(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.

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.

I figured it was more of a software/os question than the hardware, but it seems to concern both. My MacBook (OS 10.4) suffered an 18 inch fall earlier and it has damaged the the harddrive. I have managed to boot it with the input output error Snow Leopard Disc that I was planning on installing after I had backed up all of my never backed up files, but gravity seems to have gotten the better of that plan. When trying without the disk, I would get the typical grey screen with the flashing "?" file. I have run the disk utility and proceeded to verify the drive, which it did, and attempted to repair it. Which it didn't. I got the following message when the repair was stopped. "Disk Utility Stopped Reparing HD Disk Utility can't repair this disk. Back up as many files of your as possible. Reformat the disk and restore your backed-up files." My question is how do I go about this? I have at my disposal a new and unformated Lacie external drive, a formated and partitioned external drive with a bootable copy of my old powerbook (made with SuperDuper, which should also be on both the external and internal drives), with the other partition empty but intended as extra media storage. An external DVD writer drive. And I have purchased a new harddrive for the macbook already. I have attempted to create a New Image, but have got the results of Unable to create Macintosh HD.dmg citing Input/output error. I have attempted to copy the drive onto the open partition of the
