First Aid Not able to fix disk
Hi
I have an iMac with 3 TB Fusion drive, recently I tried to use first aid in the disk utility and it said it could not repair the disk and suggested trying recovery mode. I booted to recovery mode and ran first aid but it said also it could not fix the disk. What are my options is there a good third party utility that can fix the error as I need to upgrade to High Sierra. Currently I am using Sierra and the computer boots and works fine.
Thanks
Ayman
I'm trying to understand the issue you're trying to solve? Is this a disk problem? I ask because in the last sentence you're writing that it's working fine and it boots. So is this the startup disk?
Is this another disk that is not the startup disk and there is a problem with the fusion drive that first aid isn't working?
Are you upgrading from the disk that is currently working on Sierra? is the upgrade you want to do on the fusion drive the fusion drive the same drive?

@ronnie-wong Hi Ronnie
Yes this is the Macintosh HD and it is the only disk I have. The disk does work fine but when I check it with first aid it gives the following error below. Yes I am upgrading from the disk that is currently working on Sierra It is working fine in Sierra (10.12.6) but when I try to upgrade to high sierra it says it can not upgrade because first aid found an error. I am running iMac late 2014.

Sorry about the delay here. The best bet now is that something has corrupted but try rebooting to recovery mode from the internet ( cmd +opt+R) this is a longer process but it should fix it if the disk is not physically damaged.

Try an Ubuntu Live Boot CD or USB drive. You can read the file system and copy your data off the drive.
