HP Mini 1137NR hard disk question: is MK8034GAL compatible?

My Mini 1137NR hard disk is damaged, it's MK8025GAL 80G, but I can only find MK8034GAL, is it compatible with my Mini?

If it is the original OS it is more likely to be 32-bit.
There should be a sticker on the mini that has a product name and product number.
You can make a Windows 7 32 bit usb installer to use that will let you access startup repair. Use the Microsoft store's free Windows 7 USB\ DVD download utility to do that.
Here is a link to a Windows 7 32-bit ISO. You can burn it to a DVD or use a virtual DVD utility to mount it while making the USB installer.
I can find a video that demonstrates how to make the usb installer, if needed.

Dropped Frames in Viewer, and Hard Disk Questions

Hi,
I'm new to FCE (v3.5.1) having just upgraded from iMovie. I'm on a 2GHz Core Duo MacBook with 2GB RAM. I have a 120GB internal drive that has 16GB free. In my initial use of FCE, I've run into two problems.
(1) I'm finding that frames are regularly dropped during playback in the Viewer - as much as half the time. The same video clips playback flawlessly in iMovie and in Quicktime. These frames are on my MacBook's internal hard disk and are each roughly a minute in length.
I should note that these clips were exported from iMovie (I copied them out of an iMovie project file / package). Might this be causing the problem?
(2) Also, I'm finding that the audio playback of these clips (that were copied from the iMovie package) is okay in the Viewer but not in the Canvas (I hear beeping) -- I found mention that the audio format of iMovie and FCE are different, so I expect I need to reimport these clips anyway. Is there an easy way around this?
(3) I know I said two problems, but number 3 is a question, not a problem! Given my hardware setup described above, should I be able to get away with working with the clips located on an external Firewire hard disk? Or should I only work with clips located on my internal drive. Similarly, can I effectively work with a scratch disk that is external FW, or should I keep that on my internal drive?
Thanks in advance,
Tim

(1) I'm finding that frames are regularly dropped during playback in the Viewer - as much as half the time. The same video clips playback flawlessly in iMovie and in Quicktime. These frames are on my MacBook's internal hard disk and are each roughly a minute in length.
Need to know info more about the clips from iMovie.
Clips coming into FCE need to match the Sequence settings. This is set up before a Project begins using the Easy Setups. My guess is there is a mis-match.
2) Also, I'm finding that the audio playback of these clips (that were copied from the iMovie package) is okay in the Viewer but not in the Canvas (I hear beeping) -- I found mention that the audio format of iMovie and FCE are different, so I expect I need to reimport these clips anyway. Is there an easy way around this?
The work around is to render, Command+R or Sequence>Render All from the menu.
iMovie uses DV Stream and is a multiplexed format whereas FCE uses DV. The QuickTime files that FCE likes has the audio seperate from the video allowing them to be edited with or without the video.
3) I know I said two problems, but number 3 is a question, not a problem! Given my hardware setup described above, should I be able to get away with working with the clips located on an external Firewire hard disk? Or should I only work with clips located on my internal drive. Similarly, can I effectively work with a scratch disk that is external FW, or should I keep that on my internal drive?
Using FCE an External firewire is a much better option than your internal.
Search this forum for Canon/LaCie, most users get in strife with this combo. Most other stuff seems fine.

USB Hard Disk Question (Format Type)

Hi,
I've bought a 500GB Hard Disk which I'd like to use for editing.
The Hard Disk works fine and I can Log and Transfer small video files ok. The problem occurs when I want to capture large video files. These always seem to error. The same large video files work fine if I capture straight to my iMac's internal Hard Disk.
I think the problem occurs when the video is greater than 4GB. Could this be related to the Format type of the USB Hard Disk?
If so how should I re-format the drive to work with large video files? And how do I do this on a Mac?
Thanks,
Richard.

A USB drive will not cut it for video editing. You will get dropped frames, either when editing or capturing to it. USB transfers data in bursts, not a continuous stream as FireWire does. Wile it might not be happening right now, it will once you start filling it up, having multiple tracks in FCP, etc.
Your drive came preformatted for Windows, as do most of them. The FAT file structure used has an individual file size limit of 4GB.
To reformat as for the Mac OS, use Disk Utility (In the Applications/Utilities folder).
Open Disk Utility.
Select the drive in the column at left.
Click on Erase and choose Mac OS Extended, click the Erase button at bottom right to confirm.
This will of course, destroy all files currently on the drive. Back up first!
For best results, recapture your video again.

Beginner's hard disk question

Hello,
At the moment I have a 2 TB green WD internal hard disk. If three disks is the minimum requirement, can I add a 1 TB caviar black WD or is the green useless for video editing, which means I should get 2x 1TB caviar black WD?
Thanks,
Bert

Green 5400 RPM drives do not work with video editing
My 3 hard drives are configured as...
1 - 320Gig Boot for Win7 64bit Pro and all program installs
2 - 320Gig data for Win7 paging swap file and video project files
When I create a project on #2 drive, the various work files follow,
so my boot drive is not used for the media cache folder and files
3 - 1Terabyte data for all video files... input & output files (*)
(*) for 4 drives, drive 3 all source files & drive 4 all output files
Search Microsoft to find out how to redirect your Windows paging swap file

External Hard Disks Windows And Mac Compatible

I have recently bought an external hard disk, which I plan to have one 80gb partition onto which I can do regular backups of my mac hard disk onto, and then the other 220 or so just for data storage. however I want to have the 220gb readable by both macs and PC's, and the 80gb as bootable by OS X (I am doing a complete Hard disk clone onto the external disk)
anyone have any ideas

If you looked at Disk Utility [...]
I didn't mention Disk Utility at all. You do know that Disk Utility is just a simplified GUI front-end for the full functionality provided by diskutil, don't you? This does not make diskutil any less "officially supported".
Furthermore, the Mac OS X hints article is probably
not supported by Apple and therefore I didn't mention
it. I'm not in the habit of going against Apple
policies. Especially while I'm still under their
warranty.
I have no idea what are you talking about here. Is this just FUD or what? Of course it is not "officially supported". Neither are many other useful hints provided at that website or elsewhere. So what? In no way does that mean that it cannot be done, not even that it shouldn't be done. Just do it at your own risk, there is nothing legally or ethically wrong about doing it.
Had you just advised the OP not to do that, I would have had no problem with it, and wouldn't have "corrected" you. But that's not what you said. What you said is wrong and had to be corrected, it's as simple as that.
I did Google what you asked and didn't find any
relevant articles.
I wonder what did you Google for and whether you did actually read anything you found. These are just from the first 20 results I get:

If you have a solution why not you just explain it
Because it's not a simple solution and it's much better explained by providing a link to the web page where it's fully discussed by people who have actually tried it and compared it to other approaches. You're not trying to make me believe this is a bad idea, are you?
instead of trying to correct another poster.
Oh, man! You were wrong and had to be corrected. You're not saying that correcting someone who posts wrong information is a bad idea, are you?
Why have you chosen to take this personally I don't know, but I urge you to keep this discussion in strictly technical terms and support your assertions with facts, which as of now you've not done yet -- not that it has stopped you from requiring me to do it, despite I clearly had already done it, though.
It should be your intent to help the OP, not to try and
correct another poster, even if it didn't work.
Abe, I really urge you to calm down and re-read what you're saying. Correcting wrong assertions is part of helping the OP, isn't it?
Now, if you really think you were right when you said "There is not a way to have two partitions on a disk with one being Mac OS X format and one being Windows format", please support your assertion with facts and keep the discussion in technical terms instead of just telling me I shouldn't correct you. And yes, I will accept links to publicly accessible web pages that support your assertion as facts and won't require you to explain them.

"Clean up hard disk" question.

i am working through windows vista, step by step manual. i have a question about system and maintenance > administration tools > free up disk space (also called "disc cleanup").
i wish to cleanup my hard drive to free up space and improve performance using this feature.
i am at the diologue box where you check the files you no longer need, or where not deleted upon a programs conclusion.
anyway, i want to check one box for "temporary files" that amount to 8 gigabytes of memory.
how do you know if it is safe to do this?
could i be deleting something important?
should i just leave it be?
i consulted windows vista help on this, and it said you can safely delete temporary files that have not been modified in over a week.
however, i see no listing of dates in the diologe/check box page.
any ideas anyone?

HP Mini 1030NR - Hard Drive Question

Right now I have the 16GB SSHD in my netbook. It seems kind of sluggish.
Is there anyway for me to upgrade the hard drive to a HDD instead of the SSHD?

I have the same HP mini 1030nr 16GB SSD. It was also very sluggish.
After I installed an SSD accelerator (FlashFire09c), it becomes very usable and is comparable to my Toshiba M70 100GB HDD.
In fact, the time from cold-boot to load-up internet browser is less than 50 sec. Much faster in most applications except those are CPU intensive.
If you like, visit the site and try for yourself.

IMO. It is no point to upgrade this model to HDD.

Hard disk questions

Today I realised that my 500Gb harddisk had its used space increased from 250GB to 480GB over one night!
I did not copy or duplicate folders and this is baffling me. But I have been having problems with my emails that keep on crashing when i connect to it via IMAP
A quick check with OmniDiskSweeper shows that I have same folders and files in /Volumes and /Users...
what actually happened and can someone help me to fix it pls?

Hard disk question

Hello,
Please advise...Is it necessary and how does one defragment a Sata hdd in an iMac G5?
Many thanks,

iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.8)

Defragmentation is handled by Mac OS X 10.3 or newer for slow-growing files, and doesn't need to be done manually; more information is available in this article.

IMac 24" + 2 daisy-chained bus-powered external hard disks: possible?

Hello everyone,
I have a 24" iMac and two G-Drive Mini external hard disks. Currently, one of the disks is connected to the FW 800 port, and the other to a USB port. Each is powered by it's respective bus. I would love to have the use of the USB port for other purposes. Is it possible to daisy chain both drives to the FW 800 port without an external power supply?
If not, can I power one drive on the FW 800 bus, and the other with an external supply, or must I use two external power supplies? Does it matter which device, first or last in the daisy chain, is powered by the external supply?
Thanks in advance . . .

Hi Captain Spalding
The iMac's FireWire port supports 7 watt.
http://support.apple.com/kb/SP507
Check the ratings of both the Mini G-Drives and add that together? If it is over 5 watts, then I would suggest using the external power supply on at least the first drive in the chain.
The power has to come from somewhere and personally to keep the power demand on the iMac as low as possible, I use external power with all of my desktop FireWire Drives.

I would like to use removable hard disk drive (portable hard disk) for iphone because of many data, report and so on. I want to receive data for e-mail, so the iphone holds large amounts of data for a long time, and i want to use its at any time

nowadays, people use removable hard disk drive (portable hard disk) & usb flash drive at computer because of usability, easy to carry around.
so, i would like to use these functions for iphone. i want to develop mini portable hard disk for the use of iphone like computer

Not a feature of iphone.

I currently have a MAC Mini, which has 1 Firewire 800 port. I have a 1TB external hard disk that runs at Firewire 400. Can I insert another external hard drive that runs at Firewire 800?

Here's the deal. Currently running SL 10.6.8 on a MAC Mini. Planning for eventual upgrade to ML. Have a 1TB external hard drive partitioned into two volumes, one volume for Time Machine and one volume for SL which I periodically update using Superduper. Thus I always have a point-in-time bootable backup on the external hard drive.
The MAC Mini supports Firewire 800. However, booting from my current external hard disk is pretty slow, since it only supports Firewire 400. I am considering buying an Iomega MiniMax which supports Firewire 800. Then, I would use the MiniMax as my bootable backup volume, and relegate the older hard drive to Time Machine.
So, question #1 is, can I daisychain the new MiniMax between the MAC Mini and my existing external hard drive? My expectation is that the new Mini Max would run using Firewire 800 and that the existing hard drive would run at Firewire 400 speed as it does today. If it doesn't (e.g., daisychaining in the Firewire 400 external disk with the MiniMax Firewire 800 external disk ends up running the whole leg at 400), my resolution will be to run the existing hard disk off an available USB port and have just the MiniMax running at Firewire 800.
Why am I going to all this trouble? That's question #2. I don't trust upgrades; they always break something. When I upgraded from 10.5.x to 10.6.x, the web directories got renamed, and all of my web apps 403'd until I figured out what happened. Plus, I have accounts for other family members, and in order to ensure their ability to use the computer during my upgrade process, I need to have the ability to fall-back quickly to a known-stable version of OSX. So what I'm trying to do is insulate myself from problems by partitioning the MiniMax into two volumes, taking a Superduper image of my current installation on the Mac Mini to MiniMax external drive volume 1, then upgrading to ML on the MAC Mini, and take a SuperDuper image of that to MiniMax external drive volume 2. Then, if the upgrade results in problems I can't resolve immediately, I can simply reimage the MAC Mini from MiniMax volume 1. BUT ...
... I've read that the ML installation creates a "service and support" partition that is different than the startup disk. I'm concerned that I won't be able to reimage the hard disk in the MAC Mini once I upgrade it to ML because of the partitioning changes it introduces on the startup disk. Theoretically, I +should+ be able to use the disk utility on my SL system to repartition the disk in the MAC Mini prior to reimaging it from my backup, but I'm considering the possibility that the new partition may be of a type that the SL disk utility cannot identify, and might therefore be unable to delete or even detect. So I'm hoping someone else has been down this road and can advise me. Even at Firewire 800 speeds, booting from an external disk is still going to be slow, so I want to be able to restore my SL image to the MAC Mini hard disk.
A little background on me. I work for a major disaster recovery provider. I used to have a Mac PRO G5, which I got used, and the first thing I did with it was install a second hard disk, SuperDupe an image from the first disk to the second, and made sure I could boot from the second. THEN I started using and customizing the MAC. I really feel vulnerable with the MAC Mini, since it only has the single internal hard drive - sort of like going out in public dressed only in a long T-shirt. So my whole thing is, I ABSOLUTELY MUST BE ABLE TO PUT THINGS BACK THE WAY THEY WERE before I do the migration to ML.
Obsessive-cumpulsive? Yep. Anal? You got it. That's why I'm in the DR business.

You may have overloaded the port, following the instructions below it should reset:
+1. Shut down the computer.+
+2. Disconnect all devices and all other cables, except the keyboard and mouse cable(s).+
+3. Disconnect the computer from the power outlet and wait for 3 to 5 minutes.+
+4. Plug the computer back in and turn it on.+
+5. Reconnect the device(s) (one at a time if there is more than one) and test. Test with each port if you have more than one.+

Hard disk not detected - powerpc mini

I bought my powerpc mini back in 2005 and had no problems until recently. One night my (less than year old) apple keyboard started typing plus signs repeatedly when I wasn't touching it, and the mouse stopped responding. I dragged out an older apple keyboard which had a couple of defective keys but was working ok, and the mouse worked again as well when I hooked it up to this keyboard.
Today I bought a brand new apple keyboard (the aluminum one) but when I connected it to the mini, neither the keyboard nor the mouse were detected. I tried using a 7-port USB hub whose ports light up when they're active - all lights were on, even on ports that had nothing hooked up. Keyboard and mouse were still not responding, so I was forced to hard boot the mac with the power button.
When it booted back up, it only got to the dreaded flashing question mark. I tried again several times, same thing. I put in my OSX install disk 1 to see if I could run Disk First Aid. I got that open but it doesn't even see the HDD. It sees it on the left margin of the Disk First Aid menu but the options to Repair Disk etc are grayed out. I tried rebooting and running the extended Hardware test, this said everything was fine, including the hard disk. Finally I tried reinstalling OSX but when it asks for a destination disk, there's no disk listed - so, again it's not even recognizing the hard disk.
Where do I go from here? This system is no longer under warranty. Is it garbage now, or should I take it to a repair shop to get the hard disk replaced? Or is the system board the cause? Based on my experience supporting Windoze PC's I'd have to guess that the system board is pooched...
One more question: I bought an extra gig stick of RAM for this machine a year ago, can it be used on a newer mac if this one is toast and I have to buy a newer one, say an imac?

Try running fsck.
1. Reboot/Startup holding your Command-S key down.
2. At the command line type the following and hit 'Return.'
/sbin/fsck -fy
3. If it finds a problem and repairs it, immediately run fsck again until the drive checks OK.
4. After it has check/repaired your disk, type 'reboot' and hit 'Return' again. Unit should bootup normally.
Also, your RAM will not work in a new iMac. It's to slow.

Mac mini hard disk keep crashing

The hard disk of my Mac mini has been replaced twice during the one year warranty period. It crashed again recently and I was unable to reformat or reinstalled the OS as suggested in the manual. I worry if my Mac mini was not due to hard disk problem alone as Apple products can not be that unreliable where by you need to change hard disk every coypu pole of months. And now the warranty period is over and wonder how Apple can help me in this matter.

Question mark icon flashes when I boot up the Mac mini. When halfway copying file under the recovery method suggest in the manual, error appeared and can cannot continue copying the file. In some of the trials, HD no longer seen by the Mac. I am quite new to the Mac, and not sure which SMART error you are referring to. I may try to approach regional service centre in Singapore. Thanks for your info.

2 x 1TB hard disk in mac mini server, possible?

Hi to all of you,
I see the Mac Mini comes with 2x 500GB hard disk. Since you can now find 1TB hard disk on the Internet I was wondering if the mac mini server would support replacing the 2x500GB HDD by 2 x 1TB HDD?
Anyone has tried it?
Would it support it?
Dag

I wonder the same thing. Power isn't the issue, though, all these drives should draw low enough power that the Mac Mini should be able to handle it, neither should cooling be an issue, since the Mac Mini is AFAIK not passively cooled.
However, most laptop 2.5" drives these days are 9.5mm high, the 1TB drives have the older, these days less common 12.5mm high form factor. So the real question is: does the Mac Mini provide the ability to mount 12.5mm high drives.
FW drives are NOT an option: less performance, and external cables are a recipe for disaster, particularly with any sort of server. Lose cables, corroded connectors, pulling on the wrong cable, separate power supplies that can independently fail, etc. etc.
I'd rather have a 1TB server with a RAID-1 configuration than with a RAID-0 setup...
...and while the thing is open, toss 8GB RAM in...
