Can't see second HDD in the BIOS boot sequence choice menu
we have 2 HDDs in a X2170 x86 server
we've installed Solaris 10 on one, and RH on the other.
however, when accessing the BIOS, we can't select which one to boot from in the boot sequence (the "second" HDD does not appear as a choice in the boot sequence menu), and must therefore manually swap the drives into the primary drive slot to boot on our OS of choice...
what are we doing wrong ? how come our second HDD does not appear ?
Hi,
Really appreciate your continued support - OK, here's detailed response/update:
1. Both disks are the originals and I've checked both with another PC in external caddy and both seem A1.
2. Have tried doing as you suggested with the BIOS, but no can do. The BIOS seems to be very limited - it is as follows:
ACPI version 1.2
Disks are listed as follows : Current State Built-in HDD1 = 2RAID-0
Built-in HDD2 = 2RAID-0
Create State Built-in HDD1 = 2RAID-0
Built-in HDD2 = 2RAID-0
It lists both disks at the end with their Toshiba Part Nrs, capacity, etc
3. +When you install recovery image (WXP with recovery discs) both HDDs are recognized properly but after SP3 installation the second one is not visible for Windows explorer and disc management+
+Can you confirm this?+
Sequence of events was :
Installed XP (checked config and both disks recognised by Windows)
Installed SP2 (successfully)
Tried install SP3 - was not successful and machine shut itself down.
After unsuccessfully trying to get it back up, re-installed XP
Checked config and now D: drive not seen by Windows
Swapped disks over in slots to check for slot failure - C: disk worked aok in D: disk slot - but D: disk not seen in the other
Again removed the D: disk and checked it in external caddy on other PC - no probs works aok
And that's where I'm left.
Seems that there's something about the current state of the D: disk drive that is preventing XP from seeing it - yet the BIOS does ......
Is there any utility I can download that could help sort ??
Again, many TIA
Logis

Mac mini: OS can not "see" second HDD.
Hello:
Through a series of unfortunate events I messed up the partition table of my Mac mini server. The OS can not "see" one of the 02 HDDs included in this mini server. Even trying to install the OS from the original DVD fails to see the second HDD, which used to have the boot partition and most of my data.
I boot up using the DVD into Disk Utilities, then I use the Terminal utility:
diskutil list
/dev/disk0 => 500 GB
/dev/disk1 => 500 GB
Please see screenshots here:

But here seems to be the problem:
/dev/disk2 => 1.3 GB
And partition "2" in this disk has the label "Apple_HFS Mac OS X Base System"
Shouldn't partition disk0s2 have the label "Apple_HFS Mac OS X Base System" instead?
Running OS X 10.8
Any suggestions on how to get the OS to "see" and boot from partition disk0s2 will be appreciated. Thanks.And partition "2" in this disk has the label "Apple_HFS Mac OS X Base System"
Shouldn't partition disk0s2 have the label "Apple_HFS Mac OS X Base System" instead?
I'm not on 10.8 to be certain right now, but I don't think so...

Can you see a image in the Get Info Window?
After upgrading to Mt LIon and while using CS6, I can't see image previews in the Get Info window. Can't see images in the upper left corner of the get info window, so I can't make a selection and then do a copy- paste like I could do before I upgraded to Mt Lion with CS6. I want to be able to paste a image of the subjects in my folders.. IE folder of Panda Bears would have a image of a Panda showing on that folder. Folder of The Great Wall would have a image of the Great Wall on the Folder of Great Wall pictures. This has always worked for the past many years I have used a Mac and Photoshop. I started with Photoshop 2. All my photo folders are represented by images so I have a good idea of what is contained in each folder. Now after 2 weeks in China, 20 folders are represented by 10-11-12, 10-12-12, 10-13-12, 10-14-12 and so on. Shows me nothing but dates. I have tried saving as Jpeg, Tiff, and PAD, and still can't do a copy-paste in the Get Info window. Apple says it is a Adobe problem, Yesterday Adobe told me it is because I am uusing a Nikon D800 and Adobe does not have a patcdh for the NEW Nikon camera. I then tried using my Nikon D2Xs, Nikon D3X, Nikon 800 and even my wife's D50 and none of these camera allow me to copy paste the thumbnail image to the clipoboard like I have been able to do for YEARS... I can see images in a folder in Bridge, but the images dont show in my desktop folders.IE, a folder on my desktop with 200 pictures only show with words/ numbers/letters NO IMAGES appear in the folders on the desktop. On some folders the folders in a folder don't show up as Folders either.
Can Any one help me. Same thing happens on my MACPRO w 16 GB Ram and on my 17" MacBook Pro.Allan Sicks wrote:
Thanks for your input. Problem might be with the EASTER BUNNY..... have to have someone to blame.
I can't blame you for saying that.
Adobe is the clear owner of the responsibility to make functional their product that they claim is compatible with your operating system. Adobe is the one who sold you the product.
I just went looking for what Adobe has said about Mountain Lion compatibility, and they both list Mountain Lion as compatible and include such language as that on this page (emphasis mine):
Adobe and Apple have worked closely together to test Adobe® Creative Suite® 5, 5.5 and CS6 editions and individual products for reliability, performance and user experience when installed on Intel® based systems running Mac OS X Mountain Lion (v10.8). Earlier versions of Adobe Photoshop® (CS3 and CS4) software were also tested with Mountain Lion and there are currently no known issues.
I suggest that Adobe needs to get on the ball and get this fixed. The time for user patience is over.
If someone from Adobe is saying "Adobe can't fix it" then that someone is at the wrong authority level and/or is thinking on the wrong level.
This is business and the business is making products that have value and are sold to people who perceive that value. Adobe doesn't get to keep selling products that don't work while standing on principles that "it's someone else's problem". Customers don't care why it doesn't work.
It's obvious to a child that if Photoshop CS5 can write the proper things to the Apple OS so that the thumbnails are visible, that there's something Adobe could do to fix it.
But EVEN IF this were something only Apple could fix, that Apple hasn't fixed it yet says pretty loudly that Adobe isn't making the right overtures to Apple for their mutual benefit. Adobe, are your executives so greedy that they can't grease a few palms of their friends over at Apple to put some priority on this? What's the problem here? Has Adobe actually forgotten how to do business?
-Noel
P.S., You should know that I don't use a Mac and am personally having no issues with seeing proper thumbnails and previews on my Windows 7 and 8 systems, since the software that does that isn't from Adobe. -
The BIG WHITE MOSTLY BLANK , MOZILLA START PAGE was blocking my use of PRINT PREVIEW, from the orange "Firefox" in the upper left corner.
I was told i was using an out of date version of Firefox.
But no "click here to update".
So i downloaded the new edition of Firefox.
And still, i can not see PRINT PREVIEW, because the large white screen of the MOZILLA START PAGE is blocking it.
I have selected a background wallpaper, so would rather not see ANY of the BIG WHITE START PAGE, at all !!
HEEEELP,,,,,,Hi,
Can you please post a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot screenshot] of the start page when it is blocking the print preview. Please note that you may have to change to the tab of the site to be printed to see the print preview of the page.

Do you have a Mac or idevice for setting up the Express? It does require a later utility than is available for windows.
You might be able to setup with the v5 utility in windows but there is no guarantee.
You should use a simple name both for the base and the wireless. eg AEXgen2 base name and AEXwifi for wireless name.. that is if you get access. -
I've just signed up to iTunes Match as I have songs on my iPhone 4 which wont sync with iTunes as they are from CDs but I can't see my music in the cloud now. Anyone had the same problem and have an easy fix?
What fixed it for me:
On your computer, open iTunes > My iPhone (or whatever name you gave your iPhone) > "Music" page
Uncheck "Sync Music"
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
Uncheck the box for every song, playlist, etc.
Click "Sync" button (bottom right) (This step may be unnecessary, but I did it and got the result I wanted.)
Let it run and finish
Check the boxes for the music you want on your iPhone
Click "Sync" button (bottom right)
Let it run and finish
See if that doesn't work for you. I tried a lot of things that did nothing, but this seems to have fixed it, and quickly. -

My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it. What's blocking it?
I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

I HAVE LOST MY ALL MY EVENTS, NOW I CAN ONLY SEE MY PHOTOS IN THE PHOTOS SECTION. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE ?
Never heard of that before. Events and Photos are exactly the same thing, just presented in a different way.
What version of iPhoto? Can you give us a full description of what you see in the Events section?
Finally, please don't type in block capitals They are harder to read and it feels to the reader like you're shouting at everybody. -

Exporting an EDL or copying and pasting a timeline into a bin gives a complete list of the clips in a sequence, but what I really would like is a list of the files used, without any duplications due to multiple clips from a single reel. Is there any quick way to automatically generate such a list?

There are a number of third party solutions for this. I just use Bridge, so can't recommend one in particular.

Thanks for your help.Does the iPod work OK?

Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1
