I removed tech tool pro 5 (trashed it since the uninstaller won't work w/Lion) but the e-drive still shows up on the desktop at startup. How do I get rid of it?
Intel Imac g5, Mac OS X (10.4.10)
You may want to use a utility such as AppCleaner. This should remove all traces of the app. You can find AppCleaner at:
AppCleaner wants you to find the app and delete it. I can't find any traces of tech tool/micromat files anywhere on my iMac. The eDrive loaded on the desktop this morning when I booted up.
OK, well keep AppCleaner for future needs then, it's a handy utility.
I will keep the app, thx. When I followed Micromat's last step to reclaim the disk space used by the eDrive, Disk Utility displayed this:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking file systemPerforming live verification.
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.
Checking catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Incorrect number of file hard links
Checking catalog hierarchy.
Checking extended attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
The volume Macintosh HD was found corrupt and needs to be repaired.
Error: This disk needs to be repaired. Start up your computer with another disk (such as your Mac OS X installation disc), and then use Disk Utility to repair this disk.
I'm waiting for my copy of Drive Genius to arrive to hopefully correct this situation. I dowloaded Lion but did not see a way to create a startup disk for just this type of situation. So it looks like I have a whole new problem to deal with! (sorry the color turned red)
If you have the original Install Disk that came with the computer you can run Disk Utility from it and run Repair Disk.
I don't have an install disk for Lion, I grabbed it thru the App Store.
There is no disc for Lion, I said the Oringinal Install disc, this is the disc that shipped with the computer.
I did use the original install disc, but all I got was the spinning beach ball of death. I appreciate everything you're doing for me here.
