Cannot repair a vault disk file in El Capitan

I had force my Macbook shut down recently and I opened disk utility to see if everything was okay. I'm running day El Capitan with a FileVault encrypted drive. New Macbook Pro (February 2015).

"First aid" running on the external Apple SSD article seems to be OK. It is when I run 'First aid' Macintosh HD said tells me that something is wrong and it needs to be repaired, but there is no repair button. Subsequent executions of "First aid" keep showing that there is a problem, so it doesn't seem to be repaired first aid course.

I tried to start with the command + R to repair the disk, but it let me only apply "First aid" for Apple, not the Macintosh HD SSD. He said that Macintosh HD was not mounted. I guess it's because it is encrypted with FileVault, but I couldn't find how to tell him to decipher or mount the drive to take a peek.

How can I run a repair on the disk? Should I even bother?

Thank you!

When you attempt to repair a FileVault encrypted disk, it should ask you to type the FileVault password.

Also, you can't repair a disk while you are started on this disc. You must use the disk on the recovery disk utility to disassemble and repair the disk.

Start the recovery by restarting the computer and immediately hold control + R until you see a progress bar. Once the recovery window opens, select utility disk and then try to repair the drive Macintosh HD with first aid.

  • Windows XP Home Edition has lost drive of installation and CD Key - cannot repair windows (damaged WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM file)

    I can't start Windows XP Home Edition at all - everything I try to do using the Advanced Options results in the same error message screen (Windows is not start because the following file is missing or corrupt...). I can't do a repair installation because my friend who has built my computer and installed my operating system lost the disc to install Windows XP Home Edition and the CD Key, I ordered.

    Have you tried 'XP No Boot troubleshooting steps' sticky post at the top of this forum?

    As this issues happens several times a day and your system falls into any category to start, why not start there and see if that helps?

    The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes pulling and buttons power)

    These can cause corruption in the file system that must be fixed before you do anything else.

    If none of these events occurred (or even if they have not taken place), you must verify the integrity of your file system before anything else (especially "try" things).

    There is zero logic to start try to copy files to a hard drive with a corrupted file system so it must first be fixed using the XP chkdsk program and setting that may solve your problem completely, but you must start there.

    Use the XP Recovery Console to check the file system on your HARD drive and fix the problems and then try to start your system - this may be all you need to do.  Or, you are welcome to just start trying things that might work.

    Start the Recovery Console Windows using an XP bootable installation CD or create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.  If you don't know what kind of bootable CD, you, do a CD of bootable XP Recovery Console and do not forget.

    You can create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console when no XP CD is available by following the instructions in this link:

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic276527.html

    After booting into the Recovery Console, you should be in this folder:

    C:\WINDOWS

    For each of your hard disk partitions, you must then run:

    Chkdsk /r

    For example, at the Recovery Console prompt, enter:

    CHKDSK c: /r

    Let chkdsk finish to correct the problems, he could find.  It may take a long time to complete or seem to be 'glued '.  Be patient.  If the HARD drive light flashes, it's something.  Keep an eye on the amount of the percentage to be sure that it is still making progress.  It may even seem to go back sometime.

    The chkdsk/r must be completed without error, you may need to run several times until it does.

    Remove the CD, and then type "exit" to exit the RC and restart the computer.

    Hello Natoin1211,

    Do you mean that you have restored the system to the factory default and you still get the error messages and bluescreens?

    If this is the case, we are probably seeing some problems with the hardware or the recovery process.

    I would recommend hardware diagnostics currently running on this computer, such as provided by the hardware manufacturer.

    Let us know the results.

    Best regards

  • Cannot resize the virtual disk, the virtual machine by using a «child» vmdk file

    Release: VMWare workstation 9

    SE host: Windows 7 64-bit

    Screenshots below.

    I want to resize my VM from 50 GB to 100 GB.

    It seems that VMware workstation 9 uses a child for my VM vmdk.  In my case, using its "Windows Server 2008 R2 x 64 - 000001.vmdk" for its virtual disk file.  The correct file should be "Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.vmdk", I think.

    There are currently no snapshots registered for this virtual machine, I see.

    The virtual machine works well as is, but I can't resize the disk without the VMWare gui, saying I should be perform the operation on the parent vmdk file.

    It seems that I do run a snapshot that is not really a snapshot?  How to merge with the older files - Sxx.vmdk to 0000xx - Sxxx.vmdk

    I also tried to use the command line tool to manually resize the vmdk parent, but I get permission "access denied" errors.

    Kind regards

    He no snapshots are displayed in the Manager of snapshot with the check box 'Show AutoProtect snapshots' verified then the snapshot is an orphan and the best way I use normally to fix this if I want the contents of the snapshot of orphan to be among the basic disk is with tab of the virtual machine in VMware Workstation GUI closed I simply delete the .vmsd file and then open the virtual machine tab in the VMware Workstation GUI and cover and immediately remove a snapshot in the Snapshot Manager.  This will force the orphan snapshot to merge with the parent disk.  Then to clean I still remove the .vmsd file and orphans, .vmsn and .vmem file.

    Note: Before the procedure you have a good backup of the virtual machine in case you accidentally mess something up.

    Hello

    First disconnect the external devices connected to the computer except the mouse and keyboard.

    Startup Repair is a Windows Vista recovery tool that can fix certain problems, such as system files missing or damaged that may prevent Windows from starting correctly. When you run the Startup Repair, it scans your computer for the problem and then tries to fix it so that your computer can start correctly.

    As Windows automatically launches the Startup Repair tool there is a possibility that she cannot cross the whole scan problems.

    I suggest that you do the startup repair using the Windows Vista installation disc and check if it works.

    If you have a Windows Vista installation disc, you need to restart (boot) your computer using the installation disc. If you do not restart your computer from the disk, the option to repair your computer will not appear.

    1. Insert the installation disc.
    2. restart your computer.
    Click the Start button, click the arrow next to the lock button, and then click restart.
    3. If you are prompted, press any key to start Windows from the installation disc.
    Note If your computer is not configured to start from a CD or a DVD, see the documentation provided with your computer. You may need to change your computer's BIOS settings. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
    4. choose your language settings, and then click Next.
    5. click on Repair your computer.
    6. Select the operating system you want to repair, and then click Next.
    7. in the System Recovery Options menu, click Startup Repair.
     
    Check out the link for more information below.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/how-do-I-fix-a-boot-startup-problem

    If startup repair does not resolve the issue then in the same way using the windows vista disc try to restore system until the day where computer was working fine.

    I hope this helps!

  • Vista will not start! Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer. Startup Repair cannot repair. Details say 'wrong pass '. What is the correct syntax for pkgmgr to uninstall?

    Vista will not start!  Black screen, no mouse, no cursor pointer.  Startup Repair cannot repair.  Details say 'wrong pass '.  It looks like all the files are well intact on the disk.

    What is the correct for pkgmgr syntax when you try to uninstall an update by using a command prompt when starting Vista OS disk?  I entered the following in the "x:\Sources >" prompt:

    start /w pkgmgr/o: "C:\; /Up:Package_1_for_KB2840149~31bf3856ad364e35~x86~~6.0.1.0 C:\Windows.

    When I run this command it ends quickly and when I run 'echo %errorlevel%' I get '5', which seems to mean 'access denied'.  How am I supposed to have access to remove the patch?  Am I missing something?  Perhaps a switch in the syntax to access?  Help, please.  Thank you.

    I tried both options that you recommended.  As initially stated, no boot option would produce something other than the black screen.  I tried to boot from a drive and restoring the system running, but she didn't, and when I tried to do it again the recovery console could not find restore points. ?.

    An update, the computer is now fixed.  Oddly enough, I ran recovery of starting a drive at least 8 times and each time I checked the details and he said: he ran chkdsk without error and return to the same cause "a patch is preventing windows to start.  I even ran chkdsk c: /f from a prompt command from the recovery disk and it found no errors.  That's when I posted the question above after trying to remove the patch in the manner described above.  After some time and frustration, I decided to run chkdsk /r c:.  It took awhile, but it found 1 bad sector, moved the data, the bad sector tag and finished.  Once I restarted from that, everything came and went very well.

    So, the original question remains, what was missing in the command to run pkgmgr/high: successfully.  And the new question exists as to why start Recovery claims run chkdsk if it does not, or he turns the version/f not the version/r the same as I did manually?  It would be good to know for the future.  Thank you!

      I suggest you start troubleshooting with the following diagnostic tests.  They will save you a lot of time and grief if there is a hardware failure, and you have records on site in case you need it in the future:

      H/W Diagnostics:
      Please start by running the diagnostics bootable hardware:
      http://www.carrona.org/memdiag.html (read the details at the link)

    8. "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" - Satellite C660-108

      Got a new laptop for Christmas yesterday and it worked fine yesterday, I came home tonight and he asked me to click on restore and then restart. I realized that, now, whenever I go to turn on the machine, it brings the message "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically" and a saying to have connected external devices to and remove, then (which I don't have)...

      Was called "The Tech Guys" they said it was probably because when I started the laptop arrived so many updates etc and one of them went bad and I need to call back with the front desk and they'll go through it with me.
      So I intend to do, but I would like it if people could give advice on how to solve this problem.
      Thanks :)

      In my view, ting best that you can do now is to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk.
      After the own pre-installed operating system it will be working correctly again.

      How to do this you can read in the document or as a result of this document - s user manual http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm
      If you have any other questions you are welcome.

    9. Cannot create because of hidden file hiberfil.sys.

      I can't activate hibernate on my Windows XP Home Edition because it is actually impossible to create the hiberfil.sys file. Any attempt to create the file cause error 'access denied '. I am an administrator on the computer and you can create any other file in the root directory of the system E: drive.
      Sort the list of files in the root directory, I think do not show the file. Any attempt to open the result file in 'access denied '.
      Cacls hiberfil.sys prints "the system cannot find the file specified."
      However, there are few programs that can see the file. For example, MyDefrag can show map disk file and the E:\hiberfil.sys file is considered to be a file system.
      What would you recommend to remove this invisible file?

      OK, I managed to solve the problem.
      Using disk hex editor I changed the name of hiberfil.sys to hiberfil.syt in $MFT, then chkdsk some kind restored the file and changed Hibernate service its size in current memory of the PC. The file is now visible.
      I'll check if hibernation is actually at work.
