Failing to Copy Files
Hi,
I am trying to make a bootable copy of my Powerbook's hard drive using the "Backup - all files" setting to my LaCie 160 GB firewire external hard drive. I want to do this so that I can boot from the LaCie drive after I upgrade the Powerbook's hard drive. In preparation, I zeroed out and erased all of the data on the LaCie drive. When I attempt to clone my Powerbook's hard drive, I get an error about 4 minutes into the copying process saying, "failed to copy files from Macintosh HD to LaCie hard drive." Is there anything that I am doing wrong? Can anyone help? Here is the section of the log file where it fails: Scripts/Standard Scripts/Backup - all files.dset | 12:14:44 PM | Info | / | 12:14:47 PM | Info | /cores | 12:14:47 PM | Info | /usr | 12:16:25 PM | Info | WARNING: Caught I/O exception(5): Input/output error | 12:16:25 PM | Info | WARNING: Source: /usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.3.0.0.dylib, lstat(): 0 | 12:16:25 PM | Info | WARNING: Target: /Volumes/LaCie 160 GB Hard Drive/usr/lib/libwx_macud-2.5.3.0.0.dylib, lstat(): 0 | 12:16:25 PM | Info | Attempting to copy file using copyfile(). | 12:17:58 PM | Info | Attempting to copy file using ditto. | 12:18:41 PM | Error | ditto: /usr/lib/./libwx_macud-2.5.3.0.0.dylib: Input/output error |
Take a look at the Troubleshooting section of the User's Guide -- it covers I/O errors in some detail and should help you resolve this problem.
Note that, since this seems to be in a system file, you're likely going to have to Archive and Install OSX to get around the problem... Hope that helps! |
Thanks a lot for the advice. I ended up needing to do a archive-install. It worked, though, and I was able to use SuperDuper! to clone my hard drive. Thanks, again.

Glad that took care of it!
