What's meaning?
Could you use your computer normally? It seems that your installation corrupt.
I would like to suggest you

On return home I pressed the start up button and it started normally everything was working fine i decided to reinstall all the software what has caused the problem I have no idea but it is after several attempted reboots it finally started on its own so don't give up if you have this problem it may come to life

Set up a RAID 1 with four Hard disks with DiskUtility

I have a Sonnet Fusion-500 RAID enclosure with four hard disks of 500 GB (2TB total) connected to a Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz, 2GB RAM, MacOSX 10.4.8) through a Sonnet Serial ATA PCI express card (Tempo E4P model). Since I have a total capacity of 2 TB, I would like to set up a RAID 1 (mirrored) and combine the four drives in a final working volume of 1GB, (and the remaining 1GB in the mirror volume). I've been trying to setup the RAID with DiskUtility, but I cannot get a working volume of 1 GB (only 500 GB -the size of a single disc-). Can anybody please give me some help in setting up this type of RAID?
The four 500 GB discs are OK, since I can create a RAID 0 (~ 2 TB) or initialize them al individual drives without problems.
Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz & 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Glad I could help.

Replacing tunes in iTunes in computer with new hard disk

I recently had to replace my hard disk. I have authorized my computer (same as old one, but with new hard disk). Can't unauthorize the previous one. But want to transfer the music (from my CDs) currently on my iPod to iTunes on my computer. Having problems doing this. Any way to do so? Thanks.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk.

My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk. Now does not recognize the internal hard disk, but connect this HD using usb conector works fine.
So it's a hardware problem.
I'm really disappointe

Pipfromvic,
have you tried installing Mavericks onto an external disk, and booting from the external disk using Startup Manager? If it runs well from an external disk, but continually crashes when running from the internal disk even after clean reïnstallations, then that could point to a faulty internal SATA cable as the culprit.

Oracle recommend configuring a Sun StorageTek 6140 with 15 hard disks

Hi,
How would Oracle recommend configuring a Sun StorageTek 6140 with 15 hard disks for optimal use with multiple Solaris servers running Oracle instances connected via a SAN? Should the storage array be configured as a single RAID 5 device and then LUNs created for the different servers? Or should each Oracle instance have its own dedicated hard disks?
Also might we see better performance if we used Solid State Devices for the ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) and/or L2ARC on ZFS, instead of using the UFS file system straight to the SAN?
Regards
NM

I don't think Oracle would recommended any particular way. I would consider the following, but your mileage may vary, so testing is very important.
Raid 1 (10) for logs
RAID5 for Tables
But if you have many servers access the same LUN's/VDISKS then contention may be a problem. Maybe consider consolidating all you servers to a single Oracle Server.( For protection a second server with Oracle Solaris Cluster)
ASM is the best method for managing disks and data placement. But if like to see files/directories then go for UFS with direct I/O enabled. ZFS is fantastic if you want to use Snapshot/clones/Compression, etc.. but I think UFS is faster.
As for cache, Oracle 11gR2 has support for storing objects specifically in FLASH, so look to use the Sun F20 card with 96Gb of flash.

Hey guys, I have a macbook pro 2011, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD running 10.8.5. I seem to have a strange problem. Any song or video I play off my itunes or internal hard disk freezes and skips on both itunes and Quicktime player. However if I play the same song or video on say the VLC player it works just fine.
Now the stranger part is that any song or video played from an external hard drive plays just fine on itunes, Quicktime, VLC etc. So my best guess was that something is wrong with my internal HDD. But then why are songs and videos playing fine on VLC but not itunes or quicktime when played through the internal HDD?
Also since I have upgraded to 10.8.4 and up the spinning pin wheel has begun to appear very often. It even appears when I am surfing the web etc. Is this all got to do with a hardware issue or is it a software issue? Is there any point in me replacing my internall HDD with a SSD?
Please do let me know what you guys think. Any and all help will be much appreciated.
Regards,
Arunabh Agarwal

Back up all data immediately as your boot drive may be failing.
If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator. I've tested them only with the Safari web browser. If you use another browser, they may not work as described.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Normally the command will produce no output, and the window will be empty.

HP MINI 5101 problem with instaling XP SP3 with Usb Hard disk

i have problem formatting and installing windows XP SP3 with my usb hard disk on HP Mini 5101
my laptop wont read my usb anyone have any suggestions???
please help

I dont know the exact reason.... and HP engineer can tell you though... but i'm sure that it was built like this purposly...
my thinking is:
the WWAN Modem works constantly with the battery power as the AC power may differ some times and it can harm the modem...
also suppose..
the netbook is running on the battery power and you are using the WWAN....
you plugged in the AC adapter... which will offcource change the incoming power to the laptop...
if the WWAN also switches to the AC power then it will face interaption and your work will get interepted....
it is like cell phones.....
they will not get signal unless the battery is inserted...

Getting the hard disk error window while turning on

i had put one cd on my laptop ....
and after that i was playing games and laptop hang .....
i opened task manager but it does not work..
so i press the power button.......
....now i am getting the window with hard disk error which i cant diagnos..
.........plz help me.....

The hard disk error pretty much means what is says. We would like to know the model of the laptop and Windows version, but assuming it is a Windows 7 machine tap F10 as you power on and see if you can do a full hard drive diagnostic. If it is Windows 8 you would tap F2.

Help With New Hard Drive Installation Recovery

I had a bad hard drive crash. I installed a new one and got the bios to boot from the cd drive, with the windows 7
orginal install cd in the drive. It recognized Drive 0, I clicked new in the options. It created ONE System partition.
Installed windows 7 seemingly fine. Inserted the application and driver recovery disk and installed those. It all seemed fine. This morning I turned it on and it the hard drive error message (3F0) please install an operating system. I shut it down and restarted, it seemed normal. I installed a few programs, shut it down again. Returned to it later, started it up again and it took me to the diagnostic screen telling me SMART Check - Not Installed and Short DST - Not Installed.. Can someone tell me how to delete that partition and I can format the drive in a usb sata enclosure and start over again.
Please tell me the correct proceedure to get this laptop back up and running to a factory state. I have original Windows7 and Windows8 and Application and Driver disks for both OS'es.. I want to stay with the Windows7 installation.
Thanks for any help with this problem. I have no idea where I went wrong !

It is not impossible that the new hard drive is bad, have seen it before. It is also possible that the sata controller on motherboard is bad-but I would look at that possibilty last. Can you get an exchange on the new hdd?

Pxie 8108 does not boot with new hard disk

Hi
I'm currently using PXIe 8108 with PXIe-1062Q.
The previous hard disk was borken so I had to install a new hard disk.
The new hard disk is fommatted as NTFS format, and it is currently mounted on 8108.
Unfortunately I don't have recovery disk avaialble so I'm trying to install Windows 7 on empty hard disk.
When you boot, the PWK OK LED light is on all the time, DRIVE orange LED is on for few seconds only when I turn the switch on.
Labview RT switches are all off, I cleared CMOS many times from the board but, the screen shows nothing.
I have tried use my DVI monitor with other device as well, and it worked so there is no problem with the monitor.
In addition, I tried to go to window safe mode by pressing F8 or Del it didn't work, so I see nothing on the screen when its booted up.
I tried to put as much information I can it will be very appreciated if you can help me with this issue please.

You said you can't get into Windows safe mode, have you installed Windows on the hard drive? Are you able to get into the BIOS for the controller?
If you aren't able to access the BIOS for the controller, it may be due to bad RAM. If you are comfortable installing RAM and you have some extra laptop RAM of the same type (I think it's DDR3 for your controller) laying around, you can try swapping out the RAM.
Was your hard drive damaged through some event, or did it just stop working?

MS-6195 (K7 Pro with 80GB Hard Disk?

I have an MSI 6195 motherboard which has been flashed to the most recent BIOS (V1.8) and am wondering if the board will work with an 80GB hard disk as the Primary Master Boot drive using the built in IDE controller.
I've searched the forum but can't find a conclusive answer.
Does anybody know whether this will work?
Thanks
