250 gig detection problem

Does anyone know if the msi 845e max2 mobo is compatible with the MaXLine Plus II 250 gig drive? i have just bought one and cannot get it to be detected in windows xp pro correctlyi have the latest bios update for the board.
anyone have any ideas?

To double confirm if LBA is being enabled in your BIOS, you can always access your BIOS and check under your standard CMOS setup and check your HDDs status and see if LBA is On.

OK HERE IS WHERE I AM AT HARD DRIVE WENT DOWN UPGRADED TO A 250 GIG AND NOW NEED TO KNOW HOW TO INSTALL OSX ON THE POWERBOOK G4 17

I have a powerbook g4 17 and it recently went down the hard drive sounded like it was eating itself so i replaced the hard drive with a 250 gig and now i need help on how to get osx onto the powerbook it will not boot from disk i will start all the back at 0s9 if need be can anyone please help me i miss my g4

Do you have any OSX disks?
It won't boot from the new hard drive yet because there is no OS installed.
You need to use an OSX disk, put in your mac, then when turn on, hold down the C key (to boot from the CD).
Hold it down for a long time until you hear it noisily reading from the CD drive. Once OSX starts up (from CD) you should go to Disk utility and you will need to format your new hard drive.
Once formatted, you can then install OSX.
Everything is done from the OSX install disk.
If you don't have one, you can buy a retail copy from Apple (not Snow Leopard), or from Ebay. Make sure it is a retail copy, not disks that came with a Mac as they only work with the exact model of Mac it came with.

Detection problems in IE?

I discovered last night that the Javascript Flash detection
is no longer working in Internet Explorer on either of my
computers. The script cannot recognize that I have Flash installed.
I'm not sure exactly when it quit working, but I went back and
looked at sites I haven't touched in months that WERE working, and
it doesn't work on any of them now. I recently did a Windows update
on both computers so it's possible something happened, but I
haven't been able to find any info online about any issues. If I
disable Flash detection, everything runs fine, so my Flash
component itself seems to work properly.
On this computer, I have Internet Explorer 6.0.2900... and
the Shockwave Flash object lists file Flash9.ocx. I tried updating
to the most recent version of Flash on my laptop and that didn't
fix the detection problems.
I'm using the standard script detection from Flash
Professional 8.0. The problem seems to be with the lines:
set swControl =
CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash." + CStr(i))
if (IsObject(swControl)) then
The If statement is returning false for every version. Anyone
have any ideas about what could be causing this?
Edit: Ok, if I change the line above to:
set swControl = CreateObject("ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash")
Then the IsObject() function returns true. And the line below
that:
swVersion = swControl.GetVariable("$version")
seems to return the correct version.
So far, in my testing, this actually seems to work. (Although
I can't be sure if it works on browsers that aren't broken the way
mine seems to be.) So did something happen that suddenly makes IE
not allow you to create the object using the version number? And do
you NEED to use the version number?

Sounds like there may be a problem with your install ..
perhaps you have two
different play version on your PC (eg you've installed a
newer version, but
old one didn't fully uninstall itself).
One possible solution (if that is the case) is to run the
uninstall utility
from Adobe, then search your harddrive for any files matching
*flash*.ocx ..
and if they are actually flash players (look at properties
version info tab
to ensure they are macromedia/adobe flash player ocx's -
don't want to kill
something to do with flash memory (say)) then delete them.
Also kill off
the c:\windows\system\macromed\flash folder .. so then you
have no flash
player ocx left. Then go to the Adobe web site and
re-download/install the
latest Flash Player. NOTE: if you do this, be very careful
you only delete
things that can safely be deleted without causing problems
elsewhere.

Hello, Trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick).60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached which is single partitioned. Keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space"

Hello,
I'm trying to run Bootcamp on my 15" Macbook Pro (Maverick). I have 60 gig available on my computer's hard drive and have 250 gig on a separate hard drive that I have attached, which is single partitioned (MS-DOS FAT). It keeps saying "The startup disk does not have enough space, you must have 28 gig of free space available" Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the advice Bob The Fisherman. I'm just reading what turbostar has kindly written and it appears that perhaps, if I take advice from you both, I need to free more space up on the computer's hard drive?
With the external hard drive; would it be advisable to defragment? Know of any defrag freeware for Mac OSX?
Many thanks to you both.

250 gig HD or 160 gig HD?

I want to run alot of tracks with efx, so if I get the 250 gig will it allow me to run more tracks because its got more room? Or will the 160 gig do just as many tracks?

As long as it is 7200rpm and 16MB cache, performance should be similar. The perpendicular drives are a new technology, but I haven't seen any benchmarks of how they work for audio.
I'd say go with the biggest you can afford. You will always need more space, eventually.

250 GIG drive formats to only 233 GIGs. Is this normal?

Hello,
I have read that when you format a drive the file system takes some of the space on this disk. I just formatted a new 250 Hitachi T7K250 SATA drive and it formats to 232.67 GIGs. Does this sound right? I thought it might result in about 240 GIGs but it seems to me I am loosing some disk space somewhere. Or is this normal? I thought I would write this post just to confirm that this is normal hard drive formatting behaviour.
I formatted the disk with Tiger's Disk Utility and I chose the "write zeros" option.
I have also read that there may appear to be lost space on the drive due to the various ways Gigabytes are measured.
Is 233 Gigs a normal formatted amount for a 250 Gig drive?
Thanks.

Not exactly. Can you express it in powers of 1024?
Yes. Inherently, however, it's all powers of 2.
That's right but you are not using the the powers 2^x, (x not equal
10,20,30,...), so effectively you are using base 1024.
2^10 equals 1024^1, which is 1 kilobyte.
2^20 equals 1024^2, which is 1 megabyte.
2^30 equals 1024^3, which is 1 gigabyte.
Exactly and only powers of 1024 have a name. So when it comes to drive sizes only powers of 1024 are relevent.
So actually you are using
1024^1 = 2^10 (kilo)
1024^2 = 2^20 (mega)
1024^3 = 2^30 (giga)
So, drive sizes are specified as powers of 2, which
can also be expressed as powers of 1024 (but computer
scientists never talk about powers of 1024, they talk
about powers of 2).
Yes but sometimes if makes sense to talk in powers of 16 (hexadecimal) and
powers of 1024. It used mainly because it can be expressed as a power of two, but still the base remains 16 or 1024.

How come only half of my 250 gig firewire drive is available?

i just installed a new Samsung 250 gig IDE drive into a firewire enclosure. I know that there will be some overhead for formatting and such, but only 127.8 gig is available out of 250 gig. Am I missing something or is this normal. How can I get it to recognize the entire drive?

How old is that enclosure? Sounds like it has an ATA controller inside that doesn't have support for 48 bit addressing and can only address 128 gigabytes.
Send it back and get an enclosure that supports the ATA-6 48 bit addressing standard or don't use a drive larger than 128 gigabytes in it.

Dropped Lacie 250 Gig -- Power plug broke off. Help!

It happens to the best of us. I accidently knocked my 250 gig Lacie Hardrive off my desk and it fell on the ground. The male power plug with 4 prongs broke off inside the female portion of the plug. In other words, the female part of the power plug in the Lacie drive where you insert the power plug is broken because the power plug prongs broke off the male power cord and are stuck inside.
I have no idea what to do. Can I fix this power plug? Can I pull out the metal prongs that are stuck inside the female part and buy a new power cord? Do I need to pull ou the hard drive and buy a new Lacie case? I appreciate your help in advance. I can't believe I did this and I am hoping for a good solution.

If I understand your situation correctly, you might be able to pull the broken pins out of the socket and buy a new power supply. I'm not sure which one you have, perhaps like this:
http://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?pid=10735
Of course, something else may be broken inside from the fall, including the drive.
You can identify parallel ATA/IDE drives by a large ribbon connector on the end, plus the 4 pin power connector. Serial drives have the power connector and a small single wire serial connector. My guess, if you have the common LaCie silver drive, is that it's a parallel.

250 Gig disks in Ultra 5

Hi
can anybody tell me if it is possible/recommended to use a 250 Gig IDE-disk in a SUN Ultra5 Workstation?

I did lot of experimeting with HDDs of different sizes in Ultra 5/10 and my experience is that WD 120GB drives work good and you can use them to their full capacity.
Even if you buy 160GB drive it is not guaranteed that you'll be able to use 137GB, that is an estimate based on old ATA specification and ability of IDE controller to address that amount of space (137GB limit on older ones).
Depending on geometry of the drive (even for drives smaller than 137MB) my experience was that sometimes for some drives I would get random value that was available to me, for example for some Maxtor and Segate 80GB drives I would get only 16GB available.
WD drives were consinstently recognised to their full capacity and they perform good. I have couple of them concainated so I get 200GB available for my web server which is not so bad. I also managed to squeeze 3x120GB drives in Ultra 10, so you get 360GB which is not bad at all. You can easily install 2x120GB drives in Ultra 5.
Regards.

The saga of the lost 250 gig drive!

Solaris Express Developer 5/07 5.11 x86 install Asus P5RD2-VM Seagate drives:
Disks c1d0 c2d0 Solaris configures via installer c1d0(boot) allowed to use entire drive.
Disk two c2d0 is already configured with Bootloader (/dev/sda) sda1 60 gig ext3 (Ubuntu) sda2 1 gig swap remainder sda3 fat32 for joint access.
Solaris Management Console states the disk (c1d0) it set up fails to have a Solaris partition and wants to fdisk it. Hmm problem? Secondly despite extensive testing I can't mount (sda3) for access.
The attempts: � mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c2d0s2 /mnt/aux � i've tried scsi c2t0d0s2 also with partition 0-9 to no avail. However plug in my usb 250 and it mounts with no problem.
I have installed Solaris numerous times and even wiped both drives and put Solaris on the small drive.
I always get the same balk from 'SMC' stating a non Solaris fdisk that it setup. Attempting to identify the correct partition via dd if=drive bs=512 count=1 of=find_that_#!&* still left me out in the cold looking for a solution. Windows, Ubuntu, Mandrake and Dsl can all see the drives with no problem.
The oddest thing of the whole ridiculous episode is when I re-installed the last time Solaris added a grub line for Windows for the disk partition it refuses to mount.
Gparted Solaris where are you?
Any ideas greatly appreciated. I should note the re-installs are simply an attempt to resolve inability to access the fat32 partition, Solaris itself is stable and just as healthy as it can be.
