How do I access new second hard drive?

Hi! I am newbie, I am sorry if this a dumb question...
How do I access my second hard drive?
This is what I have:
SparcStation5 170Mhz, 192MB memory.2HDD (one 4.3GB w/ OS, second Hdd 4.3GB)
I had my sparc working with Solaris 8 just perfect!
I added the second hard drive, no problems, I formatted the HDD from withing Solaris OS, (I can probe-scsi from openBoot promt and it showes OK), everything is OK so far, I can see the send hard drive using format, I can partition it and create slices on it, everything seems to be OK, I have no problems making partitions and everything on that Hdd. But when I try 'ls', I can't see anything on that disk, any suggestions? I tried several ways from my manual/book, including mount and it reads 'no acces point on mount' or somthing like that.
this is what I see from format command:
disk 0. (seegate 4.3GB.....) this is my new hard drive (already formated and partioned, I created a new partition /usr with 3.75GB on partition 6. Partition 3 is used by the hdd with a totoal of 4GB . this shows as c0t1d0
disk 1. (SUN4.2GB) this is the hard drive with the OS Solaris 8. this is c0t3d0
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

hi there ...
read below--
Find out the address of the drive
STOP+A
At the OK prompt, type probe-scsi. This will list all scsi devices on the system. Find the new drive.
Type boot -r so the OS will see the new drive.
Login as root and type format. Pick the new drive. The drives are listed as c(controller #)t(scsi id or target #)d(disk #). Label drive is required (it will tell you if the drive is not labeled).
Next, type partition. Partition the drive as required (always leave partition 2 as the whole drive as it is informational to the OS
Type print to list the current partitions. When you are done making changes type label
To return to the OS prompt, type quit twice
newfs /dev/dsk/DRIVE-ADDRESS
(ie c0t1d0s0) (controller 0 target(ID) 1 disk 0 slice(partition) 0).
mkdir directory, where directory is the directory you want to mount the drive on
(ie, /disk2)
mount /dev/dsk/DRIVE-ADDRESS directory
Add the new drive to your /etc/vfstab file.
(ie. /dev/dsk/c0t1d0s0 /dev/rdsk/c0t1d0s0 /disk2 ufs 1 yes - )

  • How do I add a second hard drive to my dv7-3060us​?

    I'm very short of space on my HP originally installed 500GB hard drive and need more storage space. I have a new Seagate 750GB drive, 7200 rpm, and would like to install it. When I opened the case to access the second hard drive compartment, I was stymied when I found no connectors pre-installed. What do I need to do to install this drive?
    Thanks!

  • How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?

    How do I access an external hard drive attached to an Airport Extreme using the Finder's "Go to the folder" feature?
    I have an external hard drive attached to my Airport Extreme and I can access it just fine through Finder.  I would like to be able to keyboard navigate to it in an efficient manner.  I tried to use the "Go to the folder" feature but was unable to.
    I had tried dragging the drive to the Network folder but the shortcut it created does not lead to the drive's contents...it seems to lead right back to the parent directory:
    I hope I explained the question well.  Thank you for all of your help and time in tending to my inquiry.

    Cant you set up "back to my mac" then go to finder preferences and put a check mark under everything under the shared location. Also set up back to my mac on your airport extreme.

  • How do I reformat the second hard drive in the Mac Mini Server (Late 2012)?

    In Disk Utility, I don't see the second hard drive, I only see the SSD that I installed myself in the main boot drive. How do I gain access to  reformat the second drive?

    Did you reinstall the OS after you installed the SSD?
    If so it would have created a Fusion drive that looks like one drive.
    If you go to System Report, what shows under the SATA bus? You should see both the SSD and the HD if it is recognized to some degree.

  • HT2426 how do i access my external hard drive connected to my time capsule 4th gen

    how do i acess my external hard drive (wd) that is connected to my time capsule using a macbook pro?

    Make sure that the drive has been formatted correctly to work with the Time Capsule.
    That means a format of Mac OS Extended (Journaled)....highly recommended.....or FAT32.
    Once this is checked, open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the Time Capsule icon, then click Edit
    Click the Disks tab at the top of the screen
    If the USB port on the Time Capsule can supply enough power to the hard drive, you will see the name of the drive displayed in the window, per the example below:
    If you have the correct format on the drive, and it does not appear, this is an indication that the USB port on the Time Capsule  (which is under powered), does not have enough power to work with your hard drive.......even if the hard drive has its own power supply.
    In this case, you will need to use a powered USB hub with the Time Capsule to provide enough current for the hard drive.
    Now you should be able to access the drive using the Finder to mount it on the desktop.

  • How do I use my second hard drive for storage, not back up?

    Hi, I bought a second hard drive to store files (not back-up for my system), but when I moved some files over to drive two and then deleted the same files from drive one, they also deleted from the 2nd drive! Fortunately I could reverse the process and there was no loss, but what now? How do I disconnect the two so I can use the second as storage? 
    Thanks and happy Easter for those of you who celebrate it. Kate (Porter)

    Whilst I normally drag files around, a copy and paste still should have created a replica on the destination drive.
    That the second is mounted internally makes my describing it as an external drive inaccurate, but wouldn't cause the problem.
    So that still leaves the scant possibility that the original source is itself an alias.
    Was the copy and paste done in a Finder window or was it done via some other application's window?
    I look forward to an update on this unusual event.

  • How do I partition my second Hard Drive

    I am wondering why my second hard drive that apple installed on my mac wont partition for use with windows.
    I tried to partition the drive via Boot Camp Assistant and when I tell it to partition it sits there for hours saying its partitioning. I tried restarting and trying again. It just wont complete.
    My next step was opening the disc utility and selecting the second hard drive and clicking partition. It still doesn't work. I get an error message saying
    "Partition failed with the error: Filesystem resize support required, such as HFS+ with journaling enabled"
    I took screen captures of the steps I took that are in these links

    http://gallery.me.com/calaberator/100029/Picture-207.jpg?derivative=medium&sourc e=web.jpg&type=medium&ver=12205459000001
    It won't let me partition the disc. Does anyone have any recomendations?

    Okay!
    Disk Utility is... weird ever since Leopard, and BootCamp Assistant... fine for iMac or MacBook but not as flexible as I like.
    Sometimes you just have to restart Disk Utility, or at worst, restart. Sometimes after resizing partitions and such, you really do want to restart before using those partitions.
    I've seen Disk Utility "lose communication" with a drive.
    I don't like to use the last part of a drive.... for anything, it is the slowest inner tracks and less than half the performance.
    If you don't have anything on it that you need and that is backed up, I would just go to Partition tab and start over.
    Personally, I like to strip a drive of all partition tables and format it in Windows. Or set it as Master Boot Record, then create a couple FAT partitions which works for Vista installs but not for XP.
    Vista needs at least 40GB and you want to leave room to add applications, restore points, and room for updates (a 500MB 'update' can unpack, write temp files, and use much more, as much as 7-10GB for Vista SP1 update, which you get back most of afterwards. And 2-3x the amount of RAM for pagefile and hibernation.
    Try again, restart if necessary, and it really should.
    When a drive is first formatted, it writes partition tables and has to test the first and last 100 sectors plus where the GPT and EFI partitions go, which shouldn't take more than 2 minutes. More than that, just kill it, quit Disk Utility and try again.
    If you have never used the drive, consider doing a full zero-all from security options to erase it after you have it partitioned.

  • How can I share/access a second hard drive on my 'puter?

    Actually, the second drive is on my G4 running Tiger; it's Drive2 because it's not the boot drive, and I'd like it to be available to everyone in the house, but especially me. I'll access it from my MacBook(10.6), the other folks from the G4 itself. But when I'm on the MacBook, the Drive2 is never even visible as a target when I try to connect. That's the first thing I'd like to fix. Later we can figure out privacy/ownership issues for the files we put there.
    From the MacBook, I can logon to the G4's boot drive as a guest—which seems to happen automatically, but only accesses public folders—or as a User of one of the accounts on it, but I don't get Drive2 either way. I accidentally discovered that if I connect as admin I do get an option to see both drives, but not to access my files on Drive2, nor my own account on the boot drive; I just get to mess about in the admin account, as one would expect. But if I sit at the G4 and logon I can see and use both drives. I have mucked with ownerships and 'Ignore ownerships …' to a dangerous degree, and no suucess. It would be a kindness if someone could tell me the default settings I should have recorded.
    What must/can I do to make the second drive a free-for-all-users place in my tiny wee home network? Since it already is accessible for anyone on the G4, that question actually reduces to: How can I make the second, non-boot HD on a Tiger G4 available to a user on a SnowLeopard MacBook?
    I know there's a place for this question in the Tiger forums, but I have to start somewhere, and double-posting's not helpful.

    Right-click the volume icon and select Encrypt... from the popup menu.

  • How do I access an external hard drive that is plugged into an AirPort Extreme

    I have an external hard drive connected to my AirPort Extreme and I wanted to know how to access the photos and videos on it while using an iPhone or iPad while connected to the network.  When I go to the airport utility app on my phone or iPad I can see the drive listed under file sharing and disks so I know it's connected.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks

    You will need an App like Filebrowser to do what you want. More details here:

  • Help!! Managed to erase a new second hard drive I added and now the system won't boot up

    I can't believe it!! Having un-successfully tried to add a 2nd 2Tb HD, which wouldn't identify itself properly or erase. I took a HD out of one of my PCs and tried again.  This time the hard drive was identified correctly and using disk utility I erased it and formatted it successfully.  I then shut down, restarted and all I got was an initial white screen and then a black one with a flashing cursor.  What have I done wrong...? How can i get the OS to start properly? 

    Hold down the Alt/Option key while you restart.
    This invokes the All-in-ROM Startup Manager, which very slowly inspects each drive and draws an Icon for each potentially-bootable Volume.
    If it finds one, select it and click proceed arrow.
    If not you will need to boot fron your Installer/Utilities DVD and use Disk Utility from there to look around.
    ¿Is there a possibility a new drive is messing up the SATA Bus and precluding booting?

  • How do I access a USB hard drive plugged into my AirPort Extreme from a PC?

    Hi
    I have an AirPort Exteme, and my cousin and I are having no trouble accessing it from our MacBook Pro, however when it comes to my other cousin, she can't find it fron her PC (operating on windows 7).  When the MacBook Pro's open finder it is just sitting under 'shared'.  How do I get my cousin to access the Hard Drive from her PC? She is connected to the Wi-Fi network just fine
    Thanks in advance!

    Download the Airport utility for PC from Apple - I use this to connect - This should load the Airport Base Station Agent in the system tray which can be used to connect. It should appear as a Network Drive (Z:)

  • How good is this new MCE hard drive?

    Has anyone heard of this new hard drive from MCE? I guess it allows you to install another hard drive into your MacBook Pro. This is the link... http://www.mcetech.com/optibay/. What are the negative issues this could bring up? Heat issues im guessing...
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Yeah, I would love to hear from anyone who has done this...! I think the idea is great, but have no idea the impact on heat and battery life! I wonder, if the heat and battery issues are negligible, how great this setup could be with the forthcoming Time Machine (Leopard!)...!

  • How do I install a second hard drive specifical​ly an ssd?

    I realized my laptop has room for another hard drive and I wanted to install one and run my OS off of it. What do i need to install it or do i already have it? 
    Name: HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
    Number: A179AV
    OS: Windows 7

    Take a look at this Guide:
    Add a 2nd HDD / SSD to HP dv7 t-7000, dv7t-7xxx, dv7tQE
    There are YouTube videos that describe the procedure.
    Below is one of these:
    Hp dv7t, dv7 6xxx series 2nd HDD / SSD installation (dv7-6000 cable)
    The process is pretty straight forward.. You need to have the parts, of course, a clean and well-lit work area... and HAVE YOUR BACKUPS done AHEAD OF TIME in case something goes sideways.  Anytime you open the box, you risk your data...  Have your Recovery Discs ready, your backups done, and your "how-to" information printed and ready to go.
    Kind Regards,

  • How do i access an external hard drive through time capsule from my macbook

    I've just bought a 2GB Time Capsule but I can't see my external hard drive plugged in to the Time Capsule's USB in Finder from my Macbook.
    When I plug the hard drive in to the Macbook the drive appears on the desktop. HDD was originally set up for a windows machine, I've read some other posts that say the Time Capsule won't back up the drive unless it's Mac Formatted... does the same apply if you are just trying to access it and copy files etc?
    I'm connected wirelessly through the Time Capsule.
    Thanks!

    Thanks Niel
    ... so if I have a correctly formatted HDD, I presume I can just see the HDD in Finder under 'Data' in Time Capsule?
    I might just transfer the files I need from my HDD connected to my Macbook on to the TimeCapsule over the wifi and sort the formatting issue later.

  • How do I access my Mac hard drive from my Windows OS?

    I recently bought a MacBook Pro and had it partitioned into two hard drives, 65 gig of mac and 35 gig of windows, which will mostly be for games. However, when I am running OS X, i can explore the windows hard drive, but when I run XP, I can't explore the Mac hard drive. I turned file sharing on, so I thought I should be able to. My main reason for this question is because I moved my music to the mac side, and I want windows to be able to access it so that I dont have to store it on both sides. Thanks so much!

    Hi Josh!
    If you're sharing from Mac to Windows then obviously your network connection is working fine. What happens when you try to share from Windows to Mac? Are you getting error messages?
    I highly suggest using SharePoints to create the Windows shares on your Mac. Then on your Windows machine go to Start --> Run and enter something like "\\MacIPaddress\newshare".
    Hope this helps! bill
