How to install from hard disk

i have the mac os x tiger on my hard disk , but no startup disc due to the fact that i had to reinstall my os while repartioning my drive. my question is how do i make a startup disk, or choose to install from the hard drive spot?

my question is how do i make a startup disk...If your iMac shipped with Tiger, boot from the Tiger DVD or the iMac restore disc and reinstall.

How to install external Hard Disk Drive

I don't know if it is a good idea or even if there are other options, but I need to know how to install a GreenDrive ex. hard disk with out screwing everythinp up. Please help

do you mean one of these: http://www.fantomdrives.com/products/greendrive.htm ?
if so, just plug it into your Mac using the USB or, if you have it on your Mac, the eSATA interface and the drive should show up on your Mac's desktop.

Arch install from hard disk(without boot-cd)

I was refering to this page to install Arch from the 0.7 base.iso without writing the ISO file to a cd. I use grub-0.94 and placed the following lines in 'menu.1st':
title archcd
root (hd0,7)
kernel /isolinux/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda7 BOOTMEDIA=cd
initrd /isolinux/initrd.img
I formatted /dev/hda7 as a 250 MB partition with ext2, which grub correctly identified(I had some problems with this, but Pechorin helped me out), and then used the 'dd' command to copy the iso to this partition.
But on booting, grub identifies the partition correctly but does not seem to be able to find any files on the partition(I went into the command line since selecting from the menu did not work, but it still gives the same error)
Error 15: File/Directory not found

I've never tried this before, and I only briefly read that Arch wiki you mention. However, why can't you just use the "loop" device to mount the .iso file and run it from there?
mount -t iso9660 -o ro,loop /path/wombat(?).iso /mnt/cdrom
Then, install from `/mnt/cdrom` as if it were a CD. I don't understand the necessity for all that other stuff. I mount .iso files all the time using the loop device. It's only when I need to modify the .iso itself will I copy the .iso contents to a temp directory (or partition). I don't see why you would need to modify the .iso contents, since it's just emulating a CD anyway.

VirtualBox from hard disk, nvidia glx conflict

Howdy folks, I recently started getting into arch linux and set it up for dual booting. Being a graphics engine developer for multiple platforms I began to work on adding support for linux.
What I was trying to set up was so that I can use VirtualBox to load my arch install from hard disk, which I have gotten running, so that I can use virtual box to test if things work when developing simultaneously for windows, and boot over to arch for performance optimization type stuff.
The problem I am having however is that in VirtualBox I can not get the glx extensions to load, looking at the log file it's definitely trying to load the nvidia glx extensions. My PC has an Nvidia Geforce 9600GT, so for proper support in arch I of course installed the drivers for it.
As per suggested in the wiki I removed the xorg.conf (actually just renamed it), along with a few other files in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d that were causing problems in virtual box (mainly the 20-nvidia.conf file). I have verified it does boot into arch with full 3D support as it did when the xorg.conf was in place. But still having the problems getting the glx extension to load when inside VirtualBox.
I would greatly appreciate any help ya'll can provide, being able to load my arch install from virtual box would make developing this graphics engine of mine so much easier. But I still want to be able to boot into arch. Having to use a VirtualBox instance booting from a virtual hard disk is a real pain since it add to the places I need to sync up source code.

I think you misunderstood ngoonee. Just trying to get open gl working from within virtual box, I know it's only serving as a layer over the graphics stuff.
The problem however is that to allow gpu acceleration when I boot into it, the nvidia driver will need to remain there. But it appears the glx in the nvidia driver will not play nice with what virtual box needs.
Idea is to use the same arch install for both virtual box and the dual boot.

Satellite A110 does install from recovery disk but HDD not displayed

Hi guys,
after searching the net I've finally found a forum in which I hope you can help me.
I've tried to search this forum for an anwser but couldn't find it.
I have a toshiba satellite a110 -159 which after a sudden stop didn't boot up.
chkdsk did discover a lot of problems when I connected the hard drive to another pc, but the laptop still couldn't boot from the disk.
anyways, I copied the most important data and remounted the disk in the laptop. with the product recovery discs I managed to reinstall windows xp media center installation, but after the first reboot, the laptopt didn't find the hard disk, it is not displayed in the bios.
strange though that the recovery discs did install... anyone knows how to relist the hard disk in the bios? it was listed there before the reinstall of windows xp mc... :( so it's like it did something with the bios or so.
hope you guys know what's wrong with this one.
thnx in advance!
Edit:
the disk is accessible when placed in another system or desktop system with convertor, and copies and works just fine.

I've solved it
opened the laptop and shortened the battery located on the motherboard (couldn't detach it because it was soldered).
the short reset the bios and it found the disk again
very weird though, but it works all fine now.
hope this helps anyone else if they got the same :)

HT1338 how to format my hard disk

how to format my hard disk ....my mac book came with no cds

You do this either with a Mountain Lion install disc or drive, which you have to make yourself, or from the Recovery System. For the Recovery System, you reboot while holding down command-R. This boots from a (hidden) recovery partition that is on your hard drive; then you access Disk Utility and do your formatting that way. The Recovery system can do a new install of Mountain Lion from the internet from apple once you have reformatted your drive. Or you can make a ML installer disk from the installer files that you download for future reference.
Here's a page about Recovery mode: OS X: About OS X Recovery
and here's how to make your own ML installer disk: How to Burn OS X Mountain Lion to a DVD or USB Flash Drive..
BTW, you could have figured out all this yourself with a google search.

Noise from hard disk

Hi, everyone.
I bought a new mackbook pro in this Jan. Recently, I hear some not continuously noise from hard disk, especially when i open a file in hard disk or verify the hard disk. Is something wrong with my hard disk?
Thanks

This hard disk clicking is a know problem for many laptops. If you search it on Google, you will find a lot of discussions about it in the Unbuntu Linux forums. In most cases, it is due to the Advanced Power Management (APM) feature of notebook hard drives. The default APM settings of these drives are aggressive so as to extend notebook battery life. As a consequence, the HD tries to park its actuator head to the ramp whenever it judges the system as idle. However, OS X or some third-party applications may access the hard disk quite often, resulting in a park/unpark cycle every few seconds.
Every of these cycles is counted as one load/unload cycle. Most notebook drives support up to 600,000 load/unload cycles. If a hard drive parks its head every few seconds, it may shorten its life by "using up" the cycles more quickly.
I had the same problem on my Powerbook with a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 80GB PATA drive. I heard the frequent clicking sound right after I installed it into the laptop. The SMART status appeared to be Verified, and there was no problem with the drive itself. After searching on Google and Hitachi web site, I found the causes and solved the problem using the Hitachi Feature Tool. For other HD brands, I have no experience at all.
Basically, Travelstar 5K160 drives have three idle modes, from which a user can set one as the deepest idle state:
1) Active Idle: the actuator head is parked near the center of the disk, and power usage is 45-55% less than performance level. Recovery time to active mode is about 20ms.
2) Low Power Idle: this is usually the factory default idle mode. The head is UNLOADED to the ramp and the power consumption is 60-65% less than the performance level. Recovery time is about 300ms.
3) Low RPM idle: in this idle mode, the hard disk will spin down to a lower RPM speed. More power is saved but recovery time is much longer. (I can hear the disk spin down and spin up again a few times per minute. There is also a lag in system reaction time.)
To get rid of the hard disk clicking, you need to set Active Idle as the deepest APM idle mode. To do it on a Hitachi hard disk, you need Hitachi Feature Tool, and a Windows laptop with the same HD interface as your drive (PATA or SATA). Sadly, the feature tool is only for Windows and Linux.
You can download Hitachi Feature Tool 2.10 as an ISO image here: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#FeatureTool and burn it into a bootable CD. The userguide of the tool is available on the same page.
Then, take out your hard drive from your Macbook and install it into a Windows laptop. Boot the machine using the Feature Tool bootable CD. Choose "Change Advanced Power Mode" from the drop-down menu.
The default value is 128 (Low Power Idle). Just increase the value toward Performance, until you see the APM mode over the value bar becomes Active Idle (starting from 192). Click OK and Exit the feature tool. Switch off the Windows laptop and take out the hard disk. Install it into your Macbook. You will not hear the clicking sound again when system is idle. The lowest APM mode will be Active Idle and hence the drive will not park its head to the ramp during operions.
If your hard drive is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160, you can find the 5K160 specifications version 1.1 from Hitachi web site. On page 69 of the document, it explains the APM idle modes. On page 145 about the register values of the APM modes.
To set Active Idle as the deepest idle mode may adversely affect battery life. (I haven't yet tested it myself) However, there seem not to be a big difference than the Low Power Idle, according to the datasheet of 5K160. For this model, power consumption of Active Idle is 0.8W, while that of Low Power Idle is 0.6W, on average.
Hope this is helpful.

Cannot delete files from hard disk (after deleting from playlists)!

all of a sudden itunes stopped allowing me to automatically delete (with the warning) a downloaded podcast so I would have to go to the hard disk manually to delte the posdcast.
How do I get the system back to what it was where I delete a podcast and then get the warning and say ok to delete from hard disk?
TIA!

Hi Chris:
2 part response:
I founf the problem--somehow my itunes folder was moved to a different part of my hard drive--once I moved it back I can delete.
I can delete as follows: when I right click and click on delete, I first delete the file from itunes library--then I get prompted if I want to delete from my hard disk by sending file to recycle bin--There is also a prompt if I do not want to see the warning--which I have on as a safety precaution. So I bet the default could remove from playlist and send file to recycle bin in one move.

How to upgrade the hard disk of the nomad jukebox

I read the FAQ of nomad on nomadness.net, I wanna know how to upgrade the hard disk of old nomad jukebox with a bigger one?
I also read a artical on tom's hardware about this,
http://www7.tomshardware.com/mobile/20000/mp3-3.html
but he gave a link
http://www.kuren.org/jukebox
that is not available. He mentioned that it need to clone the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk to the new one, but I have not the old hard disk( I bought a second hand nomad jukebox without the original hard disk). How should I do?
Does someone have the image file of the fist 65536 sectors from the old disk?
Thank you!

That was the old method before Creative published their Bootcode Flasher software.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.nomadness.net/modules.php...ticle&artid=24
All files mentioned are available somewhere on Nomadness. Also check out the sticky thread in their JB section of the forum as it lists what hard dri'ves will work in a JB and which ones won't. I hope you haven't already bought your upgrade hard dri've.
I used the above method without any problems and now have a 20GB JB.

IWork is not working on Yosemite after a fresh install from the disk

Hi,
I've freshly install yosemite on my computer.
I first reinstalled my computer with original Snow Leopard and then made the upgrade to Yosemite.
After that I used the Migration Assistant to transfert my old applications.
Most of them are now running perfectly but I'm still facing issues with iWork.
It refuses to launch with a message error saying that "Pages" for example is not working with this version of Mac OS and I should make al available update.
There are indeed updates available from the App store but I can't download them because it is not available for my apple ID because someone else bought it or I cancelled the buying ?!
It's strange because I bought it with my Macbook Pro in 2010 and even after a fresh install from the disk, the message is still the same...
Any idea how to unlock these updates?

Actually this doesn't explain everything.
I finally reinstalled Snow Leopard / iWork 09' and then upgraded to Yosemite and everything is working like a charm.
This issue has something to do with the use of the "Application migration tool" from Mac Os X Yosemite to collect old applications to the new os from another installation...
I solved my issue this way because I don't have very valuable applications that I want to transfert but for other users, this could be a real issue...
Thanks a lot for your answer

Installing New Hard Disk

I started my G4 one day and all I got was the bong and a complete gray screen. It couldn't find the startup disk. I assume my hard disk has crashed.
I would like to purchase a new one and install it myself. Will I lose all of the personal information that is stored on my G4?
I have never installed a hard disk and wonder if there is anything else I need to do before attempting this installation?

Do you have your OSX install Discs?
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
I would like to purchase a new one and install it myself.
Here's the type you need for internal to the AGP...
http://eshop.macsales.com/search/3.5InternalIDE/ATA
Note, you'll only be able to use 128-132GB of any drive.
Another option would be a Firewire Drive without the limitation...
http://eshop.macsales.com/search/firewire+drives
Will I lose all of the personal information that is stored on my G4?
Unknown, but it may be possible to recover it, especially if you get a big Firewire 400 Drive.
You must repair the HD, if Disk Utility or fsck should fail to repair it, your best bet is DiskWarrior from Alsoft, you'll need the CD to boot from if you don't have another boot drive...
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/
Your best bet is DiskWarrior, you need the CD/DVD though.

But others that may work…

Let us know which way you decide to go, then we can be more explicit if need be.
