i accidently posted in the amd forum first , but was given the advice to try it in another system and save to cd's so ill try that. any other advice would be greatly appreciated. thank you

First, you need to verify that D: point to your slave drive. You can do that in WinXP Disk Management. Do you have any valuable information you need in the slave drive? If no, just go ahead and format it. Did you also mention the slave drive had a OS for previous system? If yes, change the boot sequence settings in the BIOS and let it boot to your slave drive. Perhaps from there you can save some data. If not, well, just go ahead and format it.

T43 motherboard damage cant access hard drive

Hello, I wonder if anyone to there could advise me.
I have a T43 with finger print reader, I was shoved on the train and dropped my bag
which resulted in it hitting the floor and the plug punched through the back into the
motherboard. The laptop was in standby at the time.
I have brought a USB 2.5 hard drive connector to try and recover my data but cannot
access it.
Is the hard drive encrypted if the finger print reader is used.
Can the hard drive be crashed so badly by the mother board being damaged that
you cant access it anyway?
Many Thanks
Dave

davidadams, welcome to the forum,
ouch! sorry to hear about your bad luck.
The fingerprint doesn't encrypt the hard drive, Client Security does if you configured it to do so.
If you had the finger print configured with a hard drive password set in bios you will not be able to access the hard drive in an usb enclosure. As long as you know the password it is possible to remove the password in another ThinkPad, preferably another T43.
As your T43 was in standby, it is possible that the drop also damaged the hard drive. This would have been less likely if it had been in hibernation mode or turned off as the heads would have been properly parked.
There are ways to recover files from a damaged hard drive, some less costly than others; it depends on how badly it is damaged, if it is damaged.

SA520 + Quickvpn + cant access network drive

Hello,
Ou customer have SA520 and VPN with QuickVPN.
One of the computers have W7 Home Prem 64bit and only Windows firewall ON.
Problem is that vpn connection itself connect as it should and i can ping routers ip-address but
when i try to connect to network drive it dont find it and ping doesnt answer.
What is the problem, i have tried to make holes to Windows firewall but it should not need those.

Hi Tero,
I think the issue at hand is that XP Home cannot reach the shared resources on the XP Pro "server". See:
http://www.compatdb.org/forums/topic/38973-xp-pro-wont-share-my-documents-with-xp-home/
The solution may lie in getting the XP Home PC to have the Security Tab.
Hope this points you in the right direction.
Cheers,
Julio

I cant access time capsule hard drive.

I cant access time capsule hard drive. Everything was working before but all of a sudden i get an error msg when double clicking on my network drive which states ' The local device name is already in use'. The time capsule wireless network works fine though. I am using Vista 64.

Reboot the entire network.. everything must go off.. all stuff off.
Restart in order.. modem.. router.. TC (maybe also working as router).. other network stuff.. clients.
Can vista now open the disk?
If not try doing it manually.. in windows explorer type the TC address \\10.0.1.1 for instance.. whatever IP it has. I just used default as example.
If no good, open the airport utility which I hope you have installed.
Make sure the TC name is short no spaces pure alphanumeric.
Make sure workgroup is correct and guest access is on with read and write permissions.
If still no good.. press and hold the reset.. redo the setup.
Later TC firmware is useless for windows users.. the best was 7.5.2 which you should go back to.
Do you have other clients using the TC? Are they all ok?
vista.. shudder.. has one virtue.. it made me give up windows and move to Mac OS.

Airport extreme base station cant access external hard drive

Just bought the new Airport extreme base station and I cant access the external hard drive. Any suggestions would be great. Everything worked great on the 5th generation airport extreme. But wanted to have the new speeds. But seems not to be worth it if I cant access my external hard drive. Please Help
Thank you in advance for any help.

I saw it in the finder menu but when I clicked on it nothing would happen. Then I went to my airport utility to see if that the extreme saw it. It was in the disk section. But I can't access it. Today it completely disappeared from the utility but my laptop is still online. This thing is crazy.

IBM ide 12 gig drive (master) IDE 1
western didgital 80 gig drive (slave) IDE1
Hello, I am not sure if you are aware of this but,
New hard drives transfer data faster than the old drives. Because over the years the speeds have increased, motherboards can run hard drives at different speeds, known as ULTRA DMA MODES / ATA MODES.
EG, Seagate barracuda 80GB ATA 133
When plugging a hard drive to the motherboard the BIOS can detect the hard drive speed, in effect this sets the hard drive transfer rate on the IDE cable.
So ATA MODE 6 = DMA133.
Your new hard drive is capable of this.
Now by plugging an older hard drive on the same IDE cable, you are making the cable run with 2 different speeds, as the 12Gb drive is probably UDMA 33, MODE 2.
This can cause interference within the IDE cable and in extreme cases cause data loss. Sometimes the Faster drive will be set to match the slower DMA MODE.
An 80pin IDE cable reduces the interference but you still may get problems especially with the difference in Hard drives. (very old and very new).
So you should remove the OLD 12Gb drive and leave the new drive on the Cable IDE1. If you buy another drive, which is UDMA 133 then you can put it on the same cable, IDE1.
That is also why everyone/manufacturers state run CD drives on a different cable than hard drives, because CD drive run at DMA mode 2.

I cant access the root share of a windows server after upgrading to mountain lion

Hi Guys,
Since upgrading to mountain lion i cant access the shared drives on our windows server. For example in a windows machine if i go to run the type \\server\ i get all the visible shares available. in my previous version i was able to do the same (obviously i would authenticate with my AD account). now when i try to access those same shares i get the message below:
"The operation cant be completed becuase the original item for "/" cant be found"
I can however connect to the shares directly for example if i connect to server path \\server\data it works ok.
I have verified my account details and they are ok - i have also disconnected and reconnected the connection.
This was working fine before the upgrade. can anyone help??

well iv just managed to get to 35 gig free (just deleting iphone backups) and im now able to get past the next screen on bootcamp.
unfortunatly its only allowing me to create a new partition not delete the current.
this is leading me to think the old ones master partition has become damaged and the hard drive dosent know it exists any more.
if this is the case (please tell me im wrong though) what options do i have as i dont want to / have the money to buy another hard drive to back everything up to it with.
thanks again

Accessing NAS Drive through vpn windows 8.1

Hi I hope someone can help
I have been having some trouble connecting to my netgear ready nes from my remote office
we have a LAN to LAN vpn set up using 2 draytek routers witch works well i can print, access remote desktop and so on. I cant access the shared drive on the nas (or on a pc) with out dropping the firewall, how ever once i have dropped the fire wall i can
mapped the drive and put the firewall back up, it works fine untill i log out from my pc, restart it or let the connection sit idle for to long, then i have to drop the firewall again reconnect the drives and reinstate the firewall then it works again untill
i log out, restart or it sits idle for a time, I have done some research and all tho there isnt a lot of info on the subtest, it has led me to believe that i need to allow an exception in the firewall, how ever i have allowed all of them and still no
change can any one help???

Port 3389 has absolutely nothing to do with accessing remote shares, that's
for remote desktop.
The ports needed to be allowed for shares are 135-139 both TCP and UDP, and
445 TCP and UDP.

I'm using a live a CD of arch-core-2010.05-x86_64 and Ive used a usb to do the installation process but i failed to setup grub correctly so i had to reinstall
when using the usb i get the error: missing operating system
but anyways im not gonna do the usb installation im just gonna do the live CD

falling back to interactive prompt you can fix the problem manually
/bin/sh: cant access tty: job control turned off
my hard drive is clean there are no operating systems installed
i have search on Google and all the problems i could find with the same error msgs are mostly coming from usb installs
does anyone have any info on the subject if so it would be greatly appreciated

Did you plug in the USB and tried to install there or trying to install in your hard disk? Please look into the wiki for USBstick installation.

Put new battery in ipod. works fine but windows cant access

a few days ago I successfully put a new battery in my ipod.
I followed all the instructions and it has worked fine: charges plays all the music nothing weird.
Then I tried to hook it up to my computer and my itunes doesnt recognize it, windows sees it but I cant access it (says Ipod on drive G). then i went through the process of updating it (2005-11-17) but after a while of attempting to initialize it says "cannot mount ipod". once i click OK it disappears from My Computer and the ipod updater closes.
i also get this prompt before anything:
- drive not ready prompt:
"the drive is not ready for use; its door may be open. Please check drive and make sure that a disk is insterted and that the drive door is closed"
I did theother 4 R's as well before this and even changed the cable just to make sure. any thoughts???

There is a possibility that when you plugged in your hard drive, after installing the new battery, it didn't plug all the way in. This is what happened to me. I just opened up the case and made sure that the hard drive was plugged in correctly. after that it worked fine.

I was partitioning my HD to allocate free space to give to my windows partition in Boot Camp. Now I cant access my windows partition at all. Please help.

I was partitioning my HD to allocate free space to give to my windows partition in Boot Camp. Now I cant access my windows partition at all. Please help

TTBOMK the only way you can increase the Windows partition is to repartition the drive back to a single partition
Then reinstall Mountain Lion
Restore all data from backup
Create new larger partition with Boot Camp
Install Windows
Restore data from backup

When i install itunes it keeps saying repair program and i cant access store

I keep reinstalling itunes and before I do I delete all apple software that's installed in my Sony laptop by the way I also got windows Vista..
And whe I reinstall itunes it won't let me access the store? Also when I go to programs it says repair for all my programs I have itunes, quicktime, apple software update, apple mobile device support and safari all these programs say repair in my programs and features. So im guessing this has something to do with the reason why i cant access the store.. I tried turning off my firewall and anti virus before i downloaded itunes and everything??
I had this problem before all i did was uninstall the programs all of apple programs and then reinstalled itunes and it worked fine now this time it wont work i can add songs to itunes eveything but cant access the store and like i said all my programs say repair.

Open a Windows Command prompt, e.g. Hit Start > Run, type in CMD and press OK. Type in SUBST F C:\<enter>
This will map F: to C: until the machine is restarted or you enter
SUBST F: /D at the command prompt. Now you can try uninstalling or upgrading the software again. (If upgrading the software, install the software in the default location, not on the F:\ drive.)

Premiere cs6, Retina MBP (late 13) cant access GPU CUDA

Premiere cs6, Retina MBP (late 13) cant access GPU CUDA
About a month ago I got the new Macbook Pro Retina 15-inch with the i7 and Nvidia GT 750M graphics card for work. It has 16gb RAM and a 500gb SSD. Im using it to edit on the go.
PROBLEM:
Ive installed latest Premiere Update 6.0.5 and latest CUDA drivers from NVidia but when I check the renderer settings in Premiere 6 it only shows Mercury playpack in software mode only. Ive read up on last years model being fixed by a recent update by Adobe and thought this might have sorted this version out too. ive also disabled switching in Energy saver mode to ensure it only selects the high spec card but that appears to do nothing.
Any support ideas welcome
