[845 Series] Does my MS-6507 motherboard support 200gb hard drives???

I just recently bought a Maxtor 200gb hard drive and can only see 127gb of it when I installed it. So I'm wondering does my motherboard (MS-6507) even support 200gb hard drives? If so, do I just need to update BIOS or my OS (Win XP service pack 2) and I should see the remaining? Thanks!!!

Answerd in your bios post, so I will close this one.

HT204057 Why does Time Machine no longer support external hard drives connected to an Airport Extreme base station?

I'm pretty sure that upto a few months ago I had a hard disk connected via USB to my Airport Extreme and I was able to backup all the computers on my home network. However, somehow over the last few months this had stopped happening. I am not able to select my network disks for time machine backup.
There is a very unhelpful sentence on Apple's website which simply says it does not allow backup to hard disks connected to Airport Extreme via USB. Does anyone know why this is? Is there a way around this? Can I connect a drive to my desktop computer and have other computers backup through the network to that?

This was never an approved configuration: OS X Mountain Lion: Disks you can use with Time Machine
Can I connect a drive to my desktop computer and have other computers backup through the network to that?
The above KB article indicates you can, though I have not personally tried it.

Will k8n sli platinum support 3TB hard drives

Folks,
will the k8n sli platinum motherboard support 3TB hard drives? I have a 3TB hard drive that displays as 746GB. Latest bios is on board and running win7 64bit.
Many thanks
Dave

in the BIOS it states 3TB under the hard drive section, however that might just mean it's reading the drives properties and not it's capabilities if you know what I mean.
In the motherboards raid setup only 746GB on each drive is available and within Windows only 746GB is available.
I've read somewhere that's it's got something to do with 32bit "storage" hardware systems only being able to address 2.2GB or close to that. I think I'm gonna have to upgrade.
cheers

HT201250 What does it mean to "partition" an external hard drive? Is it something that I want to do?

What does it mean to "partition" the external hard drive? Is it something I want to do? How do I save files from another hard drive to the new one? I have to reformat the old one as it was not set up correctly. The drive I have is Seagate but not specifically for MAC, so I have to format it.. never have done this before. Don't know the jargon. I read that Time Machine will back up automatically but I want to take files from the old drive to the new one. Do I have to take them to the computer first and then to the new drive? I need more memory on my computer. It's way too cluttered and congested. HELP!

Whoa! Slow donw. TRhere's a lot here. I would suggest you buy a good book on computers in general or macs in particular, one is "OSX the missing manual".
What does it mean to "partition" the external hard drive?
It means you take one large drive and make it into more than one volume. This means that it might show up as 2,3 or 4 inde[pendenmt drives. Each one could have, for example, a different operating system on it. Its a good thing to do if you want to use a drive for several purposes
Is it something I want to do?
beats me, you didnt way what you're trying to accomplish. Sorta like sking "should i turn left?" Depends on where you want to go.
How do I save files from another hard drive to the new one?
See advice n book above. Copy them in finder. Copy them in unix. Use a backup or sync utility. No different from Windows in that respect.
I have to reformat the old one as it was not set up correctly. The drive I have is Seagate but not specifically for MAC, so I have to format it.. never have done this before. Don't know the jargon.
Hook it up. Run disk utility. Partition 1 or more partions. GUID map. Format each partition Mac OS extended, Journaled. for more, read book, above. Seriously - we could give you more tips, but you really should learn enough to be comnfident.
I read that Time Machine will back up automatically but I want to take files from the old drive to the new one. Do I have to take them to the computer first and then to the new drive?
I have no idea what you are asking.
I need more memory on my computer. It's way too cluttered and congested. HELP!
What kind of memory and why? RTAM? Hard drive space? Explain. By the time you are done explaining, i suspect you will have ansered your own question.
Good luck,
Have you read the PDF manual for your cmputer?
Have you used a search engine to look for info, for example, in two seconds i got this from google and wikipedia:

What does Apple HW Test really test about hard drive?

My 2002 FP iMac was recently jolted. The internal hard drive is no longer recognized. Here is what I know:
When I boot with the Apple Hardware Test CD which came with the computer, it does not recognize anything wrong with the hard drive.
When I boot from an external hard drive, I get a dialog with buttons to Initialize, Ignore, or Eject the hard drive.
When I open Disk Utility (external HD boot), it can see the disk, but says it is unformatted.
I also downloaded a trial data recovery program and it could not find anything identifiable on the hard drive.
I don't really know what the Apple Hardware Test program tests with the hard drive, so I don't know how to interpret the information I have.
My questions:
Is there any hope for salvaging anything from the hard drive? (Probably not?)
Is the drive itself likely to be OK if I format and re-install my OS? (Is that what the HW Test is telling me?)
I have not tried to format the drive, because there are a few things I would really like to salvage. I have also not opened it up to examine anything on the inside because I would not know what to look for.
Suggestions for how to proceed will be welcome.

The data on the ill-fated hard drive may be recoverable; could be
there has been damage to the drive or the software on it that lets
the computer read files from the drive.
Some disk utilities such as Disk Warrior could see about trying to
fix the drive; although if physical damages exist, it can't fix that.
The booted OS X Installer's Disk Utility has options in the Installer
menu bar (drop down menu to select other things, when not just
reinstalling) and you could see if OS X's Disk Utility from the booted
Installer disc could give you a status report on the drive in Verify, &
also see what it says about 'Repair drive' when chosen to try a fix.
Sometimes, the OS X's Disk Utility can't fix something, and at that
point, other utilities (retail on DVD) may be able to. Then, the tossup
is, whether or not you want to pay for the utility to fix an old drive, or
put the money into a new one.
Data Recovery software is available as download, so if the old hard
disk drive were removed from the computer and a new drive put in,
later on the failed drive could be investigated through use of software
(such as those which can recover, then you pay to unlock results)
and that is another way to consider addressing the old drive contents.
Some would suggest, if you had Disk Warrior or some other disk utility
that could fix the old drive good enough to try and get data off it, maybe
even a full clone or just the files you need, then you would not need to
get the data recovery software. Of course, that software which runs to
see if you have recoverable files, can do that part for free.
The AHT may see the drive is present, while not recognizing a
failure in its firmware or in its directory, etc. Some kinds of disk
utilities can try to rebuild and replace a damaged directory or
other bits of software on the drive so it can be read again.
Usually, the test for the hard disk drive is Disk Utility on the
OS X Installer; and that gives you the boot version that sees
even a healthy drive as an unmounted and repairable volume
when it is correct and not beyond the limited ability of the utility.
Hopefully something practical comes from all these words...
Good luck & happy computing!

Does Time Capsule works as a External Hard Drive?

Does Time Capsule works as a External Hard Drive?

The Time Capsule works as a network drive.
An external drive connects to your Mac using either the USB or FireWire ports.
If your real question is to ask whether you can store other data on the Time Capsule drive....you can.

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it.

My dad has dementia - does not remember his password. His hard drive has been erased. We need to reload Mountain Lion and can't figure out how to do it. Internet recovery asks for his Apple ID and password. He has no idea. I have an Apple ID but have never bought anything through the iTunes store so it won't accept my Apple ID. I don't know if his computer is under warranty. He does not remember if he has Applecare. I tried reinstalling Leopard -- the computer originally came with Leopard -- but the computer screen goes grey and a message comes up saying I need to restart. He wants to give this computer to me since it's useless to him. What do I do to get a system on it again?

You will need to reformat the hard drive to go back to Snow Leopard or Leopard.
Does he have a Snow Leopard Disk? He should, as there is no way to go from Leopard to Mountain Lion without it. If you can find the Snow Leopard Disk, I'd at least start with that.
You will need to use Disk Utility in the installer to format the hard drive and get rid of the recovery partition.
Boot from the installer disk by holding down the C key on restart. When it boots, Open Disk Utility (Utilities menu, at least in Snow Leopard).
Select the Hard drive and then click the Partition tab.
Select 1 Partition from the partition menu.
Select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) as the format.
Name the drive (Macintosh HD is the standard).
Click Apply to partition the drive.
When it is done, quit Disk Utility and install the OS.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

Hi i am have had a lot of trouble emptying my trash. when i go to put something in there it asks from my password and the item goes off the screen, but this does not clear any space on the hard drive.

1. Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu. An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.

Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

Will the new 2012 iMac support 2 hard drives (HDD and SSD) like the 2011 iMac?

Well, I'm not sure how anything can fit into a 5 mm depth, so I can see why they've removed the CD drive - there probably wouldn't be enough room for the laser, LOL. Can't imagine speakers, hard drive (of any flavor), logic board and so on and so forth. Fortunately, my iMac has Applecare through early 2015 so I'm set for a while; I may check out a Mini at that point - saw that it is configurable with a fusion drive, which would make it interesting for me.

Does this also serve as an external hard-drive so I can free up space on my macs by transferring songs/pictures?

Does the Inspiron 3847 motherboard support serial? (RS-232)

Hello, does the Inspiron 3847 motherboard have serial pins to connect something simple like this?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Serial-Motherboard-Header-PLATE9M16/dp/B001Y1F0HW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1430370885&sr=1-1&keywords=serial+motherboard
I tried to contact Dell support buy the guy wasn't much help. First he said no, then yes, then maybe :)
Thank you for the information.

Hi Rdcompserv,
It's unlikely, but this should work.
Actually that absolutely will not work. There are zero conventional PCI slots in the 3847. Worse about that card is that its 5v only PCI 2.0 which means it wont work in any Pentium4 and up based dell.
32 bit 33mhz PCI 2.2 requires 3.3v universal cards.
This card has 2 keyways so its universal vs the 5V only card above but neither card will go into 3847 PCI-E Slots.
They are all PCI-E

Does Pavilion G6-1d71nr laptop supports solid state drive?

I have a Pavilion G6(g6-1d71nr) laptop. Currently it has the factory installed 500GB HD and 8GB memory. The laptop had been running sluggish lately, I won't be able to increase memory as it maxes out at 8GB per user manual. I am wondering
if the laptop supports solid state drive(or even hybrid one), I couldn't seem to find in the user manual that the SSD is supported. If not, will it support a hybrid?
Thanks!
Aaron

K8T Master 2 wont support SATA hard drive

I have a 200GB Serial ATA hard drive and the motherboard will not recognize when the drive is plugged in. Right now I am running a 40GB piece of poop. Help is needed.
-Coldfire

Okay...flashed up to the BIOS v1.35...using a usb fdd...and it worked! The flash did anyway. Didn't help with the SATA problem. SATA controller enabled in BIOS btw. Switched hd from SATA power connector to legacy molex...no change. I noticed during the POST when I get the "Scanning Devices...Press <tab> to enter User Windows." screen...I noticed I get the Hardware Initiate Failure Press <g> to continue as above...but then mine also says "The BIOS does not installed." I guess they mean the SATA BIOS isn't installed....but yet it shows the VT8237 RAID/SATA controller banner across the top when all this is happening. Why me? It took me quite some time to save up enough cash to build this system...that's the reason for the older parts like the 240s. I work too much to have time to ship this thing back if MSI says RMA the damn thing. I currently have MS-7030 with a Sempron 3100+ 64bit and a MSI NX6600GT-V128 running too...I like the MSI stuff...but this 9130 is getting to be a pain in the rear. Please help. If I have to install WinXP 64 on an IDE drive...I think I'll just save up for another board...I want my OS on a SATA drive.
Also noticed something in the manual....9130 only supports SATA I ....my WD is SATA II. Drive should be backwards compatible right? I'm grasping at straws here. Thanks.
And Bas, you da man! And yes that is flagrant flattery for help.
