Insatlling OS.?without cdrom

Hello eveyone.My macbook's cd rom is not working.And my hdd is new.How can i install my OS?.Thx anyway

Connect the Mac with broken DVD to the other Mac with FW and start it with pressing T.
Boot the working mac with the OS DVD. This mac will see both HDD, its internal HD and the HD of the other Mac. This will be with the FireWire icon on it.  The install program will ask you on which HD to install and then BE CAREFULL TO CHOSE the external one, that is the HDD of the connected Mac with the broken drive.

  • Laptop not recognize cdrom

    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
    My laptop hp pavilion dv6000 [dv6815ee], the cdrom is 'PIONEMR DVDRW'
    I don't know exactly when this problem start, its from long time might 1.5 years,
    i didn't try to solve the problem because i didn't have time in that time, i use
    the default operation system that laptop come with[vista (86,32)],and i was
    installed TrueCrypt,Ext2Fsd, also DAEMON TOOLS, MagicDisc I used them to create
    virtual drive. I think the problem come after i played with these programs like
    forced the virtual drive letter from disk management (from windows) to set
    different letter (i think these did conflict to the programs, to the system, may
    to the bios and may also between these programs daemon tools,MagicDisc,TrueCrypt,
    Ext2Fsd[i use it to show my other partion ext2, i set the ext2fsd to permently
    show the partions but sometimes not work well and cause hang in the system) ,also
    uninstall these virtual drive from device manage, .....
    first i was see my cdrom in computer with question mark i was not able to use it,
    i guess the problem in that time by these programs because i played with them
    settings.i created maximum virtual drive that  these programs can created then i
    saw the icon come normal without the question mark and i can use it normal,after
    restart the problem it back,i used this method [removed virtual drive and created]
    and i sucess use my cdrom,i tried solve the problem when i need it and have time,
    but after it use this method three or four time it not work.
    sometimes when i close the screen[the system go in sleep mode], after i open the
    screen the system recognize cdrom[the cdrom after open screen go read the cd if
    there].
    the strange thing also i cannot boot from cdrom, i tried to change the cdrom to
    check if the cdrom not work,same thing the system not recognize cdrom or show any
    message occurred as a result of put different cdrom. I put my cdrom in different
    laptop [same model] and it works fine.
    i read in internet diffrenet cases about cdrom not recognize and cheacked many
    thing like delete some keys from regestry and use programs like Mats_Run from
    microsoft and programs like 'VSO Inspector',Alcohol,Nero. also i tried uninstall
    Protections from the cdrom i installed different versions of SPTD
    'SCSI Pass Through Direct','daemon tools'. i uninstall cdrom drive from device
    manager and tried scan for new hardware, also uninstall ata/atapi controls,i reset
    the DMA status of all ATA drives, delete atapi.sys,nothing work well.
    I used recovery manager to restore the system to the factory default state to check if
    the problem from the system, nothing happen, so i tried this time recovery without
    put cdrom in the laptop after finish recovery i put the cdrom, its recognized, after
    some days i played sound cd after some 2 or 3 tracks suddenly the cdrom disappear,
    after that i repeated also recovery without the cdrom after that put cdrom but this
    time not recognize.
    I tried many thing to understand and solve the problem, i upgraded the bios before
    the problem occured, i taked backup, i restore it after the problem occure, i return
    upgraded to latest version. i modify settings in files[PHLASH.INI, PHLASH.AUT,
    PHLASH.NOR] from HideAll=1 to HideAll=0 to show the advance options in Winphlash after
    i tried options there but nothing solve the problem,
    i think may the problem its related with bios specially with DMI.
    [after i put different cdrom the bios in list of ordering boot i get exclamation mark
    before the cdrom when the cdrom option enable, in orginaly cdrom no icons get when
    enable or disable or also remove the cdrom and run the laptop without cdrom.]
    i also removed the battery ant RTC battery and waited some minutes nothing happend
    also the result of the log of test memory and harddisk not earsed. i tried do hard
    reset but i failed
    I used linux[by usb],but it's also cannot recognize the cdrom then i create dos to
    boot from usb it's also cannot recognize i tried many dos drive, some of them cannot
    recognize cdrom at all, others give me loop of errors and sometime hang. i tried many
    programs in dos, i found program which recongize the cdrom, it show me informations
    about cdrom like Model number,Serial number,Firmware revision,Peripheral device type,
    Protocol type for device,Command packet size. atacd203
    im sure the all cicuits of motherboard work fine but there some wrong.
    i have some records of my tried in atacd203

    i get some  hope to solve the problem after i saw the Announcements of ask Expert day
    -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

    I believe the problems is not with the hard drive or the CD/DVD ROM, but what is on the hard drive that is keeping the OS from recognizing the ROM.
     If I am reading the posts correctly I think you have tried enabling the CD/DVD -ROM in the BIOS. Is that correct ?
    Use Partition Wizard to delete and merge any partitions that were not shipped with the laptop. With Vista there should be recovery and the OS partition and nothing else. Other partitions containing additional OS's can cause Vista not to recognize the CD drive.
      http://www.partitionwizard.com/free-partition-manager.html
    Ounce you have cleaned up the hard drive, if the CD drive is still not recognized, try reinstalling the drivers for the CD/DVD ROM in the device manager.
     If that does not work, try performing another system restore with the recovery partition, maybe with the hard drive cleaned up with Partition Wizard it will reinstall Vista correctly to recognize the CD drive.
     Another thing to do is to create a system recovery loaded on a USB flash drive. Your specific model was not coming up with the info. you have given so here is the instructions for a dv6000 cto. They are the same.
     http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01890478&tmp_task=useCategory&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=u...
     Still another option is to remove the hard drive and connect it to another computer through USB and delete everything on the hard drive and create unallocated space. Reinstall it back into the laptop and with nothing on the hard drive the BIOS may recognize that you can boot from the CD/DVD ROM drive. With that you will be able to recover your system back to Vista and of course you will have to order some recovery disk's from HP.
     Any of the above procedures are experimental and I can not guarantee if they will work, they may make things worse.

  • PDF's won't load in Safari

    So in the Leopard manual is says that PDF's will now open in Safari, and that if i hover my mouse cursor near the bottom of the screen, a series of option buttons will appear where i can download the file or open it in preview. I take this new feature to mean i don't need adobe acrobat to view PDF files online. However, when i click on a PDF file in a website, it automatically downloads it to my downloads folder without opening it in Safari. How do I make Safari open the PDF file in a safari window like the manual says it should?

    Hi
    My name is Diethard and I am a recent switcher from PC to Mac, living in Switzerland. I have found an article in the forum, where you helped someone on the problem with Adobe Acrobat Reader.
    I have made the "mistake" to install the Acrobat Reader ... and then decided that I prefer to view pdf files through the Preview-function of Leopard. I have managed to get the Preview to be the pdf view for pdf files from the HD. But in Safari I am confronted with the problem, that the click on the pdf icon opens a window, which is then searching for the Acrobat pdf view - which is deinstalled already.
    From the article I saw that you proposed to the other person that one should make sure that the library is free of any plug-ins. I have checked this and can confirm that the library folder Internet/Plug-Ins is empty (well, I don't know whether there are "hidden" files, like under Windows). However, when I am opening Safari and look at the menu Help/Installed Plug-ins, I find on top of all other plug-ins a list of plug-ins of Adobe Acrobat (I have copied the list at the end of this mail). But I don't know where I can find them, whether I can de-insatll them without creating a problem.
    I also tried the other proposal from the same mail string (write a code into the Konsole), but also that did not prevent Safari to open the acrobat pdf viewer window and then search for the (no longer) existing Acrobat 8.0 ...
    Any idea how I could get this solved and back to pure Leopard pdf viewing? Maybe I need to mention that I also have Adobe Photoshop on my PC. Thus I can not just delete anything with Adobe in the name ...
    Thank you in advance

  • Solaris 10 x86 Version

    So, when is Adobe going to get their heads out of their collective ***** and release FM for Unix again (Solaris and Mac)?  I grew up with FM under Unix (way back to version 2).  The Solaris sparc 5.5 version is way out-of-date.
    There are several of us here at work that would rather use the Solaris x86 version, as our primary computer is Solaris 10 x86.
    As pointed out by others in other discussions, Adobe has mishandled FrameMaker after purchasing it.
    IMHO, Adobe has managed to screw up not only FM, but other core products.

    I have a pc with cdrom and a netra T1 without cdrom.
    Wondering if I can use solaris x86 pc to jumpstart
    netra T1(sparc). I heard linux can jumpstart solaris
    sparc.You can. The only problem is that it is difficult to read the information from the SPARC CD set (due to the differences in x86 and SPARC UFS filesystems).
    If you have the SPARC DVD (or even just the DVD .iso), then it's easier. The same information is replicated so that it is easier to copy onto x86.
    Since you only have CD drives, I'd recommend copying the DVD image to the machine, then using lofiadm to mount it up.
    Once mounted, it's the same thing as on SPARC, just run the setup_install_server and add_install_client stuff.

  • 6330 LE3 - ata mode vs performace problems

    note: see sig for specs.
    alright, so here a little while back, my main hard drive (the 10gig)
    has started to perform like it's in PIO mode, yet everything i run to test it says it's using ata(/dma)66 mode. my secondary is using ata100 and runs fine. the primary is getting 1.8mb/sec max secondary gets ~30mb/sec
    both are hooked to the same _new_ cable (replaced it, without effect) on the primary ide channel. swapping to the secondary ide channel does nothing more than make win2k look for my cdrom drives.
    hooking up a single drive yeilds normal performance.
    i know this board is capable of running each drive at it's rated speed/tranfer rates because it was doing so not but a few weeks ago, yet it's refusing to do so now.
    anyone got any insights into this little problem?
    -Tsuki

    swapping the second drive onto ide2(without cdroms) gives me full performance off both drives
    but i shouldn't need to stick my drives in some funky hdd/cd+hd/cd config just to get full performance :\

  • Board does not see HDD

    Am new at this, first time assembler.  bought MS-6524 board, 512mb, 133 mem and case w/300watt pu.  
    On startup (or anyother time) no hdd(s) are recognized.  CMOS utility will see CD-ROM but not hdd when attached to same ribbon.  FDD is recognized.  
    have tried hdds (2) on primary and secondary IDEs, alone and as master and slave.  Have moved mem from dimm 1 to dimm 2 and back again.  I don't think I have missed any combinations but this thing cannot find a hard drive.
    Both hard drives are w2k pro, NTFS and work dandy in my old computer.
    HELP

    Try clearing the CMOS depending on your motherboard using the JBAT1 or ClearCMOS jumper on the motherboard by moving the jumper from pins 1 & 2 to pins 2 & 3 for about 5 seconds and then move the jumper back to pins 1 & 2 but make sure you turn the power off and unplug the power lead from your computer before you do this because you could damage your motherboard.
    Also have you checked to see if both IDE1 & IDE2 are enabled in the BIOS and have you tried autodetect IDE. Also some motherboards don't like HDD's and CDROM's being on the same IDE and you should allways put HDD's on IDE1 and CDROM's on IDE2 and you can only have two drives on each IDE.
    If your HDD's are still not detected your motherboard probably doesn't have the support for them and you may need to update your BIOS.
    If that doesn't work you could give this a try. Put the HDD's back in your old system one at a time and boot it up with Win 9X or Win ME boot floppy and select option (3) Start computer without CDROM support. When you get to the A:\ prompt type FDISK and press enter. You will see two messeges one about FAT & FAT32 and the other about NTFS, select Y for Yes on both of these messeges. When you get to the FDISK options menu select option (3) Delete partition or logical DOS Drive then select option (4) Delete Non - Dos partition. Now you need to select the partition you want to delete and press enter. When this is done you need to press the Esc key to return to the FDISK options menu and select option (1) Create Dos partition or logical Dos Drive and press enter. First it will check your drive and then it will ask if you want to use all of the disk space for this patition select Y for yes and it will start to create the partition. When it's done you need to press the Esc key untill you get back to the A:\ prompt. Now you have to restart your computer with the Windows boot floppy and select option (3) Start computer without CDROM support. When you get to the A:\ prompt type FORMAT C: and press enter you will be asked if you want to continue press Y for yes then press enter. When the FORMAT is complete you will be asked about the volume label just press enter. Now switch off your computer and put the drive back into your new computer and it should be detected.
    Let me know what happens.

  • Unpacking a bios

    I have dual Inno 6600GTs which wont work in SLI mode. Inno have provided me with a new bios which appears to be in a packed format. The file (called gf66gt128.46) shows as a size of 64,512, packed to 43,774 in winzip. Can anyone offer any assistance on how to unpack this to the correct format. Anything I attempt comes up unrecognised format/program etc etc. I am still awaiting advice from Inno but I thought that an expert on here would be able to help in the meanwhile.
    Cheers
    Bill

    Hello,
    So is gf66gt128.46 a file in the ZIP?
    I think gf66gt128.46 is the BIOS image.
    You will need this
    http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=972
    Use 1 card in the PC when you flash it.
    Can you show me the actual file that inno3d sent you, attach it here.
    Do not try this yet until you are sure, maybe post this to inno3d and ask if it is how to flash the bios.
    HOW TO FLASH THE BIOS
    ==============
    Download this run it to make a RMADRIVE boot disk.
    http://www.nerdlabs.org/bootdisks/diskimages/wboot98se.exe

  • Install over LAN

    Excuse me if posting under wrong subforum,the question is more general oriented:
    anyone can point to some good basic tutorial/howto (independent, not specific to any distro) about how to install linux over LAN from one PC with working linux distro to another PC without cdrom and floppy-just over LAN?
    Any help appreciated.

    I never really tried it out, but the Knooppix-Livecd provides a PXE Server for the Local network. Just boot knoppix an a pc with cdrom and start the PXE-Server. Start up your cd-less pc and boot into pxe. You'll have a full functional linux-environment running. From there you can install any distro.
    Links
    PXE FAQ on Knoppix Wiki (also recommended for further reading)

  • Problems installing windows on 36.7GB raptor on KT6 Delta-LSR

    I've been trying to get this damn thing to work for a few days   and then someone told me about the forum here at MSI. So far I've been reading different threads now for a total of approx. 3-4 hours and I don't think I've come across someone with my exact problem unless I've overlooked it. I've had two 40GB drives for a couple of years now and I decided that I'll upgrade to a WD 36.7 GB raptor. I thought all would be good until I popped it in and tried to install windows on it. I boot off the Win XP CD and press F6 to instal the SATA drivers. It accepts the drivers on the floppy, recognizes the drive and reformats and continues until, right after the format it says, "The disk or CD may be damaged......blah blah blah." I don't know if this is referring to my HDD, but it seemed like it was referring to my floppy b/c when I press enter to continue, it asks me to insert the floppy again, and then it reads the floppy and gives the same error. I've been trying to get this to work for the past few days now, and I think I tried almost everything. I disconnected all other optical drives and HDD's except for the Raptor and my dvd writer and still same prob. I tried d/l new sata drivers from MSI and still same problem. I changed where I plugged the sata into (since there were two ports) and still same thing. I wanted to update my bios (v5.5) but the readme file said not to flash from a floppy. I don't have another drive to flash from, so I don't know what to do about that. Please anybody help!!!   My system spec are below...
    MSI KT6 DELTA-LSR
    AMD 3000
    1.5 GB RAM
    ATI Radeon 9200
    WD 36.7 RAPTOR
    Samsung 40GB 7200rpm
    LG CD writer
    LG DVD writer
    Enermax 300W
    SB Audigy
    D-Link wireless network adapter
    ....I think that's about it.
    When I tried installing last the CDRW and Samsung drive were disconnected....

    Hello,
    I would like to comment on the 1.5Gb of ram.
    Please use 1 stick and try again.
    Also I hope you are not mixing modules of different make/spec/size.
    1GB + 512MB
    512MB + 512MB + 512MB <this one is good if thry are all the same make/model/revision
    256MB + 256MB + 1GB
    You can test the memory with this program.
    http://www.memtest.org/download/1.51/memtest86+-1.51.floppy.zip
    - Extract all the files to a folder, then run the install.bat.
    - It will make a memtest bootdisk.
    - Then you must boot from this disk, please test each module individually.
    - If they are all fine then try your combo and see what happens.
    - Test each module for 1hour, if you get any errors instantly then you can stop and change module.
    Do not flash until you are sure that the memory is ok.
