I do this my making disk images(.iso) from the dvds. To do this I use disk utility > new image > save as dvd/cd master. Started with some Battlestar Galactica. First 6 disks of season 1 went fine. Next 3 disks of season 2 went fine. First disk of season 2.5 I get an input/output error about 75% through the process. Any ideas? mac dvd disk-utility share|improve this question http://superuser.com/questions/35677/input-output-error-using-mac-disk-utility asked Sep 4 '09 at 12:10 CT. 1,454164062 add a comment| 2 Answers 2 active oldest votes up vote 1 down vote accepted I think the issue is with your disk. If you have access to a spin doctor I would suggest that. Since your trying to get it as an iso, MacTheRipper and Handbrake will not do this. You could try http://www.xilisoft.com/dvd-copy-mac.html . You could also dd from the comand line. But this may be what disk utility already uses to create cd/dvd master copies. Just google this for syntax. share|improve this answer answered Sep 15 '09 at 12:55 calvin123 262 add a comment| up vote 1 down vote This could be a problem with the drive, or (more likely) a problem with the DVD. Perhaps there's a scratch on it, or maybe just a smudge. It's tough to say. If you copy the files directly, you can still play it with VLC. Also Disk Utility is not your only choice for backing up DVDs. I will point to MactheRipper or Handbrake for other options. share|improve this answer answered Sep 4 '09 at 18:08 jweede 5,12522532 add a comment| You must log in to answer this question.

Posted by: wickedsteve Date: April 28, 2011 09:23AM I tried to backup my hard drive by making a disc image on an external USB drive. This usually works. But this time I got an "input output error". So I thought maybe the external drive was messed up. I formatted it, erasing my old backup (big mistake) and tried again. I still got an error. So then I tried a different USB drive but still got an error instead of a backup. Then I tried using time machine thinking maybe disk utility was the problem. Time machine could not back up my drive either. It failed and said to try again later. Is my hard drive screwed? I ran the hardware test, first aid and disk warrior. According to my utilities everything is fine but I can not figure how how to back up my hard drive. Two different backup methods did not work and neither did two different drives. Thanks in advance for any help. Options: Reply• Quote Re: I can not backup my hard drive. Posted by: C(-)ris Date: April 28, 2011 09:48AM If you are getting an IO error that is generally bad. It means that the system can't read a portion of the disk. I would backup up all your work immediately. Check the system.log and see if there is anything that says IO error and a disk name or slice number. Generally if you are getting IO errors on a drive it is dying and needs to be replaced.

And then what do I do with a slice number? Options: Reply• Quote Re: I can not backup my hard drive.
