In your case, I thought we are dealing with corrupted partitions but I can't be certain anymore after all the troubleshooting that was supposed to fix the issue. Not true! Depending on the corruption of the drive, it can still be accessed and severely damaged at the same time. I don't quite believe this to be true, but can you verify whether or not that is the case? I was told if I can find one partiton, there shouldn't be any damage to the HDD.
Partition failed could not unmount disk professional#
Guess I'll have to get professional help, tell me this though:
Neither can I enter sudo mode as I don't have that part of the HDD available (/usr/bin/sudo). The problem with the first link is that it assumes I can find the storage part of my HDD - which I can't. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the problem might persist and cause you quite the headaches. If these don't help you, I seriously recommend taking your Mac to professional repair services and let the tech guys there fix the issue. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how you are supposed to proceed from now on, but I found a couple of other links that might be useful to you:
Partition failed could not unmount disk mac os x#
Sorry for bombing you with all this, just thougth I'd put it out there.ĮDIT: A friend told me that if the Mac OS X utilities recognize one partition, that the HDD should be working fine. The only way I've found is entering the hardware test and quitting. There is another error I might as well add as well, I can't easily eject the CD tray. Also (can't quite remember what it was called) under the "OS version" it says something along the lines of "No OS found/installed".Īgain, I don't know if this is related or remotely impact the real issue here. I don't know if this is related, but when I put in the Mac OS X installation CD that followed, I get a kernel panic error AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement. However I've had a bad feeling about this since I started this that the HDD might've been damaged. I couldn't give a damn about deleting everything, I simply want it to work again. Oh thanks for that link, I didn't even know about the extra utilities in that tab. You can give the Ubuntu Live CD a try as well though: Still I don't think that would help a lot, because from the looks of it you might be dealing with a dead/damaged hard drive. The "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" command basically writes zeros (fully erases) your HDD. However, I would advise against tempering with Terminal/Linux, unless you know what you are doing. You can try the suggested solution in this thread as well: What will "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M" this command do? It is for linux, but is there any difference to mac in regards to what I write in the terminal? So I guess I need to type some commands into the "Terminal" (Basically CMD). When I started it I was greeted with "Invalid Partition Table" and clicking the HDD icon "GParted" doesn't work. So I got it to boot into GParted, however I don't really have so much as a clue as to what I do here. If anyone could help me onwards it'd be really appritiated.

I thougth I could make a bootable out of the program testdisk, but simply making an ISO out of the files (I downloaded the mac version) and burning it to a CD using TRANSMAC did not work.

I thougth I'd try to recover the partition somehow, as the partition layout is probably broken on the HDD, however I'm not sure how to do this. If I try to browse the HDD and click the "Music" tab for instance, the explorer quits. So I backtracked and hit disk utility to find that there is only one partiton, the one running the OS.ġgb size, 1gb in use. So after trying all the basic stuff I tougth I'd reinstall, however when I enter the Recovery tools and choose "Reinstall OSX" I get to the step where I am supposed to choose my HDD. So I got a Mac OS X 10.8 and when I start it I'm greeted with a white screen and a folder with a question mark.
How can I find the remaining GB's of storage? TLDR: Trying to reinstall OS X but storage part of HDD isn't detected anywhere.
