The same error occurs if I try the same thing in single user mode as well.
While in the terminal while booting in the disk if I run fsck_hfs -r /dev/disk0s2 like was mention in this hint and the following gets reported: Both tries comes back with invalid sibling link while its "checking catalog file." I've tried running disk utility while booting off the disk as well as fsck -fy in single user mode. I recently ran into this problem and have tried this hint along with everything in the comments and nothing seems to work. Backing-up only counts if you are regular about it - better yet create a clone of your HD on a regular basis!Īnyway. I was a bit lax with this for the first time in about a year and look what happened. That way if it doesn't work, at least you're no worse off than when you started.ĪND, back-up people. If you are trying this - I HIGHLY recommend doing the same just for safety sake. HOWEVER what I did do was load data rescue from CD and used the clone function to clone the broken hd to a fw external - for some reason it could see the drive and execute the clone. Not being able to mount the drive, I could not copy my files b4 trying the fix by any traditional means. You can log into either verbose mode or single user mode - restart and immediately hold down either command s or command v - to get to a command line.

I seem to have lost nothing.Īlso I didn't need to run terminal from install disk. So, using the unmount command in terminal responded with a "could not be found".ĭo not let that prevent you from running fsck_hfs -r command as it still worked for me. My difference was that the machine would not mount the HD at all. The fix pretty much worked for me as originally posted. By the way, TechTool Deluxe (3.1.1) didn't find the Catalog problem for some reason (you'll have this on a CD if you have AppleCare), which is why I resorted to fsck. Hope this helps someone so they don't buy a program that's going to do pretty much what we did with fsck_hfs, and so they don't waste time searching for an answer to no avail. Just for fun, you might want to run another fsck_hfs on your disk (use the -f option because your drive is probably journaled). Go back and umount the right thing and repeat this step. If you umounted the wrong thing, it will complain that you can't repair a mounted drive.

Knowing that OS X is built on Unix gave me a few clues on how to proceed. I searched the web and Apple's site, and couldn't find anything useful except to buy DiskWarrior or reformat the drive. Just recently I ran into a problem when I tried to Verify my hard disk and when it tried to verify the catalog, it responded "Invalid sibling link." Repair Disk didn't work.
