TICKET ARCHIVE -> volume need repair

amoleji - May 16, 2006 - 11:47 am

Hello

i verified my disk and the result came in as


Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect size for file objects.xib
(It should be 4096 instead of 71776119061221235)
Invalid extent entry
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.

Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit


1 HFS volume checked
Volume needs repair




I was doing it in order to see if there is any problem with my burner as it did not burn the dvd-r's (created another ticket for that.)

please suggest

Hi amoleji

The error - "The underlying task reported failure on exit" is not a good thing usually.

Disk Utility won't be able to fix it.

You can get DiskWarrior;

And keep your fingers crossed that it will be able to repair the drive, otherwise you'll need to reformat the drive.

If you wind up reformatting the drive, reinstall the system and before going any further, run Disk Utility again and see if you get the same error.

If you do, you have a failing drive.
