Attempting to add new hard drive.

I have a volume that is running out of space and am attempting to increase the pool size (netware 6.5 sp8). I have plugged in the hard drive, went to the imanager, scanned for new devices, and nothing. I have scanned for new devices with nssmu, with no results. This is my first attempt at doing this, have I left out a step?

What type of hrdware is this? If it is a RAID controller, chances are
it will not do anything until you tell the RAID card what to do with
the drive.

Need to add new hard drive. What type do I need?

I am adding a new hard drive for my Mac Pro. Got it last year. I am looking at 2 hard drives my Seagate.
750 GB 3.5 SATA II NCQ Internal HD
750 GB 3.5 Ultra ATA/ 100 Internal HD.
Which of the 2 will work in my computer?
Thanks in advance for the help.
- Dan

There have been problems with older Seagate 7200.10s but not .11s but they must be SATA. It really is there in the Do It Yourself mini booklet and pdf manual, or look at the specs and slots.
The Seagates were slow and there was a firmware update for some models.

Mounting new hard drives

Where do you find mounting screws to add new hard drives to the HP Envy 700qe?

Hi,
In addition to the screw information posted already, here are some tips on adding a HDD to your system:
Before you open the chassis of your PC ensure that you:
UNPLUG the PC from the power mains
Take appropriate ESD precautions
Before adding a new HDD, it is best to ensure that you have properly backed up all of your files (including email, internet favourites, music, photos, movies, game save points and files containing your work, etc.
Hard Drive removal
Before you begin: Remove the access panel.
Steps
Remove the power and data cables from the back of the hard drive.
Pull out on the drive release latch at the side of the drive bay and pull the hard drive out of the unit.
Hard Drive replacement
Steps
When installing a new hard drive, detach the four screws on the sides of the old hard drive and install on the sides of the new hard drive.
Slide the hard drive -spindle side up- into the drive bay until the drive latch snaps into place.
Attach the power and data cables to the rear of the drive.
I'd also suggest that you check hp.com for the 'User Guide' or 'Upgrading and Servicing Guide' for your specific model, as older units had a cage arrangement for HDD's, whereas newer models have a fixed drive bay. The difference is that the cage arrangement you screw the HDD into the cage, with the fixed drive bay, you screw in the screws into the HDD and slide the HDD into the bay .
Hope this assists.
I work for HP but my posts and replies are my own.

I have recently moved all of my files to a larger external hard drive, but when I am reminder of an itunes upgrade it's still attempting to go to the old drive. How can I change the settings so it automatically goes to my new hard drive?

How can i add bookmarks from my old hard drive to new hard drive on the same computer without overwriting the new bookmarks on my new hardrive? Cheers

The old hard drive was operating on Xp and new hard drive is Windows 7, if this makes any difference.

Unfortunately there is no simple method and, the workaround is far from perfect. The .json files Firefox uses overwite the existing bookmarks but the .html option appends and does not overwrite.
First of all backup all bookmarks on each hard drive. The best method of doing that is to backup the Firefox profiles, that captures the bookmarks databases (''places.sqlite'') and the autobackups that Firefox holds.
* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
* [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]]
#First ensure you have the largest databsae on the current install of Firefox. If necessary
##Locate the Firefox Profile on the old drive
##* [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
##Open Firefox and find the profile that is currently in use.
##*Quick method <br/>Use FirefoxButton -> Help -> Troubleshooting Information [Open Folder] <br />(No certain of exact wordings, OR navigate to ''about:support'' )
##* [[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
#Now use HTML backups to transfer from the smaller database the basic bookmarks.
## Close Firefox & if the old database is the largest one use the Operating System copy option to overwrite the existing places.sqlite so that Firefox now uses the old database
## Reopen Firefox but this time open using the old profile. The easiest method of that may be to disable the new drive from the Bios or alternatively use Firefox profile manager and register the old profile location and open firefox with that profile
##* [[Use the Profile Manager to create and remove Firefox profiles]]
## Export the bookmarks from the old profile using the Firefox Library and the HTML option.
##* see [[Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file to back up or transfer bookmarks]]
## Close Firefox, reopen new version/newprofile and import the HTML.
You now have the largest database of complete bookmarks with tags etc. , plus additional bookmarks from the smaller database added on. Obviously you may have some duplication

How to add files from iPod to new hard drive after krasch?

My hard drive recently crasched. I use my iPod as back up. But now, I cannot find out how to copy the files back to the new hard drive on the computor. The iTune program only advices me to delite all information on the iPod to substitute it with the much lesser library on the computer. Obviously it must be possible to copy in both directions. But how do I do it?

Thank you for your advise. That's one thing I learned. Not to assume that people know about backing up. I would have recommended it a long time ago. That's one thing that Apple or other computer stores should offer, external backup package or combo to make people aware of it's importance. Just a thought!
Anyway, I do have a little background in troubleshooting. I thought it's a Mac security issue. I would want to try other options before deciding in opening the computer and taking out thehard drive as it is not as convenient as opening a PC.
Apple does make external hard drives available at the Apple Store, however it is an end users responsibility to backup their system. Apple does offer classes to new users and their 1:1 service too, whether the subject of backing up is mentioned in these I do not know. The subject of backing up as a class "subject" may be something you may want to mention to Apple a www.apple.com/feedback.
Many users go through the same pain as your friend, myself included! However once you go through the pain, it is a lesson seldom forgotten.
Many experiences users on these forums have redundant methods of backing up. When it comes to backing up redundancy is wise, why because a backup can (and often do) fail too. For example, in addition to using Time Machine, I also have another EHD that I use to create a bootable clone of my computer. That way if both my internal drive and TM back fails the worst that will happen is I have a system I can boot from that is a day or so old and continue running until I get all my systems fixed.

Add a new hard-drive

Hi,
I need to install a new hard-drive in order to upgrade to Solaris 10. Solaris 8 is currently installed. If I do a probe-all while booting, I can see both hard-drives and the cdrom drive.
But when I want to format the disk, it is not recognised (format does not offer me this disk as a choice). What am I doing wrong ?

I am assuming that you have the new disk internal. Did you do a boot -r when you booted the system?
You could try doing (as root) devfsadm -v -C and that should also present the disk to the OS. The -v option should show building the new devices etc.
If the disk is external, what it is?

I purchased mountain lion from apple but never got a disk. How do I install it on my new hard drive, old hard drive failed and is not recoverable according to Apple and Recovery Specialist?

I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro with newly installed SATA HD + SSD, I can get mavericks download free but I can't recover photos, apps, files etc from time machine (1TB Time Capsule), I think I was running lion when I started backing up on it but I had updated to mavericks before the HD Failure. When I tried to transfer info from Time Capsule it says " no volumes detected" or something to that effect. I had mucho info backed up on that capsule. Any help appreciated, please spell it all out for me if you can help, I am not at all tech savvy and desperate to get up and going as I am an online student with a fast approaching deadline for course paper. Thank you in advance :)

Step 1: Buy a new Hard drive that can be installed in your MacBook Pro later, and an External enclose to place it in for now.
The MacBook Pro before 2010 can not contain the stand-alone firmware to go to the Internet and get a fresh copy of Mac OS X and install it.
You will need a working Recovery_HD, or to drop back to a 10.6 DVD (if it will Boot on your Mac).
There may be a functioning Recovery_HD on your existing Boot Drive. If you were running 10.7.4 or later and Time Machine, there may be a Recovery_HD on the Time Machine Volume.
To check:
Hold down the Alt/Option key as you restart. This will slowly draw a gray screen and then add an Icon (over several minutes) for each potentially-bootable volume. If any Recovery_HD shows up, take it, and you will be able to get to Internet Recovery and re-download some version of Mac OS X that can be installed on a new drive.
It is generally far quicker to set up a new drive and install Mac OS X than to struggle with only the primitive tools available only on a DVD or a Recovery_HD. Once you get any version of Mac OS X running, you can get some work done and attempt to salvage first your data, then your drive (if either will be possible).
By NOT trying to Boot from and use the possibly-damaged drive, you improve your chances of being able to salvage some files off it, since blocks will not be over-written by running Mac OS X from it.

New computer, new hard drive, old hard drive available

The mother board on my computer self destructed. Purchase new computer with larger hard drive, installed old hard drive as secondary drive. I had to install new copy of Itunes on new hard drive for it to work. I still have my old unusable Itunes on my old hard drive in the new computer. It seems I read here that there are certain files that can be copied to new Itunes that contains all your old information and settings putting the new copy of Itunes back like it was before problem.
We have very intelligent people here that know a lot more than I do. Does anyone know just what files I need to replace in the new Itunes so IPhone can sync safely without losing applications, music list etc.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

ANSUZ82, I understand what you you told me to do concerning the two files, Library.itl and Music Library.xml. Since I had already attempted a few things on my own before, I thought best to remove Itunes using Windows Add & Remove Programs. It looked to me that it did remove Itunes. I then downloaded another copy and installed. Before doing anything else, I ran Itunes only to discover it had the same appearance and faults as before.
I noticed there are three other Apple programs installed. Apple Application Support, Apple Mobile Device Support and Apple Software Update. I assume they were installed at the same time I first installed Itunes. This computer was brand new as of Feb 6. What would be the results if I removed these three Apple programs? I want to start off with a fresh copy of Itunes and all that goes with it and then put to use the advice I have received here.
I even went to the effort of activating this new computer and was told that this computer was already activated. Took steps to unactivate this computer and activate again and received the same message.
Thanks for sharing your expertise and time on my behalf.

New Hard Drive

After installing Leopard on my new hard drive (Western Digital Caviar Blue) I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from the original hard drive that was still in the computer. It ran into some issues with 2 iTunes music files and transfer stopped. So I selected the option of continuing to set up. Not sure if I messed up there. After that was complete I trashed the files in question and ran Migration Assistant again, but it completely skipped iTunes and went onto Applications, where once again it ran into problems with Application Support Files from Adobe/InDesign Templates, etc.
Now I'm not sure what to do. The new HD is the 10.5.6 version (didn't run Software Update because I assumed Migration would automatically update everything) and of course the original HD is the 10.5.8. Should I run Software Update first on that followed by Repair Permissions then attempt to transfer everything again? Or should I start from scratch - erase and reinstall then run Migration again?
Also, with having a very large iTunes library is this the best way to transfer those files?
Thanks!

Hi-
Sorry, I may have been a bit obscure....
To be precise, one should boot to the OS X install disc and use Disk Utility to repair the original hard drive and permissions.
You can't repair the boot drive while started to it.
Permissions, yes, but not directory repair.
After that, restart to the usual boot drive, download and install SD!, let SD! do it's thing.
SD! will erase the target drive for the new clone, so using Disk Utility again isn't necessary.
Once SD! is done, you can open System Preferences/Startup drive, and select the new clone as Startup volume.
Restart, and check that all is as it should be (there is no reason that it shouldn't, but DO check).
Once the clone has been verified for function and content, you're all done.
A full clone of a large drive can take a while, so don't do this when you're in a rush.
Maybe start SuperDuper! and go have dinner or something......

Have found multiple iTunes Library.xml files. Moved Library to new Hard Drive and it needs to be completely rebuilt?

Hello. I have a Mac Mini operating Mac OS X 10.7.2. I recently had to move my iTunes Library to a new hard drive. I followed the directions on how to move the library and refind everything yet when I do so what comes up is a mere skeleton of what I had. I have had to hunt down my purchased Apps, Music and Movies and re-add them to the library. I also noticed in doing this I have multiple iTunes Library.xml files ... shouldn't there only be one? If so how do I clean this up without doing any accidental damage (i.e. how do I find the one that is being used and delete the rest?)? If I delete the others is there any risk of losing purchased content? Lastly syncing my iPads has become a nightmare as I get the "This iPad is currently synced to another iTunes library" message. Obviously something

It's hard for me to picture the exact situation. It sounds like you still have your library file on the internal but some files on the external, and maybe some on the internal, some of which are in the library and others not... By re-adding things after consolidating it may have made things into a hodge-podge. Yes, that article you referenced says: "iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder"with Media Folder being the emphasis. You probably should have just moved your whole iTunes folder. Still, moving the media folder as instructed should not have messed up the library. Did you make the mistake of starting up iTunes before the external drive had mounted fully and it then told you it couldn't find many files? How you proceed to sort it out will depend upon how much time you want to spend and how important things such as ratings and playcount are to you. I have not actually used the consolidate feature across different drives myself (and don't feel inclined to do so here to test ).
If you are in the USA you can download some previous purhcases with iCloud, but not all.
Here's a bit on what an iTunes folder should look like:
What are the iTunes library files? - [http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660]
More on iTunes library files and what they do - [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ITunes#Media_management]
Library files with graphic and explanation of different iTunes versions - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=13169517
Once you get iTunes working off the external drive it should just put new media to the external when you add it.
I have almost no experience with synching (I synched my neice's iPod, once, about 4 years ago).

I had to install a new hard drive because my old hard drives boot files became corrupted, and i want to get all of my music files off the old hard drive and regain all my play counts/ratings/playlists

Greetings everyone
as the title says, ive had to install a new hard drive and i want to transfer my old itunes library onto the new drive, maintaining all playlists/play counts/ratings etc, album artwork if possible. The old hard drive is installed as a slave drive and is completely acessible, but due to the boot files being corrupted i cannot use it as the main drive and therefore operate my old itunes. Also, my ipod no longer contains my music library as itunes synced without my permission and wiped it.
The only thing i have tried is copying all of my old music files from the old drive by selecting 'add folder to library' and then the old drive, then replacing the new itunes library.itl file with the one from my old itunes. This restores all my playlists and playcounts but when i try to play any of the songs it says that the files could not be found, and i dont fancy locating 8500 music files individually!
Thankyou for taking the time to read my post, any help will be greatly appreciated.

Ah, my reply was based on the assumption that you had a default installation of iTunes.
i.e you had all your music in the iTunes media folder inside your iTunes folder.
If your iTunes folder is so small compared to the amount of music you have, you must have a different arrangement.
This complicates you situation considerably.
iTunes can cope with moving around as long as all the music is in the iTunes media folder, not not if it isn't.
Your first step should be to get iTunes working on the old drive. This will involve editing the xml library file so that the drive letter is correct and then rebuilding the library from the xml file.
Then you will need to consolidate your library which moves everything into the iTunes media fodler. After that you will be able to use my first suggestion.
Step 1
Find the iTunes folder on the old drive and copy the two library files somewhere else so you can find them again. That's iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Library.xml.
Now open the copy of iTunes Library.xml with WordPad.
Look for lines starting:
Location
These contain the paths to tracks.
You will need to use a find/replace to change the drive letter so that it is correct.
Make sure that you include enough in the "find" so that you only change the right thing.
Maybe /c:/ and replace with /d:/ or whatever.
After that, tell iTunes to use the library on the old drive with a shift key start.
Hold down the shift key and start iTunes, keep holding the shift key until you are prompted to choose a library. Navigate to the iTunes folder on the old drive and choose iTunes Library.itl.
Then use the method in the following article to rebuild your library;
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
Unfortunately the date added will be today for all tracks.
If iTunes works correctly after this, consolidate your library
File>>Library>>Organize>>consolidate
This copies all tracks into to iTunes media folder and could create a problem if you do not have disk space so don't do it if you are unsure about free disk space.
Check that iTunes works OK and then use the first method.

Moving LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?

I moved LR5 catalog (Irdata & Ircat) to a new hard drive and photos. Lost all meta data - How do I move meta data along with catalog?
The meta data for each image is missing.
I have over 2,000 images. I don't want to go back through each image and add meta data.
Is there some way to move everything?

No, do not re-import your images. I assume you can see the thumbnails in the library module, just cannot access the full images, right? If this is the case there should be an exclamation mark in the top right corner of every one of your pictures and you only have to tell LR where the images are now.
Click the exclamation mark of one of the images and a dialog window should pop-up, telling you that LR cannot find the file, but with an option to locate it. Press "Locate" and navigate to the folder on your new HD where the file is. If in the new external HD you kept the same folder structure that you had on the internal disk, LR will be able to find all your images and re-link them to the database without further intervention.

HPE Desktop New Hard Drive/No Bootable Drive

After receiving a "Hard Drive Failure Imminent" message, I saved files, made recovery disks, and installed a new hard drive. All specs for new HD meet requirements. I couldn't get my recovery disks to work and ordered a set from HP. When attempting to boot with Disk 1, process goes normally until "Insert Disk One" message appears while it's still in the drive. I inserted Disk 2 just for giggles but "Insert Disk 1" message still appears.
I found a fix for "recovery disks from HP won't work" and downloaded the cyberlink software to dvd (on laptop) but booting with that only results in Reboot error message.
HP Diagnostics passed tests for both the new HD and DVD drives. The "boot path" fails with BIOHD-3 error and the message "no bootable path".
In setup, HD appears in drive 1 and DVD in drive 2--both enabled.
Any help on recovery would be greatly appreciated. I'm at my wits end.

Hi,
Do you have the boot order in the BIOS set to boot to the DVD drive first?
To open the BIOS Setup utility, turn on the computer and immediately press the F10 key repeatedly, about once every second, until the BIOS setup utility screen opens.
Choose menu screens by pressing the left or right arrow keys. Use the up or down arrow keys to move up or down through the list of items on a menu screen. Press the Enter key to select an item for modification. For certain items, pressing the Enter key opens a submenu. After you have selected a menu item, use the arrow keys to modify the settings. Press the Esc key to exit from a submenu. Help is shown on the right side of the screen.
