Can I replace the drives in Xserve ADM's

I have an Xserve DP G5 2.0 with a hardware RAID card and 3 80Gb ADM's. Can I install larger drives in the sleds (500Gb?), or do I need Apple firmware or drives?

Further testing revealed that the Seagate drives did not work correctly. I am using a RAID card, and the only drives i was able to use had Apple firmware - the others had bios issues. I could not reliably "cold boot" the system from the RAID array. Restarting worked most of the time, but would occasionally corrupt the array. I did find some of the bare drives on ebay for $55 each; the guy had 50 of them for some reason.

  • Ext. Quefire drive CDRW broke, can I replace the drive with a NEC or Pionee

    I had one of those Quefire 16x10x40 CDRW firewire external drives and now the drive doesn't work. The Mac says it can't find the CDRW/brunner software or drive. I'm assuming the drive is bad and not the enclosure electronics. The drive inside is a Teac CD-W516E.
    Would I be able to buy an internal NEC ND-3550 or Pioneer DVR-110 and use it in the same Quefire enclosure electronics?
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi
    "Next project is to try to burn one of my imovies with idvd"
    This won't work with an external drive unless you have iDVD5.01...
    For older versions, you need to run PatchBurn/Expert Mode/Install iDVD support, which will give you the option of burning to external drives when you control-click the iDVD burn button twice...

  • Can I replace the 20G drive in a 2070NR to have two 1T drives?

    I have an Envy 17 (2070NR) and it has a 1T drive and a 20G drive.  Can I replace the 20G drive with another 1T drive?

    The second, 20g drive is a flash module that is designed to speed up the system and hold important files so that the mechanical hard drive is not accessed as often, leading to better battery life, etc. blah blah. I am not sure the 20 gig drive is a standard SATA interface. You might want to look here:

    You will need the hard drive caddy for a second drive I believe.

  • Windows 7 can´t find the driver for HP Officejet 5510. (Windows Update is set to automatic.)

    Hello everyone, I just installed Windows 7 - 64 bit. Supposedly the driver for the HP Officejet 5510 will install automatically in Windows 7 when connected via a USB, which is not happening.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01796879&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&os=4063&product=311...
    I am getting the message that Windows 7 can't find the driver. I don´t understand why?
    My Windows Update is set  to automatic.
    I see the device under printers. But when I click on it it says driver missing.
    Is there any solution? Possibility to get the driver some other way? Unfortunately HP doesn't provide a download on their website. 
    Can anyone help me, pleease?
    Honza

    I have the same problem. I spent all this money to get more features, not less so Windows 7 should run all of my XP stuff. Now I see that my HP Officejet 5510 all-in-one won't scan and I can't save in pdf format. C'mon HP....give us a driver! If I wind up having to buy another printer, I swear it won't be an HP if I get abandoned on this one. And I'll also switch vendors for all of the printers I'm responsible for replacing at work too.

  • Can I remove the drive door on my new combo drive?

    I bought a Lite-On dvd combo drive. The drive door (face place? Whatever it is called) is not flat like the dvd drive it replaced. Consequently, I can't get the drive door bezel back on my sawtooth. The drive works fine. It is strictly an aesthetic consideration.
    I could pry at it until it snaps off, but before I take the cave man approach, I was wondering if a better way was known. Suggestions?

    No, you can't. The only way to get a larger capacity would be to sell your iPhone and purchase a new one.

  • I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average ?

    I dropped my mac pro. The disc drive plays but will not record. medium drive error. How hard is it to replace the drive my self. i see screws on the bottom. Could I just order a new internal drive and replace it? Or is it too complicated for the average person? Would be cheaper to buy an external drive than to replace internal one? Any advice is appreciated

    How certain are you the superdrive ONLY is at fault?
    That depends on your skill level, if you grew up tearing things apart and putting them together, its absurd how easy it is.
    For some however its too daunting.   On a general skill level for the "average" person its about a 3 out of 10 in difficulty.
    Can you order same? yes.

  • My external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive. Same thing has happened with Final Cut Express.

    My new LaCie external hard drive is 'seen' by my iMac and I can go into the Finder and open files and folders. I am using the hard drive for Time Machine back up. However Time Machine says it can't find the drive.
    The same thing happened recently between Final Cut Express and my other LaCie external hard drive used as the Scratch disk. It fixed itself.
    I've run out of ideas. Help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

    have you done some searches on FCPx and time machine? Is there a known issue with using a TM drive with FCPx? dunno but ...wait...I'll take 60 sec for you cause I'm just that kind of guy....   google...." fcpx time machine problem"  Frist page link

    You've been down this path before  - and the response is exactly the same.
    how to replace cursor logic
    And I'll suggest that you post the entire code - since you repeatedly delete 2 table variables but only populate one. The setting of @maxID also seems to have no purpose. And perhaps the issue here isn't the cursor but the general approach.  Who knows
    - but it appears you may have prematurely assumed that the cursor is the problem.

    Hi,
    How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

  • Satellite U200-115 - CD Rom error - can't activate the drive from windows

    Hi everyone,
    I'm having some problems with my DVD rewriter drive on my Satellite U200-115.
    It works very intermittently and whenever I power up the machine, the first notice I get is 'cd-rom error' even though there is no disc in the drive.
    I can't activate the drive from windows either (icon in system tray).
    There is the odd occassion when the drive does work in windows but this is so infrequent that I can't remember the last time (I think it was back in Nov 08).
    I want to restore the system as I am getting a lot of windows file icons instead of the proper icons for images e.g. pdf, doc, etc. but am worried that the drive wont read the disc or will stop working during the recovery process.
    Any ideas would be gratefully received.
    Best WIshes
    Nick

    If its a software issue the drive will not stop working during the recovery procedure.
    Do you get a CD-ROM error in Windows?
    You could try to boot from a Linux boot disk. If this work it would be a software problem and not a hardware problem.

  • Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive?

    Where can I get the driver for my HP DE8A4L external USB CD/DVD drive? 
    On the label it says, Model HSTNN-PD06-91
    and
    HP PN: 518819-001 Rev.B
    I've had my Mini 110-1000 running our music system for a couple of years, no complaints.  When I wanted a CD/DVD drive, I purchased a DE8A4L external USB drive directly from HP.  It didn't come with a driver disc.  When I plug it in, the USB subsystem does not enable it.  Device Manager shows a yellow exclamation point, saying, "Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware..."   It is running Windows XP Home Edition SP3.
    What gives with this device?

    Following up on tactic 2) above, I upgraded the BIOS from version F07 to the latest version available on the HP download site, version F19.  This went well, but unfortunately the system still does not recognize the device.
    When I try to Device Manager, and select the DE8A4L DVD device, and try "search for a device driver", it says it cannot find a better match for the driver already installed.
    This Mini 110-1000 only came with 1 Gb RAM, and Windows XP Home.   Is one of these a critical limitation for running an external USB DVD drive?
