How to make slave drive

I am going to take my original 250gb hard drive (Power G5, 2.7) and make it into a second data drive. A new drive will be my OS drive. Do I have to set the original 250gb drive as a slave. How do I do that?

I answered this in your other post.
I think you'll do better asking once

How to make a driver using DLL in LabVIEW?

I had followed the "Using Exteranal Code in LabVIEW" manual having finished the making dll file, and the lsb file(I attempted that two ways). But when I load the code in LabVIEW, it can't work. I don't know what had happened, I only got a error message like this:"'0x100014f1'commond call memory'0x00000000',this memory can't be written" or other similar error message, if I push the "enter" button, the vi application which I having lunched will crash. If I push the "cancel" button, the debug model will start,and the next message is "Unhandle exception in LabVIEW.exe(MSVCRTD.DLL/LVS95.TMP/COUNTER.DLL(the last one is creat by myself)):0xC0000005:Access Violation", but I wonder what had cause this? My DLL had been made successf

1. Can you call this DLL from within VC?
2. What operation system do you use? There may be a problem with calling of win95 dll under NT or win2000 for example.
3. If you use NT you may not have permissions to work with some ports and memory areas.
4. Under NT or win200 try to compile the library as a 32-bit dll, and under win95 - as 16-bit one.
Good luck.

How to make Combo drive read DL DVDs?

As you see the question in Subject.
Thanks in advance,
Ivan

The combo drive in my first eMac (700 MHz) couldn't read DL DVDs either. It could read the first layer but skipped and got hung up when it got to the 2nd layer. A trip to an Apple Store and a call to tech support revealed that the drive in question was never intended to support DL, and well, too bad.
The point is, if your friend's drive is old enough, it simply may not support DL, and no amount of software finagling will make that capability appear in the hardware. Your only options are replacing the drive or adding one via FireWire, (or USB2 if the machine supports it).

How to make touchpad driver on probook 5220m working on ubuntu oneiric ?

I have installed ubuntu oneiric on probook 5220m but my touchpad does not fully functional and I also nable to toggle my touchpad on/off while typing and the cursor moves erratically all over the place causing problem when I work with documents. It work well on opensuse 11.4 including the led indicator on the top left of touchpad, but I was experiencing a lot of hang with opensuse 11.4 on a fresh install and having difficulty to login as normal user so I switch my OS to ubuntu oneiric with kernel 3.0.0.15. PLEASE HELP as the touchpad cause me a lot of trouble especially when I work with documents,
Thanks.

Actually, my clickpad have some functional which I think for basic use of clickpad is enough, but I get trouble when typing too fast because the disable/enable touchpad with LED indicator not working

How can I make a drive bootable without losing data on it?

Is there a way to make a second internal drive bootable without losing the data that is already on it?
The second drive was created under Panther 10.3.9. My main internal drive has had a clean install of Tiger 10.4.3. The second drive used to appear in the start up disk list when I was running 10.3.9 on the main drive. That is, it used to be bootable under 10.3.9. No kidding. After the main drive was given a clean install of Tiger, the second drive disappeared from the start up disk list. Please note: the second drive remains completely accessible when I am running off the main drive in 10.4.3. I can even use the few applications I had placed on the drive. It appears as separate drive under disk utility.
I assume the second drive was installed as slave. (Both it and the main drive were independently bootable under 10.3.9.) It is not locked. "Ignore ownership" is not checked. The system has read-write privileges. Admin has read-write all others are read only. I am the only person who has access to this machine. It is not networked.
I tried to ask this question a few days ago, but I think the way I phrased it confused the issue. My real question is NOT how did this get like this? It is can I make a drive bootable when it already has data on it?
Thanks
G4 Panther & Tiger Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
You replied:
the drive that you cannot
boot from is a separate physical hard drive from the
internal drive with 10.4.3. Is that correct?
Yes.
Have you used System Preferences > Startup Disk and
looked to see if the 10.3.9 system shows up there?
Yes, I have looked and it's not there.
I got the impression that you have backed up the 10.3.9
disk and that you do not really need the data there.
Yes, I backed up a drive that was bootable, but then it lost its "bootabilty" and what I got was two non-bootable drives--the original second internal drive that I'm asking about and the back-up of it. I want the data on the drive and I wan the drive to be bootable.
One thing that you might try when you are booted off
your 10.4.3 system is to use Disk Utility, select the
other disk and do a Repair Disk.
Done that and it says there is no problem. Nada. Zero. It just won't boot, no more, no how, no way. BUT it remains fully accessible--I can access all my info. It's just become a storage drive that cannot be booted. Go figure.
reformatting means
destroying the data on the disk.
Yup, which is why I asked my original question. Does anyone know if there is any way to make a drive bootable without destroying the data on it?
I suspect the answer is no (given these particulars), but I thought some wise super-techie out there might have a trick up their sleeve.

How do can I use Jumpstart to boot Solaris from Slave Drive

Hi all,
I have XP on Master Drive and I used Jumpstart to install Solaris on Slave Drive.
This is the profile:
install_type     initial_install
system_type     standalone
usedisk          c0d1
boot_device      c0d1 update
root_device     c0d1s0
fdisk           c0d1 solaris all
partitioning     explicit
filesys          c0d1s0 10000 /
filesys          c0d1s1 1111 swap
filesys          c0d1s7 free /export/home
cluster          SUNWCreq
Now, I specified that the boot_device is c0d1 but after the installation the boot device is c0d0 which is my Master Drive...
...when I use Windows Boot Manager to boot Solaris... it cannot find the boot files on the master drive so it runs the DCA...
... so under the DCA I have to tell Solaris that the boot files are in my Slave Drive then I save it.
...I don't want to make this change everytime
any ideas that would make this install hands free?

...don't know the answer to that but here is an alternative:
... use this as your finish script
... it changes the bootpath in bootenv.rc to point to the slave drive
#!/usr/bin/perl
open(INFILE,"/a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc");
open(OUTFILE,">/a/boot/solaris/bootenv.rc_out");
while(<INFILE>) {
chomp;
#--cmdk@0,0 is the master drive
#--cmdk@1,0 is the slave drive
s/cmdk\@0\,0/cmdk\@1\,0/g;
print OUTFILE "$_\n";
#...replace bootenv.rc_out with bootenv.rc
...happy programming

How to get a Power Mac G4 to boot in slave drive (firewire) mode?

Have tried every trick in the book to get my G4 (dual 450, OSX 10.4.9) to boot as a firewire slave drive. (Want it to be a firewire driver for a new Mac Mini.)
Machine refuses to restart in that mode even if I select that startup mode from System Preferences.
Have also tried holding down the "T" key upon reboot. Machine begins to cycle up, then shuts down after about 15 seconds. I am using the keyboard that came with the machine when I attempt this.
Have read that some software (called OPEN OPTIONS) may be installed in Utilities folder. This app can be used to prevent someone from starting the Mac in "T" mode. However, the default is OFF. Further, there's no copy of that software anywhere on the machine. Further, I've done a clean reinstall and booted from that drive but it, too, refuses to boot in slave mode.
Only thing I can figure is the SONNET ATA/133 card is interfering. (Cannot remove it as it enables the 250GB drives I want to share in the first place.)
Any thoughts or ideas?

I've bought Lion USB Thumb Drive, how to make a backup of it?

hi i've bought the Lion USB Thumb Drive because my internet connection is super super slow.
now, the Lion USB Thumb Drirve arrived is super small and fragile because it's a Mini-B type USB connector, with all the metal exposed.
So I try to make a backup copy of it onto another USB drive.
wondering anyone know how to do it?
all the internet resourse I can find only teach how to make a USB from the downloaded version, but I don't have the downloaded version, so the method taught doesn't work because there is no "InstallESD.dmg" inside it.
any solution will be greatly appreciated.
many thanks in advance.

After you install Lion, use: Lion Recovery Disk Assistant
It's not the Install Disk, but it has the ability to Install Lion OS X
You can also try:
Open up Disk Utility and Click on the "Restore" tab, choose the Apple Lion Install USB as the source and your flash drive as the destination. Hit the Apply button and it may create a bootable USB drive. (the flash drive must be formatted as GUID)

HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite?

How to make iTunes recognize the music library in my external hard drive after instaIling Yosemite? I tried re-setting the media folder location, but it didn't work. What else should I do?

The issue is not related to the external drive. iTunes Match has difficulties matching tracks ripped fom CDs because they may differ slightly from the versions on sale in iTunes. You can try the match again. Otherwise do a search of this forum. There are already many discussions on this subject here that may help you.

How to make udev load ALSA driver automaticly?

I have added " modprobe snd-via82xx " (ALSA driver) to /etc/profile.d/mysh.sh, and I could use almost every multimedia software except mp3blaster.
But after I installed udev, the udev load "via82cxxx_audio" (OSS driver) automaticly instead of snd-via82xxx. mp3blaster can work now, but the esd output plug-in of XMMS could not work, so did stardict (is here anyone have ever used it?).
I modprobe snd-via82xxx manually, but have no use.
How to make OSS and ALSA work parallelly? And, how to make udev load ALSA automacticly instead of OSS?

I have knew this method. What I mean is that the udev load OSS driver at boot. Although I modprobe the ALSA driver, my software (stardict) can not play a wav sound (Other software can).
I wants udev NOT to load OSS driver at boot. Or, it is the best, make OSS and ALSA work parallelly,

HT1338 how to make space on startup drive?

how to make space on start up drive?

Use http://monolingual.sourceforge.net/ to remove unwanted languages - DO NOT remove anything else with it.
Install http://links.zero.eu.org/os-x/period/ to clear out very old log files etc
Paste the following into open Terminal (in Utilities) window and then hit return - give password when asked and hit return again - takes a while but it will list your 100 largest files:
cd / ; sudo du -caxk .[!.]* *| sort -rn | head -100
Keep backups on an external drive.
Put photos on DVDs and not your Mac.
