Can't install a 750gb. keep getting errors

Ok. I have a g5 dual 2ghz powerpc tower. I have been noticing some problems with the hard drive, taking longer to find things, when I verify permissions, it came up with errors, even told me a couple of times that it could not finish because of problems. Needless to say, I want to replace the drive. I have a 750g western digital that I want to use as the replacement. I tried to format the drive, but i kept on getting errors. then I partitioned the drive into 2 areas, and then it formatted the drive. When I used superduper to clone the drive, it ran for a bit then came up an error also. I then tried to format the 750 with the cd and it said that the drive cannot be used as a start up drive. Why?
Questions that I have:
1. Is there a maximum capacity that my computer can reconize per drive?
2. If not, why won't it let me format or install from the cd or even clone the main drive?

High capacity WD drives (750Gb and 1TB) seem to have a high failure rate. You should return the drive and get a different one.

  • I can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    i can't install itunes for windows get error message 5

    I've been having the same issues for the past year and a half. I've spent 6-8months trying to figure it out. Went to various Itunes stores with pictures on my Iphone per each step so I could relay all information that I'd come across and the personnel were less than helpful, after conversations that would sometimes last an hour between myself, employees and managers they always came back to "simply uninstall then reinstall" when I told them for the thousanth time that I've done that multiple times and my errors are happening while trying to reinstall it they act stumped and say "well then I'm not sure, I'll give you a call if I figure it out" and disappear. I've been very disatisfied at the lack of support from Apple and if Android to piece together a reletively reliable phone I'd switch to them in a heartbeat. I'll follow this question incase someone can answer this, but I don't have much faith.
    BTW, wifey has Windows 7 running on the laptop and my phone syncs just fine to that and no trouble with itunes, just mine (desktop).

  • Trying to install iOS5. Keep getting Error-43: An error occurred while backing up this iPhone.

    I've turned off my virus protection and tried several times, and keep getting this error message. I have Windows 7 home premium. What could cause this to keep happening? I have the Verizon iPhone 4.

    Don't bother installing right now as 5.0.1 will be out shortly. Are you able to manually back up and sync the phone in itunes?

  • In my Acrobat X PRO Mac os 10.0, I can't install 10.1, I get error 1301, how to install 10.1?

    I went to preferences > updater > unchecked automatic updates.
    So Manually or automatically I can't install 10.1

    Well, after much browsing these forums- taking several hours of readign and trial and error- I came across one cryptic comment.
    The comment: that Adobe Updaters can install an update incompletely so that subsequent updates cannot be installed.
    The cure suggested was a total uninstall and then re install
    I did that. Used the uninstaller. Then rebooted my Mac. Then re installed from scratch, reentering serial number. THEN the update ran and installed.
    Hurray
    So why does Adobe say that with Acrobat X there is no need to uninstall?That wrong advice cost me some good hours of sleep tonight!

  • HT4623 Can't download io7.  Keep getting error message

    Can't download iOS 7. Error message keeps coming up.  Trying over wireless

    Apple's servers are probably being hammered by everyone and his dog trying to get the update the minute it was released. I'd suggest you wait a few hours, or perhaps until tomorrow, and then try again.
    Regards.
