975X Platinum Help with 5 SATA Drives, 1 not showing up

I just purchased a computer with a 975X Platinum motherboard and I ordered it with 5 identical WD 250GB SATA Drives.  4 Of them are configured in a Raid 0+1 array attached to the 4 Intel SATA Ports and 1 is attached to the JMicron SATA Port. 
My problem is that I can only see the 4 Intel drives, or the 1 JMicron drive at a time (both on POST as well as within an OS).  If I enable the JMicron controller in the Bios, (IDE OR RAID) then I only see the 1 drive attached to that controller and there is no boot image on that drive so boot fails.  If I disable the JMicron controller in the BIOS, the 4 SATA drives on the Intel controller show up and the computer boots.
Is it possible to see/use all 5 drives at the same time and if so, what is the procedure?
As a side note, I am using Windows Vista Ultimate and the BIOS version is 7.3 (I know there is a newer 7.4 version available and I will try that shortly to see if that fixes the problem).

Quote
I did not know you were supposed to clear CMOS after a Bios upgrade.  I am in the middle of installing Vista SP1 RC0 so after that is done and stable, I will try 7.6 again and clear CMOS.
Yes, you should at least test it.  Make sure that the main AC power cable is unplugged from your PSU when you press the clear CMOS button on the mainboard.
Also, list full system specs with detailed information about all components used in your configuration.  If the problems persist, maybe it is just a matter of a few BIOS settings to make some adaptions to your system.  If your system is running fine with 7.10, it should run fine with BIOS 7.60 as well.

  • Need help with IE 8 and 9 not showing alignment right

    Ok I am working on a sit for a friend.  I have a Spry vertical menu that looks fine in FF when I view it in IE 8 or IE 9 it is to the left of the bos I need it centered.  Also in IE 8 the FAQ link jumps up beside the Slides link box.  And when I added a E-Male link under the menu it jumps up into the menu.

    Using the original (un-modified) SpryMenuBarVertical.css as our foundation, I added the following style rules

  • Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model

    Trying to setup RAID 1 with new SATA drives on xserve 2009 model
    I have an Xserve rack mount model Xserve 2.26 Quad Core (EMC# 2279) with an Apple RAID card, 24GB RAM (running 10.9 Server software)
    Purchased two Western Digital 1TB SATA III 7200 RPM 64MB Cache Black WD1003FZEX drives
    It came with three 160GB SATA drives.  I'm leaving one of the original 160GB drives for the OS, but I want to replace the 2 other drives and set it up with RAID 1 (mirrored). I bought 2 brand new Western Digital 1TB SATA drives and formatted them on another Mac through Disk Utility with Mac OS Extended (Journaled) formatting.  I then placed the new drives in the Xserve and booted it up.  After I login it immediately gives me 2 error windows saying...
    "Apple RAID Card
    The Apple RAID Card installed in your system requires your attention."
    It has two buttons underneath this message allowing me to either select 'Ignore' or 'Open RAID Utility'
    I've tried to RAID the drives the Disk Utility and through the RAID Utility with no success.
    I have both drives mounted on the desktop, as separate drives, but I really need to set these up as a RAID 1.
    I've been reading other forums, where others have been able to get this to work by using a jumper on certain pins (5 & 6)of the drive to back down the transfer rate to 1.5 Gb per second.  I tried that and it didn't work for me. Maybe I used the wrong pins -- I just don't know.  I'm also wondering if there is some Apple firmware that is required on these drives?  I'm asking for help from anyone who has gone through this same issue.  Thanks in advance.

    UPDATE --  I had an issue with the RAID card battery, it was dead and I have since replaced it.  But I am still unable to setup the RAID 1 drive configuration.  Does anyone know if it has something to do with the faster transfer rates on these new drives.  Maybe they need to be clocked down with certain jumper settings on these Western Digital drives?  Or am I fighting a losing battle because these drives don't have Apple firmware?  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • HELP! External hard drive won't show up in finder!

    Last night, I was updating my macbook (from August 2008, still runs on leopard) and it needed to restart. I forgot to eject my LaCie Porsche 1tb external hard drive first and, when it rebooted, I got the error of death (aka "disk was not ejected..."). When connected to the USB port, the drive lights up, I can hear it spinning, but it won't show up in finder and I can't see it in Disk Utility to repair it (after the first error of death, the computer wouldn't even acknowledge that I had the drive plugged in). I've tried plugging it into the different USB ports and even on a different macbook, but no luck in getting the computer to recognize it long enough to use Disk Utility or DiskWarrior. Any tips on how I can get my macbook to read the drive again?

    If the external hard drive is not showing up in Disk Utility when connected to two or more different computers, then the problem is with the hard drive, it is broken. Get a new one.

  • My internal drive is NOT showing up in the event library in Final Cut X.  I am also getting a "The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory" Any ideas? I am using an IMAC Core i7 with 8GB memory, OS version 10.6.8

    My internal boot drive is NOT showing up in the Event Library in Final Cut X. My external raid drive is showing up.
    I am also getting error message "The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory"  when attempting to create a new "event".   Any ideas?
    If I had a application disk, I would unistall and reinstall FCPX.  I am assuming there is a way do do this without a disk - just have not been able to easliy find out how.
    I am using an IMAC Core i7 with 8GB memory, OS version 10.6.8
    Thanks

    Well it did NOT work.  Here is a screen capture as FCPX loads showing the drive while it loads. Then when it is loaded, NO drive showing up in the Event Library ( I have turned off the external drive).
    ANY ideas . . . .  Anybody . . . .  APPLE?

  • I recently updated my Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    I recently updated my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac with the latest OS 10.8.5 now my external hard drives will not show up. They show up when I boot them up on a machine running and earlier OS. Is there a fix for this?

    Can you see them in Disk Utility?
    If so, can you select and Mount them?
    If not, disconnect them, reset the iMac's SMC and then reconnect them.
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    1. Shut down the computer.
    2. Unplug the computer's power cord.
    3. Wait fifteen seconds.
    4. Attach the computer's power cord.
    5. Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    If you still can not see them, connect them back up to the iMac running the older OS, open Disk Utility and look to see how they are partitioned and formatted.

  • I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

    I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
    It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
    I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
    I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
    Anyone?

    Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
    The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
    I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

  • Logical drive partition not showing in Mac OS.

    Hi all,
    I'm rather new to mac OS and am hoping someone could help me out with this problem.
    I've a windows partition (C:) running Vista Ultimate. In it, I had created 'logical drive' which contains a FAT32 (D:)and a NTFS (E:)partition. I'm thinking of using this 'D:' drive to share data between vista and Mac OS. However, when I boot up into Mac OS, both d: and e: drives are not showing (c: showing thought). I went into Terminal and use the 'diskutil list' command, it doesn't show me my D: and E: partition.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    MacDrive7 allows 32-bit Windows to access r/w to HFS+.
    There is a Google kit for NTFS.
    I had terrible performance and luck with Paragon Software's NTFS for Mac OS X 6.0 ($30) and would not recommend it.
    If you are willing to start over, clone your Vista. Maybe WinClone or Norton Ghost.
    Reformat your internal drive with Disk Utility after backing up (Apple Disk Utility Restore).
    Don't use BootCamp and create Vista NTFS, FAT32 and Mac OS X. Don't install or restore OS X until AFTER you have Vista installed.
    BootCamp only allows for a 2nd partition and I'm not a fan of its methods and limitations.

  • External Hard Drive is Not Showing Up on Desk top?

    My external hard drive is not showing up on my desk top any more. When I tried to reconnect it I get the follow message.
    You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize.
    Help what should I do? I have 50 GB of music on it and it's never had this problem before.
    Thanks

    Norton has a bad reputation because they have not kept up with changes in the Mac file structure. Norton version 8 is the one you should be using, if you choose to use it. Earlier versions will likely damage your directory, possibly beyond repair by other utilities.
    Any time you use any Disk Repair Utility, it is somewhat of a crap shoot. It may or may not be able to make the repair, and you may or may not lose a few to very many files in the process. The program best respected in this arena is Disk Warrior. If you choose to buy it, pay very close attention to which version you are buying, as the latest version CD (intended to boot 10.3 or 10.4) may not boot on your Mac.

  • After security update my hard drive will not show

    G4 Tower - Mac OS X - 733mhz.. After a security update 2 days ago i can not get my computer to boot. It comes up to the gray apple screen and just sits there. I put the install dvd in and went to disk utilities, but the hard drive does not show up at all. I tried to boot the computer in target mode from my laptop. It goes into target mode, but the drive never shows up on the screen. I put disk warrior in the laptop and launched it, and it seen the drive as a firewire drive, but the only option was to rebuild. I have a lot of info on the drive, and am hoping that I do not have to go to that extreme. Please help...

    the only option was to rebuild. I have a lot of info on the drive, and am hoping that I do not have to go to that extreme. Please help...
    I think you are misunderstanding what disk Warrior will do, and how it does its magic. Disk Warrior is a wonderful, powerful, tool and works well for many people. When it suggests a ReBuild, it is saying your drive is recognized and intact enough to attempt to construct a new (proposed) Directory.
    It will scavenge all the information it can find from every possible source (including the existing Directory) and build a new (proposed) Directory of all your recoverable files. If the damage is not severe, nearly all your files will be included in the new (proposed) Directory.
    It then lists the differences between the new (proposed) Directory files compared to the old (existing) Directory files, and invites you to look at them side-by-side, if you like. ONLY if you approve, will it replace your old damaged Directory with the new (proposed) one. If you choose not to replace your old Directory, it just quits and nothing is changed on your Drive.

  • External hard drive and startup drive are not showing on desktop

    Hi, I just brought my macbook pro home from the apple store after having the hard drive replaced. It is not recognizing my Drobo in order to do a time machine backup. The Drobo was functioning perfectly well when I brought the computer in, so I can't imagine there's a problem with that. As well, my startup drive does not show on my desktop. Help please! I need my machine working for a presentation tomorrow. Many thanks.

    If the drobo is powered on,
    the cables are in completely (did you check it?)
    drobo has power and is running
    and you checked "show external drives on the desktop" in finder settings,
    and the drobo is not shown there:
    the status of the drobo is not choisen correct (it works as a raid x  instead of raid y)
    or one or more harddrive(s) inside is/are mad.

  • Network drives do not show up on Desktop or in Sidebar

    I have a user who is experiencing a weird problem. When they connect to a Windows server over our LAN, the server does not show on their desktop, nor does it show in the sidebar.
    I have checked the boxes in Finder/Preferences to show network drives on the desktop and in the sidebar, but the network drives do not show up.
    I have reproduced this on another Mac, a G4 also running 10.5.8 .
    The windows servers do appear in Go/Network, and the user can connect to them, but they still don't show up on the desktop or the sidebar.
    Does anyone have any good ideas about this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Templeton, I'm sorry if my message wasn't clear, but I have already tried that.
    I'm beginning to wonder if there might be some issue with this in 10.5.8, since this works on the Macs here with Snow Leopard, and it used to work when we had Macs on earlier versions of OS X.
    Again, I'm open for any ideas on this.
