Os x file system formatter failed

Same result. I turned off the hard drive then turned it on and tried FAT 32 again. Mac OS Extended You guessed, same result.

What am I doing wrong, or what is wrong with the process or my Mac? More Less. Reply I have this question too I have this question too Me too Me too. All replies Drop Down menu. Loading page content. Jan 15, PM in response to JustPaul In response to JustPaul 5th attempt, this time trying to partition the drive to see if that would work. Resource busy. No standing incident detection or response capability exists.

In the event of a computer security incident, resources are gathered usually from within the constituency to deal with the problem, reconstitute systems, and then 16 stands down. Results can vary widely as there is no central watch or consistent pool of expertise, and processes for incident handling are usually poorly defined. Constituencies composed of fewer than 1, users or IPs usually fall into this category.

One person or a small group is responsible for coordinating security operations, but the heavy lifting is carried out by individuals who are matrixed in from other organizations.

SOCs supporting a small- to medium-sized constituency, perhaps to 5, users or IPs, often fall into this category. A dedicated team of IT and cybersecurity professionals comprise a standing CND capability, providing ongoing services. The resources and the authorities necessary to sustain the day-to-day network defense mission exist in a formally recognized entity, usually with its own budget.

Most SOCs fall into this category, typically serving constituencies ranging from 5, to , users or IP addresses. The Security Operations Center is composed of both a central team as with internal centralized SOCs and resources from elsewhere in the constituency as with internal distributed SOCs.

For larger constituencies, this model strikes a balance between having a coherent, synchronized team and maintaining an understanding of edge IT assets and enclaves.

A coordinating SOC usually provides consulting services to a constituency that can be quite diverse. It typically does not have active or comprehensive visibility down to the end host and most often has limited authority over its constituency. Coordinating SOCs often serve as distribution hubs for cyber intel, best practices, and training. They also can offer analysis and forensics services, when requested by subordinate SOCs. SOCs have matured and adapted to increased demands, a changing threat environment, and tools that have dramatically enhanced the state of the art in CND operations.

We also wish to articulate the full scope of what a SOC may do, regardless of whether a particular function serves the constituency, the SOC proper, or both. Tips, incident reports, and requests for CND services from constituents received via phone, email, SOC website postings, or other methods. Triage and short-turn analysis of real-time data feeds such as system logs and alerts for potential intrusions.

After a specified time threshold, suspected incidents are escalated to an incident analysis and response team for further study. Note: This is one of the most easily recognizable and visible capabilities offered by a SOC, but it is meaningless without a corresponding incident analysis and response capability, discussed below. Collection, consumption, and analysis of cyber intelligence reports, cyber intrusion reports, and news related to information security, covering new threats, vulnerabilities, products, and research.

Materials are inspected for information requiring a response from the Security Operations Center or distribution to the constituency.

Intel can be culled from coordinating SOCs, vendors, news media websites, online forums, and email distribution lists. Synthesis, summarization, and redistribution of cyber intelligence reports, cyber intrusion reports, and news related to information security to members of the constituency on either a routine basis such as a weekly or monthly cyber newsletter or a non-routine basis such as an emergency patch notice or phishing campaign alert.

Intel Creation Primary authorship of new cyber intelligence reporting, such as threat notices or highlights, based on primary research performed by the SOC. For example, analysis of a new threat or vulnerability not previously seen elsewhere. Extracting data from cyber intel and synthesizing it into new signatures, content, and understanding of adversary TTPs, thereby evolving monitoring operations e.

Long-term analysis of event feeds, collected malware, and incident data for evidence of malicious or anomalous activity or to better understand the constituency or adversary TTPs. Holistic estimation of threats posed by various actors against the constituency, its enclaves, or lines of business, within the cyber realm. Often performed in coordination with other cybersecurity stakeholders. Prolonged, in-depth analysis of potential intrusions and of tips forwarded from other SOC members.

It must be completed in a specific time span so as to support a relevant and effective response. This capability will usually involve analysis leveraging various data artifacts to determine the who, what, when, where, and why of an intrusion—its extent, how to limit damage, and how to recover.

An analyst will document the details of this analysis, usually with a recommendation for further action. This activity is distinct from other capabilities because 1 it sometimes involves ad-hoc instrumentation of networks and systems to focus on an activity of interest, such as a honeypot, and 2 an adversary will be allowed to continue its activity without immediately being cut off completely.

This capability is closely supported by trending and malware and implant analysis and, in turn, can support cyber intel creation. Work with affected constituents to gather further information about an incident, understand its significance, and assess mission impact. More important, this function includes coordinating response actions and incident reporting.

This service does not involve the Security Operations Center directly implementing countermeasures. The actual implementation of response actions to an incident to deter, block, or cut off adversary presence or damage.

Possible countermeasures include logical or physical isolation of involved systems, firewall blocks, DNS black holes, IP blocks, patch deployment, and account deactivation. Work with constituents to respond and recover from an incident on-site. This will usually require SOC members who are already located at, or who travel to, the constituent location to apply hands-on expertise in analyzing damage, eradicating changes left by an adversary, and recovering systems to a known good state.

This work is done in partnership with system owners and sysadmins. Work with constituents to recover from an incident remotely. This involves the same work as on-site incident response. However, SOC members have comparatively less hands-on involvement in gathering artifacts or recovering systems. Remote support will usually be done via phone and email or, in rarer cases, remote terminal or administrative interfaces such as Microsoft Terminal Services or Secure Shell SSH.

Gathering and storing forensic artifacts such as hard drives or removable media related to an incident in a manner that supports its use in legal proceedings.

Depending on jurisdiction, this may involve handling media while documenting chain of custody, ensuring secure storage, and supporting verifiable bit-by-bit copies of evidence. SOC members will typically look for initial infection vector, behavior, and, potentially, informal attribution to determine the extent of an intrusion and to support timely response. This capability is primarily meant to support effective monitoring and response.

Analysis of digital artifacts media, network traffic, mobile devices to determine the full extent and ground truth of an incident, usually by establishing a detailed timeline of events.

This leverages techniques similar to some aspects of malware and implant analysis but follows a more exhaustive, documented process. This is often performed using processes and procedures such that its findings can support legal action against those who may be implicated in an incident.

Includes updates and CM of device policies, sometimes in response to a threat or incident. This activity is closely coordinated with a NOC.

This includes care and feeding of SOC IT equipment: servers, workstations, printers, relational databases, trouble-ticketing systems, storage area networks SANs , and tape backup. If the Security Operations Center has its own enclave, this will likely include maintenance of its routers, switches, firewalls, and domain controllers, if any. SOC members involved in this service must have a keen awareness of the monitoring needs of the SOC so that the SOC may keep pace with a constantly evolving consistency and threat environment.

This capability may involve a significant ad-hoc scripting to move data around and to integrate tools and data feeds. Market research, product evaluation, prototyping, engineering, integration, deployment, and upgrades of SOC equipment, principally based on free or open source software FOSS or commercial off-the-shelf COTS technologies.

This service includes budgeting, acquisition, and regular recapitalization of SOC systems. Personnel supporting this service must maintain a keen eye on a changing threat environment, bringing new capabilities to bear in a matter of weeks or months, in accordance with the demands of the mission. Collection of a number of security-relevant data feeds for correlation and incident analysis purposes. This collection architecture may also be leveraged to support distribution and later retrieval of audit data for on-demand investigative or analysis purposes outside the scope of the SOC mission.

And thanks for the green star. Reply Helpful 2 Thread reply - more options Link to this Post. User profile for user: hotdoggyurkeyam hotdoggyurkeyam. I just got the exact same one this weekend and was having the same trouble! Thanks alot Bob! User profile for user: Jonathan Tyler Jonathan Tyler.

I'm having the same problem. In the column on the left there will be several lines for each storage device that presents itself to the system as a "disk". The first such line for any drive names the manufacturer and describes the drive hardware.

That's the hardware description line. Now a hard drive might be partitioned into several "logical volumes", each of which looks like a separate disk to the operating system. Each of those will be listed just under the hardware line for each of your drives -- indented a bit.

For drives that support removable media such as your DVD drive , there will only be a volume line if there is currently media inserted in the drive. Your main hard drive, the one you boot from, likely is partitioned into only one volume so there will only be one line following the hardware line and it will bear the name of your boot disk -- most likely "Macintosh HD". Click on the hardware line to see the partitioning information for that particular physical disk drive at the bottom of the window.

Click on one of the volume lines indented below it e. Partitioning is how the total physical space on the disk drive is divided and organized into one or more logical volumes.

Formatting is how a given logical volume is structured for use by the operating system. User profile for user: einfallslos einfallslos. Dec 31, AM in response to BobP In response to BobP Fantastic, this finally gave me the answer I was looking for, after whole 2 minutes of thinking and 10 seconds of searching. Just for clarification reasons: click on the line of the drive, not the partition, and click the tab "Partition", then look on the bottom for "Options", click that, and do as he explained select GUID for Intel Macs.

Thought that might be helpful, I still had to look around a short while.. User profile for user: Calm Calm. I am not seeing the "GUID" partition type. Mind you, mine is not an Intel based Mac.

Like Scott before me, emails and phone calls to the drive mfg. Thanks for any help you can provide. Jan 1, AM in response to einfallslos In response to einfallslos Between the original gentleman's response and your clarification this solved my problem. This is what makes these forums worthwhile, thanks to both you all.
