• 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.

• Back to my mac: get the files from hard drive

  Background: I tried to copy files from an external hard drive to iCloud. I didn't have no idea of back to my Mac has been verified (or even existed). When I dragged the files to iCloud it copied but it fills my iMac's hard drive. I need this 70 GB of available disk space.

  I disabled the back to my Mac and free memory in the iMac icon box is up GB 0.01 every 15 minutes. At this rate, I'll get an answer to this question before I know if it is significant or not.

  Question: Where are these files on my iMac drive? Are these files on my iMac drive? I can not find them. If they are there, they disappear or I have their garbage?

  Thank you.

  If their trash, they will be deleted to iCloud. Check your document mobile/library username.

  Go to Finder and select your user folder. With this Finder window as the windshield, select Finder/display/display options for presenting or order - J.  When the display options opens, check "show the library folder. This should make your visible user library folder in your user folder.  Select the library.

• To access the files on hard drive

  I have an external hard drive that I can't access to and open files in the folder on my desktop. It gives me the error message: access is denied. I can open the files on my laptop. My desktop is running xp and my laptop runs 7. All of the suggestions. I'll be able to use the hard drive turned blue between the two computers?

  Hi DonaldBeard,

  You use the Welcome screen to connect?, log out of your user account, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE (without + all simultaneously twice) you will get the classic login screen, enter your username as administrator and type your password. If you set no password try blank password. You should be able to connect.

  I hope this helps.

• 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.

• Need info on the type of hard drive inside USB 1282E device - 1 12

  Hello

  I want to know what type of hard drive interface inside this external USB (ATA/IDE) device and which hard drive is hidden inside.

  Thank you
  Volker

  Hello Volker

  I wonder just who should have this info. This info is probably available in some non-public documents. You have this HARD drive?

  To be honest this number doesn't help much. Did you check in Google? No results at all.
  Are you sure the description of the HARD drive?

• Need to test the broken laptop hard drive but has strange adapter

  I have a Compaq NX7400 and the screen is broken. I want to test the hard drive to see if that works, but it has a weird card. Does anyone know if it emerges because I can then put it in a laptop from work to see if it works?

  This works. This is the main interface. It's called SATA... it has replaced the old interface IDE brass pin about 8-10 years ago. That the hard drive can be connected to a desktop computer with an open SATA data port and adapter and SATA power adapter; right interface is identical to a SATA desktop hard drive.

• 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.

  Hello

  For any problem with the help of the recovery Partition that has been copied to the hard disk by the computer manufacturer, you must contact them.

  This recovery process is the manufacturer, not Microsoft.

  ________________________________________________

  You never told us why you wanted to do a restore. If you had serious errors and the recovery process does not work, you will have hardware problems. BUT we're only guessing at this stage due to lack of information to help you.

  See you soon.

• Need manual for the p6226f Pavilion, hard drive failure possible

  Hello, all. I was given just a Pavilion p6226f who was on his way to recycling when the friend thought of me. Now, if I can fix it, it's mine. I don't have any information yet, or manuals. I know he has Windows 7 on it, but that's all. My questions:

  1. I tried to find a manual, but couldn't find one yet. They are downloadable on this site?

  2. where can I find a list of key functions F which uses HP? They are standard (and standards still exist)? Total noob here.

  3 HP integrates a function of recovery on a partition on their readers?

  4. could you recommend a guide to troubleshooting somewhere that I can follow?

  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:

  KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
  Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >

  to read the key out of your old system.

  Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.

• 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.

• iTunes displays films than in the clouds, but hard drive displays 99 GB of movies

  I need to remove movies from my hard drive in order to clarify certain spaces. I just want that they stored in the cloud. iTunes shows as only in the cloud, but my computer says that I have 99 GB of movies on my hard drive...

  How can I delete the files to clear space on my hard drive? Where are stored the files on my computer?

  Your iTunes library is stored by default on a Mac under:

  / Users/username/music

  If movies will show in the cloud for redownloading will depend on if the rightsholder of them removes the store (any item can be deleted from the store for any article), and if you move the country after buying them - if it is not already, then you should be keep and maintain your own backup copy of all the download iTunes that you might want in the future , and do not rely on them remaining in the store.

• Cursor flashing at the start of the system and hard drive not working do not on the other computer

  Original title: I need help with my Hardrive

  Recently I had problems with a hard disk of computers. So I'm going to give guys the full story, I fell on this computer, it's actually my mums computer and it had a blue screen at startup error. I'm sorry, but I don't remember that the error was called on the top of my head, basiclly I quikly searched online and alll they say should use fixboot. So I did and the computer booted Windows XP very well. So the next day, when I was starting the machine (just to let you know, it would be the first start since I used fixboot, other than the right after that, I don't know if it would make a difference).

  In any case, while trying to start, there was just a slider, or as underscore that retain just flashing in top left corner. I thought that maybe I should reinstall windows on another partition so my files would be safe. I did it, the installation program had no problem with it, but when I booted up I got the same line of flashing underscore / cursor in the upper left corner.

  I thought that maybe I should back up the hard drive using my other computer so I tried to plug in the hardrive in my work computer and the hardrive started to heat up and as if it worked but any hardrive was getting into my computer, I refreshed it, started the computer upward once again, nothing.

  So my question is what is the problem with this hardrive and how I save? I'm ready to do anything, use the live CD, using another computer. I have precious moments of family on the hardrive.

  Thank you guys

  Hi Joemost,

  As you have important data on the hard drive. We recommend that you contact the vendor of hard drive to diagnose hard drive or visit the nearest tech store to save your data.

  There are chances that the boot files are missing on the computer and also you could have not connected the hard drive as a slave when you connected to the other computer. Once you have saved the data, you can repair the existing windows and check if it starts successfully.

  Try these steps to repair install Windows XP:
  a. start the computer using the XP CD. You may need to change the boot order in the BIOS OF THE system for the CD starts before the hard drive.
  b. on the "Welcome" screen, press ENTER to start the installation of Windows.
  c. accept the license agreement and Windows will search for existing installations of Windows.
  d. Select the XP installation you want to repair in the list, press R to start the repair.
  e. the installation program copies the necessary files to the hard disk and restart.  Do not press any key to boot from CD when the message appears. Setup will continue as if it were a clean install, but your applications and settings are preserved.
  f. when the installation is complete, check if Windows starts correctly.
