Solution To Fix Error Disk When macOS Disk Utility Failed To Repair

When the hard drive on macOS is experiencing problems, you will experience some very alarming events. Such as not being able to save any files/data, can't delete, even in bad conditions.We cannot access disk partitions.
When we try to fix it with a disk utility, sometimes it doesn't solve the problem, and show you repaire failed message.

If you are experiencing something like this, there's no harm in trying to fix it manually using the fsck_hfs command via the terminal app. Follow the video above to finish.

🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️🛡️
Alternative command, if you still failed with above way:
fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/diskXsX

change diskXsX to your related partition.
and use in recovery mode, or you can try in single user mode.

The last sudo common worked for me after trying it several times and it kept running through the process and failing. After several attempts of entering the command in terminal, it finally was able to repair it. Thanks so much!

my main internal disk is not even showing from that terminal also. what can i do. dont have backup so don't want to erase it

I want to reinstall high sierra. Went to internet recovery mode and formatted the internal hard drive to apfs (as suggested by apple website) but high sierra could not be installed and i got the error "recovery server cannot be contacted" the reason being it does not like apfs format. I used the disk utility again to format the hard drive to extended journaled but the operation failed and the hard drive ever since is in an unmounted state. Is there a way to mount it again and format it to extended journaled from the terminal in internet recovery mode?

My last message get from this method and the fsck_hfs -rc -d /dev/diskXsX tell me that the harddish could not be verified completely. Is the same when I run the normal disk utility. And when repair...it also not successful. Is there way I still can still recover files from this harddisk? I cant even safe boot my system now.

I found that if you don’t know the drive just put in disc 1 if you have like me only 1 disk. I also reinstalled the OS which I couldn’t do it before.
