• Disk utility can't repair the disk

  I wish I had my vintage iMac (2007) repaired if it is worth... I have this message when you try to use: disk utility can't repair the disk. File system check exit code is 8. Problem with the disk partition EFI system partition file system with a mount point is needed Please HELP! Is it useful to have repaired? Thank you!

  Is there something on the drive on which you need to recover or save? Otherwise boot from your installation disks and repartition and format the drive. Be aware that this will WIPE the Drive. Make a partition using the schema GUID and put it into Mac OS Extended journaled. You can replace the disk of herd yourself if necessary than to pay someone to do it... for me that's not worth.

• CyberLink recovery disk utility: can not burn to disc when you try the recovery computer

  Hi all

  Recently, my hard drive on my HP Pavilion p6674y was wiped out. I have a new hard drive installed in the computer. I created my own recovery DVDs when I bought the computer first. I started with the recovery discs and all was well until about 70% (on the 2 CD at this stage of 3) and then I got an error "0xe0ef000e.

  I then did some research and have ordered the discs of recovery from HP and then saw that I must download and burn to disc recovery disks Cyberlink utility so that the discs work. I have serious problems this CD to burn. I followed the instructions and when it is to the burning time of the installation wizard CD does not burn. It says on the wizard I'm full and there is a 'yes' 'no' and the button "Cancel". When I hit Yes the computer I currently use just restarts. I then try the disc (even if I can say that it's always empty) in my Pavilion and the checkmark never comes to the top.

  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

  Help, please.

  Thank you

  Hello:

  This utility is not absolutely necessary.

  You only need if the HP recovery discs do not work on your new hard drive.

  I tried to run the file on Windows 8 and it wrong, then I won't be able to help you with that.

  While you wait for your drives HP recovery plant to arrive, you can make your own plain W7 installation media and use that to install W7, so at least you can use your PC.

  Here is how to do this.  My only review of the instructions is not to activate W7, unless you want to. Just skip entered the product key from the COA Microsoft sticker on your PC case.

  You have 30 days to use the program without activating it.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below. Download the Windows 7 version that is on your product (Home Premium, professional or ultimate) key to apply.  SP1 Refresh of media files are the latest ISO files.

  http://forums.mydigitallife.info/threads/14709-Windows-7-Digital-River-direct-links-multiple-languag...

  Use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. The link below. You need a DVD or a 4 GB flash drive using the USB compilation method.

  Use the product key of windows 7 of 25 characters to activate your installation.

• Disk utility can not create large image of drive (60 GB) on the network share

  Disc Utiity (Versie 15.0 (1511.3)):

  I am creating a disc from a hard disk image. I want to save the image on a Synology DS414 network share.

  The share is accessible a there is no active disk quota.

  I copied a large file via Finder (384 MB) to the \\partagereseau that works.

  When I try to record a copy of disk sharing (60 GB), I get the following message:

  Unsatisfactory area is available on "(null)" to create the NAME of diskimage. Choose another volume with at least 60 GB of available space and continue.

  Summary: I can create large files on the share, but the disc utilities cannot?

  Greetings Wim

  384 MB is nowadays is no longer considered to be a file of "big."

  You don't mention how much space is actually available on the Synology but for arguments sake, we will assume that more than 60 GB of space is available.

  So in theory it should be possible to create a disk image of 60 GB (no doubt), there is enough space available. As you say there is no set of storage quotas and I'm happy to believe that. I think that the issue could be more to do with the maximum allowed size of the file, remember that I mentioned that 384 is actually not much, although some systems have a limit of 4 GB for a single file, for example FAT32 file systems have such a limit. In theory the FAT32 limit should not apply here because almost all including Synology NAS servers actually use Linux as the underlying software and so use Ext3 or Ext4 as file system, not FAT32. Same Ext2 a fortiori Ext3 or Ext4 allowing individuals will produce up to 2 TB of size which is clearly much larger than 60 GB.

  Still it could be related to that question even if it is necessary as an unnecessary and artificial limit may be for example to ensure compatible with other systems using FAT32.

  If you have enough space on the Mac, you could create and try to copy on the Synology, however another approach which is probably better all around is to create a "sparsebundle disk image. It's a disc image, but another type and will work around this problem because it is in fact made up of lots of all small files attached together. As that user do you see this as image a big drive, but the computer sees it as a folder full of files much smaller.

• Disk space low recovery partition - how to stop the useless error messge?

  I get the disk space error message off to a recovery partition. (Drive D)

  Yes - the partition is full, but I'm never going to delete files from it. NEVER!

  How to make the error message not pop for this partition? It's boring. And it keeps popping up again and again.

  OK - I realized for me how to disable the error message - but this disables it for all readers is not a satisfactory long-term solution.

  1. click on the icon of the little triangle that represents the hidden icons
  2. click on customize
  3. find the icon of the disk space low Windows explore and change it to "Hide icon and notifications".

  It sounds like this works - it should - but I noticed that EVERY TIME is to watch the Customization screen, it automatically returns to the default value and you have to change it again.

  But - this is a TEMPORARY AND UNSATISFACTORY solution because...
  a. it turns notification for all readers - not only the recovery one.
  b. it does not disable waste clock cycles used for control of the car - this is what is needed - an option to DISABLE them searching for a specific disk/partition.

  MICROSOFT - are you reading this?

• How to increase partition size Windows 8 main drive (C :)

  I upgraded my PC from XP to windows 8 online.

  I never had the ability to change my partition sizes.

  Windows 8 consumes 20GB of disk space more then XP.

  So now I'm running out of storage.

  Currently I have a 1 TB drive... 100 GB primary and 900 GB of data.

  How can I change the primary C: to 200 GB?

  Thank you

  You will need to use a third-party tool to do this.

  Two of the most popular seem to be (the two free BTW):

• Disk utility was unable to repair the Time Machine USB2 external HARD disk partition?

  Hello.

  My client has problem with its USB2 500 GB Seagate FreeAgent Go since early 2010. There 2 partitions: FAT32 and HFS (for most Time Machine backups). After connection and enter its password valid successfully, it takes a minute to set up, and then a message that says "OS X cannot repair the «...» "You can still open or copy the files on the disk, but you cannot save changes to the files on the disc. Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can. "I ran disk with their verification utility. Both are problems with "invalid sibling link" and said the repair option. However, this repair option is grayed out.  So, is it not possible to fix it with free software on the disk except for the reformat?

  I used two different 15 "MacBook Pro (Mac OS X v10.8.5/Mt. mid-2012 lion and v10.10.5/Yosemite of the early 2013) with the same results, is not the MacBook Pros. http://imgur.com/a/OW0s6 for a couple screen
  s (shooting/capture) of Mac OS X v10.10.5/Yosemite. I also tried disk on its FAT32 partition checks, and found minor problems. They were repairable too unlike the encrypted HFS partition.

  Thank you in advance.

  Disk utility can't repair an error of invalid sibling link. You use Disk Warrior that assuming that the disk is always good. Otherwise, you will need to save what you can then reformat the hard drive. Exactly what the error message said.

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• EL Capitan - impossible to resize the partition in disk utility

  I'm having a problem with resizing the partition of my drive (background: I have 2 partitions, 350g for mac and 150g for bootcamp) I want to resize the mac one in order to free up space.

  in normal startup, disk utility tells me target disk is too small. startup recovery, he says 'successful' but nothing happens.

  any tips?

  See this topic Support of Apple

  Disk utility (El Capitan): partitioning a physical disk

  'Expand volume '.

  If you have several volumes on a device, and one of them is running out of space, you will be able to expand without losing the files it contains.

  To enlarge a volume, you must delete the volume that comes after him on the device, and then move the end point of the volume you want to enlarge in the freed space. You cannot expand the last volume on a device. »

• 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.

• What is the color of the bar in disk utility?

  Using disk utility, I ran a check on my main HD and my three external drives.

  The S.M.A.R.T. status of my main HD has been "verified". External drives were 'not supported '. I guess that means that Dick Utility is unable to "verify".

  What concerns me is the color of the bar above the chart. On my main HD and two of my external hard drives, it is blue (see picture #1). However, on an external drive, it is red (see photo #2).

  I can't find any information on the color of the bar in the Apple Help. The reader has a bit more than 33% available force and seems to work correctly in

  to access the media. Do you have any idea what this could mean?

  Thank you

  Philippe

  You can see all partitions on your hard drive in this bar, and each color represents a partition. Knowing this, don't worry because this does not mean that your external drive is not working properly.

• Disk utility says Everything is Fine, when it's not

  I am trying to understand what the point of disk utility. I checked (several times) my boot drive (SSD) and a second internal HARD disk, disk utility says it all goes well and nothing in need of repair. Meanwhile, I can say drives are certainly * not * ok since I get poor system performance, and the HARD disk is sprayed randomly when I access/copy some files.

  I went and got the SMART utility and Disk Warrior, SMART utility written my boot drive is FAILING and my HARD drive has FAILED.

  I am now under DW on it, but I'm pretty annoyed that utility disk is essentially useless to see if there are problems with the discs...

  Disk utility and disk warrior can only repair the files in the directory, they are unable to repair a disk that is physically / mechanically failing.

• USB drive will not appear in the finder, but is OK in disk utility

  My "music backup" external USB 1 TB SSD showed in the Finder, until a few days ago, when he disappeared. I tried dismantling and Assembly of the command line. The said command-line editing is successful, but I still don't see the drive in Finder.

  If I go into disk utility "First aid" reports no problem. The drive is formatted for OS X.  If I right click and say "Open in the Finder" I can see all the folders and even drag in the sidebar where they work, even after a reboot. I can't see the drive at a higher level.

  How can I fix it? I guess a solution would be to create a folder called "Music disc" and then move all files on the disc in it and then put it on the sidebar, but it seems silly. How can I get my hard drive appears again in the finder.

  PS Si I use a third-party file manager, such as ordering a PRO, the USB drive is available for selection in the drop-down list of disks attached.

  Help!

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:

  the shell script ' chflags nohidden ' / Volumes/VolumeName /'.

  put the name of the drive where is VolumeName.

• error message on disk utility

  I have OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.2.  I tried to open disk utility to perform repairs because I get the message error 'you cannot use the "Disk Utility.app" application with this version of Mac OS X. You have a 'Disk Utility.app"11.1. "How can I get to work disk utility?

  I am trying to run the utility disk to see if it needs repairs because when I try to save a word document I get another pop up "Word has insufficient memory." He asks me if I want to save the document under failback.   If I click on Yes, I receive another message which reads "Word cannot save...".  Please close a window"and so on.

  I would appreciate any advice to one of these messages.

  If you run El Capitan, then you have chosen the wrong version of disk utility. You need one that would be installed by El Capitan. If you run Yosemite, and then you attempt to start the El Capitan. In my view, 11.1 is the version of Yosemite. Check on the Mac to check that you are running El Capitan. If you are, then you must reinstall so you will have its own version of disk utility.
