Mac Input Output Error
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 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 converte

When 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 http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/147869/external-hard-disk-showing-input-output-error 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 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?

If so try to format and install OS with source machine. Or remove your HD from your MB, put it in an external 2.5" sata enclosure and try to format it with your friend's macbook.
