razr1983 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 I tried repairing with fsck -y but I am getting... bad super block: magic number wrong unable to rebuild b-tree (or something like that) and then it says the disk cannot be repaired. it's retail snow leo install on an external usb drive... updated to 10.6.3. everything was running fine. I am currently downloading diskwarrior boot image and I am going to try booting it using boot123 or something similar... any suggestion? warnings ? I can actually access all files using transmac on windows... so the drive should be clearly repairable (or so I think) all help is greatly appreciated.

Beerkex'd Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 If you're on an MBR partition scheme, don't forget to patch DiskWarrior first: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77894 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razr1983 Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 I am using a GUID partition... this doesn't have a MBR right ? so it should work out of the box ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerkex'd Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 It looks that way, yes. I have tried but I can't figure out how to boot my Disk Warrior CD using my Chameleon Boot CD. Please post here later if it works for you. The easiest way would be to just run it from another installation of OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razr1983 Posted June 7, 2010 Author Share Posted June 7, 2010 installed snow leo on a 16gb usb stick... ran diskwarrior... skipped step 9 coz it took forever and then some and at the end it crashed... everything works now... still haven't found any corrupted files. p.s. it's insane... you can even run snow leo from a usb stick these days...
