OSD on laptop with multiple disks

Just got in some Dell Precision M3800 laptops. I've got OSD working on every other model desktop and laptop we have but someone decided we need 2 harddrives in the M3800s. One is SSD and the other is standard. Unfortunately for me, the
awesome people at Dell put the SSD as disk 1. My goal is to get the OS installed on the SSD but it's not working as I'd planned.
If I format both drives in the task sequence as primary partitions, it will assign C: to disk 0 and D: to disk 1. I thought that if I reversed the sequence of those tasks, I could get it to assign C: to disk 1 but it will start with D: and then move
on to disk 0 which it gives the C: partition.
The only way I've been able to get C: assigned to the partition on disk 1 is to format disk 0 as an extended partition, but once the sequence gets to the apply OS step, it bombs out
with (0x80070032)
I've tried using the variables and that doesn't work. I've tried pointing to disk 1, partition 1 and that doesn't work either. I can get it to successfully build if I set both partitions as primary and apply the OS to the next available partition,
but it loads the OS on the non-SSD drive.
I'm out of ideas to get this to work. Anyone have any ideas?

Did you get anywhere with this? I have the same issue.

How to deal with multiple disk path's

hi
i'm setting up a new server with virtual servers with extra io domain's
now i have a question on how to deal with multiple disk path's
so following questions:
- can i enable multipath on the primary and on the alternate domain?
i tried this but when rebooting the alternate the alternate keep's freezing and the only solution is to hard stop it and it's depending host
- if i can't enable multipathing how to handle this
for example a disk has on the primary domain 4 path's to a disk
do i then assign all 4 path's to a virtual disk server or do i create a virtual disk server per path
if i do the first is adding all the path to the same mpgroup enough or not

Hello
1.-can i enable multipath on the primary and on the alternate domain? Yes. i understand for multipath mpxio or similar.
2.-i tried this but when rebooting the alternate the alternate keep's freezing and the only solution is to hard stop it and it's depending host
if you are going to use alternate domain you have to give this IO the all bus root nexus, what you describe sounds like DIO,
3.- - if i can't enable multipathing how to handle this for example a disk has on the primary domain 4 path's to a disk
If you have 4 path to the same disk in the primary and you are using multipath let's say mpxio, then you will have only one disk in the primary, which is a virtual device that handle the 4 paths. That's is what you have to use in a vds.
Please check this doc to see the best practice to ldom

Time Machine with Multiple Disk

I wanted to know if it is possible to have multiple time machine disk. I was thinking about have one disk at home, and taking another disk offsite. I was thinking about switching these disc out like once a month or something like that so I always have a copy of my Itunes Library and other important files off site, and also so that I have another backup incase both my Imac hard drive, and my backup drive both stop working at the same time.

Can you "fool" Time Machine into backing up to two separate volumes by giving them the same name?
You wouldn't connect them at the same time... you'd connect one at work during the day and the other at home at night time.
That way one backup (the one at work, say) stores all your changes during the course of the day and then the other one (say at home) backs up all your changes made at night.
They would each, of course, back up all changes made since last connected (for example, as soon as you connect your "home" drive it will automatically back up all the changes you made during the day in one fell swoop, then make incremental backups during the rest of the evening).
PS: I am using SuperDuper right now to clone a TM backup to another drive but I want to be able to use both drives in turn to make incremental backups (once I've completed the clone).

It is possible you can download but you haven't indicated the name of the software so only a general download link can be provided at this point.

HT1661 Problems mounting Imac in target disk mode on retina laptop with a solid state drive as host

I'm trying to use an Imac in target disk mode to copy files from it to a new retina display laptop with a solid state drive, but the target drive will not mount even tho it does start in target disk mode. I have all the proper firewire connection. The Imac will not respond for more than a few minutes before crashing when started from its own system. I would like to salvage a few files from it before I perform a clean install of the system.
Anyone has any idea why it wont mount in Target mode onto the retina laptop? Help!
Thanks in advance. :-)

Mac OS X doesn't offer a "clean install" option.
I'm assuming your target Mac is running 10.6?
And you setup the target Mac without adding a Firewire cable until after the Firewire logo appears on the screen?

I have Vista Home Basic on my laptop and want to use it on my Imac. How do I get it on with no disks, as it came preloaded?

Thanks

As I have said before, AppleHFS.sys for one thing can interfere.
MacDrive or Paragon HFS help.
Paragon works
So yes if you can then use Paragon or something, though only one person has come here and really said they used Disk Utility. Not enough to endorse.
Windows 8 CP is what I use and it is more stable reliable etc etc than Windows 7 was on Mac Pro 1,1.
But why pop into someone's thread.

AEBS Shared Disk structure with multiple drives?

I recently added a second HD to my AEBS 802.11n. I was sharing the first disk on my network with "User Accounts". This created a /Users/<user-share> structure on the shared disk so that each user had their own private share point. With the new disk, however, the AEBS creates a folder called /Shared on the second disk and ALL accounts use that directory as a share point on the new drive, i.e. all files from UserA are accessible by UserB. I've tried PUTING the /Users/<user-share> structure on the second drive (by connecting it to my mac, creating the directories, and reconnecting it to the AEBS), but the AEBS still uses the /Shared directory.
Any ideas? Any further comments on how the AEBS handles shares with multiple accounts and multiple disks?
Apple's documentation is VERY poor on this topic, it is a bit disappointing.

Sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users

Greetings,
I have been troubleshooting a problem sharing iTunes on a single computer with multiple users that cropped up a few weeks ago and have not had very good luck.
Several months ago I successfully set up my wife’s G4 Laptop (PowerPC processor) so that we could share iTunes on that computer. I had just gotten her an “My Book” external hard drive (Western Digital). The iTunes Library will go on this new unit because the internal drive was running out of room. I successfully set the privileges, moved the entire library onto a “Share” directory and everything worked fine.
In this way, when I got a new CD I could add it to iTunes (under my login, administrator privileges) and she could access it (under her login) to listen to while working on the computer or using her iPod. This arrangement went well for quite awhile.
About a month and a half ago, when I tried to launch iTunes from my login I received this message:
“The iTunes Library file is locked, on a locked disk, or you do not have write permission for this file.”
I think the permissions must have changed when there was an update because my wife is pretty careful about what she does on her computer. Updates were the only thing I could think of that had changed since I had set her computer up. I also noticed that some of the iTunes defaults were different from the last time I had used it to add a CD.
So, I did some reading and went back through the motions of trying to set it up again. I re-formatted the My Book hard drive to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) added the files back to the external, reset permissions on the external hard drive. (Owners: System, Access: read and write - Group: wheel, Access: read and write – Others: read and write).
When I now launch iTunes under my login I get this message:
“The operation cannot be completed because you do not have sufficient privileges for some of the items.”
What gives? I am the original owner and have always had top-level privileges.
Can someone point me to any articles or clues as to how I need to set-up iTunes on a single computer to be shared by more than one user? Also, I am considering upgrading to the newer system in a few weeks, so if a solution for OS X 10.5 is available, that would work too.
Tim

Was your wife logged into the libray at the time you tried to log in? I have had a similar problem and it was because another user was logged into the library when I attempted to. I got the permission denied banner.

Mat****a DVD-Ram UJ-841S comes up with multiple error messages

My laptop is relatively new, I've been Burning some Video files to DVD-RWs and suddenly my DVD drive has stopped working. It come up with multiple error messages ''format failed due to media damage'', ''format failed due to general failure'' and ''the disk inserted is READ ONLY''.
I also can't rip music from disks.

By ODD the simply optical drive is meaning
You could try to remove the drive from the device manager. Then reboot your unit and then the drive should be recognized again. Check if you can burn another medias
But if you are not able to burn ONLY the DVD-RW in my opinion its not a hardware malfunction.
The RW medias must be firstly formatted before burning.
> 'format failed due to media damage'', ''format failed due to general failure'' and ''the disk inserted is READ ONLY''
The error messages in your first posting bake up my suggestion
Furthermore you have to check different brands. Not all medias are supported!

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

I need to install the HP drivers on a laptop with a broken screen in order to get VGA port to work.

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
Hewlett Packard Model: 2000 2a20ca Notebook
Oh my god please give me some insight here, it is so hard to find the right answers and I refuse to lose to this technical box that's driving me nuts! So here's the run down:
My screen broke on laptop...fine. It was connected via HDMI to TV and working fine. Until one day it decided to not turn on. I think due to Windows updates and hubby had no patience so kept restarting
I tried to reload Windows on it, not thinking about the drivers, and I'm pretty sure I managed to reload Windows. Now I need the drivers to install chipset, networking etc. (which I have a disc for)
The problem is I cannot see the screen in order to click "install", I can't see the BIOS or the boot sequence. Ugh! And even if I could, the drivers are not installed to use the CD ROM or VGA port.
I can HEAR Windows start up and turn on! Doo-DO-Doo-DO lol the darn thing is working!
The monitor works in my other laptop.
Would/Should the VGA monitor work if I could get it to start in safe mode?
I've heard of a program that can streamline the driver's into a Windows installation disc so everything is installed altogether but how can I reinstall Windows if the drivers aren't loaded for the CD ROM?
Is there a way to get the necessary drivers installed? or is this notebook now garbage?

Seriously?
1. The model number is the first thing at the top aside from the OS.
2. In my explanation it states: "I have the drivers on a disk"
Thanks for all your help!
Getting the drivers is not the problem. Getting the drivers installed on a laptop with a broken screen...is the problem.
Ok, well sometimes you can't use external monitor to see what is happening in some laptops and the only real way to fix this is to fix the broken screen so you can reformat and resinstall the system again. Those are you only options at this point in time.
