  • Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

    Why Windows 7 displays an incorrect amount of free disk space / used on my DVD - RW drive?

    Windows 7 can show the incorrect amount of free and used space in serious DVD - RW or DVD + RW media properties.  After burning data on the disk, Windows 7 could show that there are 0 bytes of used space and free space available on the disk capacity.  In reality, the amount of used and free space on the disk is reversed.

  • external hard drive is not displayed in disk utility

    I have a drive (2 TB) seagate desktop external hard, while the backup time machine HDD power adapter was pulled from the socket. Now the hard drive is not recognized (both on the utility disk and office) of my mac pro book works on os x el capitan, seeing the hard drive is disabled, but I can feel and hear the operation of the hard drive. Also when I hang up my iMac running os x yosemite on the hard drive can be used and seems to work very well.

    I tried to reformat the hard disk, but it has failed it is still not recognized on my mac pro book

    Hello amartnez,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    From your post, I see that your drive external hard seagate was pulled from the socket during backup with Time Machine, and now it is not recognized by your MacBook Pro. I know how it is important to ensure that you are able to connect your external drive to your Mac. I have something I want you to try.

    Because the external hard drive seems to be working on another computer (iMac), please try a different USB port on your MacBook Pro and see if it recognizes the external hard drive on the desktop and in disk utility. If so, that means you have a problem with this specific USB port on the MacBook Pro.

    See you soon!

  • Make the disk image using disk utility and the message "Apple_HFS: 0" is displayed

    I'm doing a disk image to try to work on that later. This is an image of a failed disk drive. Some areas can only be read, I know and the process takes a long time because of this, so I'm willing to be patient.

    I get messages in the disk utility window that says "Apple_HFS: 0" and "Creation of image xxxx.dmg.

    The disc has about 700 GB. I started it about 20 hours ago, and the blue bar is about 5% of the way, so not much happened.

    I fear that the message "Apple_HFS: 0" means that the disk image is not made. I am concerned about the part "0". I don't know what that means.

    I don't want to do it for days and days and find that there not to make a disc image all this time.

    I realize that the fact that the external drive is damaged (probably damage) means that this process will take longer than normal. I am willing to leave it for a week so that he can make a disk image. But not more than a week because then it is not worth my time.

    So my question is: does the message ' Apple_HFS: 0 "means something bad, or that the message normally during this procedure?

    Apart from this message and the message "Xxxx.dmg imaging", there is no other message.

    I think I'm making progress because the bar has moved since I started the process. For a long time I couldn't see a bar at all. And today, after spending the night, there is a small bar, as I said, about 5% complete. But it's very slow. It would take at least a week for the disk image to be made. I just want to know if the messages that I see are normal or not.

  • 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.

  • SAMSUNG SSD 850evo cannot be read on the disk utility

    My macbook pro 13 "mid-2012 has been very slow (20-minute boot) for the past month, so I quickly looked for a cure and thought I have a failing hard drive.

    I bought a Samsung 850 Evo 250 gb to replace the failed drive. Following the useful tutorials on youtube, I managed to install the ssd in my macbook pro. However, when I use the recovery of internet to install OS X on the ssd, ssd seem does not appear is not in the list of drives available in disk utility.

    Can someone help me why it does not appear in the disk utility?

    Get out the SSD drive, install it in an enclosure, connect it to the MBP via USB.  Install the original HARD disk and start the MBP.  Open disk utility and make sure that the SSD is displayed.  If so, you can format it and clone the content for the SSD from the internal HARD drive, if you wish.

    However, when you install the SSD drive and if it does not start the MBP, indicating that internal SATA cable needs to be replaced.

    If the SSD does not appear in the disk utility when it is connected to the outside, then that indicates that the SSD is defective.

    Ciao.

  • 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).
