after the message "Waiting for DSMOS", the thing was then just repeating the message "disk0s3: I/O error" over and over again.Booting into safe mode didn't work. Booting into single user mode and trying to use fcsk didn't work. I read here to try "sudo chown root:admin /", but that didn't do anything and instead just said "chown: read only" or something similar.Any ideas? I really have no idea why it broke disk0s2 i/o error fix down, I don't remember installing any updates or changing any kexts.Vexir Back to top #2 Gringo Vermelho Posted 24 September 2011 - 10:37 PM Gringo Vermelho The Jan Bird fix Supervisors 6,224 posts Gender:Male Location:Brazil Boot from your install media and use Disk Utility to do a disk repair.If that doesn't help try this: http://www.cgsecurit...g/wiki/TestDisk Back to top #3 Vexir Posted 25 September 2011 - 01:46 AM Vexir InsanelyMac Protégé Members 28 posts I must be really stupid or I'm missing something.

Colin My Macbook (late 2008 Unibody) turned two years old a few days before Christmas. The day after it's birthday (the only reason I know this is because the volume macintosh hd could not be verified completely I was checking where it fell in terms of warranty, but AppleCare is

only one year, not two from purchase date so this was pretty irrelevant anyways) I started to suffer from a myriad

of issues during use. Beachballing. Bouncing programs in the dock. Random freezes in Firefox when browsing. Connection dropouts. The works. I initially thought this was the work of an outdated program failing to http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/268860-repeated-disk-io-error-after-waiting-for-dsmos/ play nice with the newest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.5) which I had installed days before. I began turning off plugins in Firefox and ditching programs from the startup menu to attempt to cure whatever sickness had taken over my laptop. Every reboot cycle gave me the same problem- the computer would run for about 30 seconds, but then any use and it started beachballing. Finally, it http://balloflightning.com/2010/12/io-error-os-x-hard-drive-failing/ just didn't reboot. The computer hung at the grey screen with the Apple logo and the spinning ball. No peripherals (external hard drive, USB mouse, etc.) were attached so that was immediately ruled out. To attempt to diagnose the problem, I attempted to boot into safe mode. Not happening. Tried resetting the PRAM and NVRAM. Nada. Finally, the next series of steps allowed me to salvage my hard drive and let my Macbook live to see another day (minus a $700 data recovery charge). Boot into single-user mode (sometimes called verbose mode) (hold down Control-V as soon as the Mac chime sounds after pressing the power button). You should now be in an environment that looks like this: At the command line type: /sbin/fsck -fy and press Return. You will receive messages about the disks use and fragmentation as fsck will now go through five phases of disk utility. If you get: disk0s3: I/O Error then you have a problem with bad sectors on the hard drive. Eventually, fsck will probably tell you: ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** Repeat the fsck process above. Keep repeating the above process until ***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED ***** does not appear. Ev

Verbose mode shows a load of I/O errors. Disk Verify/Repair run via recovery partition completes successfully, as does fsck terminal command in single user startup mode (it modified the files on first run but not second). I reset the NVRAM too. However none of these have helped, same I/O errors afterwards. Thinking it might be due to OS files being corrupted I created a USB drive with installable version of disk0s2 i/o error OSX (actually 10.9 Mavericks), but it crashes during install. I wanted to try Apple Hardware Tools diagnostics but the startup shortcuts D or opt+D don't work - I read it's been removed so presumably I'll need to find a way to reinstall it first. I've tried the usual fixes such as safe mode (won't boot), removing all peripherals, even the RAM sticks. I can't hear the drive making any grinding sounds. Is there anything else I can try to fix this? Is it likely the HD has died even though Disk Repair is returning success? hard-drive imac boot startup install share|improve this question asked Oct 8 '13 at 14:46 Ben Wise 335324 add a comment| 1 Answer 1 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted Disk I/O errors literally translate to input / output errors, which occur when the system is unable to communicate properly with the hard drive. This is very indicative of a hardware failure, whether it be with the hard drive itself, the logic board or the SATA data cable that runs between the two. Given the age of your Mac (5~ years) I would assume that the hard drive is to blame. Disk Utility repairs the volume on the disk at a software level, often it will report when hard drives have a hardware failure but there are also times when it repairs correctly despite communication errors still being present. Apple Hardware Test (AHT) IS pretty g
the spinning beach ball for multiple minutes and the rate at which this happens increases rapidly over the course of a few hours or days. Another alarming sign is when your Mac suddenly fails to boot. Lastly, if you see entries like the following in /var/log/system.log and the disk device in question is a hard disk, that's another strong sign of trouble: Dec 30 15:42:25 MacBook kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error. The first thing to do is to boot from your Mac OS X Install DVD and run "Disk Utility" "Repair Disk" on the hard drive in question. Also check for the SMART status (bottom right of Disk Utility's window). However, even the status is "Verified", this does not guarantee all is well, unfortunately. If after the repair you still have trouble, get Smart Utility from Volitans Software and see if it shows you any attributes in red type, as shown below. Then click "Show All" in the "Attributes" section and again check for any red type. If it looks as follows, backup all data you can and get an exchange for your drive.
