Installing 2nd Harddrive, so far no luck

Tryging to rescue a Seagate HD from my kids Dell by making it a second drive on my 3000. It's an IDE drive but I have a SATA converter. Cabled it to the motherboard and put the power connector to it but when I boot, doesnot find it. The Seagate as a jumper in place but not sure if it is set a master, slave or nothing.
New to this Lenovo also, tried playing with setup but no joy. What am I missing?
Thanks.

try configuring the BIOS to see your disk as as second drive.....make sure to set the pin of the second drive to slave too...then restart your system....

HowTo install archlinux to a far away server?

HowTo install archlinux to a far away server?
or what about Archbootstrap?
I have a server far away from me with software raid on it.
It is running a different distro and i want to install archlinux on it.
I was thinging to break the sw raid and use something like archbootstrap.
I could install archlinux to one hard disk, fix the network and then
add a new grub entry and reboot. Then i could rebuild the sf raid and configure
my new archlinux server as i want.
I've tried archbootstrap to my PC first and try to install archlinux to a different partition
(same logic to want i need to do). I found some trouble, I even hack a little the script
to fix some initial problems but i cant find a way to run it correctly.
Is there another way? Can someone point me to a direction?
PS: i've already looked up the forum and wiki - couldnt find anything useful (yet).

With pacman-static from the French mirror and small fixes worked perfectly
Unfortunately i couldnt find an official pacman-static on ftp.archlinux.org
I 've tried to create a pacman-static from the source of pacman - but my efforts werent successful
But in the end i was able to do what i really wanted with one way or another.
thanks finferflu for hint

Install 2nd HDD in Satellite S55 Laptop

How to install 2nd HDD in Satellite S55 Laptop ?

I doubt there is enough space to install another HDD. You can replace your DVD/CD-Rom with HDD Caddy to install another HDD if you are willing to get rid of DVD/CD-Rom.
Search for "Satellite S55 hdd caddy" from Google, for an example: http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=539
Maybe you can find them cheaper or ebay...

Install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without internet connection

I have successfully install a first instance of Arch Linux using Arch Linux ISO + pacstrap + pacman with internet connection.
I have updated to latest package database list (/var/lib/pacman/sync) and package cache files (/var/cache/pacman/pkg) in first instance of Arch Linux with "pacman -Swyu".
Next, I would like to install 2nd instance of Arch Linux without using internet connection.
I share the "/var/lib/pacman/sync" and "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" via NFS from first Arch Linux instance.
I boot the 2nd instance with Arch Linux ISO and attempt to install without internet connection. I mount the two NFS shares from 1st instance to "/var/cache/pacman/pkg" and "/mnt/var/lib/pacman/sync" respectively. I execute
# pacstrap -i -c /mnt"
to start installation.
I found it is almost impossible with current implementation of pacstrap script. The pacstrap script always attempt to update package database list with -Sy option.
I think some amendments on pacstrap script is needed to install Arch Linux without internet connection.

I made the edit by adding the option -o to do what you want.
I am too lazy for a feature request right now...

Do 2nd Harddrives have Verifiable/Repairable Permissions?

Hello all,
When running Disk Utility, I cannot choose to verify/repair permissions on my 2nd, non-OS harddrive, even after verifying the disk. The HD is an internal SATA drive, just like the OS disk. I thought (still think?) this was normal, but then someone mentioned verifying permissions on an Ipod. If you can verify permissions on an iPod, I should be able to verify/repair my Media HD.
What do you think? Is there some steps I should take (short of reformatting) my 2nd HD to make it verifiable? If you cannot repair permission on a non-OS disk, what is the point of having the option to repair permissions in Disk Utility on the OS disk (as you are supposed to repair permissions from the OS installer DVD).
Thanks!
CMF

Hi CMF,
Yes, Maxplanar is correct.
*"someone mentioned verifying permissions on an iPod"*
~ either mistakenly, or it was an iPod with the "Disk Use" option enabled and a Mac OS X backup installed on it.
*"If you cannot repair permission on a non-OS disk, what is the point of having the option to repair permissions in Disk Utility on the OS disk (as you are supposed to repair permissions from the OS installer DVD)?"*
Permissions Repair are another matter, that you are mistaking with Disk Repair.
~ Permissions Repair can be done when booted from the same boot volume, because it is only about comparing default system files with (hopefully not) modified or corrupted ones.
~ Disk Repair has to be done while booted from another volume, because it's about taking care of the entire volume structure in many ways that involve not only the simple system file level.
_iPod or external HD dedicated for storage only:_
Now if it's about Disk Repair, yes you can do it, and it's a good idea to do it.
Nothing to do with Permissions.

Blue Screen after installing 2nd HD as Slave

As soon as I installed a 2nd HD as slave, I get the occasional blue screen, with the following:
MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION
Stop: 0x0000009C (0x00000004, 0x805366F0, 0xB2000000, 0x00070F0F)
I have had no problems for the past two weeks until I installed this 2nd HD. By the way, the 2nd HD is relatively new, I have used it in another computer and has never given me problems.
Here are the steps I took and what I observed:
1) I BOOT using the 1st HD (PRIMARY). I disabled the 2nd HD from "Device Manager". (Basically, I am trying to isolate the two drives)
2) Everything is fine. I can work and play games while I am using the 1st drive.
3) Next, I BOOT using the 2nd HD (SLAVE). I disabled the 1st HD from "Device Manager".
4) Problems begin. I get that Blue Screen - sometimes during the BOOTING, sometimes while I am working in windows.
It seems to come down to something going on with the "slave channel"
I have installed the NVIDIA CK8S Parallel ATA Controller (v2.5) as well as updating to (v2.6).
Here are my system specs:
OS: Windows XP (All updates, excluding service pack 2)
AThlon64 2800+
MSI K8N Neo Platinum (MS-7030)
1 GB OCZ PC3500 memory
ATI x800pro
Western Digital WD800JB (Primary)
Western Digital WD800BB (Secondary)
Audigy 2 ZS
Please Help!

well, as I suspected you have 18amps on the 12v rail, same as me, I get those same errors when burning a DVD from an ISO, (got the BSOD 3 times actually), doing the same thing, and the other day I got it while surfing, I have a high quality PSU, a thermaltake 480 but unfortunately it has also 18amps on the 12v rail, so I'm waiting to duplicate the BSOD and take out some parts to see if the problem remains...
I did this the other day to check how much current I was using.. I don't believe this is not even 90% accurate, but at least to give you an idea..
AMPS
7.73 - cpu
0.30 - mother
0.25 - system fan
0.25 - 2nd system fan
0.25 - PSU Fan 1
0.25 - PSU Fan 2
0.25 - cpu fan
2 - 2x ide HDD
0.85 - DVD Drive
0.75 - DVD RW Drive
13amps === Total
Now, if you have a 18amps power supply remember that those specifications could be under ideal conditions, (no heat, etc). I assume that what mine is really providing is something between 13 - 15 amps, yours could be even lower, do you have another PSU you could try with? (I don't, so I haven't had the chance),
Also, if that doesn't help, try removing all the other components from your system, and leaving only the most basic stuff,,,e.g. remove fans (leave cpu fan of course), cdrom, dvd, floppy, video card, etc etc, leave just the two harddrives.... please let me know if that solved the problem for I'm also thinking about getting another PSU.. but wanted to make sure before..

Installing 2nd Internal HDD, Cleaning Out Original

Hi everyone. I know this question has been asked before, but I can't find the exact situation I'm in in my searches.
I've just physically installed a second internal HDD in my G5, but other than clicked Initialize during the first prompt, have done nothing with it. I would like to take the opportunity to clean out my original drive in the process. Can someone direct me to a tutorial on copying my material to the 2nd hard drive, cleaning out the first, and then moving everything back onto the first?
I see some threads about cloning, but wasn't quite sure if that's what I needed. I'm kinda new to installing drives, disk utility, and such. I appreciate your help.

Hi. In that case you could clone your current drive to the new one with CCC
http://www.bombich.com/software/ccc.html
Run Disk Utility > Verify Disk and Repair Permissions on the current drive before you clone. The CCC Help is worth a look.
Then boot from the new drive by selecting the boot drive before you Shutdown, in System Preferences > Startup Disc - or Startup holding down the Option(alt) key and select the boot drive from those offered. (Can be a bit slow to find the boot drives sometimes)
Boot several times from the new drive to make sure it's ok.
Then you can delete the unwanted files from the old boot drive.
Or - once you have cloned - and tested that you can boot from it - you could erase and install a new system on the 'old' drive, and download and install the combo 10.5.2 updater
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1052comboupdate.html
and then copy your files from the cloned 'new' drive.
The possibilities are endless... Good Luck.

Error while installing 2nd exchange 2007 on our domain

We are installing the 2nd exchange 2007 on our domain - for obvious reasons of not able to upgrage the exisitng version to SP3 RU10 - as the server crashes everytime we do an update.
So we thought we will setup a second new exchange 2007 server with all HT MB & CAS & update it fully and move the mailboxes etc.
1st Exchange Server: EXCH01
2nd Exchange Server: EXCH02
We are doing a fresh install on a fresh vmware machine
OS: Windows Server Enterprise Service Pack 2
Exchange 2007 Service Pack 1
During the hub transport installation part we ran into an error
Exchange Server component Hub Transport Role failed.
Error: Error:
Property IsProvisionedServer cannot be set on this object because it requires the object to have version 0.1 (8.0.535.0) or later. Current version of the object is 0.0 (6.5.6500.0).
Log Name: Application
Source: MSExchangeSetup
Event ID: 1002
Now I am unable to uninstall the application as well, even while uninstalling the same error is thrown.
Also, when we open the EMC on 1st exchange server we get an error saying
"Warning:
Object PGCMAIL01 has been corrupted and it is in an inconsistent state. The following validation errors have occurred:
Warning:
Cannot calculate value of property "AdminDisplayVersion": "SerialNumber property is not present.".

Hi,
According to your description, I understand that failed install second Exchange 2007 with error “Property IsProvisionedServer cannot be set on this object because it requires the object to have version 0.1 (8.0.535.0) or later. Current version of the object
is 0.0 (6.5.6500.0).”.
If I misunderstand your concern, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Which current Exchange version are you used in your environment?
I want to double confirm whether run Setup /PrepareAD and Setup /PrepareDomain to complete the prerequisite preparation. More details about Preparing Active Directory for Exchange 2007, for your reference:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288907(v=exchg.80).aspx. If not, please run it and try again.
Besides, we can use ADSIEdit to double check the version and get more clear-cut error message in Exchange Setup log.
Thanks

2nd harddrive no longer mounting

I have had my mac pro for 3 years without issue. Today I rebooted and my second internal HDD no longer shows up in finder or on the desktop. I bought the computer with 2 500gb drives in it and they have both always mounted when I boot up. I opened the case and unplugged both drives and re-installed both drives. When I booted back up I saw both drives again. I then opened utorrent and did a force recheck on the files that were qued (files downloading to the 2nd drive) and utorrent locked up. When I force quit utorrent the drive vanished again. Not sure if any of that is related, but I wanted to tell everything I was doing at the time.
Please excuse any typos, I'm on my iPhone because my Internet is out...+1 for multiple computer issues!

Your second drive is dead. Replace it and move on. I would also advise against recovery services, since you are pirating copyrighted material. You may just get that conscientious employee who reports you to the BSA, RIAA, MPAA, etc.

Install 2nd DVD Drive in Mac Pro 1,1 or 3,1

Would anyone have info on installing a 2nd optical drive in either the 1st-Generation or 3rd Generation Mac Pro? Seems ticky to open the optical compartment open. Thanks.

The instructions can be found here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/0/MA177/en_US/MacPro_OpticalDrive_DIY.pdf
Edit: Note, you need to remove the bezel off of the drive drawer before installing. And make sure you keep the latch on the back of the computer in the up position, it locks the drive carrier in place when in the down position. It can take some wiggling and effort to get the drive carrier out.

HP Envy dv7 7250us problems installing 2nd Hard Drive

I recently cloned my 1TB HDD to an SSD (500GB) or basically restored to it through Acronis, and it finally worked, but then I tried to install the 1 TB original drive in the 2nd Drive Bay, but when the 2nd connector is plugged into the second SATA slot, the power button doesn't work. I disconnect the plug and the power button works again. I couldn't find anything in the BIOS setup that you have to turn on to recognize the second drive. Any clues?
Thanks,
Wendell Fry
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I did the switch out of the long 2nd connector and the connector/adapter that came with the tray (short like the original one) didn't work either. I hope it's not, but I suspect the connector receptor on the motherboard would be the next problem to think about. Something with it is making the power switch not connect. I don't know, when I disconnect the 2nd connector, it power's/boots right up.

Mbp installing additional harddrive

Hi,
I am using a Macbook Pro and I'm noticing that I am very quickly losing disk space on my 80gb hard drive. I am really hoping there is somewhere I can take my computer and have an additional harddrive installed. I would love to be able to have a 200gb drive for all my documents and use my 80gb for OS and applications and things like that. Do you think this will be possible? I am not confident about opening my MBP up and trying to do it myself, I have paid too much for this computer. Its not a hobby PC computer that you have when growing up and dont care if it stops working
Thanks,
Scott
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Yea I thought that might be an option (taking it to a apple store) and upgrading the harddrive. Is there a Macbook Pro limit on the size you can get for a HD, and are Apple HD's more expensive than third party ones? Also, do you know if it'd be possible to transfer my existing HD all over onto a new one (say 160gb) and keep all documents and applications (mainly because I am lazy and would like to avoid installing all my software again + their are limited installs allowed on programs like Adobe Creative Suite CS2 Education Edition)
I'm avoiding a external HD because I dont want to have to carry it with me everywhere + I already use my firewire port for a Mixer when recording music.

Adobe Premiere CC won't install 2nd copy

Had Premiere CC on two computers. Uninstalled from one. Even though I have on only one computer now Adobe CC says I have it on two and will not let me install it on the 2nd one.
Thanks,

Did you sign out (Help > Sign Out) before you uninstalled?
You probably need to contact Adobe to get your activation count reset.

Can't install 2nd copy of Photoshop CC

Installed 2nd graphics card in HP Pavillion Windows 8.1, but displays remain blank (no signal).

Model #: 500-314
Product #: F3E92AA#ABA
I just upgraded to a new HP, and need to run 4 displays. I purchased a 2nd video card (Radeon R7 240), installed it, overcame the secure boot issue, but the additional 2 displays are blank.
When I check for the graphic cards, it only shows the AMD Radeon R7 Graphics card.
Also, the R7 240 CD with the drivers, does not open. when I click on it. It just shows the little blue circle like its working on opening the program, but it does not open the program. So I went to the Radeon website and downloaded the drivers for the R7 240. It installed Catalyst, but still nothing.
What can I do to make this work?
Thank you

Hi:
When you install an add on graphics card, the onboard video is automatically disabled and cannot be enabled.
That info has been left off of the product specs page.
You can check to see if there is a BIOS setting to enable the onboard video but I doubt there is one.
I can't help you with why you are having issues with the add on card.
All I can say is that if you did not first uninstall the graphics drivers from the onboard graphics before you installed the new card, that is probably the problem.
