Can't get RAID to boot... simple fix?

Hey everyone,
Just got my K8N Neo Plat with 3200 CG Clawhammer.
Got RAID set up and XP Pro SP1 installed okay, but now I can't get Windows to boot.
FIRST BOOT DEVICE: HARD DRIVE
SECOND BOOT DEVICE: FLOPPY
THIRD BOOT DEVICE: CD-ROM
IDE RAID: ENABLED (with all appropriate ports and SATA channels as well)
When I select BOOT LIST - F11 from POST screen, I can select Hard Drive, but then it also gives me an additional menu where it displays my two Seagate Barraccuda's individually, and then my RAID. When I select the RAID from this list, it's fine, and XP boots. When I restart and boot normally, however, it's like it's trying to boot off of my striped drives individually, and I get "A disk-read error occurred. Press ctrl+alt+del to restart" at the IRQ/Verifiying DMI Resources screen.
I can't find this hard drive sub-menu that allows me to boot my RAID in the BIOS when I select my boot devices. How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Odie

There is not "fix" to be provided, Apple made a decision to not include the file sharing profile.
You are welcome to provide feedback, but after six years, I would not hold your breath.

On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain.

On Maverick my i cloud will not change the verification phone number even though I have change the phone number in apple and on contacts and restarted the computer. Help? I can't get the code necessary to fix the keychain without it.

You can change the phone number the verification code is sent to from a device or Mac that has your iCloud keychain enabled as follows:
In iOS 8, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain. Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
In OS X Mavericks v10.9, choose Apple () > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you don't have access to a device or Mac with your iCloud keychain enabled, you'll have to contact Apple support to verify your identity and get assistance making the change: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/.

Can't get ibook to boot from external harddrive when hitting option key

Hello,
After owning a Pismo Powerbook that had it's hardrive replaced --twice--, i'm all about backing my shtuff up for my ibook.
I picked up a Lacie d2 external harddrive today, and used Disk Utility's Restore function to copy everything from the ibook to the drive. I can boot off the Lacie without a problem when I select it as the startup disk from sys preferences.
But I can't get it to boot from the Lacie when I depress the Option key while rebooting or starting.
any suggestions?
ibook g4 933 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Let's be sure you are doing it correctly:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the desired boot drive (you will have to wait about 20 seconds before you can make the selection) then click on the large right arrow button. If this is what you are doing and it does not work, then you may need to re-prep the external drive and re-clone.
1. Boot from your Tiger DVD. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Set the number of partitions from the dropdown menu (use 1 partition unless you wish to make more.) Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the volume(s) mount on the Desktop.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process will take 30 minutes to an hour or more depending upon the drive size.
After the above re-clone as follows:
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the startup volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
4. Drag the startup volume to the Source entry field.
5. Select the backup volume from the leftside list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Check the box to Erase Destination. Skip this step if you've already formatted the drive.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.

Can I get Iphone 4 Home Button fixed?

I dropped it in the toilet today...
everything works except the home button. some short circuit?
can i get only the home button fixed without getting a replacement. and about how much will it be?

Apple does not fix devices. They do warranty and out of warranty exchanges.
Since you dropped the phone in the toilet, this would be an out of warranty exchange as water damage is not covered.
Out of Warranty exchange in the US is $199.

Can't get Powerbook to boot up...

I have a powerbook 15" that I purchased in 2005; I usually have it in sleep mode last and when I went to use it last night, I noticed that the light in the front wasn't flickering on and off. I tried to power it up using the on/off button, but that didn't work either, so I don't know what's going on. Can't get it to boot up no matter how long I hold the power button. Any suggestions?

Hi Emilio,
If the suggestion that you received from Philo2 doesn't solve the problem, you might try holding down the start button for ten seconds. Wait a few seconds then try to start it again.
Sometimes these PowerBooks go into deep sleep and don't respond to anything but a new startup.

Can't get RAID Card to work.

I bought a Rosewill RC-200 raid card and can't get windows to instal to it with 2 x 80 gb drives RAID 0. In the BIOS, it doesn't show up in the "Standard CMOS Features" list, which I guess might make sense, but it does show up in the Hard Disk Boot Priority list. It lists 2 hard drives, SCSI-1: MAXTOR 6B080P0 AND SCSI-0: WDC WD800JB-00CRA1, and "Bootable Add-in Cards. If I boot to the Windows CD, neither of the drives or the RAID show up. I booted with and without the RAID 0 setup and no drives were available to install to. How can I get windows installed on this RAID?
Thanks

Now here is the problem I am faced with. When I boot, it says "Disk Boot Failure insert system disk and press enter". If I insert the install cd it will boot Windows normally. If I boot without the CD it gives me the error. Any thoughts? I have XP installed on the RAID card. I have the boot sequence setup as Hard drive then CD and the Boot disk priority to the SCSI-0 Sil Striped Set <PM> first. Is there some other BIOS bit I'm missing?
Thanks
Joe Mac
It looks like that there is not active partition on the drive.
boot from XP CD, then go to recovery console.
use "fixmbr" to re-write MBR on the HDD.
then apply active partition with "diskpart"
type:
diskpart [ENTER]
select disk 0 [ENTER]
list partition [ENTER] /* locate your bootable parition and remember his number, usually its 1st listed, also "Type" of it listed should be "Primary" */
select partition 1 [ENTER]
active [ENTER]
exit [ENTER]
reboot PC, to reflect changes.

Can't get macbook to boot up

I can't get my MacBook to boot up, Come on and wheel spins. Screen turn light blue, then dark blue with curser and just keep repeating that pattern.

Can't help much until you tell us what version of OS X you are using and on what particular Mac model.

Can you get your ipod touch screen fixed for free if its the first time that is broke?

my friend broke her ipod screen and she took it into apple and they fixed it for free so can i get my fixed for free.

If someone breaks part of their device (intentionally or otherwise) it is not covered by the 1 year warranty so I'm not sure why she would have had it fixed for free.
If you are interested in finding out repair pricing make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store or contact AppleCare via phone.
Cheers.

I have an old iMac that won't boot up anymore. I have the OS X install disks but I can't get it to boot from these disks. No need to save anything. Any suggestions?

I have an old iMac. Not sure of the operating system but the install disks say OS X. The computer will not boot anymore and all I keep getting is to restart and when I do I keep getting the same message. I do have the install disks but I can't get the computer to install, or for that matter, read the disks. I would like to rebuild the computer from these disks so that I can continue to use this computer. There is no need to save anything on the computer as I backed it up months ago. Any suggestions as to how I can save this computer and not have to recycle it?

Really need to know what version of OS X it is currently running, and what version you are trying to install.

Can I get the dent and volume fixed on my ipad 2?

My schools ipad 2 dropped from the bed and now has a dent right on the side where the volume buttons are. The volume is stuck on off/low and they can't move because of the dent and the volume "icon" is stuck on the main screen the whole time i use my ipad. Can i get this fixed if i sent it to apple and for how much amd how long till i get it back?

Aguece-
As school property, it might be best to turn it over to your computer resource people and let them handle it.
If they can show it to an Apple Store Genius, it is possible it will be covered under warranty. Otherwise there is likely a fixed fee to trade it for a replacement.
Repairing it would probably be less expensive than Apple's replacement. I suggest your computer people look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you. There may be one in your city. In the US, <United States>. Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

Can I get my iphone 5 screen fixed even though it's not underwarranty?

My iPhone screen is cracked and has lost a corner of the screen. Can I get it fixed through apple or should j just get a new phone?

You need to get your phone evaluated at an Apple Retail Store and they will then see if it is eligible to be replaced or wether it is beyond economical repair.
To find the price for replacing an iPhone follow the link below:
http://www.apple.com/support/service/
- select iphone
- select your country
- select "warranty & service pricing"
Here it will show you the price for an Out of Warranty Service.
Hope this helps

Can;t get past the boot screen (formerly, "I'm having a keyboard problem")

Hello there,
This is my first post on this forum, and I'm here to ask for some help with my first build. The main problem at this point is that after I power on the system, it goes to the Platinum screen and says "press <Tab> to enter Post, or <Del> to enter setup" but neither of these, nor any key on the keyboard will respond.
I have not installed the OS yet, since I can't get to the Bios to do anything else.
I hope I included enough info on my signiture. Let me know if you need anymore info.
Eclayton
PS I changed the title of this thread, from "I'm having keyboard problems" since I think that was misleading, and not the real issue

Hello e,
Good to see you up and running. Good luck loading up your operating system.
The reason I wanted you to get your SATA drive connected to your motherboard SATA 3 connector is just that sata 1/2 connectors are unlocked. There is no way around it. SATA 3/4 connectors are locked and will give you better reliability and flexivility later on.
Updating your power supply may not be a bad idea if you got the cash. You have only 18 Amps on your 12 volts rail which is quite a bit lower than the recommended 24 Amps on 12 Volts for high end system such as yours. Use the one you have for now and see if it can get you into Windows running everything that you want and then make a decision. With no OCing you may be able to seak by if you get decent electrical power from your utility company. Your system voltage and stability once running will let you know.
Have fun,
Yep, got the OS up and running (it wasn't recognizing the hard drives at first, since I had strung up the wiring real nice, and neglected to plug in the power to them! D'oh!) But that was easy to fix.
Got the card reader loaded now, so everythings in place.
But, I think the power supply is an issue and will get a bigger one. The message I get says there's not enough power for the video card, so to keep my hardware safe from damage, it is only running within my available power. That's good for now, while I load my AV, and other programs, but I'm going to the store to buy that power supply...Do you think the above one I posted is worth a shot? It seemed a better solution then the one I have in the case...
Oh, one more thing, what does Locked and Unlocked mean, with SATA 1/2 and SATA 3/4? I'll switch them when I put in the new PS, but just wondered what that meant.
Hey, thanks a bunch. This has been fun, and you've been a big help.
Eric
