However, it (supposedly) left me good heritage: my main partition is now unlocked in reonstall os utility and now i'm reinstalling os on macintosh hd. As i have mentioned above, for some reason it won't boot from DW, so i call it quits with DW. Using diskwarrior at stage 12: rebuilding overlapped files gave me the error 2175 - 1, and said that i need to reboot from diskwarrior dvd. I pressed on rebuild, it fixed other stuff, but progress bar hasn't move don fixing overlapping files in 10 min. I woke up, and it found 1206 overlapping files and a bunch of another bad stuff. Left it rebuilding directories overnight. Successfully booted from USB, ran hardware test on DW, it said that my drive is functioning normally.

Installing os x lion on usb stick from one of utilities on broken mac, want to see if this version boots to desktop so i can access diskwarrior. also i don't have any time machine backups. I have seen troubleshooting this issue with terminal, but that requires booting to desktop, which i can't access.

#Diskwarrior boot from usb pro

Tested USB stick on friend's MacBook Pro (it was on desktop, didn't try booting from it) - program launched perfectly. I did back up all my data on a 64 GB USB stick by making Macintosh HD.dmg with disk utility on USB stick(it was compressed into 34 GB or something like that, i checked it on PC through TransMac, so i wouldn't lose any data anyway), and then tried several things to make computer work again:ĭiskWarrior: the computer wouldn't boot from USB stick with DiskWarrior(burned it on PC with TransMac) - it shows a 'no-sign' instead of Apple logo, or even(after resetting PRAM) three beeps. I launched disk repair and disk utility told me that disk cannot be repaired, that i need to make a backup of my data and reinstall mac OS x. After some research, i launched disk utility, launched disk verification (i have one disk, 64 GB, into two partitions - one recovery, and one Macintosh HD, where all my files are kept), it told me that disk needs a repair. I have been using MacBook Air for quite some time without any troubles, but 2 days ago when i turned it on, it booted into 'utilities'. Boot failure/disk cannot be repaired/disk is locked
