Help needed - boot disk - SATA support?

I've been trying to flash my bios with the latest patch for the 865PE Neo2 FISR
However when i boot from the floppy into dos i don't have access to my hard drive to run the flash program. I'm assuming that this is due to the fact that i'm running 2 SATA HDD's in RAID 0 format. If this is correct are there specific boot disk images that have support for RAID?
Thanks in advance.
Dave

With NTFS file system, you need to make a Win98 boot disk. Go to
http://www.bootdisk.com/
and get a Win98 or WinME OEM boot disk.
Copy your flash program and bios image to a second disk.
Boot from the Win98 floppy. This will create a ram drive c:
Change to that drive by typing
C:
Then put in your bios floppy and copy all the files to the c drive:
copy a:*.*
Then flash

Re: Portege M200: Need boot disk to boot Win XP

Hi all
I'm looking for a floppy boot disk to boot XP tablet edition 2005 on my Portege M200,
If anyone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

Hi
You need boot disk??
I wonder why you need such disk?
I think you dont know one fact. The boot disk in not needed but you need an compatible CD/DVD drive if you want to boot from the CD or DVD.
The Portege M200 supports the Recovery via BIOS (pressing "C") with USB 2.0 and PCMCIA cards (16bit and Cardbus).
_Following drives and Controllers (USB, PCMCIA) can be used:_
a) Toshiba, PA3352E-SCD2, USB2.0 CD-RW/DVD-Rom Drive
b) Toshiba, PA3402E-1DV2 USB2.0 DVD Super Multi Drive, SN: 5362870112
c) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with a PC Card (16bit), Cable II, PCMCIA, Rev.043.242, SN: 18496 043 3999 0343 01093
d) Toshiba, PX1055E-1NST SN: 3431490096 with a CardBus, Cable II, CARD BUS, Rev.136, SN: 16693 136 3999 0149 06122
The setting of "PC Card Controller Mode" in the BIOS should be "Auto-Selected".
This means, that you have nothing to change in the BIOS, because it is the default value.

Compaq Presario C700 needs boot disk

Just replaced the hard drive in a Presario C700 and do not have a boot disk for it. How/where can I get one?

Hi
Easiest way is to contact HP in your local region and explain to the agent you need recovery media for your model machine , there will be a cost involved for the recovery media HP will supply . Once you receive the recovery media then change the BIOS setup to boot from CD/DVD and then the machine will boot from the disks and re-install Windows and drivers for your product .
Hope This Helps

Urgent Help Needed - Frozen disk drive & mouse

This is quite a complicated situation, but i will put it simply:
I woke my mac from its sleep, and went to connect to the internet(wanadoo broadband. It wouldnt do it and went from saying 'connecting....connecting...'on the finder bar in the right hand corner(next to where the time is)and said 'disconnecting...' over and over. This usually last a few seconds but 5 minutes later it was still doing it, so i went to restart the mac.
When it was restarting, it went to the login page, and it never does this, so i went to use the mouse to click on it, but it wouldnt move from the top left corner of the screen. So, i used the keyboard to select it and logged in. Once it had got into the finder the mouse still wouldnt move. The time kept coming on and then disappearing again over and over.
I have tried opening Norton Disk doctor but i can select any options because the mouse wont work and a live update comes up before it opens and i cant select the option of not to use it. I have tried several things, i restarted using the on/of button and no change, i have unplugged all the usb devices but nothing has changed.The disk drive wont open either when i click on the eject key. So i cant reboot from a disc because
1)disk drive wont open
2)I cant click on the apple in the top left corner to go to the restart option and then hold down any keys.
The only reason i am on the net is cos i have used my flat mates pc to hook up on the net so i can get some advice, the apple helpline wont help me as i no longer have apple care plan, and i dont want to go out and travel to a different city to get hold of a new mouse, if it isnt the initial problem.
I really need help because i have work to do and deadlines to meet and even though i have the work backed up on an external hardrive, i cant access it because what i am using is a pc and my work is formatted for a mac. I also didnt get round to backing up all my music from itunes, so i really hope it doesnt come to formatting my hardrive because i dont want to lose all my files.
Can anyone help me please? Im desperate

StreeX,
If you have time, search the Discussions for "Disk Doctor Kervorkian". Symantec Systemworks / Norton Disk Doctor is widely and consistintly blamed for making things worse, sometimes irrepairablly so. (So be grateful you couldn't select it.)
You wisely unplugged other USB peripherals, but did you try unplugging and re-pluging the keyboard and mouse? Also try disconnecting your Ethernet (and phone line if any). The only peripherals should be the keyboard and mouse.
Does the mouse's red LED light up when the computer is on? Try both with the mouse plugged into the keyboard and with the mouse plugged directly into the Mac.
You can force the optical tray to open by holding down the mouse button while starting up. It's also possible to carefully (and gently!) pry the drawer and then the tray open with a fingernail of X-acto type knife blade.
You can force the Mac to restart unconditionally holding down command-control-eject (see Magical Macintosh Key Sequences)
Can you get the Mac to start up in Safe Mode?
With the optical tray open you can try booting from youe OS X Install disc to run Repair Disk to check for errors. An alternative is to boot to single-user mode and run the file system check utility. Refer to Using Disk Utility and fsck.

URGENT! Help Needed (H DISKS)

Dear Folks
PROBLEM: Suddenly, out of the blue without any changes, my computer has started doing this: It runs for 2 seconds then jamms for 10seconds, runs again for 2 seconds, then jamms again for 10 seconds. It doesnt matter what i do, even moving the mouse: it moves for 2 seconds then stops dead for 10 seconds, then moves 2 seconds, then stops for 10 etc etc
WHAT FIXES IT: As you will see frrom my sig, i have two identical SATA Maxtor 80GB Hard Drives connected via SATA. When i disconnect the slave drive (a drive which i only use to bakup large data) the problem fixes itself. I tried another Seagate drive (via IDE) and that doesnt seem to cause any problems. It only seems to occur with the two maxtors in SATA 1 & SATA2. But I have it connected this way for YEARS without ANY PROBLEMS. I dont know what is the problem.
Please help, i cant function without my seconds SATA drive it's got so much data on it i need!
Thanks
Best Wishes
Asmar

Dear Folks, heres the replies to your queries - some questiones too:
1) CPU TEMP is 48-49 Deg, SYSTEM TEMO is ~36 Deg
2) What is "event viewer" (sorry if thats a newbie question), where do i get access to it? I dont remember copying any new files from that drive or having any applications running from it. It simply is storage. I have two H Disks both connected via SATA to SATA1+SATA2 on the motherboard (next to the slots adjacent to the 'VIA' logo): The 1st one i run windows on and is partioned into three. The second disk (with which I am having the problem) is one single large partition I use for backing up data.
3) I dont have any 3rd HDD installed on IDE. Simply two S-ATA's as mentioned above.
4) I'll do some diagnostics on it - as mentioned below, i should use "SeaTools" yes? Or should i check on the maxtor website?
Thanks folks

Help needed Hard disk Problem

I am not very computer Savoy!. But every time I turn my laptop on it keeps freezing up on me and I get a massage that says I am having a Hard Disk Problem and that I should back up all my files before the computer crashes. And I would like to what I should do to fix this? I thought that I could reload my operating system but my computer did not come with that disk and I can't seem to find it here on this web site. Any idea's?

Without knowing specifically which model you have it's difficult to tell for sure, but most Toshiba's made in the past few years come with a Recovery Partition. You can invoke the Recovery Process by holding down the 0 (zero) key while turning the computer on and holding it down until the Recovery Process starts. You can also create a set of Recover Disks from the Recovery partiton by going to "Start - All Programs - Toshiba - Recovery - Recovery Disk Creator".
As for the error message about Hard Disk Problem, that could mean that the hard drive is starting to malfuncion and will soon stop functioning at all. You need to determince what brand of hard drive your's is, go to that companies support site, download their Diagnostic Program, install it, and run the most exhaustive test to determine if it is failing or not.
And please backup you important data as soon as humanly possible as there is a good chance you will lose it forever.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Help Needed - Remote Disk Access via MobileMe for AEBS

OK, I've done a lot of reading in this forum, but didn't find a resolution to my problem.
Here are my configuration:
1) ADSL Router(2Wire 2700HGV-2) in bridged mode
2) Airport Extreme Base Station (Simultaneous Dualband) with 7.4.1 firmware acting as the router using PPPOE
3) External USB disk formatted using Mac OS format attached to AEBS
Working:
1) Within the LAN, can access the disk without any problem
2) Over the WAN, Back to my Mac works fine for all my Mac computers
Not Working:
Over the WAN, I can see the AEBS in the shared section, however, upon clicking it, it always tells me that the connection failed after about 30 seconds, even when I try to use "connecting as".
Anyone has tried this feature and it worked? Really appreciate if you can help as I am going to be on trip soon and I wish to access the disk from Internet when I am over there.
Thank you!

Hi rekeno
Thanks for your post. I have the exact some problem. I'm sitting at work with my MacBook. At home there's my Airport Extreme and a Mac Pro.
I can see both in my "Shared" section AND they also have different IPv6 tunnel addresses:
[15:07 root@pm1] ping6 macpro.XXX.members.mac.com
PING6(56=4088 bytes) fd22:3569:a8da:4c12:217:f2ff:fed4:6de0 --> fd44:bbdd:fce3:3be9:21d:4fff:fe4b:b80
16 bytes from fd44:bbdd:fce3:3be9:21d:4fff:fe4b:b80, icmp_seq=0 hlim=64 time=54.748 ms
Works.
[15:14 root@pm1] ping6 airport.XXX.members.mac.com
PING6(56=4088 bytes) fd22:3569:a8da:4c12:217:f2ff:fed4:6de0 --> fdfe:d7a4:759a:a360:21b:63ff:fef5:30a2
^C
--- airport.XXX.members.mac.com ping6 statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss
This times out.
Interestingly I can use Screen Sharing to my MacPro and do the same:
[15:17 mau@macpro] ping6 airport.XXX.members.mac.com
PING6(56=4088 bytes) fd44:bbdd:fce3:3be9:21d:4fff:fe4b:b80 --> fdfe:d7a4:759a:a360:21b:63ff:fef5:30a2
16 bytes from fdfe:d7a4:759a:a360:21b:63ff:fef5:30a2, icmp_seq=2 hlim=64 time=0.721 ms
This works AND it uses the SAME IPv6 address.
I have also checked that my IPv6 tunnel configuration is allowed in the Airport Utility.
Do you see the same behaviour? Can you run the same commands?
Thanks a lot!

Help needed! about apple support

I just got an i pod video 30 gig as a birthday present. and i have no bill for it. if, by some misfortune something goes wrong with my i pod,will i be able to ship it to the US for a replacement if i register the product? i live in south africa but the pod was purchased by my parents at the singapore airport.

My ipod was purchased in the US when my brother was on holiday over there. I live in the UK and when it went wrong a month ago I went onto the apple support website, filled in a form, Apple sent me an empty box for which to send the ipod off in, a week later a new one came back. Simple and no hassle at all.
Basically you should be ok.

According to the Genius Bar, my HD is dying. I need help with such things as making a boot disk, making sure back up is complete, etc. I have a White early 2008 MacBook running 10.7.3. It is backed up regularly with Time Machine to an external drive.

I am not a real tech type person. MAcBook white early 2008 running 10.7.3. I know I will need a boot disk to restart the computer after I have installed the new drive. I have purchased a Hitachi 500 G, 7200 RPM to install. The computer is backed up regularly using Time Machine to an external hard drive. I nned to know all the steps I need to do before physically changing the hardware.

Do you have your original drive backed up? Is it still working? If so I'd buy an external enclosure and boot from that. Then format your new drive and use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your old drive to the new one.
If you don't have a backup, I'd buy an external drive, use carbon copy cloner to do a backup, then install the new drive and clone back to it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Try holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting to start into safe mode. Then, after starting in safe mode, open Finder, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /Library/StartupItems. Then, empty this folder and restart the Mac.
If your Mac starts after doing this, it was a problem with a third-party app that starts automatically when you turn on the computer. It won't start automatically anymore after doing that

T400 - Accidentaly formatted the disk 1 (IMD-0) partition in disk management - Help Needed

Hello,
Initially when I re-formatted my computer to get rid of the factory image, I found that there was a hidden partition of 1.37GB which I could not touch, meaning i could not delete. I ignored it at that time and formatted my computer and reinstalled vista business on it using the license i got from lenovo. Now after some days, I was kind of getting concerned as to what exactly was the 1.37Gb partition on my computer. I guess I was getting worried as to why I was not able to reclaim that space for normal use. Today, I tried to reclaim it, by deleting the volume, thinking it should merge into the unallocated space, that I have on my primary hard drive. But it did not. However, what happened was that this space of 1.37GB did start showing up on My Computer, once I formatted it using NTFS. I then checked its properties in My Computer and it had an option of readyboost. I selected the option which says use this disk for readyboost, and immediately in no time, the disk was full with on 68MB remaining as free space. It also has an icon of readyboost in the drive, when I double-click it. This is when I figured that this space could be on a separate physical disk. I did some research and found out that this drive or device or chip, is listed as Disk-1 in disk management and as IMD-0 under Disk Drives in Device Manager. I googled about it, and found that it was related to the turbo memory. Now, I believe that turbo memory would be a separate flash chip, which would be hardwired to function in a particular way (enabling boosting speeds), and that it would be non-accessible to users from within windows for formatting or doing anything else. Hence, I also believe that the space which I reclaimed, is existing on my primary 320GB hard drive and is used in addition to the turbo memory, as a cache, to boost speeds. However, since I do not understand the turbo memory concept very well, I would really appreciate if someone could explain how the turbo memory works, i.e. including IMD-0 and all that. And the main help I need is on how to hide the 1.37GB partition again, and put it in a format that it was earlier in, and usable for turbo memory. At present I do not know if it is being used by turbo memory or not, but below is the current status of the turbo memory:
1. In Device manager, under disk drives, IMD-0 shows up, and in properties it just says device type -- disk drive. Now I read somewhere that it should say NVCACHE, but it does not say that on my pc, under any tabs of the properties of IMD-0. Can someone help me putting it back there.
2. Under Disk Management, it says Local Disk H:, 1.37GB NTFS, Healthy (Active, Primary Partition). I don't exactly remember, but I guess prior to me formatting it, it said unallocated. Help needed here too.
3. In the Turbo memory controller, it says Windows readyboot enabled, Windows Readydrive enabled, 2GB
and below that I have checkboxes for enabling windows readyboost and readydrive checked.
So guys, can please anyone help me in re-hiding the 1.37GB partition and making it in the state it was before.
Thanks a lot for your help.

Help creating a boot disk for ailing powerbook (and journalist!)

Hello, I'm a journalist with a desperate need to recover my Mac.
My Powerbook G4 (operating 10.4.8 I believe) was working fine until I did the latest suggested Mac software upgrade of Safari. Immediately Safari stopped responding hanging up or quitting. So I tried the next recommended update, thinking perhaps the two went together: Security 2008-009 I believe. It required a restart, which I did. (Note: I didn't do the recommended Java or Quicktime update at the same time because I'm currently working in Sierra Leone with terribly slow internet and figured I'd get to it later).
Now, however, the computer won't boot up. I hear the tone, I get the gray screen with the apple, I get the blue screen, I get the opening OS X screen and the blue progress bar, which then quits early on. Then I get a blue screen of alternating hues, which continues infinitely.
I tried all the Apple and web-suggested fixes. I cannot enter safe mode and can only perform functions with the single user mode. I've tried fsck and it said my HD is fine. The problem, I suspect, would be easy enough to fix if I could just reinstall OS X with my CD. However I am currently 7000 miles from home and CD, and in desperate need of my laptop in order to continue my volunteer work.
I do have access to a friend's MacBook Pro 10.4.9 and the internet. I have downloaded Carbon Copy Cloner... however I don't know which files I need to copy in order to create a boot disk. Nor do I know how to create a boot disk to actually put into my computer. I have also been scared by the CCC literature that says I need to erase the target volume... which in this case is my external hard drive containing all of our video footage from the last 8 months!
I use my computer every day, however I am a newbie at using things like Terminal and higher order functions that these occasions seem to require. CCC's Help manual, for me, might as well have been written in hieroglyphs (which, come to think of it, would have been easier as I seem to understand pictures well enough).
I would be eternally grateful for any simple or step-by-step advice which might help me get back to work. I'm training African journalists, and without my computer to edit, we cannot do a thing!
Thanks,
Kim

Here's some trouble shooting methods that I've copied from Apple KB articles:
Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time. Release the keys.
If zapping the PRAM doesn't work, try resetting the PMU.
Warning: Resetting the power manager also resets date and time settings. Performing a PMU reset returns the iBook and PowerBook hardware, including NVRAM, to default settings and forces the computer to shut down.
PowerBook G4 (DVI) and PowerBook G4 (1 GHz/867 MHz)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Disengage the two keyboard latches located between the Esc and F1 keys, and the F11 and
F12 keys. (You may also need to disengage the keyboard locking screw located between the
F5 and F6 keys.)
Lift the keyboard. To ensure no harmful static electricity is transferred to the computer,
properly ground yourself before performing this procedure.
Press and release the reset button located on the upper right side of the logic board near the power button, shown here. Wait 5 seconds.
Press the power button to restart the computer.
PowerBook G4 and PowerBook G4 (Gigabit Ethernet)
If the computer is on, turn it off.
Press and release the reset button located on the rear panel of the computer between the
external video and modem ports. Wait 5 seconds.
Press the Power button to restart the computer.
HTH!

Do I need to change boot disk partition types - if so how?

I set my boot disk up with several partitions, one of which is the Apple_UFS partition type. I now want to be able to use if for Mac data files - pdfs, word docs, etc. (I'm running 10.4.11 on a powerpc - when I can afford an Intel macbook, I'll upgrade to Leopard).
I have some questions:
1) Will puttting Mac files on a Apple_UFS volume cause problems (rsource & data forks in files)? (If its OK, then skip to Q6 &Q7 which I'd like to know for future reference).
2) Should I change the partition type (to Apple_HFSX)? There's no data on it now, so that's not a problem.
3) Disk Utility won't let me change partition type, only change the name. Diskutil has the command " eraseVolume format name device", but I suspect that format is the current format, not a new format - please correct me if I'm wrong.
4) pdisk interactive mode has the "t" command which looks like what I want.
5) after the partition type is changed, I presume I then need to use newfs_hfs -
6) I am confused about the device/partition name - "diskutil -l" shows "/dev/disk0" with the partition I want to change as "disk0s11". "pdisk - l" shows "/dev/rdisk0" and the partition number as 11. The "newfs_hfs -h" gives an example of "newfs_hfs -v Untitled /dev/rdisk0s7". So in my case, is my device "/dev/rdisk0s11"??
7) I have an external firewire drive that also is partitioned. "pdisk -l" and "diskutil list" give different outputs - partitions 1-9 are the same on both (Apple stuff), but pdisk show several "Apple_Free" partitions that diskutil ignores - pdisk has 23 total partitions, hdutil has 18. So which number do you use for the disk-identifier?
Thanks for any help on this confusing matter.

The regular versions of PSE 10 have the same kind of automatic updating (just go to Help>Updates and let the updater do its thing) that full Photoshop has. You can update the raw converter in the app store version, but since apple requires that everything in app store programs has to live within the app package itself, the file paths are different, so unless adobe updates the whole program so you can update through the app store, the adobe updater doesn't know what to do. You can do it manually, but it's kind of complicated to dig everything out of the adobe update, not as simple as it was in older versions of PSE.
This thread over at the adobe forum gives you the general process for updating the app store version:

I need a Windows XP Boot Disk CD

Hello,
I have a Satellite L35-S2151 Laptop and it will not load windows all the way as I get a blue screen "Unmountable Boot Volume". I looked up the error message on Microsoft's website and I need to have a Windows XP CD to start up my machine. My computer did not come with a Windows CD when I purchased it from Best Buy. How can I order a Windows XP Reboot CD with Toshiba? I do not want to restore my computer to factory settings, I just want a reboot CD. Please help.
Thanks,
Noa

Unfortunately, you can't order a Win xp boot disk CD from Toshiba. I had the same problem you have, unmountable boot volume, had no boot disc (thought the Toshiba recovery disc was a boot disc, but nooooo, it would reformat and erase all my files). I was advised to burn a CD boot disc from various online download areas, but didn't have a working computer to do it on, nor could I borrow anybody's so I was stuck. Microsoft only has floppies (6) that you can download for Win XP, but how many of us have floppy drives anymore? not me. It sucks that Microsoft doesn't keep boot discs around for sale for WinXP users, it's not like WinXP is some ancient OS geez. But unless you can burn your own boot CD (which isn't as easy as some people lead you to believe , I think sometimes it just doesn't work or is glitchy). I tried everything to get my system to boot, including buying a Knoppix LIVE CD which I ordered online for $3.99 from a software place. It didn't work either, but you could always try it for a cheap fix if it works for you.
I ended taking out my old hard drive after trying various things with no success, buying a new hard drive , buying a hard drive enclosure to put the old drive in so I could transfer the files I want to save over to the new drive. I'm stuck at that point so far. I hope you don't have to go all through that. But I was basically told the best hope is to somehow burn or have someone burn for you a Win XP boot disc CD. I presume by "disc" you mean CD and not floppy. If you are looking for floppy boot discs as I said, you can download them onto 6 discs from Microsoft. Good luck!
