I have a big problem - I think. The problem seems to be that my HDD is Read-Only so I can't boot and can not erase the HDD to reinstall the system.
But here is the whole story:
I bought a used MacBook Pro 13" from Mid 2009. It was used by a friend and he used it until yesterday without any problems. I bought it and he erased the system and then I configurated the system for my preferences. I booted and everything worked fine. But then this happened:
- I changed the System-Language in
System Preferences -> Language
to German and then restarted. - When restarting the Apple Logo appears and a loading Bar is bottom of this. The Bar took about 3 minutes to load - and then the MacBook shut down. That's it. I tried it about 5 times - everytime the same.
- I googled and used
CMD + V
at the start to see what's happening and I saw that the problem is that the system tries to repair the "volume" - my HDD. After the third repeat the system shuts down. So I tried the following steps to solve this:
CMD + R
when restarting to go toDiskUtil
. In this I tried to scan the HDD. It returns that it should be repaired. I clicked repair and I got the message thatDiskUtils
can not repair the HDD. Then I clicked on the HDD and saw that it doesnt seems to be mounted... I tried to mounted but: "Can not mount this - try to repair and try again..." - but this still doenst work. So I was going on ...CMD + S
to get into the console before starting the system. There I tried this:diskutil list
. This returned: "Killed 9
". Not more and not less. So I googled it:I found this page: [http://superuser.com/questions/698310/getting-the-diskutil-command-to-work-in-osx-mavericks-single-user-mode` So I tried the accepted comment...]
and typed this into the console:
/usr/libexec/repair_packages --repair --standard-pkgs
This command returned this:Group differs on "Library/Java", should be 0, group is 80.
Permissions differ on "Library/Java", should be drwxr-xr-x, they are drwxrwxr-x.
Unable to set owner & group on "Library/Java", Error 30: Read-Only file system
Unable to set Permissions on "Library/Java". Error 30: Read-only file system
Okay - that's it. This is all information I have and I realy dont know how to solve this ... any idea ? :/
Information: The OS seems to be OSX.
