Mac OSX 10.4 or Tiger Compatible Disk Utility

Apple has introduced its one of the best ever addition for Mac OS called Mac OS X 10.4 or Tiger which is the fifth addition in Mac OS X series,This series is widely used as desktop and server operating system. If you are getting, the following error message in Mac OS X 10.4 that can be untrue in its sense:“Cannot be rebuilt. The original directory is too severely damaged”This happens while trying disk repair using Disk Utility. Disk utility is meant for several disk related tasks in Mac OS X such as disk repair, format and others such.

But, in this case the errors may not mean what they state, Directory may not be damaged. The statement indicates that data loss has occurred, which may not be a fact. But, if you instantaneously go for the correction, it may occur actually and Mac recovery may be needed. In reality, the reason could be the incompatible disk utility. Tiger supports Extended Attributes, which was not there in earlier versions of Mac OS X.

So when the incompatible disk utility starts the repair function, it takes the Extended Attributes as Directory corruption.Thus this is advised not to use disk utility which is not compatible with Tiger or in case of unawareness; you may actually lose the data. In case, the third party disk utilities are used, confirm it first that it is compatible with Mac OS X 10.4. However, some unaware users commit some directory repair mistakes which ultimately lead towards data loss.

Thus the fact of disk utility incompatibility with Tiger may cost them at need of Mac recovery software.Mac data recovery is possible and data recovery engineers have made it through the advent of Mac data recovery tools. These applications have been made potent to scan the hard drive for the lost data. Lost data doesn’t go anywhere, that’s the fact and Mac recovery applications can recover it until data overwriting may come into play.

Macintosh Data Recovery is the application with power to effectively scan and retrieve the lost data. Compatible with HFS, HFS+, HFSX and HFS Wrapper file systems, this data recovery Mac software recovers data in each case.
