Welcome to the Autodesk Forums!
Hi,
Seems you can find the answer here:
AutoCAD for Mac wont run on hard drive with Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive Journaled) format
Maxim
Hi! Yes, I have verified and repaired hard disk to no avail. I have tried reinstalling the OS itself but that didn't help either. Am attaching the screenshots you asked for.
Yes. And formatted it as Mac OS Extended (Jourmaled). I've done this kind of thing before and I'm pretty comfy around both hardware and software. Which is why I'm quite frustrated with this state of affairs!
Very strange...
Here is the script which installer runs during installation to check file system:
#!/bin/sh export DiskUtilCmd="/usr/sbin/diskutil" export DefaultsUtilCmd="/usr/bin/defaults" export SystemVolume="/" export TempName=`mktemp -q -t sys_vol_attr` export TempPListName="${TempName}.plist" export FSAttributeName="FilesystemName" # Following is the explaination of each file system we can detect ########################################################################################### # Value from DiskUtil | Value shown in Finder # --------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------- # Journaled HFS+ | Mac OS Extended (Journaled) # HFS+ | Mac OS Extended # Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+ | Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive, Journaled) # Case-sensitive HFS+ | Mac OS Extended (Case-sensitive) # MS-DOS FAT32 | MS-DOS (FAT) export HFSPlus_J="Journaled HFS+" export HFSPlus="HFS+" export HFSPlus_J_CS="Case-sensitive Journaled HFS+" export HFSPlus_CS="Case-sensitive HFS+" export MSDOS_FAT32="MS-DOS FAT32" ${DiskUtilCmd} info -plist "${SystemVolume}" > "${TempPListName}" if [ -f "${TempPListName}" ]; then export FileSystem=`${DefaultsUtilCmd} read "${TempName}" "${FSAttributeName}"` echo "The file system of ${SystemVolume} is ${FileSystem}" # cleanup rm -rf "${TempName}" rm -rf "${TempPListName}" if [[ "${FileSystem}" == "${HFSPlus_J}" ]] then echo "Supported file system (${FileSystem}) detected on ${SystemVolume}" else echo "Unsupported file system (${FileSystem}) detected on ${SystemVolume}" echo "Only ${HFSPlus_J} (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) is the supported file system" exit 1 fi else echo " Failed to determine file system format " fi exit 0
What if you try to run this script in the Terminal and see what result will you get.
Maxim
Ok. Now this is certainly beyond weird. This is what I get:
The file system of / is Journaled HFS+
Supported file system (Journaled HFS+) detected on /
Thanks a ton Maxim. I'll try again. But my internet is super slow here, takes 4hrs to download the installer. Will have a go and let you know how it went. Cheers!
Hi again! Its a no-go. Tried re-downloading and the error stays the same. Any way to force install without the filesystem check? Thanks!
I don't have any antivirus installed. The info for the drive and the partition are in the screenshots. I would really appreciate if you could guide me towards installing without the check. AutoCAD 2011 too fails to install, but that says its due to unsupported Graphics Card — which is again not the case. I have tried running the installers as admin, and also copied to the desktop. Nothing so far. Thanks!
