Disc erase failed with error invalid request

HI,
I'm trying to get a new 2.5tb external wd hard drive to work with both my mac and my old pc - so i can backup my old data from the pc.
i have tried using disc utility, and erasing the disk and reformating to ms-dos (fat) format and recieve the following error message:
Disk erase failed with the following request: invalid request
i have also tried partitioning the hard drive, and recieve the same error message.
Any ideas on how to re-format this device?
Thanks!

Had to reply just to say this.
Thank you Webdva

Dynamic Select query is failing with error "Invalid Table Name"

OPEN rc FOR 'SELECT count(*) from :s' USING tab_name;
fetch rc into rec_count;
CLOSE rc;
my requirement is to build dynamic select query to retrieve the total count of rows in each table ( variable tab_name contains the table_name )
But I am getting stuck by this errror, not sure if there is any alternative !
ORA-00903: invalid table name
ORA-06512: at line 43

OPEN rc FOR 'SELECT count(*) from '||tab_name;
fetch rc into rec_count;
CLOSE rc;
-- This will work
1. Create a sql statement.
2. Open ref cursor for that statement.

ReportViewer & IReportServerCredentials WORKS within Domain; FAILS with Cross-Domain request:HTTP status 401: Unauthorized

The IReportServerCredentials approach with the ReportViewer control is working fine within a domain, but I get a 401 not authorized error for a Web IIS server trying to call a SSRS server in another domain. I've see plenty of helpful postings on the use
of IReportServerCredentials but nothing that provides suggestions for this cross domain issue. Hope someone has some ideas on this one. Thanking you in advance for your response.
Using VS 2008 VB.NET web app with ReportViewer control Version=8.0.0.0.
Outside domainA Web Server IIS 8. OS = Windows NT 6.2;
Inside domainA Windows 7 desktop; Inside domainA Windows Server 2003
SSRS using windows authentication and on SQL Server 2012. OS = Windows NT 6.2
The processing described below successfully produces a report when the web server app runs on a machine in the same domain as the SSRS server. For the "same domain" web app, both Win 7 desktop VS 2008 development server and Windows 2003 IIS 6 have
been tested successfully.
The report fails with error "The request failed with HTTP status 401: not authorized " when the web app is run from a windows IIS 8 machine (outward or Internet facing web server) that is not in the domain of the SSRS server. The ReportViewer control
credentials (provided by IReportServerCredentials and taken from the web.config file) match a domain account in the same domain as the SSRS
server and one that has browser permission on the report folder. The same credentials are used successfully for reports requested from within the SSRS domain.
One interesting thing is that on the Internet facing web server, I can access the report via a browser request. So it is possible to have a user request coming from the Internet facing machine get through the SSRS windows authentication. Just does not
work for the ReportViewer.
Using IReportServerCredentials interface per example provided by Microsoft msdn site. Code listed below.
IReportServerCredentials would appear to be a viable approach because it can pass credentials of a windows account known to the SSRS server, but not known to the client machine. By the way, database calls to SQL Server in domainA using a SQL Server
native login account work fine. So the network support communication to a domain that the web server does not belong to.

I got the answer to my question by following suggestions by Irb on another technical forum.
From web server (not on same domain), I was passing credentials of a domain account on the SSRS server. Irb suggested I create a local account on the SSRS server and pass those credentials. I tried this but got the same results.
This approach worked for web server in SSRS domain, but failed with 401 Unauthorized for web server outside the SSRS domain. Per suggestion for local account on SSRS server, I tried passing empty string "" as the domain via IReportServerCredentials.
Again this works for web server in the same domain as SSRS. But I get the 401 Unauthorized error when the web server is outside the domain. In testing and checking similar posts, I discovered an additional piece was required for the report request to work
across domains. The default user did not have authority to send the request and/or receive the report. Adding the following in <system.web> section of web.config file was needed.
<identity impersonate="true" userName="localwindowsuser" password="#########"/>          where "localwindowsuser" is a windows user defined on the web server.
I never needed this extra piece when the web server ran in the same domain as the SSRS server. I thank Irb for making me go through the details of additional tests because that is how I stumbled across an identity comment and ultimately got things working.

Internal warning: Decryption failed with error

OK, yesterday I did not receive this error when running this Job and all my other projects run fine and access the same Data Sources.
So why then am I receiving this error. I have checked the Data Sources for this job and all seem fine. I have rebooted my PC.
Sometimes when I run this Job trying to figure out the error it will give me an additional message that it cannot communicate with the data flow. (see second message)

Can anyone help with this?

Is my HD Dead? Reformat Disk Utility Error: secure disk erase failed with the error could not open disk.

Hi,
Fed up with seeing the spinning beach ball I decided to reformat my MacBook Pro...
After backing up everything on an external hard drive I put in the OSX install DVD, restarted the machine and held down 'C'.
I followed the install prcedure, clicking next a few times etc...
I then went into Utilities > Disk Utility. I chose 7-Pass to erase the Macintosh HD and set it off erasing.
I checked the process an hour in and message on screen read:
Secure disk erase failed with the error:
could not open disk
The internal hard drive no longer exists in the disk utility so I cant retry erasing it.
The only thing that appears in disk utility is the OSX install DVD.
I can't even shut down the mac as everything under the apple tab is greyed out!
I'm guessing this means my hard drive is broken right?
If anyone has any other ideas of what to try I'd really appreciate that.
How do I turn the machine off?
If my hard drive is gone then should I consider getting an SSD drive?
Any recommendations for such a drive would be great.
Hope you can help!

Did you partition the drive?
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder. If you need to reformat your startup volume, then you must boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger or Leopard.)
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (only required for Intel Macs) then click on the OK button. 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 can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

Disk Erase failed with the error- Operation timed out

I've checked my computer- Mac Book White in Apple store, everything is fine just the hard disk has been corrupted. Needed to erase and reinstall. By the time I wanted to erase it, I can't erase and appears "Disk Erase failed with the error- Operation timed out".
Anyone knows how to solve this question would be nice.
Thanks

Well give this a try:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
Now download a utility like TinkerTool System or Leopard Cache Cleaner - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - and use it to clear out your system, user, and font caches.
And, try this for the software update issue:

Delete the following files:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist

"xxx" is a number.

External Drive Disk Erase Failed with the Error Input/Output Error

I have 2 hard drives in an external FW800 enclosure that I am unable to format. When I go to initialize the drives in Disk Utility, I get the following error message: "Disk Erase failed with the error: Input/output error."
The drives show up in Disk Utility, but I can't repair them (that option is grayed out). Disk Utility correctly ID's the manufacturer of the drives (Maxtor), their size (200gb each), so it's obviously seeing that the drives are there. But it won't let me format them.
The drives are new, by the way; they don't have any data/files on them. I have Disk Warrior, but the drives don't show up there to be repaired -- probably because they aren't formatted yet.
After looking at other posts, I tried switching the jumper settings around on the drives -- from Master/Slave to cable select and back again, but it didn't help. I also tried doing a zero erase (even though the drives are new), zapping the PRAM -- again, no help.
One question I had is whether this could be a bad FW800 cable? The cable is new -- it came with the enclosure, which is an OWC Dual FW 800 enclosure. Other than that, does anyone have any other thoughts about what's causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

SOLUTION!!!!
I had the exact same problem. I have the original 20 GB hard drive that came in my Powerbook G4 550MHz and a couple of years ago I traded up for a 60 GB drive and bought a FW/USB enclosure for my original drive to use it to backup my important files. I hadn't backed up in over a year (shame on me!) and I decided maybe I should erase the drive and start from scratch. It was connected via USB.
At that point DiskUtility gave me the exact same Input/Output error. I tried partitioning the drive into 1 or more partitions but came up with the same error. I couldn't figure out what was wrong so I decided to startup in OS 9.2.2, I did that and let it start up, then plugged in the hard drive and it gave me the standard "This disk is unrecognizable, do you want to eject or erase?" so I clicked Initalize. It worked!
Just make sure you choose the MacOS Extended option when initializing out of OS 9 (instead of the MacOS Standard option) so it can be read and viewed in OS X.
If your computer is too new to be able to boot from an OS 9 folder on your drive or an OS 9 CD, then see if a friend or a local library has older computers that are running OS 9 or can boot from it. If not let me know and you can send me your drive and I'll reformat it.
Kind of crazy...I haven't used the OS 9 partition on my HD in YEARS...was even thinking about erasing it since I don't use any Classic applications anymore...good thing I didn't!

Request of one report fails with error: unable to extend tablespace

Hi All,
When I submit one request of report, the request end up with error:
unable to extend temp segment by 128 in tablespace XXXX
The request costs too much tablespace in short time, but the temp is about 20 G large.
The sever have been add storage recently, but I don't know whether it is related to the performance issue, because the request had not such issue.
How do I deal with it ?
Thanks,
Xinya

USMT Errors - Request to SMP failed with error 0x80004005

The client I am at we are working on using USMT integrated with their OSD task sequence. Yesterday we setup a State Migration Point on the DP that is located at this office. We ran a task sequence for testing purposes that just basically does the Scan
State. The few machines we tested this task sequence on successfully completed the task.
This morning we have tried some more testing and now the task doesn't work. The job fails at the point where it is requesting user store space. The log files shows that it knows about the SMP and that it request access but it fails and continues
on trying to find another available SMP.
The first few attempts the errors are based on "Failed to connect to
\\SERVER.DOMAIN\SMPSTORED_241ADE445 (53)
"Cannot connect to http://SERVER.DOMAIN SMP root share"
"Request to SMP 'http://SERVER.DOMAIN' failed with error (Code 0x80004005) Trying next SMP.
"SMP request to 'http://server.domain" failed with error: E_SMPERROR_ENCRYPTKEY_EMPTY (103)
"ClientKeyRequestToSMP failed (0x80004005)
We have removed the SMP and have re-added it.

Disk Utility _ Disk Erase failed with the error

I have a 1GB Kingmax USB Stick which I am trying to erase or restore. I used in a PC at uni and it no longer works. When I try to erase or restore with Disk Utility I get an error message 'Disk Erase failed with the error:
Input/output error'
I have tried also with Windows, but to no avail. The System Profiler recognises the USB stick.
Any ideas?
Cheers!

what does these mean?? Does this have any effect on replication?? thank you ...

These messages indicate a loss of connectivity between the replication agents. This could be due to one some kind of failure (e.g. network issue). If the messages are infrequent and replication is otherwise working okay they are not a big cause for concern though if I were you I would check the network etc. for anything abnormal.

Request User State Store Fails with error code 0x00004005

I am trying to get a machine refresh working in SCCM and am running into a road block with the user state migration. The Task sequence hits Request user state store and then fails. In the logs on the machine it shows it downloads the cert from the SMP but it fails to verify the cert. The thing is that this was working and then stopped for no apparent reason. I have added a second SMP and it has the same issue so its got to be something environmental causing this. I have found no references to the errors I am recieving that relate to the issue so I am stumped. We have a SCCM 2007 site in mixed mode. The error log is:

Hi
I am getting the same issue.
More info:
The same task works ok for one client - an xp machine that was upgraded to vista sp1 using sccm but without usmt.
If I send this machine a task which includes usmt and os deploy it works.
On 2 other machines ( so far) , the request store fails with the same error - 0x80090006. (one of them existing vista and the other xp)
I have tried removing and adding the client from the domain but it did not help.
Any idea?

Help!! "Volume erase failed with the error"

I have no idea what to do ! My computer was running a bit slow and I wanted to get rid of any unwanted apps and files, so I backed up the files that I did want on an external drive. I then erased everything on my HD. Then I restarted it and attempted to reinstall the old apps from the cd that came with my computer but I couldn't. It takes me to the Utility Dock every time I restart it and when I try to install Lion back on, I can't click on the HD and it says it's 'locked'. When I try to reset it again or do anything at all it gives me a "Volume erase failed with the error" message. I can't do anything! Can anyone help???

Replace the hard drive.
If it can't be erased, that usually means something is seriously wrong with it.
