There should also be a symlink at /usr/bin/enemy-territory
So by typing enemy-territory in a terminal ET should run.
it doesn't run when I type ET in the terminal

A205-S5000 won't boot. Says possible hard drive problem

Laptop won't boot and says possible hard drive problem. Need to recover
personal reports and data, so thinking of removing the drive and using an enclosure
so the data, if still good, can be extracted from the drive by another computer. Question
is, will I be able to create the restore cd's from the hard drive if the hard drive is not the
boot drive ie; attached to a 2nd computer via usb and enclosure.
If it's not possible, I can try to create cd's from a different model laptop (toshiba), same vista os but
what about the product key? I will try to reinstall the bad drive and try a reboot to recovery mode but
I doubt that is going to work or complete. Idea was to get a new drive and try to install recovery disks.

Recovery discs must be from an identical model. If you can't burn them from that computer, best to order them
Order Toshiba Recovery Media
The restored Windows is pre-activated.

Has ANYONE managed to install Vista under Boot Camp on a second drive?

As I understand it Vista cannot be installed on secondary drive because of the "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for install" error message when selecting the install location because it needs a Primary Drive.
In the Microsoft Knowledge Base they recommend removing the primary drive to overcome this but I tried and it failed.
Do I HAVE to go out and buy XP (which allows installs on secondary drives) and then upgrade to Vista.
I'm so darn frustrated with this issue I wondered if anyone has managed to do this successfully.
Thanks

No problems here. I have Vista 64 Ultimate running on a different internal drive, and I didnt remove my primary OSX drive to do this. In fact it worked without a hitch. There must be something you are doing wrong in the bootcamp preparation phase.

Is this a (another) possible hard drive problem that's stopping my re-install?

I'm trying to revive our old Compaq Presario 2500 laptop; model# DS542U.
Running Windows XP Home.
It was, for a long time; un-bootable; so I succesfully created an XP boot cd (from the "howtohaven.com" website); a painstakingly time demanding procedure. But the disk came out successful.
I've been trying to reboot/start the laptop .. I was able to go ahead and re-format the hard drive, since we removed everything important long ago. The format went successful.
Then as the installation went forward I got the neassage:
Setup cannot copy the file: wininet.dll
I tried skipping the file, (it offered me that option) and that allowed the installation to proceed right along for a long time, but now it's stuck being able to go any further.
a blue screen lingers with the message: "Setup is being restarted"
The unit then goes into hard crash and keeps trying over again.
Question: might it by our hard drive? Even if the format operation (appears to have gone) successful?
Right now there's no OS onboard at all.
Or is there simply an issue of this mystery file that's missing?
If that's truly the case, how do I get that thing into the setup?
Thanks greatly for any help!
This forum (the one on desktop units) helped me greatly in the last two weeks getting our Media Center unit up and running) so I appreciate the feedback!

Hi, one further detail to ask help on:
I've been trying for the last hour to remove the existing hard drive; I've followed all the outlined steps on HP's website (and other sites) for this model; removed the appropriate screws; and I cannot, with even the greatest force I am willing to take a chance on exerting, able to pry this thing out. It comes out about an eigth of an inch ...
Whew! Is there some other trick I might have missed?
Wow, there must be some other fasteners holding this thing in, but no information is offered anywhere.
Thanks greatly,
Michael

Possible Hard Drive Problem?

Ok I have a MAC PRO with different drives for BOOT and DATA.
My data drive is actually a RAID stripe of 3 of the 4 internal drives. It's worked fine for nearly the year I've had the machine.
All of a sudden when playing music with ITUNES songs will randomly be interuppted (stop playing) for a short period of time. Occasionally the spinning beach ball occurs at same time.
Everything else is working normal. Could this be a problem with one of the drives???? What could cause this?
Thanks for any advice!

WEll, start with good backups, maintenance, Disk Warrior, etc.
I rebuild any array when I upgrade the OS.
A scan for bad or weak sectors might be in order too.
When did you last reformat your boot drive also? when you went to 10.6? say backup and then format, and then clean install; or restore and update install - so you have 10.5.8 on backup.
And, are the drives identical? sounds like they probably are, they should be, and "RAID" or Enterprise as well.
Boot from an external emergency boot drive and run Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro (or another like DG2+) along with Apple First Aid -- for starters.
I'd consider rebuilding, and testing each drive even.

IPod - Possible Hard Drive Problem

My iPod is no longer syncing, it comes up with erros when I try to sync.
I suspect the hard drive is bad.
I have done a restore (it didn't work until I formatted the disk in Windows), and this has not solved the problem. I ran the diag mode and it came up with this on the hard drive test (SMART):
Retracts:                     10
Reallocs:                    376
Pending Sectors:           0
PowerOn Hours:         2334
Start/Stops:              22405
Temp Current:             38C
Temp:                     Min 1C
Temp:                    Max 52C
Is my hard disk gone? Could I possibly fix it?
The start/stops number is high, but I have no idea what normal looks like.

Have you tried renaming you iPod. Perhaps Windows will see it as a new volume then?
If that doesn't work perhaps try restoring your iPod as doing so will reformat the hard drive. If Windows still asks after that, at least you know the iPod's not at fault.
You could also try reformatting your computer and completely reinstalling Windows if the error message still continues and is really bothers you.
Once you clear the message and you see iTunes freezing again, perhaps try restarting the computer rather then disconnecting the iPod.

Possible hard drive problems...trying to backup.

I have recently been having problems with my iMac. It was acting very slow and would have frequent spinning beach balls while doing pretty much anything. I know that my hard drive has been getting pretty full lately (about 11.5GB left of 250GB HD). Anyway went to restart the computer a week or so ago and it got stuck on the blue screen. Tried again a few times and would get stuck on either gray or blue screen. I then started the computer up with the startup disk and and repaired the permissions and did a check of the HD which said that it didn't need any repairs. I then did an archive and install of the OS. I restarted the computer and it took awhile but it did start up. I was able to verify that my stuff was still on the HD. I tried transferring some of my files to an external HD and had some success. Seemed that it would transfer so much (700ish Mb) then stop and hang. I decided it was time to take it to the Mac Genius Bar and they were able to find and run disk utility on my HD with the same results. He told me to go home and use disk utility to create a disk image of the hard drive and save it to my external HD. I tried to do that twice now and it seems to work until just before the end of the progress bar. I get a message that says that it is unable to create the image file because of I/O errors (or something like that). Am I doing something wrong or am I just out of luck. I need to get some of the HD (hopefully) and was dumb enough to not make a backup sooner. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Something to try:
Open Disk Utility (Applications > Disk Utility)
Select your external HD on the left side of the Disk Utility window
Check the partition map scheme, near the bottom of the Disk Utility window
If it is not GUID (assuming you have an Intel iMac), consider repartitioning your HD to GUID. The Windows partition scheme on many external HDs. FAT 32, often has problems accepting large data transfers from Mac-partitioned hard drives.

WinXP dual boot Solaris on 2nd hard drive problem...

Hi there ppl,
run into a bit of a prob with dual booting winxp and solaris. I have WinXP on 1st hard drive and Solaris on 2nd hard drive 2 (Solaris - partition 1 with slice 0 x86 active, DOS - partition 2 for installing linux later, DOS - partition 3 for fat32 file storage later).
I want to boot to Solaris on drive 2 from the WinXP boot loader on drive 1. Could somebody please tell me exactly how to do this as I've copied the bootsect.sun file from Solaris via floppy to the WinXP C:\ drive, and edited the WinXP boot loader to:
[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(1)partition(1)C:\bootsect.sun="Solaris/x86"
and when I select to boot to Solaris I get:
Windows could not start because the following is missing or corrupt:
<Windows root>\system32\hal.dll
Please reinstall a copy of the above file
WinXP still boots ok.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks already.

Yes, that is a hard drive failure and means you need a replacement.
Post back with more questions and how you wish to proceed. If you wish to procure and install and configure a new hard drive let us know what country you live in and whether you have recovery disks.

Possible hard drive problem with MacBook Pro? PLEASE HELP!!!

MacBook Pro loads to login screen with my personal account (which shows a grey silhouette) my student account(shows custom pic) and guest account(same grey silhouette) there is no feedback when I click on anything. I have restarted it multiple times & don't get anywhere with it. I just updated stuff on the macbook prior to this incident. I need help because I have all of my business, school, and personal things on this machine. What could be the cause of this? Why is it happening? I need it fixed ASAP as I have work that needs to be completed
P.S. I am unsure of the exact operating system but it was the Mountain Lion that it came with. I was planning on upgrading to Mavericks tonight until this problem arose

"Any drive can fail at any time."
Don't update anything until you have a large-ish external drive and Time Machine or other backup working.
You dodged a bullet this time. Next time, maybe you will not be so lucky.

Start booting then reboot

Hi
i've just installed WinXp + update
other software are installed (office, nero, steam, sandra, ....)
when i start the PC, winxp is booting, and when loading logo & blue bar, winxp reboots and start correctly.
why ?
Thanks

mm! very simple just try to press f8 and go to safe mode or last good config if your pc boots it could be a driver problem, so remove it
if not try to test you bios config reset to bios normal defaults and then test your ram pci cards so on.

Enemy Territory Quake Wars won't run because of video card/driver

I have installed Enemy Territory Quake Wars to my Tecra A9-51U and when it trys to load it comes up with the message:
"The current video card / driver combination does not support the necessary features: GL_ARB_texture_rectangle or GL_EXT_texture_rectangle GL_ARB_shader_objects GL_ARB_vertex_shader GL_ARB_fragment_shader"
I have tried to install new drivers from both intel an nvidia however they they dont work and say that the driver must come from toshiba however I can not find any!
Is there anything that I can do to resolve this or is there nothing that i can do to get it working!!?

Hi buddy,
why so nervous? I have here some nice sites which have really good drivers WHICH WORK ;)
Check these sites:
http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (read the FAQ section first)
http://www.omegadrivers.net/
download the drivers from there and play quake wars. Its a nice game, I am waiting for it since I ordered it and it should come next week.

Boot Camp "Quit and install later" corrupted the BOOTCAMP partition

I just had my new iMac delivered.
The first things I did was to run Software Update to install 10.6.8, then I installed 10.7.1 Lion and ran Software Update again just to be sure I got everything up to date as it should be. After installing a couple of applications via App Store and the web I set about to create a Boot Camp partition for my Win7 needs. When the assistant was finished (a new partition created and drivers saved to a USB memory stick) and told me it was ready to install Windows, but I choose Quit and install later (and oh, what I now regret that choice) because my Windows DVD was nowhere to be found (I should have looked a little harder).
Then when I later found the Windows 7 install DVD I launched Boot Camp Assistant again, but lo and behold when it tells me that I need to reformat my partions and start over from scratch. Boot Camp Assistant refuses to let me install Windows because I choose Quit and install later.
I have tried the following things to solve the problems:
Repair permissions and repairing the disk.
Start with the bundled OSX DVD to run fsck -fy followed by Disk Utility.
Re-format the BOOTCAMP partition.
Boot from the Windows 7 DVD (which claims something along the lines that the partition does not support Windows installations).
Nothing works! Why? How do I solve this?

The past and having used whatever. FWB HDToolkit, Silverlining, $10K worth of scsi means??
windows requires that the partition table and format (GUID) has full functional MBR that Windows and Mac can work with.
Ever heard of take your best guess and double it for how much space to allocate? or no matter how good your partitions will always need to be changed.
Apple (that pdf guide?) is quite clear about one thing, which I usually but not here, take with grain of salt, that Boot Camp Assistant is a one trick pony to do the job of setting aside unfragmented free space for Windows.
ie, you can't use FWB Toolkit of SoftRAID 4.0 (excellent though it is!). Though Paragon CampTune (the company is rare, supports Boot Camp etc) and can be used.
If you created it now, but then you had 10.7 and Boot Camp 4, I could possibly get my head to imagine there could be an issue. And that is because every OS version has new changed partition table changes, making for this old (65 and going) mainframer to re-initialize drives whenever there is a change.
You can clone your system, format, and restore nice and clean with SuperDuper in a Jiffy. So why bother now? can't see it.
I understand people wanting 3 or more partitions. Wanting Windows to boot off external drive. Or use GPT and UEFT (that may happpen as 3TB drives and is beginning to be supported, but so far Apple and EFI are closed, proprietary, and GPT booting and EFI go hand in hand) but extra partitions is just... wishful.

Will it work to un-install Snow Leopard (booting from original disks) and then reinstall, then upgrade without erasing hard drive on iMac?

I have both a bootable backup exernal hard drive and the original system disks. I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version. I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files). I need to know which can work. Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source? If I can get the system filess off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful. I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all. And since I don't know where all the little bits and pieces of the Adobe programs get installed, perhaps it won't work anyway?
thanks,
Kahty

I have read on these support pages that you cannot get snow leopard freshly installed without erasing the whole whole drive since the original installation disks are older than the current updated version.
That is incorrect. You can install an older version of the same OS over itself. With Snow Leopard and later, unless you intentionally select to erase the drive, the OS removes and replaces all remnants of the current OS and leaves all of your third party apps, personal files and settings intact.
I have also read here that it is possible to get the system newly installed (though it's wise to have a back up of the rest of your files).
That is the correct information.
Is there an un-install function after booting from a different source? If I can get the system files off the main hard drive and then install Snow Leopard from my original disks, then go through the upgrades, and end up with the rest of my files intact, that would be wonderful.
No, there is no way to remove just the OS files from a drive. At least, not in any manner you could call easy. There are thousands of hidden files and folders related to UNIX. Many apps won't even run correctly, or at all, if they're not on the same drive you are starting up to. So trying to separate your third party apps from the drive the OS is on is not a good idea.
I have all the adobe design premium software on the system with their updates and would like to not spend hours and hours restoring it all.
If your end goal is to simply get the contents of the external drive onto a new internal drive in a bootable form, you can use Disk Utility to clone the drive, or use one of two excellent third party apps; SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.
