How to Enable BIOS & HDD Security

I'm using my MacBook Air for work and have a need to enable a BIOS boot up and Hard Drive password. Is there any way to do this in Mac OS X 10.6.5?

You can enable a firmware password. The Firmware Password utility is in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder of your OS X installer disc. Copy it to your Utilities folder. Then see this article: Setting up firmware password protection in Mac OS X. Ignore instructions for Open Firmware Password and skip to the bottom for instructions for use on Intel hardware.

Welcome to the forum!
Even if it were physically possible, you wouldn't be able to use both Ethernet ports at the same time, because the motherboard doesn't support more than one connection at the time.

How to enable DNSSEC - DNS Security validation in Resolver

Hi,
I would like to set my Mac to use DNSSEC (request secure answers and perform validation of answers). Anybody have an idea how to configure this?
I understand BIND 9 is in the OS but don't know how/if it ties into the name (DNS) resolver library which the apps (like Safari etc) use. I've realized that the usual UNIX style config files like /etc/named.conf and /etc/resolv.conf aren't really in use (see the Mac OS notices inside them).
This originally started as the ISP (Rogers) started displaying their own ad ridden search page for mis-typed/non-existent domain names typed into the web browser address bar. There was an opt out, which I used, but then it started displaying a highly annoying copy of Internet Exploder's DNS error page. Lately they started redirecting my Safari default home page (when starting Safari or shiftcmdH) to their own website instead of what I've configured Safari with (I actually use the default http://livepage.apple.com/, call me lame . So much for net neutrality...
DNSSEC may not solve this particular problem, since not all domains are secured anyways, but I'd like to try the option for other obvious reasons too.
PS. I couldn't find a topic on this. Apologies if there is already a thread on this topic and please direct me there if you know of it.
Cheers and hope you're having happy holidays!
Thanks in Advance!

If you want to report this issue to Apple's engineering, send a bug report or an enhancement request via its Bug Reporter system. To do this, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report or enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

How to Enable Secure Boot on UEFI Systems?

SymptomsWhen attempting to enable Secure Boot, the system does not allow you to select the option to enable or disable Secure Boot. This is due to the way Acer's UEFI implementation requires a Supervisor Password be set in order to access this option.
UEFI is a newer technology that replaces the older standard BIOS.
DiagnosisCreating a Supervisor Password in UEFI will allow you to access the Secure Boot options. It is important that you remember this password as it will be required to make any changes in the UEFI interface.
SolutionCreate a Supervisor Password to gain access to the Secure Boot option.
Refer to our FAQ for all the steps on how to access Secure Boot on Desktops, Notebooks, and Tablets:
Enable or Disable Secure Boot in Windows 8

Das macht man 2-3 mal und dann ist nix mehr mit Bios. Dann kommt Passwort ist falsch und das war's dann. Hab ich schon auf verschiedenen Lappis gehabt. Sprich TOSHIBA... und Aspire E1-571g. Beim Toshi den Baustein ausgelötet neuen gekauft, beschrieben und wieder eingelötet. Kostet schlappe 150,-€. Mal schauen was beim Acer rauskommt.Vielleicht gibt es ja noch einen Jumper um das UEFI BIOS zurückzusetzen

You want to boot up the notebook by opening the lid. Right?
In this case you have to enable the option within the Windows 8 system settings
[Why does my Windows 8 notebook start automatically when opening the display lid?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ2C03FA0001R01.htm]

MSI X58 PLATINUM, the latest bios and how to enable turbo boost

1) Wich motherboard is ? MSI X58 PLATINUM or MSI X58 PLATINUM SLI ?
2) What is the lastest version Bios and where can i get ?
3) How to enable turbo boost in this motherboard ?
4) Thanks so much guys.

My bad. The obvious lack of your self research got the better of me. I do not take helping, if I can, lightly. This is new technology, & a lot of expertise is in short supply. I downloaded the manual on this board & read the bios section, & in CMOS Setup, you should find an "Enable" setting for Turbo Boost. If you don't, please contact MSI Tech Staff @ http://ocss.msi.com.tw Also, (in your manual), is a reference under "Intel Turbo Boost Tech", which clearly states "for further information please refer to Intel's official website". By your original post, CPU-Z says it's an SLI? What did you buy? Does it say on the retail box? At MSI's website, the X58 Platinum (not the SLI), has version 1.0 bios offered in three global region zip files. M7522v1.0 Euro.zip, M7522v1.0 ASIA.zip, & E7522v1.0.zip. J.T.N. is correct, the SLI board takes something else. Are both boards bios's compatable? I have no idea. Recommend step one as to confirm with MSI what board you truly have & go from there.

How to hold the HDD more secure in Ultrabay HDD Adapter

http://0rz.tw/hCi4T
One of the things I like most about my ThinkPad is the Ultrabay. The Ultrabay is by default occupied by the optical drive, but the optical drive can be removed and replaced with a hard drive adapter, a battery, or a serial/parallel port adapter. But the question seems alway exist, since ultrabay hdd adapter is fit to more than one models. When I insert the ultrabay adapter in my R400, i found that there is some space between the ultrabay and the computer. This is annoying because you have to worry about the dust. But the most serious problem is, the ultrabay HDD adapter could not hold the HDD securely!! Like the photo i show above, the adapter and the HDD is only connected and hold by the junction!So if you subject the adapter to a lot of movement, the drive connector can easily get damaged. Is there any solution to help?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi, the Ultrabay HDD Adapter is designed for Lenovo's own hard disks that come w a little metal "caddie" mounted around the hard disk with four screws. That's why the adapter is slightly too large. Unfortunately Lenovo doesn't make the caddie available as a spare part for use with non-Lenovo disks. In this thread a US vendor is listed selling the caddies and my positive experience with it.
Of course the caddies being manufactured in US make them unnecessarily expensive. It would be great if you could find a vendor selling these caddies located in your geography at a more competitive price. Please make sure to post your experiences here if you manage to find one.

Bios/HDD error

I am working with a HP ENVY dv7-7254er Notebook PC with Windows 8 with 2 HDD disks. Recently I faced a problem which prevents me from starting Windows: Black screen at the system start (F1,F2,F9,F10 working as intented, F11 gives no response). When I'm trying to run F2 diagnostics of hard disk I see this:
SMART check: Passed
Short DST: Failed
Failure ID: Q0E07G-69V7AL-QFPPKOK-60W903
Long DST: Failed
Failure ID: Q0E07G-69V7AL-QFPKOK-61EH03
Even tho I have 2 disks I can check only one.
After few manipulations I made a loading USB flash-drive with win8, to try system recovery, but when i try to recover the system it says:
Disk with Windows in locked, unlock it and try again (Bios checked - Security mode - disabled)
Automatic recovery gives no result, saying: Recovery tool was unable to recover computer.
Well (f*** that), after all of this, I was trying to install win8 on my other HDD, but when I try to do it from USB flash-drive It seems like my computer hasn't any HDDs even tho my bios sees both of them
1. Anyone know what these failure codes mean? Is my hard drive DOA?
2. Any suggestions for recovery? I think the notebook is out of warantee.
3. How to recover my system or at least make it operating?
Thanks!

DST: failed means the hard drive has failed and will need to be replaced. If you are still in warranty HP will send a replacement. If not a retail laptop SATA hard drive can be used. Just be sure to get one of at least equal capacity as the original 1TB hdd in order to use Recovery Media.
Maintenance & Service Guide HERE will help in replacing the hdd.
If you don't have Recovery Media you can phone HP Support to order.If you live in the US, contact HP Here.

UEFI Booting/ Enabling BIOS Features

Hello,
I have a Lenovo G475 laptop and I would like to know how to enable the (U)EFI mode in the BIOS menu and is it possible to access advanced features?
I want to UEFI boot an operating system.
InsydeH2O
BIOS Version: 41CN24WW(V2.00)
EC Version: 41EC24WW(V2.00)
Thank you.

hi lks1981,
Welcome to the Lenovo Community.
The Lenovo G475 only have the old Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) and doesn't have a UEFI as an additional option. Until such time Lenovo allows flashing of the BIOS to convert it to UEFI, you can't yet enable this option.
If you want to transform the BIOS to UEFI (to allow booting from HDD's larger than 2TB and up to 128 partitions or mix MBR with GPT type partitions) , you can try to use Developer's UEFI Environment (DUET), you can find more info here - http://tinyurl.com/d9owxqr
Hope this helps.
