SMART UTILITY MAC OS INSTALL
I backed up all my data using the Snow Leopard install disk. And each of the 3 partitions showed in black (not red), and verified "seems to be working OK." I never would have known about a problem if I hadn't launched Disk Utility. I have 3 partitions, one with Leopard, one with Snow Leopard, and one with Mountain Lion. This happened a couple of months after I loaded Mountain Lion, but I'm seeing the error on Leopard on the same computer, an iMac: The computer was manufactured in 2007, and the drive probably was original then. The drive is a WDC WD5000AAKS-65YGA0, that came with my iMac when I bought it from eBay. If the drive has not failed completely, back up as much data as you can and then replace it with a working drive." Status = Failing" from Disk Utility, only because I happened to launch Disk Utility! When I did, and selected the entire drive, it said, "The drive has reported a fatal hardwardware error to Disk Utility. When your Mac restarts, use either copy of the Mountain Lion Installer to do the upgrade. (Do not use Migration Assistant, as you'll end up with an extra user account and the transferred user account(s) may lose permission to the backups.) See Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #14 for details. To start from it, start up while holding the Alt/Option key and select the TM drive.Įither way, start up from the Recovery HD and restore your most recent backup. If there isn't a Recovery HD, and if your backups are on an external HD with the GUID partitioin map, Time Machine should have copied one to your TM drive. Most likely, the repair center will install either Lion or Mountain Lion, and there should be a (hidden) Recovery HD, too.

Suggestions/Comments on best route forward (machine MacBookPro) still under extended warranty,appreciated.įile System : Mac OS Extended (Journaled) If I can select from my existing (Lion) TM backup onto a clean install of Mountain Lion then that is my preference as prefer a 'clean' install anyway. Question is will a fresh build recognise the lion time machine content permitting me to restore or (more likely I guess) replace hard drive and restore to Lion and then upgrade.

I have a full time machine backup, so I guess it's either reformat the primary of off to the repair centre? I have run disk utilities and also repaired permsisions etc but for the hard drive I am notified S.M.A.R.T.
Back up as much of the data as possible and replace the disk. This disk has a hardware problem that can't br repaired.
Purchased and downloaded just fine also copied the app to a second volume.
