Drive size incorrect
I just dropped an image I took of a imac G5 onto a powerbook, and it reads the drive size as 120 GB or so. The actual drive is only 80GB.
What gives? How do I fix it?
nope - only f/w. when i check the info on the disk, what should i be seeing under the "owner" section? right now it says "ben" (me) is the owner but under "group" it says "ben" and read only access. if i change it to read and write, it just changes itself back once i close the info window.

i took a 320 gig drive out of my old pc and stuck it in an ice cube firewire thing. but when i reformatted to osx (journaled) it suddenly became 127 gigs. been trying everything including booting from the mac disks to verify and reformat again to get the original size back but it's no use. nothing works. anyone have a solution?

I don't recommend you to install a hard drive bigger than 2 TB if you are going to install Windows in Boot Camp or you may have problems
The largest 2.5" SATA HDDs of 9.5 mm thickness that I am aware of are 1 TB in capacity. There is a 12.5 mm thick HDD that will fit some MBPs. But I have not seen any of larger capacity.
Are there now 2 TB HDDs available for MBPs? If so, I am interested.
Ciao.
Both OWC and Crucial have SSDs of about 1 TB capacity.

Maximum firewire drive size for OS9?
What is the largest firewire drive I can fully use?
Can I mount a larger drive, but only use part of it?
Thanks!Hi, Les -
OS 9 has a volume size limit of about 200GB - a volume bigger than that won't be seen by OS 9.
This is a volume size limit, not a drive size limit, so a drive larger than 200GB can be partitoned into volumes no larger than about 190GB, and OS 9 will be able to see all the volumes.
This limit applies when OS 9 is the boot OS, not when it is used as Classic with OSX as the boot OS. -
Maximum hard drive size for 350 MHz slot loading?
Hello,
What is the maximum hard drive size for a 350 MHz slot loading imac?
I am aware of a 128 GB limit on imacs. Does the 128 GB hard drive limit apply to all imac CRTs or just the earlier models?
Here are the specs of my imac:
Blueberry 350 MHz
Slot loading CD-ROM drive,
6 GB hard drive
Is the maximum hard drive size limit of 127GB apply to this particular model?
ThanksYes, the last CRT iMac was in 2001. The first machines with built-in greater than 127 GB support were released in June 2002, as this article explains:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86178
So all CRT iMacs have that limiation.

The 8 GB limit is explained here:

Maximum hard drive size for upgrading a dv6375ea?
Hello to all,
My hard drive began to make noises and since it is past warranty, I will upgrade it. When I had bought the laptop I had chatted with a HP personnel on these support pages, and he/she had told me that the maximum size that the bios allowed was 120 gb. That is the original hard drive size!
Has anyone upgraded their hard drive or does anybody know of a technical value that I should try?
Thanks for your time,You can install as large a drive as you can find as long as it is SATA and 2.5" wide and 9.5 mm thick. SATA drives have no BIOS size limit. However, some have occasionally reported issues with 500 gig drives and 7200 rpm drives. I can therefore tell you with 100% certainty you can install a 320 gig 5400 rpm drive in your laptop. My favorite website for laptop hard drives is newegg.com. Don't buy from HP parts; it will cost way too much. You should be able to find the drive I mention for around $80 and laptop drives are also sold at Best Buy, Frys and similar stores.

O.S. / Hard Drive Size for NIO Server/Client's load testing...
Hi All
I am currently load testing a NIO Server/Client's to see what would be the maximum number of connections that could reached, using the following PC: P4, 3GHz, 1GB RAM, Windows XP, SP2, 110 GB Hard Drive.
However, I would like to test the Server/Client performance on different OS's:
Which would be the best possible option from the following:
1. Partition my current drive, (using e.g. Partition Magic), to e.g.
- Win XP: 90 GB
- Win Server 2000: 10 GB
- Linux: 5 GB
- Shared/Data: 5 GB
2. Install a separate Hard drive with the different hard drives
3. Use a disk caddie, to swap in/out test hard drives.
4. Any thing else?
- Would the Operating System's hard drive size affect the Server/Client's performance, e.g. affecting the number of connections, number of File Handles, the virtual memory, etc.?
Many Thanks,
MattYou can use a partition on the same HDD or use a second HDD, disk caddie well if its a direct IDE or SCSI. If its usb no it will be too slow, may be if you have a fire-wire but I still don't recommend it.
Be careful if you don't have any experience installing Linux you may do multiple partitions on you disk without knowing, because Linux ext partitions are not visible to windows.
Recommended disk size for fedora is 10 GB. This is the amount of data that will be created on you HDD when you do a full installation. -
Max Hard Drive size for Ultra 10s
Hi,
I'm kinda new to sun and I have a ultra 10s with a 9 Gig factory installed HD.
I was wondering what the maximum sized IDE hard drive that can be installed. I would like to mirror the system as well. I've seen another post about this but the max size was a 27 Gig drive and didn't explain how to mirror. I have Solaris 8 1/01 meda kit does that include the required software to mirror the drives. I think it's called Raid Manager?
Many thanksI'm not sure what the max drive size supported on an Ultra-10, but most
new Sun products are shipping with 40 GByte EIDE drives and use the
same chipset. Caveat emptor: Solaris <7 may or may not support EIDE
larger than 8GBytes, but since you are on Solaris 8 you should be ok.
For SCSI drives (requires a PCI SCSI HBA for the Ultra-10) the size can
be quite large. The most common large size SCSI drives today is 180
GBytes, but SCSI is designed to scale much larger.
You don't want RAIDManager for mirroring. Look for Solstice DiskSuite (SDS)
in your media distribution. If I'm not mistaken, it is cleverly hidden in
the "EA" directory on CD 2of2 in the media kit. Also, look for docs on
mirroring root using SDS on http://docs.sun.com

Does any know the largest internal hard drive size that dv6745us Pavillion has support for in the BIOS? I upgraded from a 250gb to a 320gb but want to go to a 500gb or 640gb. I called HP but they can't tell me what it is. Go figure.
Hi:
No one is going to quote you anything more than what the service manual states, unless they have personally took a gamble and succesfully installed a drive larger than the specs indicated (which is 250 GB).
You have successfully already exceeded that spec.
In theory, a 750 GB HDD should work just fine in your notebook and a 1 TB drive should too if the thickness is the same as a 750 GB or less. Some 1 TB drives are thicker than lesser sized drives and therefore won't fit in the drive bay.
Roll the dice, or wait indefintely for someone to reply that can say for sure whether a larger drive than 320 GB will work or not.
I am pretty confident a larger drive will.

recently picked up an emac, after holding out for a 1.42ghz model
anyway, already added a DVD burner and about to add some RAM (currently has 768mb)
the current hard drive is only 80gb - plus its having some issues... after some slow down in using anything on the mac i poked around and found the disk utility is reporting the S.M.A.R.T status as bad...
so i was wanting to replace it due to wanting more storage space, and this has just made me need to do it sooner rather than later.
my main question:
is there a maximum hard drive size the emac will take?
if the mac will take a 750gb drive, and if i can find an IDE drive that big anywhere i would, just i know they are kind of hard to come by... failing that a 500gb IDE drive is easy come by...
will they work?
cheersis there a maximum hard drive size the emac will take?
No.
will (those considerations) work?
Yes, any IDE/ATA will work in the eMac.

Do not get a SATA (Serial ATA) drive as they are not suitable for your eMac.

HP Compaq dc7800 bios limit on hard drive size
I have a dc7800 which has the latest bios update v1.32, and I have been using it with a 750gb boot drive and a 1.5tb second drive for some time. I recently bought a 3tb drive to replace the 1.5tb drive. When I connected it to the onboard SATA connector and booted up, the BIOS only reported finding an 800gb drive. Thinking this might be a defective drive, I went to Fry's and traded it for another of the same type and size. Same result when I installed it. Both drives were WD Red drives, and I have no clue what the problem is. A 1tb WD White drive was recognized without problem, so I wonder if there is a dc7800 BIOS limitation on the drive size. Anybody have an idea what that limitation might be?
Thanks,
MichaelHi,
Yes and No, please read the following articles and prepare properly before install new HDD:

UCS C series maximum hard drive size
Looking for info on the maximum hard drive size support on teh UCS C series. I have a C200M2 that I added a 4TB drive, I have updated the server to the latest firmware and BIOS however the server shows the drive size is 2TB.
Hi! and welcome to the community mate!
Here is the table that shows the supported disk's PID for the C200 server:
http://www.cisco.com/c/dam/en/us/products/collateral/servers-unified-computing/ucs-c-series-rack-servers/c200m2_sff_specsheet.pdf
If you successfully installed ONE HDD of 4GB and made it work, you were lucky cause I don't see any disk with that size, I have not even seen a disk of that size for UCS yet.
I am wondering if perhaps you installed 4 disks of 1TB and configured them in RAID 1 which would explain the reason for the size to go down to half of the capacity of the array as RAID 1 is a mirror.
Let me know if I misunderstood you.

What is the max hard drive size in an early 2008 MacBook?
I've got an early 2008 black macbook. I want to upgrade from a 250gb hard drive to either a 750gb 7200rpm drive or a 1tb 5200rpm drive. Will either of these work in there? I don't know if there is a maximum hard drive size/rpm that I can put in there. Thank you for your help!
I know these posts were a while ago, but I wanted to check in on your 2008 Macbook. I have the same model and want to do the hard drive update. Is your machine still up and running, or have you moved on?
Thank you!
