Disk utility reports hurt his stats in recovery mode

I have a 2 TB HD in my iMac which is only about 10% full.  Disk utility reports 1.81 TB free, just like in the finder get info tab.  My Time Machine backups are about 190 GB in size as well.  All of this is consistent.  When that I start by pressing command-R however, disk utility reports that the HD is full.

I bought a new SSD and that you want to replace with the SSD HD, so I need to restore to the SSD HD, then Exchange.  The SSD is only 500GB, then disk utility fails restore - he thinks that there is not enough room.

Anyone encountered this, or there at - it another way to clone the HD for the SSD?

I have a late 2009 iMac 11.1 El Capitan 10.11.6 running with an i7 2.8 and 12 GB of RAM and 2 TB HD.  (Originally, he arrived with Snow Leopard).

Thanks for any help.

I would like to give CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper a try.

  • Why Techtool and disk utility reports different SMART status?

  • Mac disk utility mini reports of failure of the SMART State

    I have a Mac mini that I bought 4-5 years ago and have been using it without any problem.

    However, yesterday when I try to wake my mac mini I get a black screen with only the cursor.

    I force turn off the system and restarted, and then use disk utility.

    I immediately noticed that the only partition of my Mac mini is highlighted in red, and the SMART status showing as failure.

    There is also a warning saying that my hard drive has a hardware problem that cannot be repaired and suggested to save all possible files.

    When I try to make the permissions and disk checks, all reports like OK.

    I'll do a backup in case where, but curious, it is always possible to use Time Machine to back up to this point?

    I also need to back up my settings browsers and programs if it is still possible. Any help is very appreciated.

  • 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).

  • Recovery gone HD and Bootcamp starts rained after the Mac HD reduction in disk utility

    With the help of El Capitan, mid-2012 17 "Unibody Macbook Pro Non-retine

    Hi, I am trying to disable SIP with csrutil but I can't use this method in the recovery mode. Why? I had a problem where I have narrowed my Macintosh HD partition in disk utility and now my Bootcamp partition became start older (data still there).

    I was going to fix the partition table that caused problems with the boot, but when I loaded the Recovery Mode the thing wouldn't start and cling to a completed loading bar (with the apple logo, it took a lot of time to get the bar too full).

    So, I deleted the recovery partition HD and reinstalled OSX to retrieve. Problem is, he does not come back. Right now I have 4 partitions - disk0s1 is EFI disk0s2 is Macintosh HD disk0s3 is Untitled (free space), disk0s4's Bootcamp.

    Is it possible to UN-mess-up my hard drive without losing data? Sorry!

    The way is to not lose data have a current backup plan in place.  How to create a clone of startup

    SIP is the Protection of the integrity of the system and is a security featutre is not supposed to be cancelled esp of the 'system' you are primed to which would frustrate the object, so it must be done in an another boot drive - in your case.

    Your best bet is maybe to start int Internet recovery - this is done by now the keys option command R to reboot.  And go from there.

  • I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility.

    I have a Macbook pro (2011 model). It gets stuck on the start screen on to half way through commissioning. This happens whenever the mac turns on. The problem is solved when I reinstall Yosemite to boot to Recovery Mode disk utility. However, the next time you start, the startup process is blocked to halfway to new (on the screen with the toolbar and the status of apple). I want a more permanent solution to reinstall the operating system every time. Would appreciate someone's suggestions and thanks in advance.

    Replace your hard drive.

    You have a backup of trust? If not, buy a disc of exterrnal for that as well.

    The progress bar from the left end at the beginning of the commissioning indicates that your drive has been so damaged, it could not be mounted. Five minutes of progress bar is shown as it does the equivalent of disk utility (ERD [Directory]). If you have reinstalled several times and the problem is not fixed, your drive is in solid form.

  • Samsung EVO850 plus disk Util is not smart

    HI -.

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 "late 2011, for which I bought a 1 to Samsung EVO 850 SSD."  I want to replace the internal MacHD with the SSD.

    I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.  Using disk utility I erased the SSD and reformatted using OSX journaled Extended.  The process took seconds to complete.  However when I check the S.M.A.R.T. status on the SSD TO THE shows 'not supported '.  Also (probably part of the same problem) - if I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block.

    -What is the problem?  I don't know that this EVO 850 is compatible with this MBP.  Disk utility is quite simple.  But the result is not SMART.  Did I miss a step?  How can I reformat this SSD to support the Smart function.

    TIA your entry,

    Josh

    -What is the problem?

    The only thing wrong with what you mentioned is your understanding of it. everything works as expected.

    I have the external SSD drive hooked to the MBP using a StarTech USB2 for SATA docking station.

    in general, docking stations, in individuals and external drives do not support SMART status.

    Smart seemed like a good idea when it was invented, but it fell away, far from being useful. It indicates usually that your reader has a hard time AFTER that the car exploded. Or he reports that your drive is about to die, three years before his actual death.

    If I try to restore the MacHHD on the SSD, I get the message "the restore process failed" and "volume of the Source is read-write and cannot be disassembled, so it cannot be copied from block".

    You cannot copy the Volume Mac OS X is running to use the copy of disk utility that is on the Source Volume. Disk utility insists the drive mounted, so that no one else has the ability to change the contents of the disc while you are copying. You can't unmount the disk because Mac OS X is started from, so you cannot copy the path you want.

    If you want to make this copy, start under Recovery HD (which is another partition on your boot drive) and use the disk utility it. Then you can copy the Mac OS X Volume (but not the Volume of recovery HD, because it will be busy.

  • First aid disk utility

    I just ran disk utility first aid.  At the end he said "operation completed successfully" but just before which is has a few lines that I thought were unresolved.  Is this ok?

    It is not his success for me.   Is this ok? Do I need to do something.

    You want to update this.  As a beginner with this tech stuff, I thought I'd do first aid has been only when the computer is running.  I've since read that you run you reboot with 'command + R' starts upward.  Chose my hard drive, then ran the disk recovery and first aid to repair, he ran and repair the hard drive.  Then restart chose this screen, now is doing well!

  • Disk utility 15.0 has no way to stop the first aid

    On OS / X 10.11.4 on a MacBook Pro for mid-2014.   Utility disk 15.0 (1511.3).   But I've noticed this for a while.

    Once I start first aid, disk utility appears a small dialog box modal ["first aid running on '... "] of which there is no evacuation - short to kill the process, unplug the drive, or restart the machine.   This was not the case before an upgrade months ago.

    Since first aid on the large disks, in particular connected by USB 2.0, can take a long time, it's very embarrassing.

    All three exit opportunities (kill, remove, reboot) do not seem to run the risk of leaving the disk in a bad state - which is exactly the thing running first aid is supposed to solve, no question.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?   Or can direct me to the right place to submit a bug report?

    Thank you

  • Cloning of SSD HD via active with Filevault disk utility

    Hi all

    I want to improve my HD to SSD.

    I intend on using disk utility for recovery mode to clone my HD to a Virgin SSD I bought.

    I must, however, Filevault enabled on my HD.

    It will be a problem when it comes to cloning the drive?

    Thank you

    Adam

    No, it shouldn't be a problem. It may be necessary first turn on FileVault and encrypt the SSD. But if there is no problem just turn off FileVault on the HARD drive.

  • 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.

  • Internal HD not mounted and not disk utility

    Hi Mac community.

    I have an early 2008 Mac Pro with 4 internal drive bays.  For now, they are all busy with special various backup and storage drives.  One of my backup / storage drives (not my boot drive) does not appear as "mounted" on the desktop.  It does not also appear in the disk utility.  System information shows 'Unknown' for 3 Bay where the reader resides.  The missing disk is used to save another internal drive that stores the image files almost exclusively and is not a boot disk.  The missing disk is about 3-4 years of age and is called only in service for a few minutes a day when Super Duper asks it to do his homework, who will quickly backup.  In addition, Super Duper is not able to find the drive to back up either.

    I think one way to obtain the missing disk health trouble would close, exchanging one of the other disks in its place, restart and see if the drive and the system information utility recognize another drive in the Bay (#3) in question.  This way I know if I have a dead drive or if there is some other hardware problem associated with this Bay.

    This sounds like a good approach?  Are there other means within the system to check the status of the missing disk, (not start)?

    Thank you!  Mike

    Yes, it's an excellent course of action.

  • Disk utility cannot create image

    I am trying to create a new disk image encrypted to store sensitive files I get only when I need to use them/it.

    I can't get the disk utility to create a new image.  I use "File" > "New Image" > "Blank Image...". "If I leave all the settings in the pop missed up I get the error:"the operation failed with the State-5000.

    Ideally, I want to create an image that I will eventually burn on DVD; If I change the settings:

    "image Format" = ' CD/DVD Master '.

    "size:" = "4.6 GB (DVD-R DVD - RAM).

    "encryption:" = "128-bit AES encryption (recommended).

    I get the error: "the operation failed with the State 13.

    Anyone know what these errors?

    The volume I am creating the image is using safe.

    As far as I know,-5000 is the OS X value for a permissions access error. Check the location where you want to store your image is writable, and also there is enough free space. Try to create a smaller image to see if the free space is the problem. It might be interesting to try and 'first aid' on the right if the target disk.

  • Love at first sight and disk utility

    Hello

    With the old version of disk utility, I could start in the repair using the command + R section, click disk utility, and then copy my computer perfect HD over to another Mac connected via Thunderbolt and in target disk mode. This process took about 7 minutes. Is it possible to do it again? Use the migration wizard is not a viable option because it takes over 30 minutes to copy it to the users and applications and I have several computer at image Labs.

    You try to restore your hard drive to another on a target machine?     If so, you can always do this.   Reboot from Recovery HD and use disk utility.  To 1 restore another disc, you select 1st target drive.  Then on the Edit menu, select Restore.  Then in the drop-down list, select the source drive.  If you love at first sight, this should go pretty fast.
