Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i on Sun Solaris 8

Hey,
Help needed on installation of Oracle 9i EE on Sun Solaris 8. The problem I met was: we followed the installation guide from the documentation. And we selected the choice "install software only". After it was done successfully, we run Database Configuration Assistant utility to create a database instance. But finally it always tried to create the instance at the root directory ( / ) which doesn't have enough space and then failed. The case was that we have set the enviroment parameters: $ORACLE_BASE = /export/mydata, $ORACLE_HOME = /export/apps/oracle9i. That means it should be installed at /export/mydata, but it didn't. Any help or advice are welcome. Thanks.

I have downloaded Oracle 11G R2 version from Windows and extracted it in Windows and copied it into DVD after extraction in two folders. Now I am mounting that DVD in Solaris 10 installed in my VMware . I made a new directory named as 'installation ' under /export/home/oracle and copied the folders from DVD to 'installation' folder. Now I am entering installation folder and try to do ./runInstaller as 'oracle ' user and getting the error mentioned before.

Need to get a bootable external E-SATA HDD connected via E-SATA ExpressCard adaptor

We need to get a bootable external E-SATA HDD connected via E-SATA ExpressCard adaptor to this laptop however there are 2 main question before we purchase those hardware:
1 - will it be bootable at all?
2 - what speed is going to be provided by the ExpressCard slot on this laptop - is it comparable with E-SATA standard?
I'm purchasing the card here http://www.ebay.com/itm/add-2-eSATA-Hard-Disk-ports-for-Laptop-Notebook-PC-fits-34mm-Expresscard-slo... but still can't understand is it compatible and what speed will I get on the slot of my laptop - taking into account your official specification:
" 1 ExpressCard/54 Slot (also supports ExpressCard/34)"
Could you please advise us on the above?

wiki explains that "...The ExpressCard has a maximum throughput of 2.5 Gbit/s through PCI Express and 480 Mbit/s through USB 2.0 dedicated for each slot, while all CardBus devices connected to a computer share a total 1.06 Gbit/s bandwidth." - but:
how can I know whichever bus (PCIExpress or USB) is used in my laptop for this interface?

Tecra M2: Can I Boot from External USB/Firewire-HDD ???

Hi All,
how can I boot from an external USB Drive ?
The Bios 1.20, 03/15/2004 doesn't seem to support this on my Tecra M2.
I have an Maxtor 300Gig external HDD which can be connected via Firewire or USB. Usually I am using an Firewire PCMCIA-Card to connect this HDD, which has 3 partitions on it.
Would it also be possible, to Boot via PCMCIA-Firewire ?
Many thanks in advance.
Lembong

Hi
As far as I know its not possible to boot from a USB HDD. I know that in some cases its possible to boot from compatible USB FDD and CD/DVD drives but note from HDD.
This theme was disused a lot of time here in the forum.

T430 external usb 3 hdd

Hello, i have two T430 and on one of them i completly reinstalled windows 8 and now when i connect usb 3 hdd to usb 3 port, system doesn't react on it. If i plug it to usb 2 port it works fine. And it works fine on usb 3 port on another T430 with preinstalled by seller win 8 and drivers.

Did you do a factory reset, from the recovery partition using recovery media or did you (re)install your own copy of Windows? Not sure if it's relevant for Windows8, but did you install USB3 drivers? I know that for Windows7 you need to install a separate set of drivers for USB3 to work. Also, you could check your BIOS and see whether USB3 mode is enabled.
T530: i7-3630QM, 4 GB DDR3-1600, NVS 5400M, 2x 500GB 7200RPM, 9-cell, HD+ 1600x900, Backlit US, WinXP Pro
L430: i3-2370M, 4 GB DDR3-1600, HD 3000, 320GB 7200RPM, 6-cell, HD 1366 x 768, Win7 Home Premium 64-bit

USB portable HDD connected to HH3

Hi, i have a GoFlex Portable HDD just wanted to know if its actually possible to have it constantly connected to the HH3 an access it via laptop when ever i want to, as ive just tried connected it now and its showing up on the HH3 settings page but not showing up on my laptop to access. It is powered by the USB aswel. Hope someone can help. I thought it would of been 'plug n play' without having to set anything else up unless my HDD isnt compatible

As I can't be bothered buying a full blown NAS, I have a 500GB external HDD (formatted to NTFS but FAT32 also works - tested to confirm) connected to the Homehub 3's USB port and it works fine. I solely use it for music though so as Keith has mentioned if you want to stream movies/TV shows (especially HD content) you might be better with a proper NAS as the USB connection and the processor on the Homehub might just not be able to cope with all that extra traffic
Also - if it isn't showing up when you try to map it on your laptop, switch it off for a minute then back on again and it should appear. I almost put the thing through the window trying to figure out what was going on and a simple reboot did the trick!

Please Help! - Cannot Access Or See External USB/Firewire Drive

Can anyone help or advise me as I’m really at a loss as how to fix a problem I have with my external hard drive and OX 10.4.6.
I had just completed a fresh install of OS X on my PowerPC iMac G5 using the “Erase & Install” feature.
Everything had gone extremely well, all my applications and settings had been re-set as I normally have them (I made backups) and was able to access my external hard disk, which is a Maxtor OneTouch USB/FireWire 250 GB model.
I then setup a second account for my brother, which I setup as a “Standard” account.
When I then went to access some of the files on my external disk and tried to copy them over to my Desktop, it refused me permission and said that I had to ask the permission of the “Owner’ which it said was Steve (my Brother) which was strange because as I said his account was only setup as a standard account whereas I had an administrator account (and am the main user of the computer).
I went into the Steve's account and looked at the Permissions information using the “Get Info” dialogue box. This showed that the owner was indeed Steve, so I changed it to my Name (Andrew) went back to my account, and found could no longer see the external disk at all.
Returning to Steve’s account I checked the permissions again, and asked it to ignore permissions.
But now I cannot see or access the disk at all in either account, it just does not show up on the desktop or in the Finder Sidebar.
The strange thing is I can see it in “Disk Utility” but when I ask it to either verify or Repair the Disk permissions, it reports that they are all or OK and “no repairs were necessary”.
I have tried connecting the disk with both types of connection - USB2 and the Firewire drive, and the results are exactly the same, the drive is not visible on the Desktop or the Finder Sidebar, but is visible to Disk Utility.
The disk is formatted as a ‘Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive
Can anyone please tell me how I can get my external disk to show on my computer again, as ALL my backup documents and programs are on the disk, and most of the data cannot be replaced.
Would doing a complete fresh install of the OS X operating system fix this as a last resort?
I hope someone can advise, as I really am desperate.
Thanks

Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
Thanks for all your help anyhow.

Help needed with the installing from a USB drive

Hi, My HD failed and will not boot on my A665-3DV. I was able to retrieve all the data from both the partitions to another computer. I copied the data from the HDDRecovery partition to the USB flash drive. How do I use that data to install to a new HD?
Please help. Thanks!

It's not really hidden. You can connect the hard drive to an external device like coolmax (Coolmax CD-350-COMBO USB to IDE/SATA Device Adapter) which plugs in to a USB port on any PC. You can view the contents in explorer just as any other external HD.
Of course it took me a while to make the HD work (I beat the S**T out of it on the sides every time it didn't work). It took me a few days to get all the content out of it. It still would not work if I plugged it back into the laptop.
I made my flash drive bootable (http://www.ehow.com/how_5215265_make-bootable-flash-drive.html)
Copied the contents of the HDDRecovery partition to the flash drive and I was good to go.
Hope that helps!!

Help needed - software installation on Nokia N8

I've got a Nokia N8 and wanted to get "weather maps". I already have the Nokia weather application, and the SPB Weather application as well. After looking around on the internet, I found some good information recommending "Weatherbug" for the N8. Info can be found here:
http://www.allaboutsymbian.com/reviews/item/12787_WeatherBug.php
http://store.ovi.com/content/81290
I tried to downloadn and install the program. I got a message that doing so might also require downloading other software that might be up to 12 megs or so. (I guessed this was QT, which I already have from my installation of Nokia Bubbles.)
I downloade the sofware, and got a message that I then had to get the first of two downloads. After the download, the installation failed, and I got a message that I should click on an icon for something like "smart install" to continue.
Clicking on "Smart Installer ADM" gets me to "Continuing Installation Weather Bug".
I need to connect to the internetI so I click on "connect this time".
Eventually my phone downloads the first of two software downloads, and then the installation fails.
Any advice on a better way to install this program?
Do I have to first update "QT" or something?
Is there any way to get more useful error messages, so I have some idea of what is going on?
Is there a better place to download Weathrbug from ratherr than the OVI store?
Anybody have any idea why there are three things to download to get this one program?

Hei!
I had big problems installing the new "WRC-live" app from Ovi Store
and also tought it has something to do with the "Qt"-issue. I am not
any kind of tech person, I don't know how the "Qt" works, but I remember
I tried to download the new CNN-app from Nokia Beta Labs few weeks
ago (with no success). Was it the reason to my problems, I don't know for sure.
Using the NSD's search option I found @aspergerguy's excellent post and link
to this post of @carman58.
I downloaded the qt 4.7.3 from the link above using my N8's own browser via 3.5g
connection (it took some time), installed all the three apps and Vòila!
Now downloading "wrc-live" went well and app is runnig smoothly!
Kudos for @aspergerguy and @carman58! Thank You!
