Disk Erase Failed Input/output Error
to erase it I get a input/output error and I cannot seem to partition it. When I try to reinstall my original Tiger OS X the 'select a destination' step is blank and there is nothing to select. I'm not worried about the old HD as I had mostly everything backed up - I just want to get this new HD up and running and get my MacBook fixed! I starting to go through cold turkey without it... please help! Answered! View the answer I have this problem too Subscribed to new answers Is this a good question?

Mine only has 4 jumper pins and no shunt or anything already on it. Is the problem something to do with the fact that the software isn't reading the hard drive as a 250GB, rather it reads the drive as a 1.8/2TB drive? 08/08/20

It's a MacBook Pro 13" Mid 2009. After it failed to boot up past the grey screen, I took it to the Genius bar at my local Apple store, and the guy told me the hard drive had definitely died. Thank god I'd done a Time Machine back-up recently! I did https://www.ifixit.com/Answers/View/102528/Input-output+error+after+replacing+Hard+Drive a bit of research, (I'm not very knowlagable about computers), and eventually chose a Crucial m4 SSD, 256GB, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s to replace it with. Crucial claim this is definitely compatable. All seemed fine as I put it in, but when I came to install the OS, I got a bit stuck... There was no 'destination' to install to, so I went to Disk Utility. The new hard drive shows up, but there is no option to "Repair Disk" under First Aid (it's greyed out) and when I tried to erase and re-format the hard drive - I selected Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - it comes up with an error message: "Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/output error" I've Googled the heck out of this, and although others have been asking similar questions, I still can't make sense of it all. Am I missing something obvious? If anyone has any pointers that would be so great. Thanks in advance guys :) Answer this question I have this problem too Subscribed to new answers Is this a good question? Yes No Voted Undo Score 0 Cancel Add a comment 0/1

I have a 10.5 leopard disk I am using disk utility and trying to install. I tried to format the internal hard drive and kept getting an "input / output error". I replaced the hard drive and received the same error. I have a serial -> usb converter and the hard drive was recognized, and formatted. I put it back into the internal wiring input output error harness, tried to install but the partition was not recognized and received the same error while trying to format / partition. I had an old sata drive laying around and bought a sata -> firewire converter for and this has worked. The install went smooth and I can boot OSX off the fw drive. Granted carrying around an external drive everywhere I go to use the comp is rather annoying. Other things I have tried are: Formatting from a 10.4 disk Formatting through terminal / open firmware Formatting through disk utility while OSX is running (same error) The original and the new ata hard drives I have can both be formatted and used via the usb converter but are useless when used as an internal drive. The drive will appear as "available" in disk utility but anything I try to do gets me an "input output error". So I know the drive is being seen and recognized, it can be modified while in usb but internally does not do a thing. The internal wiring harness is not faulty seeing how I can "see" the drive in disk util. Ive searched and searched looking for an answer to this and have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as this is driving me insane for 2 weeks now. Reply With Quote 12-23-2009,01:31 PM #2 chscag View Profile View Forum Posts
