G5 start disk error

My G5 has been acting a bit odd lately. it started with me noticing it was running slow. I realized I was filling up the hard drive so I purchased an external and removed about half of the material on the hard drive. THen I noticed it didn't matter if I was using Safari or Firefox but the computer would not download anything. I also tried to run a script and it refuses to run. I know it works b/c it runs on my powerbook just fine. I also have a problem with it just shutting down randomly and certain programs crashing.
I then ran a maintenance check and it said I had an error on the start up disk.
I ran disk 1 and the repair disk and it said nothing was wrong. but I ran another maintenance it again showed an error.
Tonight I ran the apple hardware test and it said all was fine. but then I ran the apple cares Techtool deluxe CD. and at this time it looks like it's hung up.
the last section says:
Kernal version:
Darwin Kernal Version 8.0.0: Sat Mar 26 14:15:22 PST 2005;root:xnu-792.obj~1/RELEASE_PPC
panic: We are hanging here...
the fan is running at warp speed and I'm quite clueless as to what needs to happen.

Hi Meriam,
I'm not exactly sure what I mean by bad file, and I didn't write down the exact error message. But the click and drag was copying something like 500 files. Rather then complete, it ended with an error message along the lines of "encountered a bad file and quit". I was seeking some kind of click/drag or file copy option that would copy all sorts of files but if it encountered a bad file, would just skip it and continue on with the rest.
Thanks again in advance. You are a prize for helping so!
Yours,
Marc

Thanks for the reply.
Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
Best wishes
Thanks.

Hard Disk error on start up

Hi,
I have a hard disk error on start up of my HP Pavilion Dv7-5003tx. When I run Hard disk test it fails, error code 0G8421-50N63H-0G8421-60DC03.
How do I resolve this?
Regards
John.

Hi John,
The error will either be a Smart or Disk Self Test failure - both would indicate that your Hard Drive is failing and will need to be replaced.
If your notebook is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange to have the drive replaced - you can check your warranty status Here.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
If you are out of warranty and would like a guide on replacing the Hard Drive yourself, please let me know.
Regards,
DP-K

There are 2 ways of running a test on your hard drive . One way is through BIOS (F10) and other is through HP System diagnostics(F2). How exactly was test initiated from your end ?
The SMART imminent failure for Hard drive is an indication that your Hard drive is on verge of failure or might fail anytime depending on usage. I would recommend you to backup your files immediately because your hard drive might die at any moment and I'm pretty sure its needs to be replaced.
Kindly check the instructions over here in order to run the test for your hard drive

"No Disk" Error (premiere elements 11)

I have successfully installed Adobe Premiere Elements 11 on my PC:
     Dell XPS 8300
     Intel Core i7-2600 Quad Core (3.4 GHz, 8MB Cache)
     • 1GB Radeon HD 6450 Graphics
     • 16GB DDR3 1333 RAM
     • 1TB 7,200RPM Hard Drive (2 x 500GB RAID 0)
     • Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
When I open the application and click "New Project" I get the following error message:
AdobePremiereElements.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive
     \Devices\harddisk2\DR3
I can "cancel", "try again", or "continue". The only thing that works is to hit "cancel" (several times). Premiere Elements will then open, but the error message will keep recurring.   Adobe Support (Chat) has not been much help.
Anyone else come across this? This seems to be a common error in earlier versions (version 9), but I can't seem to find any good solution to it.   HELP!!!!
UPDATE:   Just as an FYI..while it's possible (but doubtful) there is preloaded software interfering, there is no other software (or viruses) installed on this computer.

No disk error in Premiere Elements 12 - Smartsound plug-in?

I have a fresh install of Premiere Elements 12 (with 12.1 update) on a new computer and receive the error "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E:" whenever the program is opened or closed. I can bypass this message by repeatedly clicking "cancel". Windows application logs in event viewer lists a corresponding error message "Activation context generation failed for C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Plug-ins\Common\SmartSoundAdobePlugin64.prm". I confirmed that this file does not exist.
A forum search indicates that installing Smartsound resolves this no-disk error for PrE 11 and earlier but that Smartsound is no longer a feature in PrE 12:
Re: No Disk Error for Adobe Premiere Elements 12
But another other user reported that the no-disk problem went away in PrE 12 after installing Smartsound:
Re: "No Disk" Error (premiere elements 12)
And my event viewer error message indicates that PrE 12 is looking for a Smartsound plug-in which was not included in the installation. (PrE 12 was installed via Dell Digital Delivery and did not include an installation disk.)
So why is PrE 12 looking for a Smartsound plug-in if it is no longer a feature? Any suggestions for suppressing the no-disk error other than installing Smartsound? I'm just getting started in PrE and don't need it right now.
Thanks,
Greg

Thank you for the advice. I tried Han's suggestion of installing Smartsound SonicFire first since it was much quicker than completely reinstalling PrE (which entails many hours of re-downloading on a DSL line for the program & cloud content).
After installing Smartsound, the "SmartSoundAdobePlugin64.prm" file did appear in the C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Plug-ins\Common\ folder. However, it did not resolve the "No Disk" error or the application error logged in Event Viewer. The source of that error is listed as "SideBySide" and Event ID is 33. The full text of the message is as follows:
Activation context generation failed for "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Premiere Elements 12\Plug-ins\Common\SmartSoundAdobePlugin64.prm". Dependent Assembly Microsoft.VC90.MFC,processorArchitecture="amd64",publicKeyToken="1fc8b3b9a1e18e3b",type=" win32",version="9.0.21022.8" could not be found. Please use sxstrace.exe for detailed diagnosis.
I did a bit of research and this answer suggests that the error is the result of an incompatibility between the installed version of Microsoft Visual C++ and the version used by the program:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_programs/event-id-33-so urce-side-by-side/ef67e34f-07b2-4d52-a807-f9f81a7c32f8?auth=1
Based on this Microsoft article, it appears that the missing C++ 2008 version 9.0.201022.8 is an IA-64 version while the 9.0.30729.x versions on my machine are x64 versions:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/973552
This is all way over my head and I may leave well enough alone until I have more time to spare, given that the "no disk" error (which could even be entirely unrelated) is annoying but not crippling.
FWIW, the machine is a Dell XPS8700, Windows 8.1, 64-bit, and PrE was sold by Dell it, bundled with Photoshop Elements.

No Disk Error when opening JFileChooser

Hi all
After launching my app via JWS and opening my apps FileChooser I get a 'javaw.exe - No Disk' error message:
'There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:.'
This doesn't happen if I start the app without JWS. Although it happens only the first time after opening the FileChooser it's rather annoying for the user. I can't expect the user always having a disk in their drive.
Is there a way of switching the scan for drive A off?
Thanks for your help.
Stephan

See Top 25 Bugparade: # 4264750
This is a SecurityManager - Problem and the java.io.File.
eg.:
System.setSecurityManager(new RMISecurityManager());
File[] roots = File.listRoots();
Then you will see the problem...
I tried the following workaround:
before you access disk. (or JFileChooser)
SecurityManager sm = System.getSecurityManger();
System.setSecurityManager(null);
// disable the SecurityManger
// this special disk access needs no SecurityManager..
... popup JFileChosser or make FileAccess..
System.setSecurityManager(sm);
// restore the old SecurityManger
It's not the best solution but it works..
hope this will help,

No Disk Error

When I try to start up iTunes I get a Windows - No Disk error. I cancel it three or four times and it goes away but iTunes will not boot up. Then it comes up with another message that says "The folder 'iTunes' cannot be found or created, and is required. The default location for this folder is inside the 'My Music' folder." Obviously it isn't there or it would work. I tried to look for it but the search came back with a whole butt load of files named 'iTunes'. I have removed the program and re-downloaded it and that didn't help. I don't know a lot about Computers but I know a little. Someone have mercy and help me. Thanks in advance.

This might help you...or at least help you better explain what's happening.
What are the iTunes library files?

Windows - no disk error

When I go to open my itunes program, i get this error message.
not all of my purchased songs are downloading onto my ipod either.
had to reset my ipod to original settings and like i said not all of my purchased songs downloaded.
thanks

I have a Windows Media Center PC from HP. It has a reader on it for different memory cards - HP calls it a 7-1. It reads SD cards, CompactFlash cards, etc. The four slots are assigned disks D through G. Normally I only use the SD slot. When I used the CompactFlash slot, it didn't work. And at the same time iTunes stopped working.
There is a Microsoft KB article on this problem. The resolution solved the No Disk error with iTunes.
Check out -
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;297694
I started the disk manager, then re-assigned the four disk letters to other letters. In my case I chose K,L,M,N. Quit the utility and start iTunes.
I'm still miffed at Apple. Theirs is the only software that got caught with this bug.

Windows-No Disk Error Mess

I get the following error message upon start-up or reboot for Audigy SE:?Windows-No Disk?c0000003 Parameters 75b6bf9c 4 75b6bf9c 75b6bf9c.... I have the option to Continue-Cancel-Retry??The sound card seems to work otherwise, but this error is annoying and I would like to resolve it. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the install CD as this is a new install, but the error persists. Can someone suggest a Fix-It?Thanx!?Lawrence

I have found the Windows No Disk error message to be caused by having a card reader installed in your system in some cases. If you change the dri've letters of the readers from i.e. F: and G: to for example O: and P: (as I did on my machine) the error message will stop. Worth a try.......worked for me. Hope you find this reply useful, unlike the previous wise a$$ replies.

Windows - No Disk Error - Please help!
Hi,
I have the following set up:
* Lenovo T-61p
* Windows XP Pro, SP 3
* HP Photosmart 8250 printer (with nothing plugged into the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer)
I am getting the following error:
Windows - No Disk
Exception Processing Message 0xc0000013 Parameters 0x75CE023C
0x84C40C84 0x75CE023C
I have done a lof experimenting and thru process of elimination, and believe I have determined that this only happens when the HP Photosmart 8250 printer is plugged in to the USB slot of the computer.
I can stop it from happening by safely removing hardware, and removing the drive that the 8250 creates on your computer when you plug it in. In my case, this is drive E. I'm guessing if there was something in the the various card readers, and USB slot in the printer, that's what those would be, but I don't those use those functions of the printer.
I understand there is more at work than simply the printer, because I did not used to get this error, so some software changed as well, that is scanning all ports, and finding a drive that has no disk, and producing the error.
A simple google search finds a lot people all over the world having this problem, and are solving it in different ways, because the suspected source is different: Norton, HP, etc.
I have tried everything I have read, and the only thing that works was my own idea, of manually safely removing the drive the printer creates each time I plug in the printer.
Anyone every any better, more permanent solutions? Or know what the real root of the problem is? What is scanning all the drives and being showing an error message because it found an empty drive?
Thanks and Happy Holidays/New Year!

I've been getting the same error on my 4G nano for the past week. I've had my nano for about a month and the first few weeks were fine. Tried it on 2 different computers (Vista and XP) and same problem. Tried it on a 3rd (XP) and it started ok. Problem started coming back after a day.
I was able to find a quick fix though. I noticed that sometimes the message says something like "iexplore.exe... no disk..." even if I don't even use IE. What I do is end iexplore.exe on task manager before running iTunes and syncing my nano. I don't get the error whenever I do this, but one drawback is that the contents of my nano suddenly pops up in a window - even when disk use is not enabled.
I've reset/restored my nano dozens and dozens of times to make sure it's clean. Leads me to believe it's a driver issue. Either that or I have a friggin malware problem I can't seem to find.
I'll be posting updates every now and then. I'm no expert so I'm hoping an Apple expert also steps in to give some input.
