Disk0s3 I/o Error

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 I was

checking where it fell in terms of warranty, but AppleCare is only one disk0s3 i o error mac year, not two from purchase date so this was pretty irrelevant anyways) I started to suffer from a myriad of issues mac disk1 i/o error 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 I initially thought this was the work of an outdated program failing to play nice with

the newest version of Snow Leopard (10.6.5) which I had installed days before.

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 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.

Have you tried booting to your operating system disk? If you can boot to the OS goto utilities/disk repair and run disk repair until it reports no trouble found. If successful you should do a complete backup of your data as this could be a indicator of your hard drive going bad. I am including a link to a problem like yours for reference.

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 down, I don't remember installing any updates or changing any kexts.Vexir Back to top #2 disk0s3 i o 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. When I stick my retail SL disc in there, Chameleon doesn't detect it or see it at all. What's the problem here?

You have three options: 1) Make your own Chameleon boot CD and use the 'swap trick' to boot the retail DVD. Visit the VoodooProjects forum, look for a post by me and follow the link in my signature. You need to register an account to download the attached files. 2) Use Apple Disk Utility to restore your retail DVD to a partition on your hard drive. This will be bootable with your present Chameleon installation. Very convenient. 3) Use any old Hackintosh distro you have lying around somewhere. These are bootable.
