Problem with install on new compy, something to do with external?

Hello, so I have been having a few problems with installing Arch on my new computer. On my old laptop I never ran into this problem on any distro of LINUX I installed, nor on any other of the systems I have installed Arch on. I believe it might have something to do with the fact that I am running the live cd off of an external dvd drive maybe? I am kind of stuck here, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
If it helps
System Specs:
Motherboard: ASROCK 890FX Deluxe3
Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon HD 5700 Series
Hard Drives: 2 SATA 160gb hd RAID 0, and one 160gb ATA hd
OS: Windows 7 Professional on the RAID 0, hoping to put ARCH on the ATA (I have tried booting the ATA first in the list behind the USB DVDROM to no avail)
External Drive: Sony DVD/CD RW drive DRX-510UL
External DVDROM is the exact same drive I used to install windows 7 professional.
External DVDROM is plugged into one of my USB 2.0 ports, but the error still persists.
I am using the EXACT same disk I used when installing it on my past computer.
Trying to install x86_64 version of Arch, gets past the splash.
Output that I could catch:

You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished

If you need any other info, I can grab it of course.

i see that i have a problem after installing my new hard drive on my macbook pro mid 2009 version. I put a new hard drive, with all of my information from my old drive installed on it, into the computer. but now have the blinking question mark folder. I see that it means that it isn't reading the new hard drive.
did i miss a step between transferring all of my information from my old hard drive to the new hard drive and installing the new hard drive into the computer. I believe that i installed properly. it was quite easy.
thanks for your help

It means there is no bootable system on the drive. If you still have access to the old drive, then I suggest you boot from it then clone it to the new internal drive. Use OPTION boot to boot from the Recovery HD on the old drive:
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
     3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
     4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it
         to the Destination entry field.
     5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
         the Source entry field.
     6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Source means the external old drive. Destination means the new internal drive.

2007 Intel Imac, installed a new Hdd. Started up with the install disc but it doesn't find my Hdd when asking for a destination volume to install the Mac OS. The Hdd is recognized in system profiler. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
The hard drive is not formatted, and it must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" in order to install OS X.
Close the OS X installer, and go to Utilities menu (on the menu bar) > Disk Utility. Then, format your hard drive in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" as Format > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html Finally, close Disk Utility and install OS X

I installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 with windows and when I plog in my new iPod, I get a warning notice telling me to install the 64-bit version, how do I fix this problem?

Please Help I don't know what to do
I just installed the new iTunes 11.1.4 and when I plug in my iPod touch, it sends me a warning note
telling me that the requested software is not installed, to uninstall iTues and install it again with the 64 bit version
I've already tried it but the same thing happens

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, does your device connect without that message now?

Help with Installing a new SSD on my x201

I just purchased a crucial 256gb realssd C300 for my 2month old x201. What is the best way to install the new SSD. I have read that a simple cloning may not be the best approach. Can I do a clean install by using the boot disk I made when I first got the x201 along with the recovery media disks? I searched for a thread on this but haven't been able to find any.
Thanks in advance.

Your old HDD should be already aligned, so cloning is not a problem.
Installing seven from a vanilla media or from the lenovo original media should lead also in aligned partition(s).
You can just check the alignement with Paragon align utility and eventually and you can align after the installation process, whatever method you have choosed to install.

Internal Hard drive start up problems scince installing a new one

Hi All,
I had installed a new WD Green hard drive in my intel 17" iMac.
I set up via Leopard the installation process and all went well (Disk utilities, partition etc).
When I was initially installing applications/upgrades and restarting the computer (not powering off) the system was running well.
So, I powered off and when I came back to the iMac and powered on, I came to a grey screen which showed a folder icon with a question mark in it. It did not recognise my new hard drive.
I went back to the installation disk and pressed the 'C' key and went to disk utilities. It recognised the hard drive and the installed system, and when restarted it booted back into the Leopard OS. I thought all was fixed. I powered off again and the same gray screen and icon came back. (I had previously set via System preferences the start up disk etc).
I reinstalled my original hard drive and powering off and on is not a problem-it booted straight back into Leopard.
Any clues what is going on?
Many Thanks Fred.

I wrote to WD with my WD HDD Model and serial number:
'Is this hard drive bootable with my iMac 17" Intel'?
Reply today:
Thank you for contacting Western Digital Customer Service and Support. My name is Joel O.
I truly apologize that you are having problems with your product. The drive is bootable if you set it up in that way, but try this:
1- Go to ''Finder'' and click on the option ''Go''.
2- Click on ''Utilities''.
3- Click on ''Disk utility''.On that window take a look to see if the drive is listed
4- Click on the drive ( it will appear twice, select the one that shows the capacity)
5- Click on ''First Aid''.
6- Select ''Repair Disk''
I hope that we have met your expectations today and that you are satisfied with our service. If you have any further questions, please reply to this email and we will be happy to assist you further.
Sincerely,

There you go; I did all of that, but as a previous responder suggested keep at it - I will just carry on.

Problem when installing a new version sdk into flex builder 3

i downloaded flex sdk 3.4.0 and unzipped it under the "sdks" floder,i think there should be an "Add" button to let me select it,but the button was gone.

Hi Matt,
Following your observation I have copied the folders:
/templates/client-side-detection
/templates/client-side-detection-with-history
/templates/express-installation
/templates/express-installation-with-history
/templates/no-player-detection
/templates/no-player-detection-with-history

Problems to install my new Illustrator CS6

I bought a new Illustrator CS6 programm in a german shop. TRied to get serial number by internet to get the programm registrated and installed.
After I entered by the code on www.adobe.com/go/getserial_de I only got a link for a Creative Cloud Set up to download.
My CD which I bought is not usable without the serial number.
After Set up Download I can see the APPS, all as test version, Illustrator is marked as " will be installed"
but nothing happens.
Cache is big enough with 550MB I checked it, but it will not download my new version.
People in the shop where I bought it have also tried it without success and told me it is an Adobe problem not theirs.
What shall I do?

Candy,
I believe this is one for Adobe Support (phone),

Problem with installing Paint shop Pro photo X2 on with Vista

Trying to install Paint shop photo x2 on my note book but at the end of the installation it freezes and there seems to be some problem with "registering"...
Corel (supplier of paint shop) now advised me to change some drivers but the links I received are for XP or lower versions.
Is there anybody who had the same problem and find the solution?
i have tried already several things (like shutting down norton, msconfig changes etc)....
Thanks for your help!

Hi
I have noticed that not all programs and applications are compatible and support the Vista OS. Did you check if this program supports Vista?
I think this should be clarified firstly.
I would recommend contacting the Paint shop Pro manufacture for the troubleshooting.
Good luck

How do I install the new "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver?

Hey guys, I'm going to reformat later today and I need instructions on how to install these latest drivers.
Once I reformat, I will install Windows 2000 SP4.
When I reboot, I will insert the CD that came with my Audigy 2 and I will select "Custom Install" and I will select to install everything EXCEPT the driver.
Then when I have installed all the Creative software from the CD that came with my Audigy 2, I will reboot.
Now I will install the "unified series Beta driver with OpenAL support" driver and then reboot.
Is that the correct procedure? If not PLEASE tell me!

My game music always (now I've asked for it!!!) seems to work; have you tried disabling cthelper in your config as that seems to ?$!&^ everything up; on my system it was causing crashes and also meant my system was taking 0 minutes to shut down!
And while we're at it, maybe someone from Creative could expand on the really useful info the guys above have given (thanks guys!).
Oh yeah, one last suggestion for Creative; maybe make the installation of "cthelper" optional in the installation program and/or have a check box in the Creative config software to turn it on off with an explanation as to why people may want to do this (ie may cause problems on some systems)...
