I was making a bootable clone using DU the other night and got an error message on two attempts. This had worked numerous times before so I resorted to SuperDuper which worked fine. I still don't know what caused the error.

"I'm simply trying to create a backup of my boot disk." I'm not following something here. Do you NOT have a bootable system except for the install disc or do you have a good OS hard drive that you are trying to copy?

Have you mounted the image with File > Open Disk Image... and dragged the resulting volume

So, I open the image with the "Open Disk Image" command of the File menu. Then I drag the drive icon that appear a the bottom of the drives list on the left hand-side and finally the https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1159858?start=0&tstart=0 destination disk that needs to be erased and restored. The process start and when almost finished (95%), DiskUtility throws the error. Any other idea? Thanks a lot Mauro dnanian04-05-2006, 11:00 AMHm. Error 22 is "invalid argument". I'm not sure what might be wrong here, Mauro. I'd check to see if you can archive-and-install on top of the restored backup to put an OS down, and then boot from it and see if your files are there and OK. http://www.shirt-pocket.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-1210.html Scott Shuster08-22-2006, 08:19 AMInstead of using the Migration Tool, I dragged stuff onto my new MacBook in the time-tested style of OS-7.4 -- resulting in slowness. I did not know about the Migration Tool - "Duh!" - and also "Dohhh!!!" - !!! Tho slow, the computer has been working just fine, but obviously I'd like to fix its problems. The good folks down at Tekserve here in NYC recommended that as full-fledged optimization does not yet exist for the Intel Macs (no "DiskWarrior") I use SuperDuper to create a disk image on an external drive, and restore from that: They said I'd get some improved disk organization and 'speed' out of doing that. So I created the 'sparse' disk image overnight, and this morning sought to start-up from the image, but I'm getting 'invalid argument' from the get-go. The image works fine as a folder-full-of-files, but is not recognized as a potential start-up drive. In Disk Utility I'm told that the image has no checksum data -- So I am checksumming it now -- which looks like it's going to take hours, so in the meantime I thought I'd saunter over here and try to find out what's going on... With thanks in advance for any guidance, Scott dnanian08-22-2006, 09:03 AMOK -- you can't start from a disk image, only from a real direct-to-the-drive copy, so what you should do is re-do the c
Social Media Mac OS X Windows Linux iOS Applications Hardware Video Blog How To Create A Bootable Clone Of Your Mac Hard Drive by Vijay on October 5, 2012 Tweet EmailSharebarMac's come with a built in tool called "Disk Utility" which can be used to clone your Mac Hard Drive. The process of http://nyacomputing.com/how-to-create-a-bootable-clone-of-your-mac-hard-drive/ creating a bootable clone of your Mac Hard Drive is fairly simple, but before we get into the nitty gritty of actually creating a bootable clone of your Mac Hard Drive, lets talk a little about the reasons and advantages behind http://superuser.com/questions/23478/unable-to-repair-disk-using-mac-os-x-disk-utility doing this. 1. Great Way To Have A Functional Backup Of Your Entire System By cloning your Mac Hard Drive, you are essentially creating a exact copy or backup of your entire Mac system, this includes Operating System files could not and the Users home directories. Not only that, since this is a exact copy of your Mac Hard Drive, you can even boot of the Clone Drive by simply having the Clone Drive plugged in and keeping the Options key pressed down during system boot-up. 2. Useful In Testing Applications And Trouble Shooting Issues The Clone Drive can be used to test new applications or software updates before actually installing it on the primary system. Also, in case of a could not validate system problem, you could boot of the Clone and identify if the problem is software or hardware related. 3. Ready To Go Replacement Of The Primary Hard Drive In case of a Hard Drive failure or corruption, you could be crippled for hours or even days before the primary Drive could be fixed and data restored. Instead, you now could be immediately back in business by simply booting of the Clone Drive. Using Disk Utility To Clone The Mac Hard Drive Okay, now that we have discussed the reason behind cloning your Mac Hard Drive, lets actually see how to do it. Every Mac comes with a built-in tool called "Disk Utility" has mentioned earlier, this is what we will use to clone your Mac Hard Drive. You will also need an external Drive. Make sure that the external Hard Drive you are using for this purpose is equal to or larger than the used space on the source Hard Drive you plan to clone. Also, make sure to backup any data on the external Hard Drive, since all data on the Drive will be erased. Now with your external Hard Drive plugged in and "Command" Key and "R" Key pressed down power-on your system. This will boot your system in Recovery mode. The reason you do this is, since you are cloning your OS partition you do not want anything from being changed on the source Har

It seems to work fine, but when I ran Disk Utility and did a "Verify Disk", it reported filesystem errors. The "Repair Disk" button was disabled, because this is the startup drive. So, I restarted with the Mac OS X Install Disc and ran Disk Utility again. When I run "Repair Disk", I get this output: Verify and Repair volume "Macintosh HD" Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume. Checking Extents Overflow file. Checking Catalog file. Invalid node structure. Volume check Failed. Error: Filesystem verify or repair failed. Is there anything else I can do to try to repair the filesystem (besides erase and reinstall)? Update: FWIW, here's what happened after I asked this question: Restarted in single-user mode (Command-S on boot). "/sbin/fsck -yf" gave more error messages. And when I did "exit", I saw error message "disk0s2: I/O error" followed by "CPU Halted". Tried to reboot. Apple logo appeared, and wheel spun for about 15-20 seconds, then machine turned off. This repeated every time I tried to reboot with the internal disk. Tried resetting PRAM (Command-Option-PR on startup). No change. Called Apple. The expert walked me through SMC reset, which did nothing. Tried to do an "Archive and Install" re-installation, to save original disk contents, but the Installer refused to install on that drive due to filesystem corruption. Did an erase and re-install. (And my wife now hates me.) I'd still be interested to hear if there is anything more I should have done. osx mac filesystems repair share|improve this question edited Aug 18 '09 at 16:47 asked Aug 16 '09 at 21:25 Kristopher Johnson 1,03051430 When booted from the install disk, does running the verify first tell you any more specific information? –Troggy Aug 16 '09 at
