Failed creating Desktop PC Utility USB Drive

I'm trying to create a Desktop PC Utility USB Drive for my RT computer in MAX.  I keep getting the message shown in the attachment.  I formatted my thumb drive and I have no files in it.  Any solution?
Solved!

Figure out the problem (had two other USB thumb drives in the computer).  I don't know why having more than one thumb drive would be an issue because MAX asks which thumb drive to format.  However, problem solved.

  • Can't format HDD using Desktop PC Utility USB Drive

    I'm trying to install LabVIEW RT 9.0 on a Kontron ITC-322 cPCI using the Desktop PC Utility USB Drive. The Kontron ITC-322 has a Core 2 Duo and an Intel 3100 chipset which has the IICH and an IMCH and an Intel 82571EB ethernet contorller. The HDD is a flash disk module that connects over USB and appears as a hard drive, not a flash disk.
    I'm able to boot from the Desktop PC Utility configured USB Drive but when I go to format drive I get an error saying no SATA/ATA drive found. Since I had a PXI-8108 controller handy, I installed it's SATA drive on the Kontron ITC-322 and booted again from the USB boot disk and tried formating it's drive. ( I didn't care about wiping it). Again I got the same error. I went into the Kontron's BIOS and set the ATA/IDE compatibility mode from Enhanced to Compatible and go a new error. Since LabVIEW RT 9.0 was already on the controller the Kontron attempted to boot it. I got kernel error 146080 and ETS Monitor halted with error 2002.
    Finally I just tried booting my SATA drive but it seems that didn't work. I had Linux on the drive and it just booted that. I never could get the GRUB to find the LabVIEW RT partition on the drive so it was never capable of booting it.In fact the only way to boot it was to use the PXI-8108's custom BIOS.
    Also, the Kontron's BIOS is an American Megatrends ver.08.00.4

    Hi,
    Have you looked at this RT PC requirements document? Of your components that I checked, they seemed to be compatible. I'm not sure about your hard drive though.
    Did you try this?
    "If AHCI, IDE or compatibility/legacy mode isn't available or doesn't work, try RAID to get HDD recognized"
    I would also recommend making a "Format Hard Drive Disk" from MAX first. Format the HDD and then try using the boot drive.
    Any change when you do this instead?

  • How to create a system recovery USB drive?

    My U845-S406 crashes every 15 minutes with a BSOD referencing iastor.sys.
    Multiple diagnostics say it is all good.
    Multiple virus softwares say it is clean.
    It crashes even quicker in safe mode.
    I have the latest Toshiba raid drivers, but updated to a more recent Intel set.  The error changes to iastora.sys, and goes back to iastor.sys when I switch back to the Toshiba drivers.
    I booted holding down 0, and told it to restore; but it promptly crashes.
    I made a W7 disk and tried to load it, but it promptly crashes.
    As a last resort before throwing the computer out,  I want to create a system recovery USB drive, format the harddrive and try recovering from the USB; but I don't have the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator (or any Toshiba software at all...)  I downloaded a copy and ran it, but it says I don't have a HDD Recovery Area.
    I know I have one because 1) I can access it by hold down 0, and 2)Partition Wizard showes it.
    So, how can I create a system recover USB drive (or make Recovery Media Creator find the HDD recovery Area...)
    Interestingly, the other day it spent 90 minutes installing a W7 update without a problem, but crashed immediately when done.  Maybe that means something.

  • ITunes will not allow me to drag files onto my desktop or a USB drive. The files still come up in finder and I can drag from there but I need entire playlists transferred. It started this when Yosemite went public and I updated out of BETA.

    Songs and Playlists cannot be dragged from the itunes app onto desktop or usb drives.
    Files can be dragged from Finder but only one at a time.
    The issue started when I updated Yosemite out of BETA.
    I am running:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10
    2013 Macbook Pro
    iTunes 12.0.1

    Hey! I had the same problem you did just today when I was trying to get my second iPhone to sync. What you need to do with music or anything extra that you doing you have to creat a second playlist or picture or anything that you would like to use, so that you can add to the second device that you are going to be using. I am not sure if that will help but it helped me out a lot!! Good luck!

  • Can't create a Windows Seven USB drive using Bootcamp

    Hi! I ve been trying to create a Windows Seven bootable USB drive using the Bootcamp Assistant. I tried to create it using an ISO of my Windows DVD in order to install it on my new Mac Mini. My problem is that I get an error: Your bootable USB drive could not be created, an error occurred while copying the windows installation files. My USB drive is 8G, and I‘ve tried with a 100G external HDD too... So it‘s not a size problem. I also tried to format the drive different ways without any success... I found lots of threads relating to this problem but none of them had a solution. Any clues? Thanks in advance!

  • Problem creating Bootable Windows 10 USB drive with Bootcamp 5.1

    Hi all,
    I have read quite a number of threads (here and elsewhere on the internet) with problems creating a Bootable USB installation for Windows 10 on OSX Mavericks.    The usual response is "make sure your .ISO is unmounted".    With that being said, it appears that for most users on OSX Mavericks, this alone does not fix the issue.
    The specific error I get is:
    "Boot Camp only supports Windows 7 or later installation on this platform. Please use an ISO file for Windows 7 or later installation."
    As mentioned I have double checked that the ISO is not mounted.    Anyone happen to have any solutions?    Also, would creating a bootable drive from a windows machine still work with my Mac the same way it would if it was created with bootcamp?
    System specs are:     OSX 10.9 Mavericks, Early 2011 Macbook Pro, (MacBookPro8,3).
    Cheers,
    Jonathan

    W10 is not officially supported. BC Assistant checks available software signatures on ISO images to verify that it can be used. This checking is not always 100% fool-proof, though. You are using a 2011 MBP, which is also a factor in this. One option you can try is to install an evaluation version of W8+ and then upgrade to W10. The upgrade does not require BC Assistant, once Windows is fully installed.

  • Cannot mount external USB drive with FDisk_partition_scheme

    Due to some recent mac issues in my lab, we updated one of the computers to Maverick 10.9.4 from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 yesterday. Anyhow, this seems to have erased the ability of the mac to read or mount several identical USB drives with the NTFS format (WD My Passport Ultra 500GB USB3.0). It could do it yesterday when it was OSX 10.6.8, but not today (OSX 10.9.4). The drives still work fine on other OSX 10.6.8, Windows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04 computers (this is appears to be a problem with the Maverick 10.9.4 operating system itself, rather than the flash drives which work flawlessly with every other computer I've tried). I want to remove data from the computer to create backups on the USB drives (no, I don't want to create an online backup or buy a new set of USB drives).
    diskutil can see the drives, but cannot verify or repair them as they lack a GUID (GPT) partition scheme. I'm assuming this is the root of the problem. Manually mounting the drives does not work. Installing the ntfs-3g driver also did not work (I was using this to write to the NTFS drives until we upgraded OS's). Installing the WD Passport drivers for OSX also did not work. How do I get the mac to mount these drives?
    I could reformat one USB drive and then copy to the others, but this would be extremely inconvenient and take days of copying files back and forth (and would prefer to fix the mac rather than go through this with every NTFS drive I own). If I did this, the FAT32 hard drive format would not be suitable, as format is unable to handle the extremely large sequencing datasets I need to transfer. I'm not super familiar with hard drive formats, but in the event we cannot get Maverick to actually work could someone possibly suggest a format able to handle large file sizes (the largest file I need to move is ~60GB) and be compatible with Windows 8.1 / OSX 10.9.4 / Ubuntu 14.04 as well?
    Another workaround I thought of would be just to install an Ubuntu partition on the mac and get the files off through the Linux install. Which is also inconvenient, but would probably be faster than trying to reformat the drives and copy everything over onto them again given the amount of data I want to transfer.
    Unrelated, but is there any way to view files and folders in the OSX root directory besides through Terminal? It seems like this functionality was also removed when we "upgraded" from Snow Leopard. (At this point, if it were up to me I would wipe all of the macs we own and replace them with Ubuntu... even the most minor of tasks always require some sort of workaround with them... at my wits end here ).

    Yeah this definitely appears to be a problem specifically with this mac. It's been having all sorts of weird problems lately, and we figured that upgrading to Maverick might fix them (but instead we got new problems).
    To give an update on this, I ended up reformatting one of the drives to HFS+ and disabled journaling. It now recognizes the drive again, and I'm pulling the files off that way. I looked at exFAT, but it looks like HFS+ has much better Linux support (Windows is read-only but that's only a minor annoyance, as the algorithms to process the data only run on UNIX machines anyways). It's a shame I couldn't keep using NTFS (had to copy over literally EVERYTHING again...) but whatever. Again, no solution for the issue (where this mac can't read NTFS drives).
    @rkaufmann87 - To give a bit more explanation, we recently had to disable online backups because apparently the sheer amount of data causes Time Machine to freeze the computer and fail every time it has a scheduled backup (original issue we thought that upgrading to Maverick would solve... didn't work). The hard drive has been having a lot of issues when it begins to reach max capacity as well. So I am pulling off all of my files to external hard drives and deleting the local copy before we attempt to back up online again. And the data would probably take me a year and a lot of money to recreate (for the curious, it's high throughput sequencing data). I'm choosing not to take any chances as a result.

  • Apple Mobile Devices Support USB Driver issue

    While I am aware this is a somewhat common problem, I have already followed all suggested routes I've seen for fixing it, and none have worked. My computer seems unable to detect my iPhone at all, and seems to fail to install the AMDS USB Driver (though all other elements of iTunes appear to install correctly.
    Here is some relevant information to help troubleshooting.
    I have already stopped and restarted AMDS and enabled automatic startup (http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1567)
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and related services (Including AMDS) (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923)
    I have tested all relevant hardware, including the iPhone itself, the connecting cable, and the USB ports that I've used, and all are functioning correctly (The iPhone can connect to other computers using the same cable, the computer can connect to other devices using the same USB ports)
    I have the newest version of iTunes available (11.1.5)
    While Apple Mobile Devices Support is installed, the USB Driver associated with it does not appear in the device manager. I have checked all folders in the device manager, including (but not limited to) Imaging Devices, Portable Devices, and Universal Serial Bus Controllers.
    There are no "Unknown Device" entries in the Device Manager
    My operating system is WIndows 7
    Both before and after reinstalling iTunes completely, Windows is unable to detect the iPhone in any obvious way (My Computer screen, Device Manager, etc). The USB driver for Apple Mobile Device Support is not disabled, but rather does not appear at all.
    What could be the cause of this problem? Is there a way to install the USB driver by itself without installing/reinstalling the related iTunes applications?
    Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    really? so apple.com arent checked by those who work on apple improvements? that would be kinda stupid im my ears. some comments here have an answer from ppl with an apple symbol, "specialists" they call them self. need some respons from them maybe.
    i have tried everything, worked fine before the latest patch, so why cant it be a driver bug? they are humans too, they who make drivers. they just have to admit they had done something bad here, and solve it fast.
    can i download an old itunes or something so i can atleast send my photos over.
    the PC dont even say  "couldn't install driver" or what it says in english, nothing happends at all. the drivers are there.

  • "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

    Hi Apple Ppl of the Wrld: I need help I been working on installing windows 8 on my Mac.
    Spec of equipment:
    Mac Book Pro Mid 2012
    Bootcamp Version: Version 5.0.4 (473)
    Bootable USB Flash Drive: Type Scan disk 4 GB windows 8 pro iso image but without the driver and the 2nd Scan disk USB flash drive with 32 GB with the Bootcamp Drivers downloaded and saved to this drive.
    Please Note: I also have the original back up installation disc for Microsoft 8 Prof 64 from Microsoft where I purchased it from.
    1st Bootcamp is not recognizing the Original Microsoft 8 Pro backup disk from microsoft itself.
    Solution: I created the New Image from the Original Microsoft installed disc in my desk top and changed the extension to .ISO then burned the ISO image into the newly purchased DVD+R. Then I ran Bootcamp Once again and it get the following error message "The installer disc could not be found -- Insert your Windows installer disc and wait a few seconds for the disc to be recognized. Solution
    2: Created a bootable usb drive with bootcamp assistant successfully with bootcamp. Yes I close, ejected or un-mounted any image that was open or had been previously used then i restarted the Mac. Next, I start the bootcamp assistant tool once again then i get the same insert your windows installer disc message. 
    3: Then I try to resolve the installer disc not found issue: this are the steps i took: a). Lauch disc utilities
        1. Selected the top most drive 750 GB Macintosh HDD
        2. On the right you’ll see 5 tab buttons: First Aid | Erase | Partition | RAID | Restore.
        3. Choose Partition. Then I clicked + to add another partition size of the partition was 222 GB
        4. Change the Name of the Partition to BOOTCAMP
        5. Change the Format to MS-DOS (FAT)
        6. Click Apply to save the changes and then reboot your Mac and we’ll begin Windows installation.
        7. During reboot, press and hold the alt/Option key and you’ll be presented with drives to boot from.
        8. Use the arrow keys and return button to select the Windows yellow USB key drive containing your Windows 8 installation files.
        9. This will begin the Windows install. --> then i get the following message: "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR".
    4: Take the Mac to best buy and let them resolve the issue and charge me like a million dollars for it :'( since i have no other idea who to get this bootcamp working at all. This has been a terribly lengthy issue and it is not as simple as it is claimed to be since i started with the Original Windows Disc Purchased from Microsoft and I have the Optical disc drive which it should be simpler from what I understand.
    Please can you help It would be of great help.
    <Email Edited by Host>

    from what i understand you are trying to install win 8 pro from a "backup disk" the one that you purchased from microsoft.
    this will not work, it is not an installer disk.
    you need to start the process again. erase the partition you made on your hdd. in disc utility click the minus button after selecting the bootcamp partition, then manually drag the divider down fully then apply.
    next, erase your usb then format it.
    download win 8 iso from here;
    http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/download-windows-8-pro/
    it is perfectly legal to use your purchased product key in this install.
    in bootcamp select the iso image you just downloaded, select your preferred partition size, check all 3 options.
    you have the support software on another usb but you wont need it so it can be discarded. the install will work far better with the iso and support on the same drive.

  • Boot Camp For Lion -- USB ISO Method --"Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR"

    Hello, has anyone had experience with dealing with this speciifc problem?
    In short, upon rebooting, I am getting a black screen with a line of text that says, "Booting from Boot Camp Assistant created USB Drive...Failed to load BOOTMGR." Nothing happens after that.
    I am using Mac OS X Lion 10.7.4. I have an ISO of Windows 7 Prof. along with an 8GB usb drive. I changed the coding in my bootcamp program to allow for the normally first invisible option that allows creation of a USB Installation program using an ISO that is normally only for computers without an optical drive.
    I have that box checked, the check for new software box, and the install windows box checked. I went through the process of creating the USB, downloading the software, and partitioning the drive. Then on restart, I get the failed to load bootmgr error.
    Some people have suggested using two usb drives for this. I am trying that method but it does not seem to help thus far.
    Can anyone offer any help?
    Thanks.

  • Creating a desktop PC utility with an USB boot utility

    Creating a desktop PC utility with an USB boot utility
    Hi everybody
    when I looked for how create an Real-Time Desktop ETS I found two ways to do it:
    1. With USB create, here is the program: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/lang/en/id/1369
    2. With Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX)
    With both, I been having trouble, but I could find an explanation of the error that comes up. This is the warning message that comes up: "Unable to find a USB drive. Make sure that it is connected to your computer." So I thought that the USB drive wasn't good, I changed the USB  and the same message keeps coming up. I looked for all the necesary requirements, and I have everything in order, the real time module, the CVI, and LabVIEW SP1, but I only have the evaluation version, I would like to check it first and look if it works OK.
    Here are the instructions:

    "Everything that has a beginning has an end"

    Hey anfedres,
    I went ahead and deactivated by labview and labview rt installs, and I was still able to format a USB drive just fine with both the utility and MAX. My suggestion would be to try switching out the USB drives again, the smaller the better. The utility is very small, so if you have any of those small flash drives that people give out at conferences/expos/etc, you may be better served by using that rather than a 16 GB drive. Some flash drives come with built in utilities that can cause problems, so the simpler the better. You might also completely format the usb drive using windows before using our utility. The flash drive I used was completely empty.
    I also wanted to make sure that you were aware of the deployment license associated with the process you are attempting:
    http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/13753
    Let me know how a different drive works out, and we can move forward from there.

  • Bootcamp 5 fails to create installation USB drive

    Bootcamp version 5, running on Mountain Lion, keeps failing on creating the Windows 7 Startup disk. I'm using a 8gb USB drive and it formats it without any problems. The process will carry on until around 50% of copying installation files and then fails.
    I've tried 2 different USB Flash drives and I've check the ISO image for Windows 7.
    Can anyone help me with a solution? Or why this is happening.
    Thanks

    It means you must have windows in a file instead of a disk and the file's extension is ".iso". For Example: WIN7INST.iso. .ISO files are the windows counterpart of Mac's .dmg files. How do you create a windows .iso files? I perfectly don't know but surely there's a program such as Disk Utility that can rip a Windows installer CD/DVD into a file with the .iso extension.
    Back to you question: you need Windows in an .iso file format instead than a CD/DVD.
    By the way... I'm not going to suggest you to do what I'm going to say because I'm not sure it always work but I sometimes rip a Windows CD/DVD with Disk Utility in "master" format (no compression) with .cdr extension. Then i just change the .cdr in .iso and it works in windows.
    Why using a .ISO on a USB drive instead a CD/DVD? Becaus installation may be faster or in case you don't have a Superdrive, either internal or external, but necessary for installing Windows in BootCamp. From a generic CD/DVD reader, Windows installer will not start on a Mac, at least on my... dead  late 2011 MacBook Pro.

  • Disk Utility create image error - "Invalid Argument"  - on USB drive.

    I wanted to use a USB 2.0 drive that I share with a Windows machine to backup my son's iBook. I divided the drive into two partitions and formatted the iBook backup partition as FAT32. I attempted to create a read-only disk image on the USB drive in order to backup the iBook, but it does not complete successfully - it terminates with an "Invalid Argument" error. I also tried creating a read/write disk image and that terminates with an error "File or Folder not found." Anyone have any tips or clues as to what may be the problem?
    iBook   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I figured out my problem to some extent. I was not creating an empty image, but was trying to create a disk image without selecting a folder. Once I selected create an empty image from the File menu I did not get the error and was able to create an empty image on the USB drive.

  • Rescue and Recover create backup on usb drive failed

    Dear all, I am very new to the backup software. After browsing through the forum for what I can do with the recovery and rescue process, I decide to follow the standard procedure. My notebook is T61 with vista home basic. I did not change any partition configuration or mess up the factory settings. The only thing I did is to update the Think Valtage package to the latest version. For R&R, it is 4.21. I burned the set of recovery disc (1 cd + 3 dvd) and the rescue disc (1 cd). All went very well. Then I started to create a base backup, the destination drive is a Seagate usb drive. Shortly I started the backup process, I received 5 to 6 dialog box stating some file could not be copied from z drive, I just clicked OK for each. Then I was presented a dialog box stating that the operation was canneled. So the backup cannot proceed.
    I again checked the forum and figured out the z dirve should be the hidden service partition. But I did not change any partition settings or reinstall the OS, how come some files were not there? Anyone encounted the same problem before?
    I got another question. Some posts mentioned when the RnR did the first backup on an usb drive, it will ask whether the drive is set to bootable (although I did not see this step myself). May I know what is the difference between making the usb drive bootable or non-bootable? Since I have got data on my usb drive and did not want to repeat the data copying again, can I choose the non-bootable? If in the future I need to restore a backup, I plan to boot the notebook with rescue cd and then restore from the usb backup. Is this possible?

    I don't think the failure is due to usb drive file permission. I reached this conclusion based on 2 observations,
    1.  The 5 or 6 dialog box which contains the error states very clearly a message like that z:\preboot\xxx cannot be found, where z is the hidden service partition
    2.  Althouth the backup was cancelled shortly after launching, it did create some files and folders on the usb drive (D drive), they are
        d:\boot
        d:\preboot
        d:\bootmgr
        d:\copyfile
      where boot and preboot are folders and there are some files inside. The copyfile is a script file, if opened in notepad, I can see that the lines indicate copying files from z:\boot to D:\boot, from z:\preboot to D:\preboot, etc.
       It seemed that certain files in z:\boot and z:\preboot cannot be found and they are so critical that backup will not continue without them.

  • Disk Utility Not Formatting External USB Drive

    Hello,
    I recently upgraded to Leopard.  Around this same time, my company purchased two, 1 Terabyte USB External drives for my coworker and I in the graphics/web development department.  They arrived this morning and we were very excited.
    My problem is that I cannot get Disk Utility to erase/format the new, external USB TB drive for use with my MBP.  Disk Utility fails almost immediately with the following message:
    "*Disk Erase Failed*
    Disk Erase failed with the error:
    File system formatter failed."
    The options I'm choosing for the Erase are:
    Volume Format: MAC OS EXTENDED  (i've even tried the 'journaled' version too)
    Name: TB
    As soon as I hit 'Erase' I get the error message I listed above.  The volume never mounts on my desktop and does not exist.  I can see the drive itself in the System Profiler, so my Mac sees it, it just can't format it!  I've also made sure all my permissions were repaired, so I'm just a little confused as to why this simple task keeps failing?
    Is there some additional, esoteric step that I'm missing?
    My coworker was able to get his disk to work because he did NOT have Time Machine turned on yet.  When he connected his new TB drive, Time Machine asked him to format/initialize the disk and he of course said "ok."  I had Time Machine set to use my OLD external USB drive and it's been working great. As of this writing, my coworker is a happy camper. I, however, am not.  I'm not blaming Time Machine, just noting the differences between my coworker's experience and my own. Since the volume is not currently mounted on my machine, I can't format my disk the same way as my coworker has done using Time Machine, since Time Machine doesn't see the volume.
    My fear is that the manufacturer (whom I've also contacted and am awaiting their response) will throw this back to a software problem....and the folks on the forum here will point their fingers and say 'hardware problem.'  Ah, the eternal struggle.....who to blame?
    Any help or additional troubleshooting tips are greatly appreciated.

    This is the best, and only, way to format an external hard drive, which is courtesy of Kappy.
    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 will take 30 minutes to an hour or more 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.
