How to format brand new HD under windows?

Hello. I have a mac pro intel which I can dual boot to windows XP SP2.
I just bought a new HD with the following specs:
Seagate Barracuda SATA2 750GB
and it is now located at bay 4 on my Mac Pro (bay 2 and 3 already have HFS disks).
I would like to have it NTFS formated, so I can work on it when I boot on windows.
The problem is that when I booted on windows it said it found a new hardware, disk drive, etc, but it does not show under windows explorer. That is understandable since it is unformated, but how do I do that if I can't see the drive?
Thank you for your help,
Cassiano

Use Windows management. If you do use Apple Disk Utility and want NTFS, then
DU Partition... look for "Options..." at the bottom where you can change it from GPL(GUID) to Master Boot Record. That way you can even format and write to it with MacFUSE 3G. I could only create FAT partition with GUID.
If you format it in DU as GPL/GUID you will see 200MB EFI at the head, and 128MB between partitions.
And to use it as a normal Windows disk, choose GPL to create partitions.

    Brand new computer with Windows 8.1 will not sync to iPod Classic 120G.  Windows does not recognize anything but iPod Touch?  Is there a simple solution.  Diagnostics have run and failed to point to a fix.

    Might be worth tearing down the whole iTunes install and starting over...
    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    See also HT1925: Removing and Reinstalling iTunes for Windows XP or HT1923: Removing and reinstalling iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    Should you get the error iTunes.exe - Entry Point Not Found after the above reinstall then copy QTMovieWin.dll from:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
    and paste into:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes
    The above paths would be for a 64-bit machine. Hopefully the same fix with the " (x86)" omitted would work on 32-bit systems with the same error.

  • Brand New iPod. Windows Nightmare!!! HELP!!

    well my brand new 5th gen 30gb ipod video came today. I fired up the computer and put in the CD. Error: Windows ME not compatible. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I know there are driver and things i can use but here is my questoin.
    I might be getting XP in the next week or so... if i format my ipod with Windows ME (millenium edition) can i use it with itunes in XP later. Or is it one ipod per operating system?
    PLEASE HELP!!?!

    There never was a version of iTunes for Windows 98/ME, the first version of iTunes for Windows didn't come along until Windows 2000 so you would need third party software to use your iPod. You could look at the support pages for Anapod and XPlay however these are both commercial programs. If you are getting XP then I would suggest you wait rather than paying out for something you are only going to to use for a short time on ME:
    Anapod Explorer Windows 98/ME Support
    XPlay 2

  • Why won't my brand new computer with windows 8.1 download itunes

    fed up with issues between Apple and Microsoft.  My brand new Windows 8.1 notebook (replacing a trusty windows 7 netbook) doesn't allow me to download itunes.  Windows 7 managed without problem.  I am not particularly geek minded so can anyone tell me in simple words, how to down load itunes to Windows 8 and get my ipod working again please.  Thanks

  • Brand new HP Envy (windows 8) constantly crashes

    Hi,
    I just bought a HP envy audio desktop (i7, windows 8) 2 weeks ago. After a few hours, it crashes with no reason. Since it was a brand new, we didn't have time to install anything on it, so it is pretty "out-of-the-box". Crashes could appear many times a day, or nothing for 2 days. When it crashes, nothing responds anymore: no mouse, no keyboard, no CTRL ALT SUPP. So I guess it is an hardware issue. When it crashes, we need to shut it down with the on/off button and start it over.
    It can happen reading a video with VLC or simply just surfing on the web or watching pics.
    Since we thought it was a hardware issue, we brought it back to the reseller after one week to have a brand new computer (same model)  since yesterday. Then we have now the same issues (sudden crash).
    We bought a high quality PC, so expensive one, from a recognize company, we expected that buying a more than 1000$ computer will ensure to be able to start using it quite immediately.
    Hope to have an answer quickly.
    Regards.

    Guiguy,
    Welcome to the HP Forum!
    You want to spend the time to set up the computer entirely.  This is not an "HP" thing -- this is true for any computer.
    Not only is the computer in need of Windows Updates the first time you turn it on, this is going to be true for the first few days -- LOTS of updates.
    You MAY need to check with the computer's webpage and see if there are any updates for the HP software.  There might be a couple of HP drivers that need updating if the computer spent some time on the store shelf before being purchased.
    Things to check include whatever programs are in the Start Menu -- that is, programs that Start when the computer is booted.  Some programs / software packages do very well when started from the desktop or from the Start Screen; the same programs may not do so well as "Start Up" programs that execute as soon as the computer is booted.
    Sometimes the problem is not the "Start" programs, but just a program that you are using that "should be fine" but is not FINE and is hanging and hogging the cpu, the network, the disk -- something.  You can check the Task Manager to see what is running and how much resource it is consuming. 
    If your computer is underpowered, that is, you bought a big computer with say, 4GB of ram (memory), then you are not going to be happy.  Windows 7 is a resource HOG - Windows 8 is better, but it is not a "tiny OS".
    If you are connected to the Internet and you are not well protected, your computer than be infected almost as soon as you start surfing the 'net.  Make sure your Internet Security software is switched on and working.
    Sometimes all it takes is to make sure the BIOS is set to defaults.

  • Can someone please tell me how to format a new disk to ZFS format?

    I have a Sun v240 with Solaris 10 update 8 installed on a single 73GB harddisk. Everything is working fine. I just purchased a another identical harddisk online. I plugged the disk into my v240 and ran 'devfsadm' and solaris found the new disk. I want to add this disk to my existing ZFS pool as a mirror. However, this disk was originally formatted with a UFS file system. So when I run:
    zpool attach rpool c1t0d0 c1t1d0I get:
    /dev/dsk/c1t1d0s0 contains a ufs filesystem.I understand the error message but I don't know how to format the disk to have a ZFS file system instead. Note that I am extremely new to Solaris, ZFS, and pretty much everything Sun - I bought this server on eBay so that I could learn more about it. It's been pretty fun so far but need some help here and there.
    For some reason I can't find a single hit on Google telling me how to just simply format a disk to ZFS. Can I use the 'format' command? Maybe you don't "format" disks for ZFS? I have no idea. I might not have the right terminology. If so, apologies. Can anyone help me on this?
    Thanks a lot! =D

    Yes, you were right. The partitions were totally different. Here is what I saw:

    # prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0 | fmthard -s - /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0
    fmthard:  New volume table of contents now in place.Then I rechecked the partition table for c1t1d0:
    # format

      0       root    wm       0 - 14086       68.35GB    (14087/0/0) 143349312

      7 unassigned    wu       0                0         (0/0/0)             0Woo-hoo!! It matches the first disk now! :)
    Then I tried to attach the new disk to the pool again:
    # zpool attach -f rpool c1t0d0s0 c1t1d0s0
    Please be sure to invoke installboot(1M) to make 'c1t1d0s0' bootable.
    Make sure to wait until resilver is done before rebooting.

    Then, after resilvering completed I ran:
    # installboot -F zfs /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/zfs/bootblk /dev/rdsk/c1t1d0s0I think I'm starting to understand this now. I also shutdown the server to the OpenBoot prompt and booted off of the new disk and it worked! Also, my bootup time to login has drastically decreased - I would say it's about half the time it was before I added the mirror disk. So I believe the server is properly reading from both disks simultaneously in order to get better bandwidth. Cool! :)
    Thanks for the help!

  • Brand new Pavillion Slimline Windows 7 - audio distorted - Realtek HD drivers not working?

    Just got a brand new Windows 7 box - HP Pavillion slimline
    the audio is distorted - you especially hear it when using the CPU - so if I'm playing a track in iTunes, and i open my Chrome browser with 5 tabs, I get a ton of distortion in the audio.
    This distortion is regardless of output - external speakers or headphones.
    And regardless of program - itunes, WMP, etc.
    I have tried installing older and newer versions of the Realtek HD driver from the HP site, and the latest windows 7 version from the Realtek site to no avail.
    I have also tried running the latest Realtek driver from their site in compatibility mode for Windows Vista SP2 - no good.
    What can I do to solve this?? I called HP tech support and they have no other ideas! Help!

    I have registered only to help you hehe. I uninstalled NORTON ANTIVIRUS and all my sound problems disappeared like MAGIC Try it!

    Hello all, I figured I'd join in.....sorry, no help here, I am also looking for an answer. I too have a 5G 60GB and it was formatted for Mac, I tried accessing it through xplay2 in Itunes and accidently updated it (Windows XP.) Now it just runs in a continuous loop of rebooting itself, most likely until the battery dies???....doesn't look good for the home team... any beta would be appreciated.

  • How to Format an External Drive for Windows-only

    I'm a mac user, and I'm selling a used external hard drive on eBay. I want to offer to format it correctly if a Windows user buys it, and I don't want to assume newbie eBay people will have the knowledge/interest in formatting themselves.
    Will "MS-DOS (FAT)" work perfectly fine for a modern Windows user? If not, is there some other way I can format this thing on my end?

    Thanks, Niel and Bob
    I found s/w called Tuxera NTFS for Mac allowing you to format NTFS on a Mac. Costs $31 but there's a 15 day free trial.
    There's also a freeware app floating around out there using MacFuse and NTFS-3G, but there are conflicting reports on Mavericks compatibility and overall reliability.

  • How do I format my new ipod for windows?

    I already have itunes 7 on my computer. I have read that the ipods come formatted for a mac, and you need to format them for windows. I have read about opening the updater. The updated is not listed as a program on my computer. I also would not want to run the updater and accidentally update the firmware. Some posts have said you just need to plug in the new ipod and it works. I do not expect to be that lucky.

  • How to open a new pop-up window on click of a link using OAFunctions

    Hi ,
    I have a requirement to open a new pop-window on click of the responsibility name(functions available under responsibilities). The current URL /link is driven using OAFunctions.
    Any idea, how can i open a new window while still keeping the parent window as it is?
    Regards
    Puja

    This can be achieved, you need to first create the javascript function which will open the popup and add that to the HomePage through and then call that function during onLoad of the HomePage. Here is a code sample,
    1. Extend the page level controller and write a new controller
    2. Write the following code in processRequest before calling super.
    StringBuffer popupScript = new StringBuffer("function customPopUp() { ");
    popupScript.append("newWindow = window.open(theURL,'newWindow','toolbar=no,menubar=no,resizable=no,scrollbars=no,status=no,location=no,width=300,height=500);}");
    pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("customPopUp", new String(popupScript));
    OABodyBean bodyBean = pageContext.getRootWebBean();
    bodyBean.setOnLoad("customPopUp");
    3. Use personalization to replace the existing controller with your extended controller and the popup should be launched whenever you enter the homepage.
