Disk utility cannot create image

• 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> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part
  
  Partition ### Type Size Offset
  
  ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
  
  Partition 1 Reserved 128 MB 17 KB
  
  Partition 2 Primary 1267 GB 129 MB 
  
  DISKPART>
  

  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.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  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.

• Saellite U920T - cannot create image Refresh

  Hello

  I have a U920T with 8.1 x 64 and a history of BSOD.
  For the second time, I had to use my backup image and re - install everything.

  8.1 for Windows has the ability to create a custom refresh image.
  But when I run the recimg.exe statement, I have a with "entry point not found" error with migcore.dll.

  Does anyone know how to create this image of refreshment.
  From my research on the internet, it seems that there is a problem with Toshiba laptops...

  Thank you
  Loïc

  Hello

  > But when I run the recimg.exe statement, I have a with "entry point not found" error with migcore.dll.

  I read that this migcore.dll error if you try to restore the image of Win Win 8.1 8 running system
  I read in the Microsoft forum that function recovery image which appeared in the Win 8 system has been changed by the upgrade to 8.1 Win.

  If in case you try to restore the laptop to a point of time in the beginning, I recommend you to use the image created in the system Win 8.1

• Satellite MX35X: Atheros Client Utility cannot create or edit profiles

  Atheros Client Ultility all is greyed out. Don't create or edit profiles. On the profile management tab, eveyrthing is grayed out. Any ideas?

  I try to establish a wireless connection for my Satellite MX35x and have just changed ISP to AOL, if that helps. I tried updating the drivers and that you have also reinstalled the Client Utility from the recovery disc.

  I'm stuck!

  Hi Graeme

  I don t use the Atheros Client Utility and I put t know exactly how it works, but a similar problem happened on my laptop WLan connection with different tools.

  I think all options in the Atheros utility are dimmed because the WLan connection setup will be done by Windows operating system.

  Therefore, you should check first if the option use Windows to configure my network wireless in wireless network connection properties is disabled. If this is not the case, do it!

• How could resize this partition in disk utility? (see image)

  I want to resize the partition selected, but I can't drag it to the bottom.  Any way to resize?

  

  Your screen capture, you must delete the partition OSX 10.9. The space would be free and you can then develop your OS x 10.10 partition or create a new one from the free space. The only one of these two who seem to be able to resize is the OSX 10.9 partition because it has the grab bar (lower-right) and free space further to slide down.

• create image disk without unused space

  Hello

  I don't find any response to this question except what makes a blank image with utility app and drag-and - drop the files but I can't imagine there is not a better solution to create a disk without unused space image. I turn with SD card a lot and need to backup these discs without unused space. Is there a solution?

  Thank you if you have an idea

  Samuel

  If you create a disc from a device image, it won't take as much space being * used * on this unit, not the total capacity of the card.

  In disk utility, file-> new Image-> < device name > Image

• Creating image using disk utility

  Hi - I am trying to create an image file of and CD Audo to later burn multiple copies (I own the rights on this CD).

  The process I use is to load the CD in the drive SuperDrive, open disk utility and select the disk in the sidebar (curiously, the drive itself is not there, just the disk). Can I go to file = > new Image == > Audio CD Image. Select a destination, Format: unalterable, encryption: no) and click Save.

  He done much work slowly disk reading and writing of the file (Audio CD.dmg). However, if I try to open the file when it has finished, it said "no mountable file system" and if I burn it to a CD - r disc resulting almost blown my speakers with the sound. To check, I tried with a commercial CD as well - same result.

  I'm doing something wrong here. He doesn't know he used to work in previous versions of the utility.

  System: Mac Pro early 2008 OS X Superdrive Pioneer (original Apple) El Capitan 10.11.5.

  Hello

  There is a little powerful 3rd party app called 'Burn '. Older applications, it's works well in El Capitan as well. If you decide to download and install, you will need to go to preferences > Security and privacy to allow him permission to run for the first time. After that, he will not ask you again. It is simple and easy. Create .iso and burn. Create and burn data/audio CDs and copy CDs as well. There are a few 3rd party applications which are worthy of Mac, and this one is. The name of it, is once again, 'Burn '.

  Bravo!

• Cannot create disk image writable, case-sensitive on El Capitan

  Hi all

  It is my first time posting, so bear with me, pls if this seems to be a stupid question.

  I tried to create a HFS disk image + case-sensitive (logged) on my MacBook (early 2015 model. OSX El Capitan 10.11.2).

  The goal is to build Android AOSPS (according to the website of the AOSPS, case-sensitive file system is required).

  But so far, I was not able to successfully create a desired image (sensitive to case AND write).

  With "Disk utility", I was able to create an image in writing (i.e. when mounted, the file system is read/write) but not case sensitive.

  Why is "Disk utility" unable to do so because it provides even an option for "logging case-sensitive HFS +?

  Then I tried to use "hdiutil create" tool command-line (based on the results of online research), which has succeeded in creating case-sensitive, but read-only images (i.e. when mounted, file system is read-only).

  I tried different combinations of "-format ' & '-fs ' options, but nothing seems to work so far.

  With the help of 'hdiutil convert' does not help.

  All opinions are appreciated.

  Thanks in advance!

  This is a bug. The solution is to clear the disk image mounted in disk utility, choose HFS case-sensitive like the format.

• . Help copying images - "cannot create or replace family photos. Access is denied.

  When I try to copy pictures from my computer to a Lexar removable I get this message. "Cannot create or replace family photos. Access is denied. Make sure that the disk is not full or write protected and this file is not currently in use. Please help, but keep it simple that I am barely computer literate

  Just a guess... but maybe you copied too
  files in the directory root of the card. (Root directory
  simply means level 1 with no folder)

  Remove files from the media, and then try again.

  For example I just tested a 1 GB SD card and the
  maximum number of files I can copy to the root
  Directory is 180. If I add a file more I get a dialog box
  who says: "cannot copy IMG_4321; The directory
  or file cannot be created. And if I try to add a file
  before removing a file to make room for it... I have
  Get the following message: "unable to create the folder.
  "New folder" failed to create the directory or file.

  If I make space by deleting files and add empty
  files to the card... I can copy as many files as I have
  here in the files (up to the limit of memory of)
  the card).

  I don't know if you noticed but most digital
  Cameras to create folders with 100 photos per folder.
  They do not image files in the root directory
  of the card.

• Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support

  Original title: error reading from a photo cd

  Error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD. The disk has been created in a way that the player does not support"when the disc is inserted into the PC HP Touchsmart yet he plays on the laptop.  Help please

  Hello

  (1) what is the file format of the photos on the CD?

  (2) you are able to play another CD/DVD on this computer?

  (3) have you made recent changes to the computer before the show?

  (4) is it a Blu - ray disc?

   

  Install the codec for Blu - Ray. Your Blu - ray player should have come with a medium containing the codec. You can also use your favorite search engine and free research Blu - ray codec.
  The Blu - ray disc format is not supported in Windows Media Player. To play a Blu - ray disc, you must use a non-Microsoft program that supports Blu - ray playback and a device that can play Blu - ray discs.

  If you have a program that supports Blu - ray, then I suggest you to use the Troubleshoot utility and check for the issue.

  You can try the following methods and check if it helps.

  Method 1: Play a CD or DVD in Windows Media Player

• Can I create a recovery bootable USB through disk utility?

  My HARD drive is dying, I can't access my Macintosh HD partition anymore and I can't reinstall OS because I SMART errors. Before the format and reinstall the attempt to load slow my computer, random errors, etc. So I definitely think that the HARD drive is near death. My plan is to replace my HDD for a Virgin SSD, I perform this task several times on computers of the victory but for MAC, I wonder how I will load the new OS. Can I make a bootable USB with the recovery partition, but on a USB key tools? Unofrtunately I have more available Mac to create the USB bootable through itunes.

  My computer is the MacBook Pro (13-inch mid 2010), I have also all original packaging somewhere, if there is a CD that I can use, I certainly can get too.

  Any advice?

  Thank you!

  Apple have this to do a USB installation...

  Create an installer for OS X - Apple support bootable

  Another option is to use the diskmakerx.com application

  You must have the OS installer downloaded to make these methods of work is probably not practice on your failed drive.

  Both of these options are to run a 'normal' operating system too. The recovery partition is not 'normal '.

  Another option is to use the Internet recovery mode if your Mac supports...

  Computers that can be upgraded to use OS X Internet Recovery - Apple Support

  On macOS recovery - Apple Support

  Use wired ethernet for best results, since it will download a bootable OS & then download the installer of the OS also.

  I suspect you have the update of the firmware installed to add this feature if it has been updated over the last 3 years

  You may be able to generate a score of alternative recovery to another disk (such as a USB key) If you want to just "compensation of base OS.

  OS X: on Recovery Disk Wizard - Apple Support

  A last solution would be to clone your drive failing on an external drive (or use the new SSD in a proper case). That can be done in the modes of recovery via disk utility. Basically, you use a feature to "restore" to clone one volume to another. (I don't see clear instructions for the moment so ask if you want to pursue this option).

• 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.
