  • error 19 dsNoPk2: package 2 not present

What are the common causes of Mac error code 19 dsNoPk2 package 2 not present [Disk Initialization]?

The common causes of Mac error code 19 dsNoPk2 package 2 not present [Disk Initialization] is bad sector in memory, error in driver or files, exploring of virus attack, malware attack, missing or corrupt files, unable to get along software or driver installation, kernel panic etc.


One thing to try...

Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), does the problem occur in Safe Mode?


Safe mode attempts to repair Disks & clears lots of caches, so if Safe Mode works try again in regular boot.
