Help With Drive Genius 3

Ok I Have Drive Genius 3 Drive Pulse always Enabled & it say's Physlcal Drive Check: An Issue was Dectected With This Volume, Please Check The Event Viewer for more information so I Did that & it say's Macintosh HD Critical in Red, Macintosh HD Contains 1 Bad Block. The Drive should be Backed Up and ereased (using zeros) as soon as possible. ? does this mean I Have to Erase my whole entire Hard Drive? I Hate doing that what should i do?

Okay, I have Drive Genius and I've heard that the Drive Pulse can show incorrect information, so, what's better is the following (you're on 10.7 - Lion - right?)
I want you to run Disk Utility verify disk, but, if you're on Lion, you will need to run the hidden included recovery assistant and use the Disk Utility on it.
So, try this: hit restart and hold Command + R keys and follow these steps:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
Once you're in the recovery partition, choose Disk Utility and repair your hard drive. If it comes back without any problems you're fine. If there are errors, but it can repair it, you're fine. If there are errors that can't be repaird, then simply reinstall your system from within the recovery assistant - it will automatically download your system again. Make sure you have a current backup before starting all of this just in case.

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a

I think I need help with driver (software) settings for D110a all-in-one
Product: D110a all-in-one
OS: Windows XP Professional
Error messages: None
Changes before problem appeared: None--new installation
The quality of photo images (mostly JPG files) in printouts is awful even though the files display beautifully on the PC screen. I am using
IrfanView software for displaying/printing. As far as I can tell, IrfanView is not the problem.
When I print the same images on a Deskjet 5150 attached to a different PC also running XP Pro and IrfanView, the quality of the printouts is at
least acceptable, Some would probably say good or very good.
It's dificult to explain in words the problem with the printouts. A picture of really pretty vegetables (squashes, tomatoes, watermelon, etc) comes
out much too red. Moreover, the red, which appears shaded on the screen, seems to be all one shade in the D110a printouts.
Something similar happens to a view of a huge tree in full leaf. On screen, there are subtle variations in the "greenness" of the leaves. In the
printout, all green is the same shade. In the same printout, the trunk of the tree is all a single shade of grey. It isn;t even obvious that the
trunk is a round, solid object.
I liken the effect to audio that disappears entirely when you lower the volume and gets clipped into square waves in even moderately loud passages.
I don't know whether the D110a driver software permits adjusting the parameters that appear to be set incorrectly, and if adjustments are possible,
how I would identify which parameters to adjust, how I would access them, or how I would adjust them. I'm hoping that someone can help. Thanks.
I forgot to mention that I have used the diagnostic application and it tells me that there are no problems.

Hi everyone,
I noticed the following message when network starts on my gateway
Warning: This functionality is deprecated.
Please refer to /etc/rc.conf on how to define a single wired
connection, or use a utility such as netcfg.
Then I realized the way network settings should be written in rc.conf has changed. But I can't figure out how this should be done.
Currently, my set up is the following (old way):
INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="eth1 192.168.0.10 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.0.255"
ROUTES=(!gateway)
eth0 is on DHCP because the IP is dynamically assigned my ISP.
eth1 has a fix IP because it's on the LAN side.
No problem to use DHCP on eth0 with the new settings.
But for eth1, I don't know what I am supposed to write for gateway.
Wiki isn't clear on that one either, and it looks like many articles still refer to the old way.
Any guidance appreciated, thanks.
brazzmonkey,
you can't define 2 interfaces the old way (even though I saw some tricky workaround somewhere in the forums).
Use, f.e., netcfg:
Comment your old lines.
In /etc/rc.conf insert:
NETWORKS=(Eth0-dhcp Eth1-static)
DAEMONS=(..... !network @net-profiles ....)
In /etc/network.d create 2 files:
First one is named Eth0-dhcp.
Contents:
CONNECTION="ethernet"
DESCRIPTION="Whatever text"
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME="your hostname"
IP="dhcp"
DHCP_TIMEOUT=15
Second one is named Eth1-static.
Contents:
CONNECTION='ethernet'
DESCRIPTION='whatver'
INTERFACE='eth1'
HOSTNAME='hname'
IP='static'
ADDR='192.168.0.10'
GATEWAY='192.168.0.1' # your gateway IP
DNS=('192.168.0.1') # your DNS server
The names Eth0-dhcp and Eth1-static are not magic. They just must be the same in rc.conf and in /etc/network.d.
Hope it helps.

PS: netcfg must be installed.

Conflicts with Drive Genius 3 and Mac Pro Tower?

I have been having problems with my MAC for about 7 months. Becomes unresponsive and I get HD disk errors when I run Disk Utility. The only way to repair is to use the Disk utility on my Snow Leopard Install disk. I have been trying to figure out what is going on, and the only thing I can come up with is that there may be a conflict with the Program Drive Genius 3. Has anybody had any similar issues?

your first course of action is to back up any and all data that you have, especially from the affected drive
then, its to ascertain wether the drive is failing or if the system is corrupted. (follow the advice in the other posts)
if the system is corrupted, you just need to reinstall the system (fresh)
if the drive is failing, you can keep the system, by cloning it to another drive. Drive genius does this with the duplicate function. (if you hear about superduper or CCCloner, they do this too)
in any and all cases, when all this is settled, you should have a cloned copy of a working system on another drive (or two). Every month (or few), reclone (backup) your system. When you are about to install a system update, say from 10.6.6 to 6.7, clone before, then update.
you can have multiple systems installed. Each one on its hard drive, or even ten systems on the same hard drive, each one in its own partition, (though if the drive fails, those multiples wont help, on the same drive. Plus, in order to clone, you need different drive. Im just saying its possible.) I use an old 300GB drive partitioned 6 ways, with different cloned instances of various systems. You can choose which system to boot from in the 'startup' pane in system preferences.
for example, when 10.7 Lion comes out, the worse thing you can do is to outright install on top of the existing system. A new system might not work in the beginning for various reasons, hardware or software conflicts, unupdated drivers, etc Before the kinks are worked out, a person might have to go back to a previous copy. Boy, am i sure glad i had that up to the minute clone . . .

Need help with drive installation for K9N2 SLI Platinum

Hi
I am new to the forum and to MSI
This is my 6th computer build and first time using SATA and PCIe
My hardware includes:
•   MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum Motherboard
•   Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5
•   GeForce 9800 GT 512MB GDDR3
•   AMD Phenom X4 9850 Quad Core Processor, Black Edition 2.5GHz
4MB Cache 2000MHz [4000 MT/s] FSB
•   Thermaltake Ruby Orb Aluminum Core CPU Cooler
•   UltraX3 850 Watt ATX Modular Power Supply
•   [1] Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133
•   [1] Maxtor 80MB ATA133 Drive [Not connected yet]
•   [1] Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE
•   [2] Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA Hard Drives With 32 MB Cache
[Not connected]
•   LG DVD-RW
•   Toshiba DVD-ROM
•   AMI Bios
•   Antec Full Tower case
The board set up fine, but I can’t figure out how to install my drives. The MSI directions are the worse I’ve ever seen, or should I say non-existent. They don’t even describe the bios entries… I am familiar with the bios, but don’t know all the settings for the board. I set the time and date and had to rearrange my drive placement on the board to have my 2 DVD drives show up on the secondary IDE Channel instead of the primary IDE. The Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 is on the primary master IDE. I’m old fashioned so I still use FDISK to erase the old OS and partition the drive… I couldn’t see my SATA drive in FDISK even though I could see it in the bios. Now I want my Western Digital 500GB 7200RPM 16MB SATA II HARD DRIVE to be the system drive and the Western Digital 200MB7200 ATA133 to be a slave drive. My previous boards had raid but I just used them as additional slave drives.
My goals: I want to have redundancy for my personal audio/video and my work. I will use the 2 Seagate 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB SATA drives for that.
I also want 2 additional drives not purchased yet for my other data storage needs and for games
My questions are:
Can I use the SATA drive as the system drive if a drive is connected to the primary IDE?
How do I set up Raid on this board? I actually want to use its capabilities this time.
Does this board present any special problems with dual booting XP sp2 and Vista 64bit.
If I put another set of Corsair XMS2 TWIN2X4096-6400C5 in anticipation of installing Vista 64bit will this cause a problem other than windows XP not seeing the additional memory.
Is there additional documentation for this board somewhere?
Please help…I have been working on this thing for 4 days straight. My last build took 2 hours not including software installation. Hope I stated everything you need to know. Thanks in advance

Hello!
Advice no. 1 will be not to have everything connected at once. Have the chosen SATA and one of the DVD:s connected and install Windows. (Windows can only boot from bootable devices. It "jumps" all un-bootable.) Once you have a successful boot and happy with it, remove other things from the boot-sequence.
Eh, some of your questions suggest you don't have the full manual, but a multi-lingual one. Check this out, bottom of the list:

Help with driver for wireless

I have an HP LaserJet P1005 printer, connected to a PC running Vista. I have a new laptop running Windows 7 that I can't get to print wirelessly. The printer is listed in my laptop devices, and the Homegroup is set up. I was told I needed a 32-bit driver to make it work, as my laptop is 64 bit and the PC with the connected printer is 32 bit. I think I found the driver online, but when I try to download it to the laptop, it hangs forever and won't finish. Why is this so hard?????

Hello Jsherman,
Your printer is a Host based printer, which means it needs the computers cpu its connected to to process a printjob. This will make it difficult to get it working from a differant computer via Printersharing. (difficult means as good as impossible in this case.

Please help with driver problem trying to reinstall windows 7

Hi, product is HP 655 Notebook pc operating system windows 7 however due to my daughters negligence (dont know exactly what, do know she very rarely if ever shut it down properly) the computer would go on but but only to black screen stating after general info at top (PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable) next line (PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM), on last line (No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key). dint have the boot disc only the product key so downloaded windows 7 home premium, put it on disc to start again. While trying to install Win 7, I get past a couple of screens in (collecting information) then I get stuck at a "Select the driver to be installed." screen. there is nothing in the box to choose just a statement "No signed device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK.". Im certainly no expert but can and have followed instruction just dont know if i'm missing something, any help in this matter would be very much appreciated and thank you in advance!

Hi del922,
Your HP 655 is a commercial product and to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting in the commercial forums. Here is a link to the Commercial Notebook forum.

Help with driver inst

I have the Sound Blaster Li've 5.. The drivers that are installed are 5.2.000.0296. I downloaded the newer version and everytime I try to install it I get this error message
Setup could not detect any Sound Blaster Audio card on your system.
Please ensure that your Sound Blaster hardware is properly installed before running this Setup program.
Setup will now exit.
Any one have any ideas what could be the problem?
When I go to the System Hardware the Sound Blaster card shows it's there.
The card works but I just wanted to make sure the lastest drivers where installed. I am having some issues with FEAR and a couple other games and just trying to elimanate all possiablites.
Thanks

I've registered here just for this same thing. I've got an older Audigy Gamer on an XP system and I'm getting the same error message as you. I've had to install the drivers off the Driver CD which is years old. I can't get any updated drivers due to this issue. Why is the driver installation routine not seeing my SB Audigy Gamer installed? And how can I get around this issue so I can update my drivers to the latest?
I need the latest for Quake 4, since I've been reading that the CTD issues could possibly be caused by OpenAI support, which my card lacks unless I update to the latest beta drivers. Please Creative, let's hear what the issue it and how to cure it.
Thanks...Message Edited by pailhead on 0-24-2005 06:02 AM

Drive Genius 2 and utilities folder

Hi there
1) I am hopping some one called help me with Drive Genius 2. I want to initialize the disk. But the problem is that there are two options one is “Apple Partition Map” the other is “GUID Partition Table”. Don’t know which one to choose, what do they mean? I am using a three year old iMac and want to reformat an external USB drive.
2) Something else I would like to know about the utilities folder in the app folder on the Mac. All of the utilities that came with the Mac are missing. Don’t know where they have gone but “About this Mac “ and the more info button is greyed out and cant be pressed. The info I think was in utilities folder which is now missing. How do I get the utilities back, can I get it from the Mac OS X disc that came with the computer? Don’t want to install the how system, is there anyway I can just get utilities from the disc?
Thanks for any help

Thanks for the info
I have Pacifist and I thought it had worked but on the Disk utility, system profiler, and terminal are crossed out and when clicked on it says "You can't open the application "System Profiler" because it is not supported on this architecture". What does this mean and can I get it working again?
Thanks for your help

How do you fix imac disk defragmentation? I used Drive Genius 3 and the same things keep coming back as fragmented.

How do you repair disk defragmentation on an imac? I tried with Drive Genius 3 and after completion the same defrag keeps showing up.

Disk fragmentation and particularly whether it can be fixed, is very controversial. The following thread is worth reading:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3327627?start=0&tstart=0
I think it's true that disks can become fragmented, and this can affect performance. However it is also said that the OS X file system attempts to address this issue in the background all the time, apparently for certain sizes of files in particular.
In my experience the biggest problem is actually lack of disk space. If you don't have a fair amount of free space on your drive, tinkering with the fragments won't help much if your system needs to create a swap file or do some other maintenance. So my recommendation is that you follow the advice to clone and re-create your drive, but if you have limited free space, consider upgrading the disk or the entire computer in the longer term.
Hope that's helpful.

Drive Genius 3 LE - how to defrag?

Hey all,
I recently bought Drive Genius 3 LE from the App Store.
Using a MBP 15". It won't let me defrag the HD. There's a big red exclamation point that says "Can not defrag this drive". I was thinking of booting the computer from my USB HDD which has Mac OSX on it, then defragging my internal HDD with Drive Genius, but I don't know how to make OS X boot with the USB HDD?
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks, in advance!

Hold down the option key at Boot up and it should show you all valid Bootable Volumes, or use System Preferences/Startup Disc to set the external.

Drive Genius shows a streak of stupidity and screws up my hard drive

I tried defragging my hard drive (so I could install something in Boot Camp) with Drive Genius (from a 10.5 partition on my external drive), and suddenly it stops. I try again, not noting the error message, and I get:
FATALDISKERROR: Overlapped extents found (extent 2 overlaps extent 1 by 1189 blocks)
I have no idea what to make of this, and so I try everything in the repair section of the app. Repair and Rebuild only show:
Repairing volume...
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Incorrect block count for file iNode386845
(It should be 2 instead of 1)
Incorrect block count for file iNode386846
(It should be 1 instead of 3)
Incorrect block count for file iNode386850
(It should be 1 instead of 14)
Invalid extent entry
Invalid node structure
Volume check failed.
Checking for errors in the extents map...
Rebuild Failed.
I'm currently cloning my MacBook's internal drive to an image. Hopefully someone knows how to fix this mess.

Eh, crap. Forgot to close this thread.
Anyway, I was bored enough to outline this problem:
-Tried using Drive Genius to defrag internal drive, but it failed horribly somehow and caused many problems that started this horrible mess
-Used a Maintenance partition on external drive full of utilities and crap during this "incident"
-Disk Warrior fixed that, but moved files from their original spots to /Recovered Files, most of them are Xerox printer things located in /Library/Printers/Xerox; both those are deleted (Secure Empty Trash), will have to reinstall those
-AppCleaner complains about there not being a "/Library/Application Support/AppCleaner/AppCleaner Daemon" and doesn't let MB start up, making the directory and chmod 777-ing it, didn't do anything
-Backed up by CCC after all the above happened and before the reinstall and Drive Genius before all the above happened
-Tried reinstalling via upgrade method, didn't work so restored from backup
-Tried Archive and Install, worked!
Now I've traded Macs with my brother and also upgraded the RAM on both. C'est nice!

Drive Genius Bootable CD

Probably I'm in the wrong forum - but here goes nothing:
I have a license of Drive Genius, but I accidentally sent it through the Paper Shredder (don't ask). I still have the app itself installed on my computer, but is there a costless way to burn that app onto a disk (or maybe an external HDD) so that I could boot with Drive Genius?
Thanks!

Boot from the installer DVD:
Booting From An OS X Installer Disc
1. Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
2. Restart the computer.
3. Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
4. Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
5. Wait for installer to finish loading.
After the install loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Wait for the menubar to appear, then select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your external drive from the left side list then click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format to Mac OS Extended, Journaled, give a name to your volume then click on the Erase button. After formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Continue the install process. When you arrive at the screen to select a target click on the icon for your external drive. Then complete the installation.
Once you have finished boot from the external drive by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button. After startup has completed you can copy the Drive Genius application to the external drive.
You will also need to copy the com.prosofteng.DriveGenius plist files from the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder and the DriveGenius folder from the /Library/Applications Support/ folder to their respective locations on the new system of the external drive. If you know your serial number then you can skip these.
