This discussion is locked Dan Bliss Level 1 (5 points) Q: Error -9972 in Disk Utility I have a 250 GB external firewire hard drive. I was trying to copy a relatively large folder (4 or 5 GB) from my main drive to the external one when things began to freeze. First just finder, but then the whole computer. I let it sit for a while and then restarted the computer. The firewire drive didn't show up upon restarting, so I tried to repair it in disk utility, but I get the following message:Repairing disk for "EZQ 250GB”Checking HFS Plus volume.Checking Extents Overflow file.Checking Catalog file.Volume check failed.Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)Repair attempted on 1 volume0 HFS volumes repaired1 volume could not be repairedAm I screwed? My iTunes library was stored on the drive along with some other files that aren't terribly vital. I have a fairly recent backup copy of most of the data on the drive on DVD, so I wouldn't lose too many files, but I'd like to avoid formatting the drive if at all possible.Any advice on what to do would be greatly appriciated.Thanks!

This particular disk error is considered quite serious, although for me the only problem was that I couldn't boot from it. Since it was my secondary disk, I erased it and did a Carbon Copy Clone from my primary disk, then ran Disk Repair, then repaired permissions, and now it boots and appears to work just like it ought to. I'm just hoping it's not a hardware issue.Return to posts indexReport Post<< PREVIOUS • VIEW ALL • PRINT • NEXT >>© 2016 CreativeCOW.net All Rights Reserved[TOP]
