What type of hard disk should I use if I want to use it on mac and windows?

Hey Forum,
I am using windows xp on my macbook (snow leopard). I came across some dealers who say that there are hard disks for mac only and for both mac and windows. So, I wanted to buy a hard disk so that I can use it both on mac and windows xp, so what type of hard disk should I use? Must I partition into 2?
or are there any harddisk in the market which is compatible for both mac and windows xp without screwing up the format(NTFS/Mac OS X Journaled)? Pls look into this matter and help me with it.
All of your replies and suggestions is much appreciated.
Thank you.
Ala.

Run, don't walk, from that dealer! and never look back
Once in a very long while Apple will have customized firmware on drives, and it is possible to find SCSI/SAS or drives that are destined to be used with high end storage controllers.
But that is the exception that makes the rule.
SATA is SATA. Though.... there are now SATA III drives that don't work in XP, or that need a jumper, and Seagate and some drives have managed to deliver firmware that has caused trouble... and Apple has had to issue firmware updates to help compatibility....

Adding music folder from hard disk to itunes causes the original music to vanish

what is causing itunes to delete original music folder from hard disk when selecting add folder to itunes

iTunes doesn't have any automatic way of re-creating your directory structure in terms of folders and playlists in iTunes. You will have to drag each music folder to a playlist and then arrange these in folders inside of iTunes (which I warn you can can slow down iTunes a lot). I guess the once chance of speeding this up will be if somebody has written an Applescript to do it, but I don't remeber seeing any anywhere.

How transfer exact arborescence from my music folder on Hard Disk to iTunes ?

Hello All i'm French
How transfer exact tree from my music folder on Hard Disk to iTunes ?
I'm Dj, i use my Mac for that. I'm new on Mac.
On my Pc, i have create many Folders and sub Folders for my music (sample : House/march2010/House Club)
This tree is very important for me and i need to conserve this on Hard drive Mac in the same place.
I Want copy the same tree on Itunes but if i create that myself, it's to long !!
Help me please !

What program access hard disk every 30 second?

I have a very loud hard disk. The hard disk make a very short noice every 30 seconds, even for a new boot. Anyway to check which programming access the hard disk repeatly so I can figure out if it's possible to make the machine quiet?

somthing I read about disk flush/sync timings. There is some sort of 'laptop' mode in some kernels that if set will cause the disk to sync after a period of time in order to let APM/ACPI put the drive to sleep.
There may be settings for your filesystem to do the same(!?). I remember old Windoze NT4 had similar problem and was not remedied until Win2k for use on laptops .... yuck, ... I said the W word.
Here's something I just dug-up:
Laptop mode ===========
This small doc describes the 2.4 laptop mode patch.
Last updated 2003-05-25, Jens Axboe <[email protected]>
Introduction ------------
A few properties of the Linux vm makes it virtually impossible to attempt to spin down the hard drive in a laptop for a longer period of time (more than a handful of seconds). This means you are lucky if you can even reach the break even point with regards to power consumption, let alone expect any decrease.
One problem is the age time of dirty buffers. Linux uses 30 seconds per default, so if you dirty any data then flusing of that data will commence at most 30 seconds from then. Another is the journal commit interval of journalled file systems such as ext3, which is 5 seconds on a stock kernel. Both of these are tweakable either from proc/sysctl or as mount options though, and thus partly solvable from user space.
The kernel update daemon (kupdated) also runs at specific intervals, flushing old dirty data out. Default is every 5 seconds, this too can be tweaked from sysctl.
So what does the laptop mode patch do? It attempts to fully utilize the hard drive once it has been spun up, flushing the old dirty data out to disk. Instead of flushing just the expired data, it will clean everything. When a read causes the disk to spin up, we kick off this flushing after a few seconds. This means that once the disk spins down again, everything is up to date. That allows longer dirty data and journal expire times.
It follows that you have to set long expire times to get long spin downs. This means you could potentially loose 10 minutes worth of data, if you set a 10 minute expire count instead of just 30 seconds worth. The biggest risk here is undoubtedly running out of battery.
Settings --------
The main knob is /proc/sys/vm/laptop mode. Setting that to 1 switches the vm (and block layer) to laptop mode. Leaving it to 0 makes the kernel work like before. When in laptop mode, you also want to extend the intervals desribed above. See the laptop-mode.sh script for how to do that.
It can happen that the disk still keeps spinning up and you don't quite know why or what causes it. The laptop mode patch has a little helper for that as well, /proc/sys/vm/block-dump. When set to 1, it will dump info to the kernel message buffer about what process caused the io. Be very careful when playing with this setting, it is advisable to shut down syslog first!
Result ------
Using the laptop-mode.sh script with its default settings, I get the full 10 minutes worth of drive spin down. Provided your work load is cached, the disk will only spin up every 10 minutes (well actually, 9 minutes and 55 seconds due to the 5 second delay in flushing dirty data after the last read completes). I can't tell you exactly how much extra battery life you will gain in laptop mode, it will vary greatly on the laptop and workload in question. The only way to know for sure is to try it out. Getting 10% extra battery life is not unrealistic.
Notes -----
Patch only changes journal expire time for ext3. reiserfs uses a hardwire value, should be trivial to adapt though (basically just make it call get_buffer_flushtime() and uses that). I have not looked at other journalling file systems, I'll happily accept patches to rectify that!

Hp dv4-2112tu no boot no display , ram and hard disk are ok and checked, shows caps num led blinking

Hello Sir/Madam,
I have HP DV4-2112TU
My laptop doesn’t boot completely and shows blank black display. CPU fan running normally and hard disk rotating normally.
Battery charging is ok and charging-power led glows normally. Caps lock and Num lock led flashes 3 times and then wait for one second and then flash again and so on. Laptop is stucked in booting process.
I have checked both of my RAMs and Hard Disk in Another Laptop. All are working fine and shows no issues.
I have also checked my laptop installing new RAM in both ports (simultaneously) and a new Hard Disk but Laptop shows same problem - no display no boot.
I showed my laptop at an authorised HP Service Centre... they told me that the problem is related to my Hard Disk....But this is wrong Because a faulty hard disk is never cause no display and no boot and even no BIOS POST message. They told me wrong cause of fault because I have checked Hard Disk and it is OK.
Can anyone tell me what are the issues related to my Laptop..... …..
Thanks in advance.
This question was solved.

Hi,
The 3 blink pattern does correspond to issues with the memory modules, see the document below:
Computer Does Not Start and Emits an LED or Beep Code
Since it sounds like you've done everything possible to eliminate the memory modules themselves as the source of the problem. Based on your description, I'd agree that the problem is probably not the Hard Drive. Which unfortunately leaves us with a problem with the Motherboard as the only component that might be implicated and that hasn't been changed out yet. It could be as simple as a bad connector, or something less easy to detect in the logic on the board, but either way, it seems like it would need to go back to a service center for repair.

Disk Utility: for bad blocks on hard disks, are seven overwrites any more effective than a single pass of zeros?

In this topic I'm not interested in security or data remanence (for such things we can turn to e.g. Wilders Security Forums).
I'm interested solely in best practice approaches to dealing with bad blocks on hard disks.
I read potentially conflicting information. Examples:
… 7-way write (not just zero all, it does NOT do a reliable safe job mapping out bad blocks) …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/8191915#8191915 (2008-09-29)
… In theory zero all might find weak or bad blocks but there are better tools …
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/11199777#11199777 (2010-03-09)
… substitution will happen on the first re-write with Zeroes. More passes just takes longer.
— https://discussions.apple.com/message/12414270#12414270 (2010-10-12)
For bad block purposes alone I can't imagine seven overwrites being any more effective than a single pass of zeros.
Please, can anyone elaborate?
Anecdotally, I did find that a Disk Utility single pass of zeros seemed to make good (good enough for a particular purpose) a disk that was previously unreliable (a disk drive that had been dropped).

@MrHoffman
As well pointed your answers are, you are not answering the original question, and regarding consumer device hard drives your answers are missleading.
Consumer device hard drives ONLY remap a bad sector on write. That means regardless how many spare capacity the drive has, it will NEVER remap the sector. That means you ALWAYS have a bad file containing a bad sector.
In other words YOU would throw away an otherwise fully functional drive. That might be reasonable in a big enterprise where it is cheaper to replace the drive and let the RAID system take care of it.
However on an iMac or MacBook (Pro) an ordinary user can not replace the drive himself, so on top of the drive costs he has to pay the repair bill (for a drive that likely STILL is in perfect shape, except for the one 'not yet' remaped bad block)
You simply miss the point that the drive can have still one million good reserve blocks, but will never remap the affected block in a particular email or particular song or particular calendar. So as soon as the file affected is READ the machine hangs, all other processes more or less hang at the same moment they try to perform I/O because the process trying to read the bad block is blocking in the kernal. This happens regardless how many free reserve blocks you have, as the bad block never gets reallocated, unless it is written to it. And your email program wont rewrite an email that is 4 years old for you ... because it is not programmed to realize a certain file needs to be rewritten to get rid of a bad block.
@Graham Perrin
You are similar stubborn in not realizing that your original question is awnsered.
A bad block gets remapped on write.
So obviously it happens at the first write.
How do you come to the strange idea that writing several times makes a difference? How do you come to the strange idea that the bytes you write make a difference? Suppose block 1234 is bad. And the blocks 100,000,000 to 100,000,999 are reserve blocks. When you write '********' to block 1234 the hard drive (firmware) will remap it to e.g. 100,000,101. All subsequent writes will go to the same NEW block. So why do you ask if doing it several times will 'improve' this? After all the awnsers here you should have realized: your question makes no sense as soon as you have understood how remapping works (is supposed to work). And no: it does not matter if you write a sequence od zeros, of '0's or of '1's or of 1s or of your social security number or just 'help me I'm hold prisoner in a software forum'.
I would try to find a software that finds which file is affected, then try to read the bad block until you in fact have read it (that works surprisngly often but may take any time from a few mins to hours) ... in other words you need a software that tries to read the file and copies it completely, so even the bad block is read (hopefully) successful. Then write the whole data to a new file and delete the old one (deleting will free the bad block and ar some later time something will be written there and cause a remap).
Writing zeros into the bad block basically only helps if you don't care that the affected file is corrupted afterwards. E.g. in case of a movie the player might crash after trying to display the affected area. E.g. if you know the affected file is a text file, it would make more sense to write a bunch of '-' signs, as they are readable while zero bytes are not (a text file is not supposed to contain zero bytes)
Hope that helped ;)

Whats the biggest hard disk my PowerMac G5 can hold?

Greetings!
I got a hold of a PowerMac G5 recently, rather cool machine!
Anyway, i want to use it as a fileserver and also for backups of me and my family members computers so im going to need some big hard disks!
Unfortunately PPC macs wont boot from GUID partitioned hard disks so i have 1 hard disk bay free (Whilst the other holds the boot drive) Unless i find some super nice fellow willing to sell me a G5 Jive card rather cheap
At the moment i have a 2TB Samsung Spinpoint (HD204UI) that i could use however before i go messing around inside the system i'd like to know if such high capacity drives will work in the system at all? As far as im aware some hard disks need certain pins/jumpers connected so they run at the slower speed and such. I recall reading something about AFT being an issue as well?
Any information is appreciated, i have listed the system information below as well if it helps.

I see some options here, but not certain of product boundaries:
http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/hard-drives/3.5-SerialATA/
The above company does offer pre-purchase support, to help get what
works; and from reports by other Apple users, they also do, afterward.
At least with an internal 3.5" HDD, these run 7200 RPM, and so should
be fairly quick at moving data; the computer drive bus may be a slow
link in the chain, when a modern drive may be faster at in this aspect.
Same if you were to choose too-high spec SSD, instead of closer match.
The replacement or upgrade hard disk drives may be somewhat backward
compatible to older spec data rates; so that may be an answer of a sort.
A few of the listed HDDs and perhaps a SSD look promising. OWC does offer
some legacy SSD products that can be used in slower data bus situations.
Other specs may be found at http://everymac.com regarding this PM G5.
Not sure if this helps...
Good luck & happy computing!

What type of hard disk should i use

I have a imac 27 inch late 2013 , 3,5mhz Intel i7.
I want to get a hard disk to store photos and others.
what do you suggest.
Thanks

I am going to assume you already have at least 1 high quality backup disk. If you do not that should be your #1 priority. NEVER use a backup disk to also store data files though!!!
However back to your original question and off my soapbox! Many experienced users on these forums prefer OWC (www.macsales.com) Mercury Elite Pro series of EHD. Very high quality, reasonable cost and excellent service. Here is the link to get you started:

What if my hard disk damaged?

I'm using T61 with Vista Business. I used to restore my system frequently to original factory settings, whenever I faced any problem. My questions are:
1- Is it really danger to restore the system frequently?
2- How can I recover my system if the hard disk is damaged?
3- Can I create recovery disk (DVD/CD)? How?
Please help me as I'm facing hard disk problems for past few days, though I've run PC doctor.

Start -- All Programs -- Thinkvantage -- Create Product Recovery Media, first disk CD, two remaining ones DVD.
Save your data on external storage and boot from the recovery disks. If you get a new hard disk that is larger than your old one the recovery disks will set up the C: partition to use also the extra storage.
If your hard disk is already so damaged you can't create the recovery disks you can order them from Lenovo support, if your T61 is still on warranty they should ship them to you without charge.
ps when booting from the recovery disks, first time when you are asked to insert next disk -- answer no -- second time insert the next disk.

When restoring iPod, what files on hard drive are erased?

I have an ! mark and a folder shown on face of my iPod(mini). When I reset, I get an apple showing for a second or two, then it goes back to !/folder. I think my only choice is to try to restore. Does restoring wipe out the entire computer hard drive or just all iPod and related music files?

Hard disk failure message

Hello,
I have a HP Envy 4-1017nr laptop. Since the last week, anytime I start my laptop, a message pops up on the screen telling me to backup my data as my laptop can have a hard drive failure. It told me to run some system diagnostic test, which I did and the result of the test was a failure. Then I pressed the "Enter" key, and the laptop booted to Windows as it normally does. I am having no other problems with this laptop apart from everytime I turn on the laptop, that message pops up and when I want to shut down my laptop, it does not completely shut down unless I manually shut it down by pressing the power button.
Can anyone please help me with this problem? Does this mean that I will have to replace the hard drive on this laptop?

The hard drive has a problem but you don't see it yet.
Unfortunately, I cannot tell how bad the failure is. It might work like that for a long time or fail completely without any warning any time.
If you want to use it as is, make sure all your personal data is backed up.
If your laptop is still under warranty you should send it to HP for the hard drive replacement. Do not attempt fixing it yourself. This will void your warranty.
Here's HP serivce manual for your laptop. Hard drive removal shown on the page 38. It's not easy because the hard drive mounted inside the laptop case.

What types of hard drives are compatible with my HP Folio Laptop?

I got a refurbished HP Folio 1029wm.I'm statisified with its performance.
It's just for some reason that I wish to upgrade my hard drive to larger capacity.

What is causing a disk error when saving psd files or writing to cache?

The problem only happens when running Photoshop CC (2104) and Bridge (actually these are the only two programs I really use my external drive for) during a save or write operation to an external hard drive. I can work for hours, with multiple files open, saving, creating, etc. without a problem and then suddenly I'll get a message from Photoshop saying, "Could not save .... because of a disk error." or from Bridge saying, ".. unable to write to cache..".
When I quit and try to troubleshoot the problem, I find that, for some reason, Mavericks has put system files on my external (non boot) drive or, for whatever reason, thinks there is a system file on it. Consequently, the drive cannot be ejected (Error message: "... one or more programs may be using it...") and I cannot repair it using Disk Utility (Error message: " ... live file system repair is not supported"). I also cannot write to it (Error message: "... unexpected disk error has occurred (error code: -50)"). The problem persists even after quitting all other programs, which wouldn't surprise me if Mavericks thinks there is a system file on it.
I have force ejected the drive a couple of times but became concerned that I might be compounding the problem. Now I just restart my computer and run Disk Utility Repair Disk. (Don't know which is worse.) Disk Utility either doesn't find a problem or, if it finds one, it repairs it. After that, Photoshop and Bridge work fine for a while.
System information:
MacBook Pro 13" 2.4GHz with 16GB RAM, 500 GB HD (recently upgraded)
Apple Cinema Display
Mavericks (up to date)
G-Technology G-Drive (Gen 5) 2TB HD connected via Firewire 800 (latest firmware)
Unconfirmed observation: I believe the first few times this problem occurred, Firefox was up an running. I made a point of quitting all programs except System Monitor when running Photoshop and Bridge and I can't remember having the problem again. The the last time the issue occurred, today, however, Safari was up and running.
Is this an OS problem, a hardware (disk drive, cable, etc.) problem, a software problem (PS, Bridge) or some combination? I have put this much detail in the post hoping someone can share some insight into the cause. I will be sending this report to Apple and G-Technology and I will report any resolution, if and, hopefully when, I find one.

The only thing that will cause a disk error is an actual error from the disk.
Photoshop is just telling you what that OS told it about the error.
It sounds like you need to boot off another disk and try to repair your disk.
Also, make sure you have a backup. And check the SMART status to see if it is failing and needs to be replaced.

Hard disk failure - what does mean following error: failure ID 9cw77a-5km5t8-xd002k-60s903?

Hi,
Since 6 months I have HP Pavilion dv6 3180ec, running Win7 64-bit.
Recently the notebook restarted itself several times during last couple of days with a hard disk failure message (blue screen); after restart, a Hard disk diagnosis was requested however never properly started... So I run the test from BIOS and got following error message:
Hard disk test failed
Failure ID: 9CW77A-5KM5T8-XD002K-60S903
(interesting is that the SMART test passed successfully)
Does anybody knows, how severe the failure is? Is the change of HDD necessary? I would like to avoid the situation to send it to HP customer service for warranty check and have no notebook for a month, as the guys will not experience the same problem (actually even I am now writing the post on that notebook - and without any restart...)
THX
F.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hi,
If not a SMART error, this will either be a failure of the short or long Disk Self Test and really would indicate the drive should be replaced. There is no need to have to send the notebook in, as if you contact HP to arrange for a new HDD to be supplied to you under warranty, the drive will be sent out to you - you normally have to pay a deposit which is refunded when you return the defective HDD.
If you live in the US, contact HP Here.
If you are in another part of the world, start Here.
The procedure for replacing the HDD is shown starting on Page 55 of your Maintenance & Service Guide.
