Can I reformat and partition a new internal hard drive with the Snow Leopard disk?

I'm planning on installing a new internal hard drive in my 15'' Macbook Pro. Can I format and partition the new drive with the Snow Leopard disk or is it just an upgrade from Leopard? Thanks much.

You should be able to do that.
If you want to change the sizes of existing partitions this may help:

Can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop to use files on the airport?

can this device be used as an external hard drive with a macbook pro laptop and use files on the airport time capsule?

If you mean an AirPort base station other than the Time Capsule, it doesn't have internal storage.
If you mean a Time Capsule, its internal drive can be used for regular file storage but shouldn't be; as with all drives, it'll eventually fail. You're better off using a standalone drive and setting Time Machine to back it up as well.

My macbook pro hard drive died. I only have a windows hard drive and an old powerbook G4 which of course you can't use to create a boot disk for my macbook. How can I solve this?

I can't get app store on my old power book to download OS X, My macbook pro hard drive died and all I have is a windows hard drive, still has windows os on it, a 500 Gb USB drive and this power book. How can I get my macbook back up without spending money? Thanks

And what happens if the OPs Mac is of a newer version that came with a version of Snow Leopard above the 10.6.3 version that is on that Retail, meant for Upgrade, disc? Like if it came with 10.6.4/.5/.6/.7? That disc you linked to would not work.
He needs to contact Apple and get a replacement set of Original System Reinstall Discs. That is the only way he can be assured it will work and he would also get the iLife apps which he wouldn't buying that DVD disc you linked to.

The Snow Leopard DVD is $20 from Apple. You'll just have to wait a few days. BTW this is a full installer that works with any model computer that can run SL. Apple used to ship recovery/installation disks that were tied to specific computer models so that a 15" MBP installer disk coudn't be used on a 13" MBP computer. So you need either full installer or the recovery disks for your specific model.
And BTW, I have a 2009 13" MBP w/8GB RAM that is running Mavericks. With a 5400 RPM drive I used to experience a bit of beach balling (think hour glassing) but an SSD has given it new life. It feels now slower than the newest MBPs - it obviously benchmarks considerably slower but in everyday use it doesn't feel like a 4 1/2 year old computer at all.

Can I use an old Windows hard drive with Boot Camp?

I have an old windows desktop that has FL Studio files I want to transfer to Logic Pro. I'm working on a Mac Pro with 4 hard drive bays and only 3 hard drives.
I understand that Boot Camp lets you boot Wndows, but can I install Boot Camp without erasing the hard drive? I just want to be able to plug my PC drive in, hold the option key, and choose to boot the Windows drive from time to time.
Alternately, could I make a disc image of my PC hard drive, reformat it to FAT and reattach the disc image?
Thanks,
Jon

You can, but it's illegal. A OEM version is designed to be installed on a new computer, not on a computer with an existing operating system, so you can install Windows from there but you should know that's illegal, so Apple doesn't support it. To do this legally, you have to get a full Windows 7 disc version and use it to install Windows.

Create a new bootable hard drive with XP - without CD reader

All,
   Since couple of years my Satellite CD reader is dead. Most probably an hardware failure, the CDs are spinning but that's all ... unbale to read them at all.
As the PC is getting slower and slower, I decided to refomat and re_image it.
    As I can't use the CD reader, I have to create the bootable hard drive (with the XP-Home edition provided when I bought the laptop) using another machine (A DELL or a Toshiba Portege I have also at home).
    For that I remove the hard drive fro, the satellite and put it in the other machine, and then reinstall windows ont it.
Everything went fine, untilI plug back the satellite hard drive to its original host (Satellite machine.
It refuse to boot and stop just after loading the MUP.Sys drivers (classique as the hardware is diffrent)
   My questions are :
   1. Any way I can create a proper bootable drive for Satellite 5105-S501 in such conditions (any place I can download an image for it)
   2. I can' enter the BIOS (ESC key do not let me in, F1 and F12 same ...). Any way to force to enter in the BIOS
   ESC key just show me the message : Type F1 for default :_°
Thanks
P.

Thanks so much for replying to my question! I am new to MAC and have Tiger and Windows XP on separate drives. I will be removing the drive with Tiger and putting in a new drive to load Leopard and I wondered how that would effect accessing Windows XP since the Windows drive will remain in the system. Is there anything I need to do with bootcamp, since Windows was loaded using the Beta version of bootcamp, and bootcamp icon currently shows in the Windows XP taskbar. Tiger was pre-loaded when the computer was purchased. In fact I had to backdate the beta bootcamp version in order to get it to work. I hope this is not asking too much, but I wondered if there would any problem with Windows after the Leopard load.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!

Can I Replace my Early 2009 Mac Mini Hard Drive with my Early 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive?

I am replacing my 2011 Macbook Pro Hard Drive with a Solid State Drive. Instead of keeping the hard drive on an external enclosure I was wondering if I can use it to upgrade my Mac Mini's 160GB hard Drive with the one Im taking out of the MBP. And if so, is there any special formatting I would need to do?

It should work fine. No special formatting required. It actuality, I suspect that if you connect the HD, the Mini will boot into the OSX that was on the MacBook.
When you replace the HD in the Mini just be careful with the antennas and their wires and connections I accidentally disconnected the wifi antenna on mine when I replaced the HD.

Can't reinstall Embedded Lockdown Manager in Windows 8.1 with KB3031044

Embedded Lockdown Manager (kb2959936) is a build-in feature/update in Windows 8.1 with update 3 (the November 2014 full media refresh image), now MS remove it by
KB3031044
I want to reinstall ELM, BUT THE RESOLUTION SEEMS DIDN'T WORK, I can't reinstall ELM by apply KB2932354 or KB2959936
And I run the updates clean-up command already
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
so I can't uninstall KB303144
Maybe MS need release a refresh version of ELM?

Update 3? I don't see a 3 version in MSDN. If you check Programs and Features - > Turn On or Off Windows Features, you should be able to enabled ELM.
Also, ELM does come as a separate ISO file on MSDN: <label class="description" id="description3">Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro ELM Update</label>

Can you boot a MacBookPro from an external hard drive with Windows XP?

I'm planning on getting a MacBookPro with a 512GB Solid State drive.
Is there any chance I would be able to find a way to boot from an external drive that has Windows XP installed.
Why would I want to do that you ask? I want to travel with my Mac, but have access to certain programs(AutoCad2010 & 3dMax)that are supplied on my Employer supplied computer without carting it around too... it's a "brick." I know there are Mac versions of AutoCad and 3Dmax, but my employer won't supply me with them. (They are not smart enough to recognize the productivity benifits of Macs.) I thought it would be great to take the Hard drive, put it in a USB or Firewire case and just boot up from that. Probably just a crazy idea, but maybe some clever person knows a way?

Windows XP will neither install nor run on an external drive. However, your boot volume is more than large enough to accommodate a Boot Camp partition in which to run Windows. Or you can purchase Parallels or VM Fusion to run Windows in a virtual machine. Problem solved.

Can't locate restored files on new iMac Hard Drive

My hard drive failed on my iMac (Intel), Apple Store replaced the hard drive, brought it home, hooked up the Time Machine, selected a backup date, restore... it showed the content loading for 4 hours... once complete, the iMac still looks nothing like the old. Open the Macintosh HD and Info shows that the 230 GB transferred, but I can't find the folders anywhere. When actually opening the Macintosh HD, its only new folders and the new setup. Where do I find the restored content?

Hello, on the Desktop open Macitosh HD,look for the Ysers folder, is another User there?
Can you log into that othe user?

Flashing Question Mark--New Windows Hard Drive

I just installed a used hard drive that currently has windows installed on it. I just would like to verify that it works and I cannot install OS X at this time. When I start it up I get the flashing question mark folder and holding down the Option ket just gets the mouse arrow up but nothing else. Any Ideas??

Why did you put a HDD with Windows into your Mac? Was there something wrong with the HDD that was in there to begin with?
If you want to check drives get yourself a SATA to USB Adapter that has its own AC power supply.
As to your flashing ? mark it is covered in the post above except that if you also got the ? mark with the original Mac drive then the HDD to Logic board cable may be bad.
Just seems like a lot of work, disassembling your Mac, just to check to see if a drive is still functional.
If you do not need that drive for Windows anymore then do as stated above and boot the system from your original system disc and run Disk Utility and erase the drive. Also once you run Disk Utility if the drive is any good it will show up in disk utility.

Brand New Internal Hard Drive with "disk0s2: I/O error" (iMac 2007/10.6.8)

Hello,
I have a 2007 iMac 21" Aluminum running 10.6.8 with 4GB RAM. Two years ago I had a 2TB Western Digital drive installed, which ran fine until about two weeks ago. The performance of my iMac went down hill fast. At first I didn't suspect the drive but, finally, Disk Utility did start showing errors (including the disk0s2: I/O error).
Today I had an authorized Apple service center remove the drive and replace it with a brand new 2TB drive (a Toshiba, if you're curious). Tonight I booted up and noticed some sluggishness. So I rebooted in safe-mode (holding down the shift key), disabled a few auto-start apps I had, and rebooted. Problem solved.
Now, the computer is performing fine it seems, but I have a (free) menu bar app installed called SMARTreporter version 2.7.3. Since booting it has thrown several disk0s2: I/O errors. Excerpt:
Aug 2 21:45:17 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:45:47 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:46:25 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:49:45 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:50:51 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:52:27 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:53:52 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:54:45 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 21:57:41 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:00:14 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:13:05 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:14:28 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:15:56 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:17:16 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:20:06 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
Aug 2 22:22:38 localhost kernel[0]: disk0s2: I/O error.
I will add that I noticed these errors after I work the iMac from sleep and got one or two more after I work it from sleep. But it's been several minutes since I got another notice from SMARTreporter (which uses growl notices, which is nice). The last line shown above is the last diskOs2 error I've seen in the past 45 min. or so.
I know it's possible to get a bad drive, so I haven't ruled that out. I'm just surprised if that's indeed the case. But I want to make sure I know what's going on, and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

UPDATE...
I took it into a different authorized Apple reseller/tech (Mac Authority Nashville) and they did a diagnostic on the spot, indicating that the drive was OK. They suggested it was probably a loose cable.
I took it back to the other place and they took time to disassemble it again and check the cables. The cables were fine (they showed me pics on their iPad - nice touch since I couldn't go back in the back). They suspected it could be corrupted data and that I should eliminate that possibility before dropping another $100 on it to find out what the issue is -- especially since it's six years old (this weekend, in fact. I chuckled when Apple said that it's now classified as a "vintage" machine).
Now I have re-installed Snow Leopard and have run all the updates. (Before installing the OS from DVD I ran Disk Utility and everything checked out fine.)
I also ran an app called EtreCheck and it identified some launch agents for apps I deleted long ago. I cleaned up some old files (verrrrrry judiciously) there and restarted.
So far my iMac has been running 3+ hours without a hint of problems or performance issues, so I'm encouraged that the problem is apparently fixed (if I have more trouble, I'll come back to this thread with another update). Appaently I just spent money on a hard drive I apparently didn't need. (Time for a SATA case so I can have a new external back-up...)
LESSON:
It doesn't hurt, usually, to start with reinstalling the OS when serious performance issues arise.

Can't move or rename files on outboard hard drive with bridge cs3

I have a new computer operating with
vista 64 bit os and an outboard drive with my pic
tures. Bridge says I don't have permission to move or rename the files but I can open the
m and copy them. I have to go into windows
to physically delete or move files.

It is a permissioning thing with Windows on external drives, that and speed, are reasons internals are much prefered. I have found that if I right click on the Bridge start icon and chooose "run as administrator" it will work.
I know this sounds strange on a single use machine where you have administrative rights, but just what I found that worked for me.

Recently bought a new Macbook pro...want to swap hard drives with my old macbook pro

I recently bought a new Macbook Pro:
13 in, 2.5 GHz Intel core i5
8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
500 GB HD
Intel HD Graphics 4000 512 MB
Mid 2012 model
I'd like to install the 750 GB HD (with Bootcamp Windows 7 install) from my old macbook pro into my new macbook pro.
Here are the old computer's stats:
13 in, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5
4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
750 GB (This is a WD I bought and upgraded myself into the old computer)
Intel HD Graphics 300 384 MB
Early 2011 model.
My question is this: the guy at the tech shop said he didn't think swapping out the hard drives would work because the 750 GB HD in the old machine would have the drivers, etc. installed for that architecture. I think he might be wrong.
My question is this: if i were to swap out the 750 GB HD from the old machine, would I experience any issue in running both Mac OS X 10.8.3 and Windows 7? Or is homeboy right -- is this architecture too different?

That is normally the case, however Apple has been known to include the drivers for all previous models that can run that version of OS X when a software update occurs.
One way to find out is to remove the 750GB out of the old machine and use a SATA to USB adapter cable to the new Mac, then reboot holding the option key down for Startup Manager, which the external drive should appear as a bootable option, click the arrow and see what happens.
Even if it does boot, there is a issue of copy protected apps (and free iLife) not being compatible with that new machine. So you might want to test that for awhile and update etc., before doing a actual hard drive swticheroo.
Install/upgrade RAM or storage drive in Mac's
If it doesn't work, you can use Migration Assistant in the Utlities folder and it will move all your apps and files from OS X. (using the SATA to USB adapter)
A paid program called WinClone 3 that runs in OS X can clone your Windows partition to the new BootCamp parttion on the 500GB drive.
Windows will complain because it's on new hardware, so you will have to jump through Redmond hoops.

Can I restore my system after replacing my hard drive with the original leopard discs, then use my time machine backup (with Snow Leopard) to finish the restore?

I am replacing my original 100gb hard drive for a 500gb. I am currently running OS X.6.7. I understand the process of how to install the new drive and restore the system from the disc. What I am unsure of is whether I need the Snow Leopard disc or can I use the original Leopard discs and then plug in my time machine backup to complete the restore?

How do I restore my entire system?.
or, use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your current system to an external HD, replace the HD, then clone the clone back to the new drive.
