives
    Cub_1 OS X 10.5.7
    Cub_2 OS X 10.5.7 (Carbon Copy Cloner backup of Cub_1)
    Cub_3 OS X Server 10.5.7 (standard os x server setup)
    At some point after setting up standard preferences, OS X Server crashed.
    When I tried to restart, the machine would hang up during boot.
    Finally after several attempts, ran Disk Utility from install dvd and repaired Cub_3
    When I tried to run "Repair Permissions" on Cub_3 from install dvd, I got an error
    Disk Utility Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit 1.
    Rebooted, and started in single user mode (CMD-S) during boot until I saw the unix commands on the screen
    RAN : root # fsck -fy
    Then I began seeing the same command filling the screen :
    posix_spawnp("/usr/sbin/mDNSResponder") could not find file or directory
    Called Enterprise Support and spoke to Frank Alcorn, he said this was most likely a permissions problem and asked me to try repairing permissions from the install dvd. I told him about the error, but nevertheless I tried it again and got the same Disk Utility Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit 1..
    He asked me to try booting into single user mode again, and to try
    root # chmod 775 /
    root # reboot
    During the reboot process the machine got hung up again, and could not get the single user mode to work at all.
    Frank said the command needed to be :
    root # chmod 1775 /
    Frank asked me if I had changed anything in file sharing, and I told him I had. He asked me what I had shared, and I said the entire drive Cub_3. He asked me what I had done for permissions, if I had denied permissions to anyone. I told him that I had set myself up as the only user that could have access to it, and when he said that's where the problem was the lightbulb went off, and it made sense.
    Shortly after I set the sharing preferences is when the server crashed. It all makes sense now...
    Frank said not to share the entire disk, only portions (share points) of it. I had done this in Panther Server, and Tiger Server and it worked fine, but apparently Leopard Server works a little differently, maybe more secure.
    It seems to me that if sharing the entire disk, which is what I needed would cause such a problem there should have been some sort of warning from the operating system, but there wasn't. I had run into this problem several times over the past three weeks since I had started working with Leopard Server, but in each case I ended up re-installing OS X Server and starting over again.
    I told him I would try to reboot from the OS X partition (Cub_1) and try it from there.
    He asked me to let him know if it worked, and I said I would...
    Problem FIX :
    I booted back into the partition containing OS X (Cub_1) and did the following via the Terminal.
    $ su - root
    $ chmod 1775 /
    $ reboot
    During the reboot process I held down the (OPTION) key, and selected Cub_3 (the os x server partition) and sure enough after a few minutes of holding my breath the login window magically appeared. So I logged in, and did not have to re-install the server. Hallellujah....
    This solved the boot hang problem. It is great to finally have an answer. In retrospect it makes sense, but that's why its hindsight...
    The reason for sharing the entire disk in my mind was that since I was the only user on the system, it was easier to have one disk mounted on my workstation rather than several folders. It made sense to me, it still does. I don't need a bunch of folders, just one disk is easier...

  • IDVD reports strange insufficent disk space error message

    I want to create a slide show DVD. When I open the project "Project Information" shows DVD capacitiy 0.6GB of 4.2 GB used. That seems ok, but when I try to save as Image I get an "insufficent disk space" error message (On the disk there are 28 GB free). After trying to save the Image "Project Information" says
    5084435456,8 GB used - what's going on?
    MacBook   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Are you doing the Save as Disk Image... correctly? This seem really odd.
    File/Save as Disc Image...
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=164927
    This will isolate any encoding/burning issues you may encounter. Once the disc image is created, double-click the .img and burn the virtual disc that should appear on your desktop, using Toast to burn the DVD. Disk Utility to burn the .img file. Usually, you can select a burning speed in Disk Utility.
    There are variations to this process based on which OS X you are using...
    Open Disk Utility (in Utilities folder in Applications folder), click on the virtual disc (maybe the .img) in the left-hand window. Click the Burn icon. A new window should drop down and your SuperDrive tray will open after clicking the Burn icon. Insert a recordable DVD. (Verbatim DVD-R preferred by me.) Click the Close button. Wait. Select a burn speed. If you hold your mouse cursor over the pop-up it says: "Select a slower speed to work around burn failures," so select 4x or slower for best results. Then click the Burn button.
    -->If the virtual disk selection won't allow you to click the Burn icon, use the .img file instead. This may have changed in 10.3.9 and did change in Tiger.
    Also, you can use DVD Player to play the virtual disk to check your iDVD project before burning to DVD. Launch DVD Player. File/Open VIDEO_TS (Open DVD Media... in Player 4.6). Find the VIDEO_TS folder and open that. (The audio folder is for DVD-Audio disks.)

    Hard drive says I have more than 300 GB available with a 500 gb capacity. Yet I get "Low Disk Space" error messages when I do anything.
    Attempted solutions:
    -I created a new User Account and I can download large files with no issues.
    -I ran "Repair Disk Permissions" but still get warnings.
    Google Drive Warning:
    Spotify Warning:        
    But on my other user account I can use spotify and download large files, etc.

    Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
    This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
    Step 1
    If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
    Enter the following command in the Terminal window in the same way as before (triple-click, copy, and paste):
    { sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
    This time you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
    Step 2 (optional)
    Take this step only if you have trouble with Step 1 or if it doesn't solve the problem.
    Boot into Recovery. When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
    Utilities ▹ Terminal
    from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
    In the Terminal window, type this:
    res
    Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
    resetpassword
    Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not  going to reset a password.
    Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
    Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
    Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
    Select
     ▹ Restart
    from the menu bar.

  • Disk full error message?

    stuff, this site has issues.
    Okay, what I need to know is why I am getting a "disk full" error message when I try to save photos. This has only started to happen and my disk drives have plenty of space left on them.

    Thanks, but what is the Scratch disk set?
    Regards,

    Squasha9 it would appear that the DMG you downloaded is corrupted.  Where did you download the installation files from?  You can download a copy of the installation files from Download CS6 products.
