After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button.

with OS X drives 97 Replies Even though formatting advances like Journaling in Apple's filesystem formats help prevent data corruption, problems can still happen that result in a drive not https://www.macissues.com/2014/04/05/how-to-fix-deep-formatting-problems-with-os-x-drives/ only being unreadable, but also unable to be reformatted. If this happens, the drive may show up in the Finder sidebar but not show data when clicked, or it may just not show https://www.cnet.com/news/partitioning-usb-hard-drives-that-fail-in-disk-utility-with-posix-error/ up but be present in Disk Utility; however, if you try to mount it you get a "resource busy" error. Another possible symptom is if you get this error or one claiming the input output drive cannot be unmounted, when trying to format the drive or running a fix routine on it with Disk Utility. These errors and behaviors might indicate to you that your drive is malfunctioning and you need a new one; however, before you give up on a $100+ drive, ensure the problem is not simply a very low-level formatting snag that causes the drive to hang when input output error accessed. This is especially true if you do not hear any tell-tale signs of physical failure, such as repeated click, tap, and whirr sounds coming from the drive at regular intervals. Assuming the drive is just experiencing major low-level corruption, the problem you face now is how to format a drive that apparently cannot be formatted on your Mac? One option is to use another operating system like Windows in Boot Camp, in a Virtual Machine, or on a dedicated PC to manage the drive and attempt to repartition it; however, this may not be feasible in some situations. Another option that should work in most cases is to use the Terminal to interact with special device files to force an overwrite of the device file representing the drive. OS X Device files The /dev folder has a number of different device files that are assigned to system components and peripherals, allowing programs to interact with them using system calls. These devices include disks, consoles, terminals, and standard input and output, among others (click for larger view). Device files in OS X are a collection of drivers in the hidden "/dev" directory that are assigned to
