    Ensure it's formatted as Mac OS Extended, FAT16, or FAT32, connect it to a self-powered hub, and plug it into the Time Capsule's USB port. If the drive is Ethernet and not USB, ignore everything else and just plug it in.

    How do i dump my external hard drive from a PC to my Mac

    If you don't see the external HD when you connect it to the Mac, then you need to use Disk Utility to format the XHD to a FAT32 drive. Once done it will read on the Mac and PC without any problems.

  • How do you connect an NTFS hard drive for time machine???

    So I have this 1.5 TB hard drive connected like so:
    1.5 TB HDD ==========> Wifi Router (configured to be accessible using FTP, and SMB, also able to connect using HTTP, but haven't tried)
                           (USB)                 ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||   (Wifi, 2.4 ghz wireless G /OR/ 5 ghz wireless n)
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     ||
                                                     V
                                        To my macbook pro (which logs onto this NTFS hard drive just fine and shows it as a server)
    So that's how it's setup.  I can access the files and everything just fine as a server, which is all peachy.  But I want to use Time Machine.  So here's how I got my hard drive connected in the first place, I followed these steps from OSX Daily:
    Map a network drive to Mac OS X
    This method maps a network drive that will disappear if the network connection drops or if you reboot your Mac:
    From the Mac OS X Finder, hit Command+K to bring up the ‘Connect to Server’ window
    Enter the path to the network drive you want to map, ie: smb://networkcomputer/networkshare and click ‘Connect’
    Enter your login/password and click “OK” to mount the network drive
    The drive will now appear on your desktop and in the Finder window sidebar
    Did everything it says right up there, and worked like a charm.  Plus I used this command that allows Time Machine to see my hard drive and supposedly make it usable, if you want to know it, tell me and I'll put it on here, if you don't need to I'm to lazy to find it
    anyway, I went to Time Machine, selected my hard drive (yay!  It wasn't there before) and all seems just fine.  Then it hangs on the "Making Backup Disk Usable" bit.  I did lots of searches and it seems to be a problem with something like bundles or whatever, but I can't figure it out.  Help?

    Why do you want to use a NTFS format that's Microsoft's for protecting your data with TimeMachine a Apple software?
    Doesn't make much sense. Just format the drive in Disk Utility HFS+Journaled like TimeMachine expects instead of having to use workarounds as NFTS isn't a native Mac format.
    Select hard drive name, click Erase tab, click HFS+Journaled, give it a name and click Erase...
    If you want the drive wiped of all data, then use Security option Zero erase. (takes a lot longer)
    I think you need to read up on TimeMachine

  • How do you query bios for hard disk drives?

    Is there any way to query the bios to find out the interupt address (i.e. 80x) of all the attached hard disks?
    Only I need to manually figure it out for installing grub or lilo.

    If you have a working Linux system installed you can do lspci -v, but it sounds like you are just installing, so you can't do this. Why do you need to know the interrupts for your hard drives for GRUB/LILO? I don't recall ever having to know this information to install either LILO or GRUB or even the FreeBSD boot loader.

  • How do you install OS after Hard Drive upgrade? Thinkpad T41p

    I have a Thinkpad T41p with Window XP Pro on it.  I have a new larger hard drive for it, but I do not know how I will be able to install the OS on the new drive.  The laptop came with the OS already installed on it.  That will to be the case, of course, for the new hard drive.  So what do I do?  If you could point me to a step-by-step procedure, I would be most grateful.  I have installed numerous OSs, so I am familiar with how to do that from installation CDs. 
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    GKent

    Just went through this process on my wife's T41. I did the following:
    downloaded and installed the eval copy of Active@ Disk Image and Active@ Boot Disk (created a boot CD).
    rebooted to the BIOS setup and in the security setting for the IBM Predesktop Area I selected Disable saved the changes and booted
    rebooted to windows and usedActive@ Disk Image to create a raw image of the entire disk to a USB hard drive
    Shut down and removed the original hard drive and installed the new empty hard drive
    rebooted using the CD created by Active@ Book Disk and started the Active@ Disk Image utility
    selected the Image to Disk option. This took the raw image and installed it on the new hard drive (this included the hidden partition as well as the windows partition
    rebooted without the boot cd and logged in to windows
    rebooted into the BIOS and reset the security setting for the IBM Predesktop Area to Normal, saved changes and booted
    result is the same size partitions as before on the new 80 GB hard drive so I then ran Partition Magic to resize the Windows partition to utilize all of the remaining space on the disk (left the hidden partion in place - it is still bootable)
    rebooted and I now have a 74.5 GB drive for windows with all of the installed software intact
    I did plan on using the recovery option to reinstall the image to the factory settings since I had a few issues with windows on the original drive. Ran Rescue and Recovery and it could not find the restore images After much searching it appears that I will have to go out and buy the CDs (unless someone has a free download option)

  • How do you restore a new hard drive from a g drive

    I recently had to replace the hard drive on my MacBook...and am now trying to restore my files from my terabyte G-Drive.  Originally, I had to connect my Time Machine with my G-Drive, but not sure how to do that now.  If you have any experience doing this or can give me the steps that would be great!!  Thanks in advance.

    This did't help...but I have already restored it...I perservered on my own and found that the procedure was straightforward on the "Finder>Help" pages.  I just searched for "Restore my entire system and that's what came up.
    Make sure you are connected to your external drive.  Then, turn the computer off and then after you turn it back on at the gray window, hold down the Command and R keys, until the options come up and then select "Restore from a Time Machine Backup", then click Continue.  That's all I needed to do....everything was restored to the last time I backed up on my G Drive with Time Machine
    Now I just have to go back and get all the software updates since my last backup...

  • How do you format an External Hard Drive

    I'm New to Mac. I have a Mac Book Pro Intel. I need to format an old PC hard drive so it works as an external drive. I have it in a enclosure and connected by firewire. The Mac reads it but can not write to it. Plus I don't even know if you format like I did in windows PC.
    Mac Book Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    Hey,
    Here is a great way on how to format your drive for Mac. You would need to choose the MS-DOS format.
    To do this:
    1. Go to Disk Utility
    2. Find Your External HD on the left hand side and click on it
    3. Go to the Erase panel
    4. Choose the Volume Format as MS-DOS File System
    5. Name the Drive if you wish
    6. Erase
    For a more graphical representation follow the link below:
    Formatting an External HD (Note: In this case where it says "Mac OS Extended (Journaled) or Mac OS Extended" you would pick the MS-DOS option instead.)
    This allows you to use your dirve with both OS's and having the option of writing and reading for both. If you have any important documents or things on your HD I would just copy them over into a folder on your internal HD and then when the drive is formatted, just shoot them back over.
    -Tom

  • How would you set up your hard drives if you had these to work with

    So I currently have :
    1 internal 1 Tb 7200 HDD
    1 internal 300gb 7200 HDD
    This is all im using right now, but I also have a 3 TB external that I use to store media and also edit from. I was bringing the footage into the internal drives to edit from but space was growing thin.
    I bought other drives to redo my entire hard drive set up while incorporating the old ones as well
    1 2 Tb internal 7300 HDD
    2 250gb SSD (They are however not the same brand.)
    If someone could please give an opinion on how they would set these up from scratch that would be swell, or you can also recommend adding in another drive into the mix as well.

    ok, the internals Im using now i can't get in to see the model numbers, but for the others they are;
    Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST2000NM0033 2 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com
    Kingston SSDNow V200 Series SV200S3/256G 2.5" 256GB SATA III Internal Solid State Drive

  • How do you erase an external hard drive which will not show up on your computer?

    I bought a LaCie porsche design 2TB external hard drive  from the Apple Store to use with time machine on my MAC 2 months ago. It will no longer show up on my desktopn. After speaking with LaCie, they sent me a replacement. However, I have to send the brooken one back to them and since we could not erase it or anything on my Mac is there anyway to erase the hard drive before sending it back to them with all my information on there?
    Message was edited by: carolsh

    I know. But after Yahoo, Target , Neimans and others. But I agree. They even sent me a more expensive replacement as they did not have my model in stock and is backordered. So, a win win situation. I was impressed that the tech person spent about an hour on the phone with me trying a variety of options. At first, they were going to charge me shipping- but then she changed her mind and shipped the replacement 1 day fed ex. I guess that is why I always buy LaCie vs others. My older LaCie which I still had but was smaller- I plugged in and did a back-up and I had just enough room on it so I have that for safe keepings now as well.
    Thanks again for your pleasant response. I guess I need to limit my profile to "registered members" only. I hope Apple monitors these discussions and people's responses periodically.

    Boot your machine with the install disc that came with it, launch Disk Utility and repair the disk. If that passes, then boot your machine with the supplied Apple Hardware Test disc and run the extended tests, at least twice. If that passes, download and run Rember,
