Installing Windows 7 one Mac Pro with SL RAID0, and 1 extra drive 4 windows

So i have snow leopard installed on a RAID 0. I also have a single remaining hdd that has my old Leopard on it. I want to install windows 7 on that remaining internal hdd but bootcamp won't allow me to run setup because it says it doesn't support RAIDs, even though i'm not trying to install windows on the RAID.
Can someone please help me out here? Someone on another forum suggested an AHCI, but i have no experience with them. Be Detailed if you could...

First, try doing what I first suggested, pull your RAID.
Boot Camp Assistant is more trouble than it is worth, and it isn't needed for what you want to do. Format the drive with Disk Utility to MBR/FAT, or just let Windows DVD do it all.

  • Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite

    Have a student / teacher subscription. Trying to download and install applications on new mac pro with yosemite. Old applications still work on older Mac Pro. Can't download any applications. Creative Cloud website and desktop app both fail. Very frustrating. Anyone having this problem?

    Chas50 I would recommend removing the currently installed Adobe Creative software.  You can then install the new versions of the Adobe Creative software included with your membership.  You can find complete details regarding the uninstall and install process at Install and update apps - https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/help/install-apps.html.

  • Mac Pro with software raid and upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Not sure if anyone else has experienced this but here goes. I have a mac pro with 4 500G drives using the onboard software raid. When I insert the Snow Leopard disk and try to install, it fails to find the raid. Is there a trick to get this to work?

    Thank you SSSOOO much Greg818. I was pulling my hair out over this problem. I even went so far as to do a full Leopard install with Snow Leopard update on a USB drive and them cloned it over to my RAID 0 array using SuperDuper hoping that this would solve the problem. It seemed to in the sense that the clone went fine but then when I would try and boot from the array I would get the Apple Logo and spinning wheel but it just kept spinning and spinning until finally the Apple logo was replaced by the Do Not Enter symbol(you know the circle with the slash through it).
    So came here and found this thread. Your solution worked like charm!!! Once again thank you so much... you saved me from being bald.

  • I have a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and FCP7 installed I would like to run FCP7 and FCPX on the same computer, is this OK

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with Mac OS X version 10.6.8, I use this for video editing with FCP7. I would also like to install FCPX, my operating system is Snow Leopard. Is this OK or do I need to up-grade my operating system. I want to be able to use FCP7 and FCPX on the same Computer. Your advise will be appreciated.

    You will see from the hardware spec that the latest version of FCP X requires Mavericks.
    The Mavericks spec shows you can upgrade to Mavericks on your Mac Pro.
    Ensure you have a bucket full of RAM installed.

  • Installing Leopard on a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard

    I have several applications that are not yet compatible with Snow Leopard, I've just bought a Mac Pro 8 core and It comes with snow leopard, is there a problem if I install Leopard 10.5.8 on the Mac Pro and migrate all my information from my Mac Book Pro ?

    There is a problem, unfortunately. A Mac can't run an older version of OS X than the version that shipped with it. See here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

  • HT1752 I both one Mac Pro 15" March 2009  and five month ago I have to change the harddrive and put some actional memories, since I have to make the upgrade for Lion IOS. Now the motherboard fails. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this probl

    Hi everyone. I both a Mac Pro 15" in March 2009. Five month ago I  was forced to buy by one new hard drive and extent the memory, because I had to make the upgrade (and pay) to install the new Lion operation system. Four days ago the Mother-board fails. To change it will cost a fortune. What should I do or expect from Apple to solve this problem? I am very disappointed because my trust on Apple was destroyed.

    I am not sure why you are upset with Apple. Electronics equipment does fail. If the product is out of warranty or you do not have AppleCare there's not much you can do with Apple. Apple will charge you for the repair. Suggest you look for a third party repair store since they are usually less expensive than Apple. Alternatively you can buy one for about $850US and install it yourself. Sorry, but there aren't many choices in this situation.

  • No Signal on Mac Pro with Radeon X1900 and ViewSonic VA1912wb monitor

    I have a Mac Pro (purchased in Summer 2007) with an ATI Radeon X1900 (512mb) graphics card. I am connecting the card to a ViewSonic VA1912wb (LCD) monitor.
    When I first bought the system, it worked perfectly fine with the monitor. While it did not detect any display at certain times (when trying to install Windows XP for Boot Camp, and sometimes when starting up Boot Camp), I understand this had something to do with the video mode, and when I connected an old CRT monitor, everything worked fine.
    Now, when I turn on my Mac Pro, the display sometimes does not show up at all. I often have to start and restart my Mac 5 or 10 times before the ViewSonic monitor will detect a signal and display. Sometimes even more (I was unable to get a display at all last night, after restarting over 20 times).
    Does anyone know why this could be? It's very frustrating to have a nice computer and a nice monitor, but not be sure if I'll be able to start it up at all.

    First you got to isolate the problem... is it the monitor, the graphic card, or the cable.
    The easiest way to find it out, is to connect another display. Does it work, you know the monitor is to blame... if not, it's the graphic card or the cable.
    Try another cable... if it still don't work, it's the graphic card.
    I have the same graphic card and while surfing around the net, I figured out that these specific model has to be treated very carefully because it is overheating very fast. So it's strictly recommended to clean it every once in a while from dust... using compressed air.
    Search around the net and you can find workarounds and pictures. Like this for example: http://www.macosg.com/group/viewtopic.php?t=13207

  • 2012 Mac mini with 27" DP and TB external drive?

    Hi,
    I'm about to purchase a 2012 Mac mini and wanted to use the thunderbolt port to run a laci external drive for backups etc.
    I currently have the 2010 Mac mini which plugs into a 27" Cinema Display (non thunderbolt).
    What options do I have to continue to use the Cinema Display via the thunderbolt port, and run the external dive as well?
    Is there such a thing as a thunderbolt splitter?
    Regards
    Jonathan

    You need to know what to search for in google in order to use it.
    So seems there thunderbolt hubs (as per the link posted) but they're mostly rubbish.
    Also buying a Thunderbolt Display is not an option.
    Seems I'll have to wait for one of the better hubs to be released. The ones out currently aren't up to scratch (according to google).
    Thanks anyway

  • How do I get Mac Pro with Lion Server to restart at a set time when users are connected?

    I have recently configured a Mac Pro with Lion Server, and have set it to restart automatically every morning at 3am. When I arrive in the morning, I notice that it has not rebooted, usually because it states there are users connected. Is there a way to automatically disconnect users so that the machine will reboot.  No one is ACTIVELY connected at this time of the morning, but may still be logged in somewhere. I did see where I can log out users after a set period of time when using Workgroup Manager to manage a computer or computer group, but I don't use the server to manage all of the computers that have users log in.
    Thanks!

    Well, it doesn't necessarily have to be each and every night, but it was for the sole purpose of preventing sluggishness. We had it set up before, as Snow Leopard Server and it would restart every night. It would occasionally be slow and need rebooting, however a manual reboot was not possible by most people in the store as they did not have credentials to screen share and restart it - which would result in holding down the power button to shut it down.
    The server is used for the sole purpose of logging in about 50 users just so they can customize their experience, as well as saving items to their own home folders.  The store is closed during the night, and there is no reason anyone would be accessing it during the night.

  • Mac PRo with raid card shipped with drive not suitable for raid?

    Hi all,
    I ordered a Mac Pro with raid card and a 1TB hard drive. The drive which came in the computer was WDC WD1001FALS which is not a hard drive rated for raid usage. On Western Digital's site they suggest using WD1002FBYS.
    Is the model WD1001FALS the correct drive which Apple ships although one ordered the raid card?

    The WD 640GB Blue, and WD 1TB Black are the only drive options for the mac pro; that's what you choose.
    The RE3 (or FBYS) is not an option sold through apple. Buying the raid card, is not going to change the drive.
    On whether to use the RE3 over the Blacks, it depends on how you will be using it. From what I've heard, the Blacks are enterprise drives themselves; basically with just a less robust firmware (no TLER). If you will have the drives on 24/7 in a raid 5, then yes, RE3 will probably be better. If not, I think the black will suffice; note the blacks are GREAT drives by themselves anyway.
    The apple raid card can connect to both SATA and SAS drives internally, however most times people buying the raid card want to use it for SAS drives. There are a lot more cheaper and possibly a lot more stable options then apple's raid card if you are looking to use SATA drives.
    Check amug:

    A common problem with the apple raid card is the battery:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MA849Z/B?mco=NDc1ODczNw
    Lastly about enterprise drives, truthfully I don't see the difference really. I have enterprise drives in a 8-drive raid5 config running 24/7 as a server. 2 drives died on me after about 4 months. To top it off, they died within 10 min of each other, crushing the raid to pieces. Granted they were Seagate ES.2's, it's understandable
    The boot drive of the server is a stock desktop WD drive and running 24/7. It's been running for almost 4 years straight.

  • I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?

    It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
    You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
    Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
    Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard.
