Partition Failed With The Error Couldn't Unmount Disk Mac
to this topic #1 killians31 Posted 28 December 2009 - 08:22 PM killians31 InsanelyMac Protégé Members 14 posts Hey guys, I have been prepping my laptop (Asus G50v) for the command r boot installation of OSX 10.6. I seem to be having some issues when trying to format, or even mount my primary partition in which i set aside for OSX. When i format the partition to extended journaled file system (HFS+), it still says that the partition is a MS-DOS file system... Strangely enough, when i boot into Gparted, i see disk utility couldn't modify partition map sd card the partition as HFS+. I am currently running four different operating systems, here is my partition table: sda1 | Windows Seven --------sda2----------- sda5 | /boot Ubuntu sda6 | /Ubuntu sda7 | /boot Fedora sda8 | /Fedora sda9 | /Backtrack ------------------------- sda3 | Shared Drive sda4 | Snow Leopard Could it be that the partition in which i set aside for Snow Leopard is so far away from the MBR, that it doesnt want to work? I currently have the retail_disc.dmg file on a portable hard drive (which disc utility recognizes, and will mount). Any help is GREATLY appreciated! Thanks, Ben Back to top #2 killians31 Posted 28 December 2009 - 10:31 PM killians31 InsanelyMac Protégé Members 14 posts Even when i try to do a Zero format, i still get this same error when trying to restore the retail disc to the partition: Could not change the partition type for /dev/disk0s4 - error - 5343 Any ideas?

Once you start a Live Verification, you may not be able to cancel it, depending on how far along it has progressed. You may experience some issues if you try to verify or repair any unmountable, non-startup disk. If you see any "Incorrect size for file temp" alerts, you https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201639 can safely ignore them.

If you try to verify a volume that is not your startup disk but for some reason Disk Utility can't unmount the volume (for example, the disk may have open files), the verification will appear to start but then stop without displaying any alert message. If you look in the Console (/Applications/Utilities/), you will see an entry like this: Verifying volume “Storage” The disk “Storage” could not be unmounted Could not unmount disk for verification, attempting live verify If you try to repair a disk that cannot be unmounted, the repair will appear to start, but then stop as Disk Utility displays this message: "Repairing disk failed with error.
