Intel Mac :: HD Found Corrupt And Needs To Be Repaired - Install Disk Internal Or On CD?

Apr 17, 2012

I am having a very slow running iMac on snow leopard 10.6.8, and using disk utility, am being told the disk needs to be repaired.

Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk. The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.

Missing thread record (id = 1322757) Incorrect number of thread records
Invalid volume file count (It should be 880464 instead of 880473)

So I need to find my installation disk, and my question is: is this installation disk internal, somewhere within the iMac, or is in on a physical cd somewhere in my mess?

Info:
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), only 6GB free space

MacBook Pro :: "Invalid Block Count, Your Disk Is Corrupt And Needs To Be Repaired"

Mar 26, 2012

I seem to be getting an error message when i run Disk Utility, it says "Invalid Block Count, your disk is corrupt and needs to be repaired".  I then repair it using the Lion recovery disk and it repairs it. Maybe a month or so down the line it appears again I then do the same and the end result is the same, can anyone help with this as it is worrying me. Also is there any way you can get rid of the bad sectors in the HDD when problems appear?

Intel Mac :: Error: This Disk Needs To Be Repaired

Mar 11, 2012

Since a week or 3 my Imac is bleeping whenever the harddisk is put to work. Before this it was impossible to make a time machine copy, it would hang at a certain point. I recently did a disk utility scan which could not be finished (aborted by the system) as it was saying (translated from Dutch):  

"Volume-information being checked Wrong amount of free blocks on this volume (Has to be 38684126 in stead of 38684119)The volume 'Macintosh HD' is damaged and need to be repaired.Error: this disk needs to be repaired. Restart system with another disk (like Mac OS X-installdisk) and use disk utility to repair this disk." 

So I put the installdisk 1 in, but the Imac spits it out, refuses to start up in harddisk repair mode or any other mode at all. It just spits it out and starts as usual. Install disk 2 it doesnt spit out, but I can only open a read me file. Like said, the Imac works fine, except that it is guided by literaly hundreds of beeps in high and low, short and long. I feel like being at a supermarket having my items scanned. That is what it sounds like. It is quite vocal but annoying and seem to multiply every day. In the beginning it only did at start up just a few beeps, then it got more, and now it beeps also in sleep mode.  

I cannot do a disk repair, also not with the latest OS X update (snowleopard, since Lion is not working on my 1GB drive). I do notice though that the difference in this error code is getting bigger, it used to be just one block difference, now it is 7.    

Also I took the memory modules out yesterday and put them back in, as I heard this can also help get rid of the beeps. It did not solve anything at all.I can't find anything on this problem on internet, because all beep related topics are about the error codes for the RAM drives. These are not the same sounds.  Another attempt was to install the cms program to avoid overheating fans. Also no improvement.

Intel Mac :: Disk Warrior Reported A Damaged Resource Header That Cannot Be Repaired?

Jul 2, 2012

Disk Warrior reported a damaged resource header that cannot be repaired. The resource header is in an "older" file format (rsrc). I have been having fairly frequent freezes of the system and Disk Utility reporting a corrupted HD which Disk Unility is always able to repair and report the HD to be O.K. Could the damaged header be the cause of the freezes?  If so, can anything be done about it if Warrior says it cannot be repaired?

OS X Yosemite :: Corrupt Disk Is Not Repairing With Disk Utility

Disk Utility when I run verify says I need to reboot from the Repair Disk. I tried (twice) and it shows no problems. When I reboot normally, and run DU, I get the same error. Which result should I believe?? And is there a workaround? Using 10.10.1 / Air late 2011.

OS X :: Verify Disk - Volume Needs To Be Repaired

Jun 6, 2008

I'm not really sure what to do or what exactly is wrong. I'm hoping not to reboot or reinstall all together, but if I have to... I suppose there's no choice. I tried 'Verify Disk' from the utilities, but is fails and says

Invalid volume file count
(It should be 712836 instead of 712840)
Invalid volume directory count
(It should be 171417 instead of 171413)
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed.

I tried doing a 'Repair Disk' from the installation CD, but it says it fails because it could not unmount the HD.

MacBook Pro :: Disk Utility Says The Volume Needs To Be Repaired

Apr 24, 2012

On one of our MacBook Pros (Late-2011), running the latest OS X 10.7.3, Disk Utility says the volume needs to be repaired. When I use Disk Utility from the Recovery HD, it says the volume appears to be OK. I verified by using fsck in single-user mode, and it found no problems either. Which do I believe? Is this a sign of a soon-to-fail hard drive?

OS X Mavericks :: What Can Cause - False Disk Needs To Be Repaired - Message

Jul 1, 2014

when using OnyX or Disk First Aid, a message states to restart the computer, holding Command-R and to repair my disk.Every single time, the disk turns out to be OK. 

Question 1: Is this a false reading, or is the disk actually being fixed by the Control-R combination? 

Question 2: If it is NOT a false reading, since my programs don't crash and I always shut down properly, what could cause the errors?

Hardware :: Macbook Internal HD Not To Be Found... How To Set It

Jul 15, 2009

I've a Macbook that was running Tiger. The other day it froze, and on restart it couldn't find the startup disk. Tried to run Disk Utility but it didn't even see the disk. I tried the disk in a cradle on another computer but it wouldn't work.

So, I reasoned it was a fault with the drive. Bought a new Hitachi drive. Put it in the Macbook. Started the install but exactly the same problem - the disk is not to be seen, not by the installer, not by Disk Utility, not in System Profiler.

I ran the Apple Hardware Test and chose the extended one with looping. Ran it for hours. It says that it can't find a problem.

Windows On Mac :: Install Windows 7 On An Internal Disk Via Boot Camp?

Oct 22, 2009

Is it possible to install Windows 7 on an internal disk via Boot Camp and then remove this disk and use it as an external drive? I have two drives for my mini, one in use and one in an external case; unfortunately, neither have room for everything plus Windows. If the answer to this question is no, then I'll buy a bigger drive. I'd just like to avoid this if possible (I already have a ton of external drives and not enough ports to plug them into).

MacBook Pro :: Corrupt Disk And Locating Files

Jan 13, 2011

In 09 I got my first mac and loved it. I had about a year to get to know it. its file structure, file types etc. So to say the least, I didnt have enough time to really get everything down pat. Like where all the specific files are, etc. I ended up 1300 bucks short for my engagement ring so it was either sell my car or my macbook (I made the wrong choice.) At the time I had a 512GB Intel SSD in the main drive bay and a hitachi travelstar 500GB 7200 RPM drive in the optibay. I had used Carbon copy cloner NUMEROUS times during testing and messing around with the dual drives and different partitions (at one point having OSX, XP and Linux on at the same time.) So to say the least I was very familiar with how to use CCC. So when I sold my MBP I threw the optic drive back in and sold it with the SSD. I took my 500GB hitachi drive, formated it in an external closure and used CCC to image my mac. It has ALL my pictures and home movies on it allong with a lot of programs. I think I was using something like 400GB of the 500 GB drive. All the personal files were encrypted using disk utility. Then I booted it to make sure it worked. Everything worked great So I put the now external drive in a case and it sat inside of a drawer.

fast forward to now. I purchased my mother a mac mini for christmas. This was a great opportunity to get all my encrypted pics and movies off the drive. So i plugged in the drive via USB, rebooted holding option and it shows the drive but wont let me boot it. When I plug in the drive while the mac is on, a message pops up saying "the disk was not readable by this computer". When I open disk utility and try to repair it, it says disk utility cant repair, back up as many files as possible, blah blah blah. the only info it gives me is the name of the disk which is disk2s2, and that it is formated as mac os extended. Apparently Between me testing to see if this disk was bootable, packing it up and storing it in a drawer and pulling it out a year later it got corrupt and wont boot. So here is the deal. I installed Data rescue 3. The first option I try is quick scan. DR3 tells me right away that the boot files are corrupt and it will need deep scan. So I run Deep scan and 10 hours later I have A LOT of system files. I have tried to go through it and find the encrypted files (which should just be dmg's right?) but no luck. Is there anything else anyone can think of to get the files off of this "corrupt" drive? I dont have enough experience with the Mac file system and just the mac in general to get this thing to work.

MacBook :: Disk Corrupt For No Reason - GCSE's At Stake

Nov 29, 2009

I was using my MacBook (Late 08' Unibody Backlit) listening to a bit of Spotify ect. Shut it down normally. When I booted later on I turned it on and a progress bar comes up goes not very far across at all and starts again. Get's to roughly the same point only to shut down. This has happened consistently. Windows 7 still works though so that rules out a complete Hard Disk failure. I have tried booting from SL DVD and repairing permissions and the disk only to be presented with an error message telling me to backup as many files as I can and restore. (If I new how to backup these files I most certainly would). After this I tried to install SL again (I understand the default is an archive and install) and before it even starts it tells me that it cannot be installed on this disk.

OS X :: Unable;e To Boot From Internal Hard Drive / Use Disk Warrior To Repair Disk?

Apr 11, 2010

I am considering purchasing diskwarrior but want to make sure it can help my situation before I purchase it. My imac will not boot from the internal hard drive (Intel processor) When I use disk utility to try and repair the disk, I get error messages and it won't repair. I can see the HD but cannot repair it. When I connect using target mode with my mac book pro, the hard drive does not appear on my host (macbook pro) computer. I have reloaded OS X (Leopard) onto a firewire external drive and can boot my imac that way but I can not find my original internal Macintosh HD. Will disk warrior be able to help with this scenario. I would really like to access that internal Macintosh HD and retrieve my files.

IMac :: Unable To Install Clean Snow Leopard / Instructions To Install On Internal Drive?

Dec 20, 2009

The internal hard drive on my early 2009 iMac is being replaced but I have to reinstall Snow Leopard myself.I did search in MRoogle and at Apple and cannot seem to find instructions on how to perform a clean Snow Leopard install on an iMac internal HD.

Can I do this? And if so how? Or do you think I should try and install Leopard on the existing Hd in the iMac? I still have these discs but have to get the SL applications install disc out of my drive (it's stuck and the iMac won't boot past the blue screen).

Intel Mac :: Using Original Install Disk To Reset Password?

May 26, 2012

I have a 2008 iMac running Lion 10.7.2. I am trying to reset my Admin P/W,( I do not remember setting one up in the first place, but trying to use Terminal recently to do Maintenance scripts, it asked for one, which I cannot oblige it with). (I only put in a Master P/W).  

The method  I have been reading requires using the original software disk supplied with the Mac. My iMac came with Leopard, whch I upgraded to Snow Leopard and now to Lion. 

Will the original Leopard disk be suitable for the above? or do I require the Lion recovery or whatever to do this task.
