ĭO NOT take your system to the neighborhood PC Doctor style repair shop, DO NOT call the "Geek Squad". Use the special tools only on the 2nd working copy. Furthermore, if you are working with a "bad" drive which contains the only copy of your data, DO NOT use any "disk recovery" tools until you have cloned the bad drive, and made a copy of the clone. ĭO NOT attempt to use any "disk recovery" tools until after you have attempted non-destructive recovery efforts. DO NOT TRY THIS.ĭO NOT attempt to use Disk Utility.app on Mac OS X to break the mirror, as you may lose data. Typically in such a situation (a bad drive in a RAID 1 mirror) one would expect to be able to "break" the RAID 1 mirror, using the software controls you used to establish the mirror, in this case "Disk Utility.app. Read a whole lot about the subject before you try anything, understand what each tool does before you use it, and then read and think some more before you take the first step. The path to doing so is unfortunately not as obvious as it might seem, and not as obvious as it perhaps should be, but it's pretty simple. It's very likely that you can recover your data in this situation (a probable bad disk in a RAID 1 mirror). If you're reading this page, it's because you are trying to find good advice on how to recover data from a bad mirrored drive, also known as RAID 1 (one) on Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server 10.4 (Tiger) or 10.5 (Leopard).įirst, as it says on the cover of the good book, don't panic.
