Fresh Install of Win XP Pro SATA Driver's don't work

Hello
I apologise first of all if this is posted in the wrong forum but as this is the motherboard I am using here goes: ( System configuration is in signature)
I recently purchased a Seagate SATA HDD 160gb and fitted to the VIA 8237 chipset Sata_1 connection. Then the problems begin...
SATA is enabled in the BIOS onchip (not the Promise controller)
Press F6 during installation of Win XP Pro and install VIA 8237 SATA RAID driver - from USB external floppy drive - for Win XP and continue installation. After Formatting the hard drive the installation now asks for me to insert the diskette again and press enter 'Please insert the VIA Combo RAID Driver Diskette', and I do so and press enter...nothing happens!!! I have tried using the disk provided with the board and have also made a disk from the drives at the MSI website, both to no avail.
I have also tried this process with the Promise controller i.e. attaching the drive to the Ser_3 connection and installing the drivers from the floppy during XP install and yet again I am requested to insert the floppy labelled Promise 579/518 Controller, and again when I do nothing happens.
I would appreciate any help you could give as I now have no PC to use and want to get this sorted asap.
Thanks

I have always left the floppy in the drive from boot, only trying otherwise when it kept failing. However could it be to do with the fact this is an external Floppy drive connected by USB that it wont take it? I notice there is not any activity from the floppy drive, no matter whether I take the disk out and re-insert or just leave it there.

After Snow Leopard Install on Intel MacBook Pro, my number keys don't work

I installed Snow Leopard recently and have since been unable to use my number keys on my Intel based MacBook Pro. I waited for the 6.1 release, hoping it would fix the bug, but it did not. I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, tried num-lock, but have yet to fix it. I am also unable to use the keys shift functions, like the @ symbol.
Any help would be great!

Bring to an Apple store or AASP.

I purchased my MacBook Pro in August 2013. Am I suppose to have Pages, Numbers, and Keynote already installed on my MacBook Pro? Because I don't have them.

You may have to purchase them as Apple did not offer them with new Macs until after October 2013. Check the App Store. Whether free or fee, many are discovering that Pages v5 and later is the antithesis of word processing functionality. You would be better served with Office for Mac 2011 update 14.4.5, or the free LibreOffice.

After update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.

hello,
after update to OS X 10.7.5 on my Mac Pro (2009) USB ports don't work at all after wake up from sleep mode; with 10.7.4 there was (nearly) any problem.
the used ports appear to be "killed"; the unused USB ports seem to work, but the Mac works in slow-motion.
The only "solution" is to restart my Mac.
- SMC-reset, PRAM-reset or repairing user rights had no positive effect; what is the solution - a bug-fix-update???

I have a mac mini (A1283) with OS 10.7.4. Upon upgrading to 10.7.5 it did not start up again. Instead, the light was on and the hard drive did not start up. The light on the connected USB mouse was not lit.
My solution:
Cold start with Command-v pressed.
This should start Verbose mode (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492 ).
What happened on my mac mini was that the grey startup screen with the Apple logo appeared for a long while before the login screen came.
Maybe Cmd-v set open firmware params and fixed some corruption.
Anyway: my mac mini works again.

In Logic Pro or Pro X Meta Events don't work correctly; for example inserting Stop Playback number 52 in a specific position the playhead stops wrongly several ticks before. Then the button play does not start.

Curious if what your describing is similar to issue 4 which starts around 9:15 in video...

If so this started for me, or at least I noticed it for the first time in LPX 10.1.1. What version of logic are you running?
I've recently found that this issue also affects note timing on instrument tracks that use the "External Instrument" plugin.

Why is Mavericks running so slowly after a fresh install on my Macbook Pro?

I have a 13-inch, Early 2011 Macbook Pro.
Towards the end of 2013 Mountain Lion had been running very sluggishly, and I was getting the spinning beachball of death all the time, so I decided to do a fresh install of Mavericks. I wiped my whole HD using disk utility and installed Mavericks from a flash drive.
I then installed Microsoft Office 2011 from the original DVD and set up Mac Mail to work with my Gmail account etc. All very standard. I also installed X-Code and various other things related to my work, but nothing crazy. My HD is only half-full (I have 141 GB of free space).
Despite this, everything is running really sluggishly (especially when MS Office programs are open) and I have to watch the beachball of death spin for about 10 seconds every minute.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec sh
and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There wiil be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.

Fresh install of Lion & migration from internal drive

Hello,
I recently did a fresh install of Lion 10.7.1 from a bootable DMG of Lion 10.7.1 I downloaded from the app store. Before I installed Lion I used disk utility from the installer to format my system drive in order to get a fresh install.
The installation went fine and I am now booted into 10.7.1.
I am trying to use Migration Assistant to migrate files over from a Time Machine backup that is on a separate internal hard drive in my Mac Pro. Unfortunatley MA does not recognize the drive as a source. The hard drive is visible to me in Finder, yet when I dig deep into the structure some of the folders are not accessible to me since I do not have read/write permission. I had to enable the permission for the drive initially but that does not cascade to the entire contents of the drive. I enabled root access in attempt to get around this didn't work.
Is my problem one of permissions or what else?
Thanks!

Me, and I hope others, clone your system first! keep your drive you have even, as is, you may want or need 10.6.8 still. Format a new drive for Lion instead.
As for what TimeMachine holds and why Setup Assistant on first boot wouldn't import anything.... sorry.

Satellite L655 - Sound not working on fresh install of Windows 7 Pro x64

Howdy all,
I purchased an L655-S5111 from Newegg that was on sale, put an SSD into it, and then installed a legitimate copy of Windows 7 Professional 64-bit I received from my current employer (I'm an IT guy). I've updated to the latest BIOS revision (1.70), and I've got all Windows updates installed, all drivers installed, including the correct Conexant HD Audio and ATI HDMI Audio drivers. Unfortunately, sound does not work. Sound worked briefly when I first installed Windows 7, then I muted it until I could get it set up with headphones. When I unmuted it, it had ceased to work.
This laptop is less than 3 weeks old at this point, and I get no audio over headphones or speakers, although Windows clearly shows no issues with the drivers, they're the latest version, on a fresh install, and I can see the audio in the mixer playing. The microphone built-in to the laptop does pick up sound as well. I believe that this is most likely not an issue of physical interconnection, but more likely a software level issue, I'm just having trouble identifying where it is at.
I also have no related error messages anywhere in the event logs.

I have two problems with installing the recovery image:
1) I didn't get a copy of the recovery media with the system
2) The recovery media would install Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit which is what came with the laptop.
Since I have legitimately licensed copies of Windows 7 Pro/Enterprise 64-bit, I would much rather install that. Since I used the drivers and software from the Toshiba website for this particular model, it should be working. There should be no functional difference between the recovery media and a fresh Windows install from the Microsoft-provided Windows media and Toshiba provided drivers from their website.
As you can see in the sysinfo (I'm assuming Keany the respondent is the admin that approved my post and edited it, thus had access to the data which was removed) I have all the Toshiba software and drivers installed, identically to if this was the recovery image, I just have it on a different edition of Windows 7.
I'm open to any other suggestions, but unfortunately it is not possible to do the above.

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer working

After upgrading from Win 8 to 8.1 my DVD RAM GT80N SATA Drive is no longer recognizing discs. When I first put a disc in the drive runs for a bit and then stops. I've tried updating the driver but it says it has the most current driver. Under manage, it does not show any error codes and it says it is working correctly. I've looked at the regedit and it does not have any of upper and lower filters. I've tried disabling, rebooting, and reenabling. What am I missing? Another issue I've had since upgrading is that my network adapter needs reset several times a day in order to remain connected to wifi.

Hey hvbnfrgvn,
Thank you for the information on your HP Pavilion g7-2270us Notebook PC.
I suggest following the steps in this document for Drive Cannot Read Discs (Windows 8).
If your CD/DVD Drive Is Not Detected (Windows 8), follow the steps in this document.
I hope this information helps, please keep me posted on how it goes.
Best of luck and have a great day!

10g shared install on Win XP Pro

Hi,
I would like to make my 10g DB env (DB & Software) available to all users having an Win account on this computer (i.e., local sharing; no network access).
How to do so on Win XP Pro ?
I tried to install in "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" but the OUI does not want blank spaces in pathnames ? I tried using double-quoting but it rejects it too ? How to solve this ?
Thanks in advance.

I found this other post (Thread: New install 10G on XP professional) with the same problem.
Using Firefox instead of IE solved the problem.
I tried changing the security settings and pop up blocker settings but still could not get IE to work. If anyone knows what to change on IE to get it to work I'm curious. Other than wasting 3 hours of my life I'm good.
Thanks.

Beats Audio fn-b button not working after fresh install of Win 8.1

I have read here on this being a issue. I have tried about 4 things with no success so I am posting this!
I have the HP Envy beats Edition 14- 2166se Laptop running fully updated Win 8.1 and using The audio driver sp63555.
Everything works including the beats audio program just can not get the fn - b button combo to active or deactive the beats audio function controler. Any help would be great!!!
This question was solved.

Hi,
In that case, try the following.
Open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'HP System Event Utility' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load for a few minutes.
Then download and install the version HP QuickLaunch Software on the following link.
http://h30642.www3.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp56501-57000/sp56929.exe
When this installation has completed, restart the notebook again and let Windows fully load before checking the fn+b combination.

J2EE Install Problems - Win XP Pro

I have been trying to install J2EE 1.4 on my Win XP Pro machine. Each time the installing hangs on the "Selection Installation Directory" screen. I have tried to install to a different location (d:\usr\bin\Sun\AppServer) as well as just accept the default.
The symptom is that you click "next" and the bottom row buttons stop interacting - the browse button still works as does the close button (allows me to close the installer nicely).
I have looked in my %TEMP% directory and have found no log errors and don't see any other location where log files are stored or Java errors are being raised.
I have tried this with the bundled installer as well as the individual AppServer installer - both have the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated - I could not find a similar issue searching the forums or through google.
Jeff

This sounds like productregistry deadlock problem and you should be able to resolve it using the procedure described in this article:

Any recommendations on how to do a clean install of Win 7 Pro OA?

Hey Guys, I just got my new x201 and I'm looking to do a clean install of windows 7 pro (oa)
any ideas on how to do it without using the rescue and recovery? im trying to avoid all the factory programs being installed, so i dont want to use the rescue and recovery option. my main concern is activation, but im also wondering what CD/DVD i would use to install the OEM/OA version since it didnt come with any media. does lenovo provide this if i need? i can already see performance decrease in some applications, and in just general use of the computer. any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
i was also wondering if it would be a big deal if i got an SSD for this laptop, would thre be any activation issues with the OEM/OA version?
thanks in advance
nick

Another note Rescue and Recovery can create OS only disks instead of just factory reset and can also create as is which copies exactly how the PC is now. Not sure why no one on this forum knows that or atleast does not tell anyone. weird. Those options are under the create disks tab. Great for like what your needing to do. Install all the programs and make the as is disk to put on all 99 other PCs. Cheers! EDIT note: Nevermind my useless info posted above. I just confused R&R with OKR AGAIN. Does someone know how to use R&R that could post info. Can R&R create disks of the system as is like OKR can?

Fresh install of WIN XP on X201: Strategy: Which Drivers? In what order?

I am doing a fresh install of Windows XP SP3 (32 bits) from an Windows installation CD. As we know, after Windows CD completes the initial installation, a bunch of unknown devices shows up in Device Manager. So I need to install drivers for them. And I only want to install nessesary drivers and as little of additional ThinPad Software as possible.
So I go to ThinkPad Download Drivers & Software and there are WinXP drivers for my model (5143-28U). Some drivers are uniqe and are pretty obvoius to identify, for example, "Intel Chipset" or "Rapid Storage". But others are confusing, sometimes there 2 or even 3 similarly looking drivers. For example:
(1)ThinkPad 11b/g/n Wireless LAN Mini-PCI Express Adapter II for Windows XP, 10.95 MB, Ver:1.00.0029.8    released 14Sep2011.
(2)Intel Wireless LAN (11abgn, abg, bg) 242.48 MB   Ver:14.02.0000   released 08Sep2011
Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
Or another example:
(1) Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate Software II for Windows XP - ThinkPad.
(2) Bluetooth Support File for Bluetooth 2.1 with Enhanced Data Rate Software for Windows XP.
Which of the two to install? If both, then which is the first? ......????   ......??? Etc, etc, etc
By the way, after I have intalled one of the two Bluetooth drivers, my Windows craches during the startup up with BOD (Blue screen). What if anything should be done to properly install Bluetooth drivers?
Finally, is there a specific list of drivers only (and not just additional Lenovo software and Tools) to get rid of unknown devices with yellow question marks in Device Manager?
Thanks.
