Can I install a 200GB HD into my G4 Quicksilver?

I have a 933MHz G4 Quicksilver with a 60GB PATA drive. I replaced the drive today with a Maxtor 200GB Ultra ATA/133 drive. But my Mac only has Ultra ATA/66 and I am worried that my drive may crash one day because I have exceeded the 128GB limit. But when I initialize the drive it shows 189GB formatted and the 'Verify Disk' command in the Disk Utility did not return any errors and the computer seems to be working fine. Will the drive just stop when I reach the 128GB limit or will it actually crash and destroy all my data? Would it be better if I partitioned it with two 100GB partitions instead? TIA - Eric

Eric, excuse me for not getting back to you earlier, and for not being more precise in my answer, but no your computer will not crash when you exceed the 128 limit, and no it will not stop at 128. I meant if your boot Rom was any other version, it does not have such support and has the drive size limitation. Some QS Macs have the support, some don't. The Boot ROM version is the key to finding out. But yours does support the larger HD and that is why you are able to see the entire drive, unlike Macofthefuture he was only able to format the first 128 because he does have the logic board limit. My only explanation is maybe that you have a later 2002 release date.
With that said, the ATA card will not give you more HD space or prevent any future crashes or data destruction.
You can also do a search of "Quicksilver hard drive limitation" above because there have been other like you that have posted here who are using larger HDs in QS without any third party support. Read here.

  • Can I install JSF 1.2 into Glassfish 3.0?

    Glassfish v3 was released today!!! YAY! Servlet 3.0!
    However our company is heavy into JSF 1.2 (via Facelets and Richfaces) and we cannot migrate to JSF 2.0 for a couple months. And before we can really use JSF 2.0 we need Richfaces 4.0 to be released as well.
    So what we basically need is Glassfish v3 with the previous version of JSF.
    Any help on how to do this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Yes, you can use JSF 1.2 with V3, but you have to do some extra work to do so.
    First, each 1.2-based application that you wish to deploy to V3 will need to include the
    JSF 1.2 libraries (i.e. you can't install them globally).
    Secondly, each 1.2-based application will need to include a sun-web.xml in
    the WEB-INF directory of said application. The contents of the sun-web.xml
    should be:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE sun-web-app PUBLIC
    "-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD GlassFish
    Application Server 3.0 Servlet 3.0//EN"
    "http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-web-app_3_0-0.dtd">
    <sun-web-app>
    <class-loader delegate="false"/>
    <property name="useBundledJsf" value="true"/>

  • How can I install Windows 7 Pro intoa pre-installed Windows 8.1 Envy 23?

    Hello...I HATE 8.1...but I saw your marvelous driver list for a laptop, and was wondering if it is similar for a HP Desktop when removing windows 8.1.   I've already asked HP for help, but they, alas, are not 'able' to tell me I can even load Windows 7 on the Envy 23.  Very nice people, but very limited in information.
    I have managed to locate 2 brand new copies of Windows 7 Pro software, plus have one on hand...obviously, until Windows understands that the world does not like phone apps on a computer, we will be needing backup copies!!!
    My brand new mess is a HP Envy 23 that I just purchased last Sunday, and detest thoroughly. 
    I have gotten the backup USB, just in case, but other than wiping the disk (if I can), and changing the boot order (If I will be allowed), and of course, eliminating any extra platforms I might find If that can be done)...what will I need to save from the 8.1 install to make the bits andpieces, likes sound, and color, and whatever work?
    And what on earth is UEFI?
    Thanks in advance...I know this forum is a labor of love.
    Six days in to a 30 day return...Help!

    Knowing the full model of the computer would help, HP Envy 23-xxxxxx
    Trying to downgrade your system to would probably void your warranty and provide a challenge trying to find drivers that would work in Windows 7, a real headache.
    Should you wish to go that route you would have to disable Secure boot and enable Legacy in order to change the boot order.
    It may be easier to keep what you have and make Windows 8 look and feel like Windows 7

  • How can i install 3rd party software into my Mac with OS X Mountain Lion

    Dear Experts,
    I wish to install a software downloaded from a broadband service website (Yes, 4G broadband from Malaysia) for my 4G dongle to be able to work with OS X (10.8.1). But the system stopped me from installing it, as it said 'the installation file is not downloaded from App store and my security preference has stopped it'?!
    I have my 4G broadband with me but can not be used :-(

  • Can't Installing WL Plug-in into  Apache

    Hi:
              I not sure if this the write newsgroup to post this question.
              I am getting this error trying to WL Plug-in into apache
              bash-2.03$ perl /usr/local/apache/bin/apxs -i -a -n weblogic mod_wl.so
              apxs:Error: Sorry, no shared object support for Apache

              apxs:Error: the Apache module mod_so is compiled into
              apxs:Error: your server binary `/usr/local/apache/bin/httpd'.
              I install Apache on Solaris ok now I am trying to install the WL Plug-in
              I invoke APACHE_HOME/conf/httpd -l and get
              bash-2.03$ httpd -l
              Compiled-in modules:
              http_core.c

              there is no mod_so.c per the instructions,
              Next it said to add /configure --- and etc where do I add this information.
              

    Apache's newsgroup would have been a better place to ask this question. Anyways
              here's the thing you need to do:
              The DSO (Dynamic Shared Object) support in Apache is based on a module named
              mod_so.c
              which needs to be enabled before mod_wl.so is loaded. To enable mod_so.c follow
              the instructions
              included with the distribution of Apache to manually configure Apache with the
              following parameters:
              ./configure --prefix=<destination directory>
              --enable-module=so
              --enable-rule=SHARED_CORE
              Continue following the Apache installation instructions to make and install
              Apache.
              This is also explained in the "Installing the Apache-WebLogic Server Plug-in"
              document. Also
              refer to the installtion documents for Apache.

    You should review the Apache documentation. It appears that you need to
    build apache with shared object support -- this is typically called dso
    I believe.

  • Can i install Garage Band Loods into Logic Pro X?

    I just started using Logic Pro X. Based on the version of Garage Band on my iPhone I expected to find many more rock-oriented loops, drum kits and beats. Is this stuff only on iPhones? For example "60's Shuffle", "Bar Band Basic Drumset", "Brush Train Drumset", "Crowd Groove Drumset", "Funked Out Drumset", all this stuff and many many more loops should be in Logic Pro X Loops right?

    I'm not sure how I did that, since I started with Logic 8, so my loops could be from 8, 9 or X, though I believe they do not really differ much between the versions. I believe Logic just takes the name of the folder(s) to get those dropdown names, but I'm not sure about that either. I'm also not sure if the GB loops are/were also installed if you never had GB installed, though that could well be.
    So, all in all I'm pretty unsure, it seems.

  • Can I Install my NIK plugins into 64 Bit PSE 13

    I have been running the Nik Software sute in PSE 11 for some time. I have just upgraded to PSE 13  (64 Bit) and can not see the plugins. Does anyone know how to load them?

    Hi ,
    PSE 11 was a 32 bit program while PSE 13 is 64 bit application.
    you need to copy 64 bit plugin for this .
    Please go to C:\Program Files\Google Or Nik \Nik Collection.
    and here you will see  different plugins for 64 bit application in different folders.
    Copy these 64 bit plugis and paste it to

  • Can I install my hard drive from ppc g5 quad into a mac pro?

    heres my thinking.......
    i have a quad 2.5 ppc g5 and i bought it with all the apps already loaded. fcp, c4d, cs4 etc. i dont have serials or discs for apps. i want to buy mac pro quad from ebay...can i install my ppc hd into the new mac pro?

    The drive will work in a Mac Pro, but it won't be bootable. It might be possible to copy the applications, but they may not work. They may be PPC only versions that would have to run in slower emulation mode, if they work at all. They may not be compatible with the version of OSX on the Mac Pro. Applications with serial numbers often need new serial numbers if used on a different computer. You could use Migration Assistant (Utilities folder) to move your accounts and data, but it may have problems with older apps.
    I bought it with all the apps already loaded. FCP, C4D, CS4 etc. I don't have serials or discs for apps.
    Then you don't have legitimate copies of the apps. If the previous owner kept the discs and serial numbers, the applications should have been deleted before sale. You should buy current versions of the applications you need. They will work better on a Mac Pro than the older versions (if they would worj at all).

  • How to install Type 1 fonts into JRE?

    I am trying to generate Type 1 font postscript file by java. And I have successfully installed Type 1 fonts in both Windows and Linux operation system. But when I use following Java code to display the available system fonts, there are no Type 1 fonts displayed.
    GraphicsEnvironment ge = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();
    Font[] fonts = ge.getAllFonts();
    for (int i = 0, length = fonts.length; i < length; i++) {
    System.out.println(fonts.getName());
    Then I copied all the Type 1 fonts to JRE/lib/fonts dir and modified the fonts.dir to append Type 1 fonts information. But preceding java code returns the same result to me, also no Type 1 fonts displayed.

    Can I install a 1TB Hard Drive into a late 2007 17" MacBook Pro currently running a 160 GB Hard Drive?

    It depends upon exactly what you want to do with your Mac.  My old Late 2007 17" MacBook Pro only has 4GB RAM and it works fine.  It is a little slow if I am doing anything involving heavy computing (rendering video, compiling programs, etc.) but it works just fine.  In most cases, the increased RAM will help performance, but the cost can be fairly high with an older machine like you have.

    I'm considering to buy RAMs for my mac, originally there are two 2GB RAMs installed,is there only 2 plugs? Do i need to replace the original RAM or i can just add the new RAM into my mac?

    There are 'only' two slots for RAM modules in the 13" MacBook Pros.
    So you have to replace the RAMs that are curently in it.
    Pick the one you have from this list http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html to see how much RAM you can out into it.
