Within a short span of time the MAC OS has established a strong reputation for quality. It is consistent, informative, free from hackers and embedded with number of options for its users. The user guidelines of MAC help a user in easily utilizing almost all the applications. Installing, uninstalling, deleting and restoring operations are possible with only a single drag & drop option.
But there are certain flaws in MAC OS related to its HFS, HFS+ file system. This can affect the functioning of the system and various errors can appear on the screen. In that case, the system starts but does not load the desktop or shows the file system dirty error. The Apple team has provisioned two Mac disk recovery utilities for rectifying the issues - Disk Utility and fsck. This Mac data recovery tool can be utilized even if the system is working absolutely fine.
Steps for Mac data recovery (for Mac OS X 10.2 or later versions)
As the very first step try to open the Computer in safe mode which holds the disk check and repair option. Assure a safe boot in safe mode and start the system normally. If this doesn’t work then try the Disk Utility.
The Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger Install DVD packs a powerful tool called the Disk repair utility. A user can execute diversified disk maintenance operations with this tool. Disk repair can scan the hard disk and repair many issues of the drive.
For using this tool start the Mac OS X install disk and restart the computer with C key. Choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (Here, a Mac OS X 10.4 would have to select the language first). Then click on the First Aid command, then click disclosure triangle for viewing the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions. Select Mac OS X volumes and click repair.
Note: Don’t click Continue option available in the first screen. If you have selected it already then restart the process again.
Mac disk recovery with fsck command
fsck is a command-line utility which can be used if the Mac OS X disc is not at all working, the optical drive is not there and if safe boot is not possible.
Note: If the Disk check successfully executes then don’t use fcsk command utility.
For using the tool first start the system in single user mode to reach the command line. Enter /sbin/fsck –fy at the command line prompt and Select return afterwards. Here, fsck will adopt five different phases and returns information about your disk's use and fragmentation. When it completes the process it shows “The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be.” If the Fcsk repairs, alters or changes anything then it will show the “FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED message.”
In case of a successful recovery the fcsk informs the owner that the volume is ok. In that case, enter reboot and press return. Use Kernel Recovery for Macintosh if the utility has failed to repair the drives. This tool performs Mac data recovery from all the errors.
