Cannot restore the files from hard drive damaged in disk utility

Questions

1. can I save my files/fix this problem without having to restore via disk utility?

2. What am I doing wrong / I can do to restore correctly on an external hard drive via disk utility?

Background

Last week when I turned my MacBook Pro 2012 I got stuck on the gray login screen. The progress bar moves very, very slowly and when he finished my laptop spontaneously restarted and repeated the same thing over and over again. Here's what I tried to do so far:

-Start in SafeMode: does not work

-Extended Apple Diagnostics/Apple Hardware Test: test results: no problem found

-Utility (recovery and valorisation of the Internet) disk: disk hard Mac (Apple HDD) and Recovery (partition) HD are not damaged, but the partition disk0s2 is (created after a failure; a year not logged - if it matters) and in 'check' and 'fix' the latter I get inconsistent error messages.

Disk utility error messages

Most often, I get this error:

The volume disk0s2 was found damaged and must be repaired. Error: This disc needs to be repaired. Click on the ERD.

Stopped disk utility check "disk0s2."

Disk0s2 volume could not be repaired after 3 attempts.

Error: Disk utility can't repair the disk. Save as many files as possible, reformat the drive and restore your files packed around the top.

I also received this error message once:

Wrong number of extended attributes (it should be 730585 instead of 730589)

Wrong number of access control lists (there are 1364 instead of 1368)

Save the files to external hard drive?

Before that I didn't even used/accessed Time Machine.  I have a new HDD external, formatted for Mac. I created two partitions: backup and Time Machine (so I can start using it once I have find this current issue). When I try to restore disk0s2 external hard disk I get an error restore failed (252 or 254, I think).

When you drive is damaged, it is extremely difficult to make progress.

I recommend the lessee a spare drive in an external enclosure and install MacOS on it again. Then boot from that and you are back in business. You can use the full power of Mac OS AND additional utilities to recover your files.

More 350 000 files on your damaged disc are Mac OS - and those that can be installed in replicas of prefect by a new installation on a new drive. You can't Brute force 'all' copy of a damaged disc. What you want back damaged drive is not Mac OS X files - you want YOUR files. They are stored in the Directory/users in a folder with your short user name. with additional utilities, you can simply copy this directory, or use a recovery as data rescue program to get individual files.

  • How can I delete the files from hard drive update?

    Whenever I download some updates of drivers and programs to my PC via the HP Support Assistant, the program downloads firmware like spXXXXX and then decompresses them in C:\SWSetup folder in order to install them. Now, I see that this folder is not empty and is about 8 GB and probably the update packages are stored somewhere else, and I have room in my drive, so the question is: is it safe to delete the contents of this folder or the files are always stored in a purpose? Is there a way I can clean these files after you install the updates?

    Yes, they are created in a temporary folder and then gets deleted after installation.

  • Cannot access the files from the internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead

    I can't access the files from an internal hard drive that has been converted to drive external hard after the motherboard is dead. I think that my files are still there, as shown in the volume of the player volume ~ 500 gb which is almost completely full. But I can't access most files, including documents and settings. When I took 'ownership' of the folder, I could open the TI but then it showed everything that was in my documents and settings on the computer file I used to open it, not the documents of the car.

    Uhm... I think the issue here is a misunderstanding of what you watch.

    If you want to access your files from the old hard drive - you need to look in the right place.  If the old system was "Windows 7", "Documents and Settings" is the * wrong * place to look and "Users" would be the place to go.

    You * will * take ownership and change permissions on ALL (you want to propagate to all subfolders/files when do - to save time) in order to get them properly.

    New-->: Windows Vista/7 would have your files located in the directory 'Users' of the root of the drive - and then under your username.

    • \USERS\\Desktop\
    • \USERS\\Downloads\
    • \USERS\\Favorites\
    • \USERS\\Documents\
    • \USERS\\Music\
    • \USERS\\Pictures\
    • \USERS\\Videos\

    ... etc...

    Documents and settings to WIndows Vista/Windows 7 is a symbolic link and would lead to what you see if you tried to use it.

  • How can I delete file from HARD drive recovery?

    I burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder and would now like to delete the original folder on my hard drive that I need the space.
    Unfortunately I don't seem to have permission to make changes to the file.

    Any suggestions? (I'm a noob in vista)

    Thank you

    > burned a copy of the HDD recovery folder
    I think this will not help you if you would try to recover this file of HARD drive recovery once again!
    You need a recovery disk! This disc would only create a HARD disk partition once again!

    This means that you must create the recovery disk, first using the Toshiba recovery disc creator! This tool is preinstalled!

    So after you have created a successfully recovery disk, you can try to delete the folder from the HARD drive. But to be honest, I don t recommend this I want to say that this folder can be very useful in the future in case something goes wrong with your system

    However, I think that you cannot delete it because you don t have permission to admin
    You can try to disable UAC first
    Disable UAC is as easy as start > run > msconfig > tools > disable UAC > Ok.

  • System Restore (with backup) for Windows XP how to restore the files from here?

    I saw the other posts for this but they have not answered the question. When I look in the C drive, and open the folder backup (backup C:\My--01/12/23 1134 AM), my photos, videos and documents are not available or are invisisble. When I tried to make hidden files visible, all my desktop icons and all the Start Menu program buttons disappear. I can see the files when I search with a software such as jdiskreport - 1.4.0, but I'm unable to move with this program. When I tried to move them with jdisk... they is locked in the tree of files of jdiskreport. Whenever these trees of missing or file icons has locked, I had to restore to the good previous restore point. In my view, the full restoration of the system (with backup) fails and should be avoided at all costs.

    So, if someone knows a way to access these files, I would appreciate the help of course. And please, no answers don't like "cannot not you just copy and paste?" because it is not currently a solution until the files are visible without erasing my desktop and the Start Menu.

    Hello

    Select the advanced restore options to restore the files. See the steps in the following article.

  • Can not read the files on hard drive

    I bought a new computer with Windows 7.  My old computer running Windows XP and has a virus which disabled permanently.  I want to recover the files from the old drive to the new hard disk.  I removed the hard drive from the old computer and put it in the new computer.  The new computer recognized and named E: drive.  However, Windows Explorer shows "this folder is empty".   But when I look at the properties of the drive E:, it shows that the old hard drive is 40% full.  Why is it impossible to see the files in Windows Explorer?  And how can this problem be fixed?

  • Import from SD card does not store the files on hard drive, but only references to SD card after import.

    Hi - for some reason, files of my card SD imported into lightroom, but referencing only the SD itself card and as files within the usual on my macintosh HD library, of course, when I eject the SD of my iMac, lightroom do not know where the files are more. I tried to delete LR and re-import but the same thing happened. I also saved the DCIM folder on desktop and tried to import from there, but again, it is important files directly to my address in LR, which means that I have to keep my SD card. I use LR for a while and this is the first time that this has happened. I imported the files to another SD card later and everything worked as it should. I really want to make sure that my original files are where they should be on the hard disk and in LR, so I can safely eject my card and not to lose my files. Can someone tell me how to go about this please?

    When you perform the import, you must select the COPY option, and under the Destination on the side right, you must select a location on one of your hard drives.

  • Cannot open the files from the shared network drive

    Hi, I am trying to open a file located on a server of storage attached to the network in a shared drive. When I try to open the file in Photoshop CC 2014 directly or by double-clicking in the file Explorer, I get a pop-up box in Photoshop that says that the image of CR2 is not the right kind of document. If I copy the file to another USB drive attached, the file opens correctly in Camera Raw.

    This will give you tangentially more insight in the work through a network to NOT be supported by Adobe:

    This is the standard text often used for saving to a network (NOTE the part where he explains that normally, it works, but it is impossible to solve someone else on the network remotely, and that's why he didn't is not supported by Adobe):

    If you open files on a network, or saved on a network server, please cease and desist immediately in the case where you currently have problems with one or more files. On a network is not supported.

    See:

    http://kb2.Adobe.com/CPS/406/kb406793.html

    Copy the local file CLOSED your server hard disk, work on it, again to save it on your local hard drive, close it and copy the closed file on the server.
     
    Of course, the fact that Adobe does not support work on a network does not necessarily mean that it doesn't work.  It should be.

    Adobe position is that there are too many variables in a network environment for them to ensure that everything will work properly in all systems, particularly in view of the fact that that something will not work properly, it is probably the fault of the network, and Adobe has no way of troubleshooting of your network.

    If you are unable to work locally, you are yourself, and if something happens, you're on your own. If you work from a server, make sure that your network administrator is a competent professional.

    When problems arise, much valuable work can be lost.

    Hello

    Yes if you format the drive it erases it's clean. Did you put the drive in the computer as the 2nd disc
    If the computer still starts off the coast of its original disk? It's easier to do on a desktop.

    You can save your files by putting the drive in another computer as a 2nd disk (best) or external
    Drive USB enclosure and then backup to removable media such as CD, DVD or another USB
    readers. Of course a real store of the computer or the manufacturer of your system can help to recover the files.

    Or you can use a boot Ubuntu CD to back up data. (This can be done with the player in the)
    original laptop. If the drive is viable (not totally dead).

    The reader might have been damaged and may not be easily accessible. There are professional
