Disk not found - solaris 10 installation

Hello *!
First of all: thank you for taking the time.
The problem: trying to install solaris 10 on a Enterprise 220R with a D1000 Storage Array attached. The configuration, as seen in OB, looks like this:
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@2
Target f
Unit 0 Proc Symbios D1000
/pci@1f,4000/scsi@3
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk Seagate SX318203LC
Target 6
Unit 0 CD Toshiba DVD-ROM
the alias for disk is /pci@1f,4000/scsi@3/disk@0,0
the probe list entry looks like:
pcib-probe-list 1,3,2,4,5
When I boot off the cd I get to the start of the solaris installation and after configuring the network parameters the insatll stops because of no disk beeing found. Now, if I insert a disk in the D1000, this one will be recognized and used as the install disk.
I guess it has something to do with the fact, that the controller the D1000 attaches to is listed before the onboard one. So, my question: how can I tell the solaris 10 install program to search also the onboard controler? Is there an obvious parameter I overlooked?
Thank you very much and in advance for any help on this topic!
Best regards,
Christian

I think that the problem is more than likely going to be either a faulty disk, or more likely the wrong path that you have. What you can do is the following:
1. From the ok prompt insert the solaris cd 1 of 2 and type 'boot cdrom -s'
This will bring the system up from the CD using a memory stored kernel that is taken from the CD. Once here you can do your normal checks, format, etc, to check the status and paths for the disks.

Disk not found while installation.

While installing Arch I get this error.
:: Mounting '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201504' to 'run/archiso/bootmnt'
Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201504 ...
ERROR: '/dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201504' device did not show up after 30 seconds...
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished
sh: can't access tty; job control turned off
[#rootfs]
I searched the web and all problems on the web seems to be because installation media being a USB.But I am using a CD here.
Also I can't access other commands such as fdisk,etc... although simple commands like ls etc... works fine.Also md5sum and sha1sum does'nt return any errors.
I think the problem might be my cd drive is being recognized by some other name.(Just a guess,most of the problems that I came upon online is because of a naming problem.)

Konstantinos, this is only meant for your benefit, but perhaps archlinux isn't right for you yet. Archlinux is targetted at users with a good bit of linux experience already. We have phenomenal documentation, but all of that documentation has some basic assumptions about a users starting knowledge: how to fill in template/placeholder information in commands, how/when to run commands as root, etc.
The errors above suggest that you will have a hard time following the wiki and man page documentation - this will likely just lead to much greater frustration with archlinux even if you get it installed. So perhaps tinker with some other distros for a while first.
But if you want to move forward, you need to be root (or use sudo) to write to block devices. But as you failed to fill in the appropriate information in those commands, I worry that you would actually try to write to /dev/sdx rather than where you usb drive is. The error message at the end suggests you did actually use /dev/sdc as the output, but is this your flash drive?

I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 2011 MBP upgraded to Mavericks.

hello,
And thank you in advance.
I'm getting "Installer disk not found" message during boot camp 5 and windows 8 install on late 20011 MBP upgraded to OS X 10.9 Mavericks. Any ideas?
I've downloaded the Window support option software and the WindowSetupBox.exe and copied it to the USB drive. I tried to create an iso image from my Windows XP machine but recieved messages that Windows 8.1 could not run on XP. I've ordered the Windows 8.1 backup media.
Any way to proceed?
Thanks Tim

download the win 8 iso from here;

then start over. install on to your usb along with the support software.

"Disk not found" and "No boot device found"

Please share any knowledge that may help in overcoming this problem. Installing Solaris 7 on Dell Precision 620, 933 Mhz, PIII. At the point where all systems seem about ready to go in completing interactive install, it comes back with "Disk not Found". A friend tried to help with his limited knowldeg from having loaded Solaris software before, but was unable to ascertain the problem. set_ environment command was not recognized. If its any help the boot path read: /pci@o,o/pci_ide@1f,1/ide@1/sd@o,o : boot args kernel/unix_-r
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi ,
I have not faced this problem on solaris 7 however I did face a problem similar to this on Solaris 8. I made a small dos partition and made it active and then started the solaris 8 installation which then went through fine.
Hope that helps.

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2

Time machine fails backing up with a "backup disk not found" error after upgrade to Lion 10.7.2. I've erased and reformatted the drive; reconnected Time Machine(it saw it) and began a new backup. The backup starts again but fails before completing with backup drive not found error. I used the 10.7.2 combo update. Any help on how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!
After waiting since October for a fix, I have now upgraded the firmware on the Time Capsule and installed the new Airport Utility, released yesterday, and the situation is even worse.
Up until now, the Airport Utility had an option to disconnect all drives manually and the Time Capsule would then work until the next reboot – a temporary (?) work-around.
Now that option does not exist in the new-look Airport Utility. And the Airport Utility installation can’t be rolled back and the old utility won’t restore.
The sparesbundle is still not accessible. Anyone worked out a work-around in the new environment yet?
I have another Time Machine backup working fine to a trusty old Lacie Drive so erased the one on my Time Capsule to see if that works. I have renamed the Capsule and the Time Capsule Drive. But to build another full backup will take at least two days and I shall be away from tomorrow and am reluctant to leave the Capsule and computer up and running for a week. And I’ll bet the sparsbundle will still be nowhere to be found.
How can Apple screw up so badly when they are to become the richest company in the entire world and – soon – will have more cash in the bank than the entire United States? Can’t they afford someone who really can sort this out? Especially when a Firewire connected hard drive – my trusty and simple LaCie – works fine.
Words, almost, fail me.

"Application Not Found" CS4 installation error

Problem: "Application Not Found" CS4 installation error
Some Adobe Creative Suite CS4 Production Premium distribution disks issue an "Application not found" error while loading Disk 2 due to an error in the Autorun.inf file.
Does your Autorun.inf for Disk 2, 3, or 4 contain
[autorun]
open=Autoplay.exe -auto
icon=\csppdvd.ico
Autorun.inf should instead only say
[autorun]
icon=\csppdvd.ico
There should not be the line
open=Autoplay.exe auto
Only Disk 1 should have this line.
On Disk 1, Adobe has a file called Autoplay.exe which starts the installation.
"open=Autoplay.exe auto" runs the Autoplay application.
Autoplay.exe is not on Disk 2, 3, or 4 so having the open line generates the error.
Since you cannot edit the DVD, the trick is to turn off autorun so Windows doesn't run Autorun.inf upon loading Disk 2. Look at the Wikipedia description of "Autorun" for details. Wikipedia describes how to disable Autorun using
Start -> Run -> gpedit.msc
You will need to do this for XP. Vista has a Control Panel which allows you to "Take no action" for "Software and games". If this does not work, use gpedit.msc instead. You will know Autorun is off if upon inserting Disk 1, no installation window appears.
Wikipedia notes that "AutoPlay is the name of a different feature in Microsoft Windows" not to be confused with Autorun starting the Autorun.inf file.
Now that Autorun is off, manually double click Autoplay.exe on Disk 1 to start the installation. Disk 2 should now load properly.
By the way, it appears you cannot teach an old dog new tricks. Some Adobe Creative Suite CS3 Production Premium distribution disks had the same problem. Obviously, Adobe did not learn from their past mistake.
You may want to call Adobe to obtain replacement disks which don't have this error.

Petrula,
Can you look at the DVDs and send me the numbers you find on the inner edge? Also, any numbers on the outer DVD sleeves. This can help us to identify which sets of media are affected and possibly resolve it, or at least more specifically target solution information.
Thank you!

IPod Classic 120GB cannot sync, "Required disk not found"

Somebody, please help! iPod Classic 120GB charcoal, current OS as of about a week ago (won't stay synced long enough for me to see what it is), iMac 24" 10.6.4, iTunes 10.0.1. Let me know if you need any more info and I'll try to provide it.
Everything was absolutely fine until I updated to the newest version of iTunes. Now, when I plug in my iPod, it says it's connecting then jumps straight to the "Okay to disconnect" screen. It never shows up in iTunes at all. After doing this repeatedly, I unplugged it then immediately plugged it in again before it had finished the progress bar on the "Okay to disconnect" screen, and it finally showed up in iTunes, but it gave me an error of "iPod was not properly disconnected" then "cannot sync - required disk not found" and disconnected itself again.
I tried resetting it (menu+center buttons) while it was plugged in, and this did nothing. iTunes still didn't recognize it at all.
About a week ago, I followed some instructions somewhere and toggled the "enable disk use" option (I usually keep it unchecked) then was able to restore it. The songs were added back in a bizarre order (not alphabetical, not chronological, songs within an album added out of order, jumping from artist to artist, etc.) and I had to sync it again for three random albums that it missed the first time, but once everything was in again it was fine. I haven't added any new songs or playlists to my iTunes library since then (just changed a few ratings and I like to keep track of play counts), but when I tried to sync it again this morning, I got exactly the same errors.
The only difference this time is that it alerted me that one song in my library (a song I happen to like very much) could not be synced. The song still shows up on my iPod, but will not play. It still appears and plays in iTunes on the computer.
The iPod works perfectly in day-to-day use and is a little over a year old. I take very good care of it (my previous iPod is four or five years old and still works fine) and it has never had any problems before this. It has almost 100GB worth of music (no other media, just music), which makes it pretty annoying to have to restore it more than absolutely necessary. What is going on here and is there some way to fix it that will last longer than a week?

Hi, yeah I'm experiencing the same issue as everyone else with a 120gb iPod classic using iTunes 10.1.1 (4). Started about the time of OSX 10.6.5 update and hasn't been resolved with the OSX 10.6.6 update.
iPod attempts to Sync but now quits without even appearing on the computer let alone iTunes.
I have ESET security but quitting the app doesn't help.
I also have an iPhone 3Gs and that's still syncing fine (thank heavens), via a different library.
I've since managed to wipe the iPod clean (back to factory settings) as forced to do so by following the instructions in another post to remove the iPod Photo Cache. I then moved my iTunes folder to another directory for safe keeping.
I set up a clean iTunes database thinking my old one might have been corrupted. To do this you open iTunes from scratch while holding down the option key and select "Create Library". iTunes then remembers the last library created whenever you open the app.
When I am able to see the iPod summary screen (a rare occurrence now) I see that "enable disk use" is checked ok - this has been noted as a problem in previous forums. So that's not the issue.
Actually the iPod doesn't even stay connected to my 2010 unibody MacBook Pro when the iPod is switched over to disc mode. It immediately goes into "OK to Disconnect".
So I now have a clean iPod, and clean iTunes - all empty and essentially useless!
Anybody out there with any ideas? Plllleeeeeeeese?

Hard disk Not found Error

My computer suddenly after working properly the day before, started displaying an error that says hard disk Not found. It is not booting up to windows aince the hard disk has been disconnected in some way. It is still under the hp manufacturers warranty till auguat of 2015, so would I be able to send it in for either a device replacement or a service order to correct the error. Also there is a small crack in the body near the charging port, but that is from a drop from eariler.

Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

Hi and I have a problem.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
Any suggestions?

Hi!
Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

I am setting up my nano and it says it is unable to syn it because "the required disk not found". Anyone have any clue what that means?

If you're using XP, the following document may be of some assistance:
