ESATA 10.4 Boot disk - Not seen by Leopard.

Promise card will not work in this windows release.

I think that the disks have to show up under /dev/mapper and thus be handled ny multipathd.

RAID disk not seen from WInPE boot

Dear all,
We have a system with 3ware raid controler card configure as RAID1.
We are trying to build a standard Windows server 2008 image that can be installed in any System, by providing a system dependant unattend.xml file.
As a test first I have generate an unattend.xml file using WAIK. Then I have generate a WinPe boot disk.
When generating the WinPE boot disk, I have follow this procedure in order to add to WinPE boot my Raid controler driver:
http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/2349-guide-adding-drivers-to-a-custom-winpe-30/
The problem I have when booting from WinPe and listing volumes from DISKPART is that I cannot see my Disk mounted as RAID 1.
Any idea what can be wrong ?
regards
serge
Your knowledge is enhanced by that of others.

Hi Serge,
Can you please post how did you resolve the issue? I am having similar issue here & I am unable to see the Disk Drives in WinPE 3.0. I have 2 3TB Hard Disk Drives connected & it needs Intel RAID drivers to load to see the drives in DISKPART "List
Disk" command. I used drvload.exe & it shows success but actually it didn't load the drivers & I am unable to see the drives.
But interestingly I am able to load the RAID drivers manually in Windows 7 Setup screen.
Please help me to load the drivers in WinPE.
Thanks,

DiskWarrior Boot Disk NOT Booting

Here's an odd one:
I attempted to start-up from a boot disk containing OS 9.1 and DiskWarrior so I could run DiskWarrior on my hard-drive for routine maintenance.
Everything went okay until I got to the OS 9.1 screen with the progress bar and icons across the bottom. When 3 icons appeared the start-up process stopped dead and the cursor froze.
I restarted from the boot-disk several times with the same result. It stalled at the exact same spot, only sometimes the cursor froze and sometimes it didn't freeze.
I then started normally from my hard-drive OS and ran DiskWarrior on the boot-disk. But even that didn't solve the stalling when I tried again.
Any ideas what happened? I haven't touched the Zip boot-disk since last using it.
I guess I'll have to make a new Zip boot-disk. Maybe I'll make 2 of them. Erase this one and start over and make a back-up. I never liked the Zip boot-disk method as they seem like glorified floppies, but I couldn't find the older version of DiskWarrior on CD.
Thanks!

Hi, Paul.
Your Zip disk may be fine for a while if it was reformatted without incident, but if I were going to rely on Zip disks for emergency booting and running utilities from, I'd keep at least two duplicate Zips around.
Question: Can I transfer the data from my Zip Rescue boot disk (OS 9.1 & DiskWarrior) onto a Compact Flash card (in my PC card slot with adapter) and then put the CF card into the Kanguru CD burner and make a bootable CD for running DiskWarrior on my hard-drive?
I don't know for sure, but I doubt it. For one reason, I suspect the Kanguru drive probably burns all CDs in ISO 9660 format, which is cross-platform and almost universally compatible. But I don't think a Mac can boot to a CD in that format.
Secondly, there are some special requirements for a bootable CD, and just copying a bootable System Folder from another drive onto a CD doesn't make the CD bootable. Apple's Disk Burner application can't make a bootable CD at all, and making one with Roxio's Toast disk-burning application is a more complicated procedure than just burning an ordinary CD, though I don't know precisely what it does. I do know that since nothing can be written to a CD once it's been burned and closed, a bootable CD can't contain any software of any kind that insists on writing preferences, settings, or anything else to the startup disk. And any software that needs (for example) a prefs file to be in place before it can run will require you to create that file appropriately on the source from which the CD is burned, before burning it.
You may want to try booting to your CompactFlash card itself. Of course a CF card is much more expensive than a blank CD or even a Zip disk, but if you can't trust Zips and you can't presently burn bootable CDs, maybe a bootable CF card would be a useful temporary expedient until you get a general-purpose CD burner and appropriate burning software. I don't recall whether a Wallstreet can boot to a CF card in a CardBus adapter. To give it a try, hold down Command-Option-Shift-Delete (rather than "c") while powering up. If the card is bootable and your hard drive is the only other available bootable device, the PB should boot to the card.

Boot Disk Mystery after Snow Leopard Upgrade

I recently moved from 10.5 to 10.6.
First thing I did was to zero out and format my boot drive, which is actually two identical drives in software RAID. Then I installed Snow Leopard on this RAID array...as I did with Leopard and Tiger before that.
I thought everything went fine. But then I noticed I couldn't rename folders in my home directory. I could delete them, add new files, etc...but I couldn't rename them. Nor could I adjust any permissions on them. Odd.
So I jump into disk utility and hope to fix things with a repair, but the option is greyed out. I can't repair permissions or do anything else really...all options relating to my boot disk are greyed out. And booting from another volume or from the install CD does not change this!
I am totally lost on this one so I hope you have a clue. Again, the OS seemed to be running fine aside from these, well, quirks. But I am unable to do anything with this disk even when manipulating it from another volume (i.e, not booting on it)

I am going to zero out these disks again and rebuild the array from scratch, per the guide here:
http://macs.about.com/od/usingyourmac/ss/raidstripe.htm
Probably easier. I'll post results when I have them.

External disk not seen after sleep on Yosemite

My sleep/wake issue on Yosemite affects the external disk (USB 3 connection) and the printer (HP 8600 all-in-one): On wake, after a long sleep, my iMac late 2012 shows an error message saying that the disk was not properly ejected and, in fact, the disk icon disappears from the desktop. The printer issue is even worse: no longer seen by the system after a long sleep but also right after a print, i.e.the next print won't start because the system no longer "sees" it.
About the printer, I originally thought it could be a driver issue but now that I see a similar problem occurring on the disk, I start thinking the driver could be only part of the problem.
Most of times, a restart fixes the problem but this is very annoying.

Mac os x 10.4.6 x86 boot disk not booting on my power pc

I have a g4 power pc (550mhz) and i have the disk. I put it in and go to system options/startup disks. Click that and hit restart. It restarts but goes right back to desktop like normal. I open the cd hit install. Enter my password and reboot. and it reboots as normal. I hold option when booting and only the HD comes up. How can I install this OS!?

What Tiger install DVD are you using? You need to use a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) (See Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac? ).
More info.
After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US
Look at this link Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger Installing Software Support Page
http://www.apple.com/support/tiger/install/
You can also download the Tiger Installation and Setup Guide
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710
Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

WD 1TB ExternaL Hard Disk not seen on desktop/finder

I have been using WD 1TB external USB hard disk for 4 months with my Macbook with Tiger 10.4 on it. I have plugged in the disk after I purchased without any special formatting or anything, and it worked fine so far. It just took a while, about few minutes, for the Macbook to show it on the desktop every time I got it disconnected and connected again. However, this time, I can not see the disk on the desktop nor on the Finder no matter what. I have plugged it in and out several times, I have restarted the machine etc. Nothing works. The disk is quite empty and it works fine with the PC..no cable problem or and disk failure issue for sure. I can see the disk on the Disk Utility app, but I can neither verify nor mount it...Any suggestions would be very helpful..thanks in advance

Unfortuanately WD external HD's have a pretty bad reputation with Macs. It has something to do with their enclosures as their internal HD's seem to work just fine. I would recommend exchanging that drive for one with a higher quality enclose. Just about any other manufacturer would be fine however the 3 best IMHO are:
OWC Mercury Elite Pro series
Lacie Quadra d2 series
G-Tech G-Drive series
All have similar features and build quality. I would be comfortable using any of the three but I've been successfully been using the Lacie's for 3+ years.

Disks not seen in C200 server

I have just been trying to solve this issue but with no success.
I have a C200 server with 4 x SATA 7.2k 250 disks in there, the problem is whatever I try the server just doesn’t seem to see the disks.
In the basic boot up screen I should get this below showing the raid software kicking in and detecting the drives.
From the manual showing how it should be
However I just get the first two lines showing that the raid software is starting up but then a message saying no hard disks found, just the port 5 DVD drive.
Also if I go into the BIOS and have a look at the list of devices in the SATA config it shows all ports as blank except for the DVD drive.
This is a fresh out of the box server is there anything I need to do to make the server pick up the hard drives? From what I can see it should just do it automatically on boot up?

Yeah all seems to be in place all the disks light up, If I go in the CIMC and look in the inventory it shows that there are 4 disks in there as present, if I pull out 2 disks it shows them as absent so i know the server is physically seeing them and powering them up.....just nothing else seems to acknowledge them.

Hi,
Do you mean that USB drives to and mounted VHDs all cannot be formatte? If so, please first check if the disks can work on another computer.
If it can work properly on another computer, please refer to the the similar thread to troubleshoot the issue:

Hot Swap disk not being seen on h8-1360t uless attached when first booted - Windows 7 64bit OS

I have used one of the internal SATA connections to create an eSATA connection. The disk I an using externally is seen correctly when turned on at boot time. It is not seen if the disk is added after the machine has been already started.
I have ACHI enabled in the BIOS and the insalled driver is the, 'Intel 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family SATA AHCI Controler' , version 12.6.0.1033.
What might I be missing to get the disk to be seen when connected after the machine has been runing for awhile?
This disk is seen corrected on another machine runing Windows 7 32bit - the only difference I can see between these machines is the wokring one is 32bit Windows 7 and the failing one is 64bit Windows 7.
Thanks

Hi,
Your PC according to the HP specifications is not full UEFI (perhaps partial) but I don't believe that is your issue. You need to be running a version 8 or 80 BIOS level to be full UEFI.
Did you reboot after installing the latest version of 12.9?
Do you know what SATA level the drive and housing supports?
You might nuc'ing the hard drive and reformat it. Save any data before doing so. Open ou the RUN window (admin) and enter the following commands:
cmd
diskpart
list disk
select disk x ----> x is the target drive
clean
exit
Now go into Disk Management and format the hard drive MBR and assign a drive letter.
There is one last thing to check. See the below image. All of the SATA ports by default should be AVAILABLE and not marked HIDDEN. You need to boot into the BIOS (Computer Setup).
Additionally, go into the Control Panel --> Folder options and look at the following settings.
HP DV9700, t9300, Nvidia 8600, 4GB, Crucial C300 128GB SSD

Downloaded much and now can not see how to fix it?

I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.
