Repairing internal disk with SuperDuper

These days when we only talk about the iPhone 3G, we are going to talk about tricks.

We are seeing in the Disk Utility that an internal disk of one of the Macs has errors and that it is necessary to restart from the Leopard installation disk to be able to repair them since if the disk is in use, this cannot be done.

Well, if you already have a full copy of your internal disk made with SuperDuper, you just have to restart from that copy (leaving the internal disk free of use) and open Disk Utility to repair it. This has an advantage over doing it from the installation DVD, the possibility of running other third-party repair programs that we have installed.

We will have at hand everything that the original disc had and what's more, if the repair fails and the disc is lost, we can make the reverse copy from SuperDuper as we discussed in other previous publications.

Note: This entry was posted from Leopard uploaded from the SuperDuper copy while the internal disk repair was being performed.

    I think this post will save my life ...

    My Mac does not turn on, I have the gray screen and in a circle spinning ... until a few minutes later it turns off ... So over and over again ... I have Leopard installed (updated from Tiger) and curiously if I put the Leopard disks I don't get anything, but if I put the Tiger dvds in, although I don't get anything either, when I restart, the computer goes over the gray screen and starts up normally ...

    I have entered Disk Utility and it tells me:
    Invalid node structure
    An error occurred during the volume check
    Error: error in the verification or repair of the file system.

    It won't let me repair ... I've tried it with TechTool Pro and it doesn't do anything either ...

    I thought my last chance was Carbon Copy Cloner, but I just discovered this post and I think it will save my life… because if it has worked for you, why not for me? Of the Carbon Copy Cloner I have no testimonials ...

    Anyway, my question is in what format I have to have the album. HFS? Mac OS with registry? no registration ???

    On the other hand, does the disk have to be USB or Firewire? or is it indifferent?

    Thank you so much ... I hope you can give me a cable ...

    PS: I would appreciate it if, in addition to responding to me on the blog, you can send me a message telling me that you have answered me ... I will be in your debt for life.

    It has worked for me with Mac OS Plus formatting and USB disk

    MacOsPlus with reg.
    You make a copy of the damaged disk with superduper to another disk and you start with it to return a copy to the original, erasing it and you will see that it is solved.

    1.- Install leopard in an external one. (or small partition of an external or a pendrive of 8 or 16 Gb)
    2.- Copy with SuperDuper the damaged disk to another external one. (or large partition)
    3.- Boot from the copy of superdupper from the external (or large partition) (if it does not start, reinstall leopard on this disk to replace damaged system files and others)
    4.- Invert the copy of SuperDuper now copying everything to the damaged disk by formatting it.

    It should work.

    yes, yes ... Yes it worked yesterday ... So I formatted the volume with Mac OS Plus (with volume registration and partition without registration) and everything went well!

    Great thing about the SuperDuper! In Windows I had tried Norton Ghost, but it has no color ... it works 100% one in a thousand ... And yet SuperDuper! everything has left me perfect !!!

    Thank you.

    Good blog!
