Hello everyone, I just found this list when researching online and I really hope that someone out there is still listening to this list :).
I am currently trying to migrate my moms data from an old Mac Performa to some new system. My aim is not even to get rid of the system but at least to have a functional copy of the data somewhere.
Unfortunately I experience a problem when mounting the disk in my linux, saying: " Sory, can't mount volume: error reading from medium (Input/output error)" I get the same error when using hmount.
That's why I started to ask a question here: https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/17608/how-to-mount-macint... .
I would love to draw your attention on my problem and on my question and hope that someone out there can help me saving another Macintosh.
Best regards Christoph Behlau
I put a full answer on https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/17608/how-to-mount-macint... But in essence, either your disk is inaccessible (maybe permissions/ maybe corruption), or the driver that's supposed to understand hfs isn't working. First try to make a copy of the raw disk, then try to access that using the various tools. You'll be unable to make a copy, if you don't have permission, or if its physically corrupt. Si

Hi Simon, thank you very much for your imideate response! I still can't believe it. I am not sure if you got my mail now twice (once private and once via mailing-list). How ever: Thank you very much for your reply! It gave me new hope and I will continue and keep the post there updated.
Have a great new year, keep healthy and keep fine. Best greetings from Germany Christoph
