Could Not Restore Input Output Error Mac
I open the External drive in Finder, It shows it's empty. When I use the option to "Get Info", I get the dialog box stating it has about 300GB Free. I tried to access External Drive using Terminal, but I had no luck. Checking in Disk Utility, It showed that I have many number of files but ZERO folders. I tried to "repair disk", in the process the external Drive got unmounted in the process. I checked this drive on Windows. I was able to input output error 5 mac open almost all the folders but I wasn't able to copy anything onto the external drive. One folder caused my windows computer to freeze. Then I connected the drive back onto my MacBook Pro and tried to access the drive through terminal (this time it worked!) and then I tried to delete a folder with rm command, I got an "input/output error". I tried to enter in to the folder with "cd" command but my terminal got frozen. What should i do to recover the files in that folder?

The first thing you should do is run chkdsk on the drive from a Windows system to correct any errors with the NTFS file system. If you still have trouble, I suspect that there's little you can do. As for mounting it on the Mac, understand that OS X mounts NTFS file systems in read-only mode. As such, you'll be able to copy important data off of the drive, but you won't be able to update it or write new data to it. Repairing the drive in Disk Utility might work,

The Disk Utility progress windows displays the message Creating Image Macintosh HD.dmg Reading whole disk http://superuser.com/questions/777497/unable-to-create-disk-image-using-disk-utility-input-output-error (Apple_HFS : 0)… with progress bar that moves up to about 50% before the following error message is displayed: Unable to create Macintosh HD.dmg. (Input/output error). Using Disk Utility, First Aid, Verify Disk, the volume "Macintosh HD" appears to be OK. Is there a way to view any more detail than the console will provide? So that I can learn more about the error. It could be due to low power on the source drive - I am using a 2.5" HDD External enclosure (Mini G2 from Silicon P/L) requires 5VDC/0.5A usb to USB and power (host usb 1 - enclosure usb and enclosure round power split end cable) lead and I am using my MacBook Pro Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012 as the host USB port. The HD inside the enclosure is from an early model G4 Powerbook that was running Tiger OS X. Other answers to input/output error suggest using DiskWarrior so I tried that, DiskWarrior fixed a bunch of flags and repaired permissions but when I ran disk utility again after that to create a new image it failed again for the same reason: input/output error.

It has been given to me without hard input output drive in it and I have no clue about what it went through. The laptop works perfectly booting from Ubuntu cd. I have two hard drives to try with, both “Western Digital” and both 160 gb: Hard Drive 1: WD1600BEKT, brand new guaranteed by the ebay seller to be specifically compatible with my MacBook Pro A1150; Hard Drive 2: WD1600BEVT, pretty old. I've installed both drives (one per time obviously) in a input output error Dell Inspiron 1525, installed Ubuntu OS and both drives worked perfectly. Now I install the drives in the MacBook, and every time I do so I call one SMC reset and three PRAM resets. 50% of the times the drive is detected and a faulty Ubuntu OS is loaded. 50% of the times the drive is not seen at all and I get the question mark folder. Same goes when I boot the pc from Ubuntu cd, 50% of the times the hard drive is shown on “Disks” application, 50% it doesn't appear. When “Disks” shows the hard drive, still the hard drive is not really accessible, only one time out of dozens SMART data was available. Time to install Ubuntu, or at least try: 50% of the times the hard drive is not detected and installation cannot be initiated; 50% of the times the hard drive is detected, the installation seems to be started but after few seconds I get “Input/output error during read on /dev/sda” I've replaced the hard drive cable and after that I went through the exact same experiences. I've set the hard drives jumper setting to SSC first, RPS after and still no luck. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance Answer this question I have this prob

I went through 3 drives with my MBP with the same exact message. I brought it to the Apple store and showed them what was going on, and they said that my Mac's firewire port fried the external's port, and it killed the drive altogether, i went through 3 drives with it doing the same thing. They said MBPs have a reputation for overloading both firewire and USB ports of other external
