Installing x86 v9 issues - missing hdd?

Hello,
I've spent the best part of today installing multiple OS across 2 hdds with few problems save for Solaris x86 9
I downloaded the iso images a while ago, hence v9 not v10.
My issue is that I do not get presented with a choice of which hdd I want to install to, just the 1st, which is referred to as c0d0. I have a relatively modern PC whose BIOS allows selection of boot device etc and I have two, again modern, hdd - both on the primary IDE controller. I am currently booting from the 2nd hdd as I am (very) loath to messing with my lovely, extremely stable and long lived set-up on the 1st hdd.
hdd 1: WinXP/Linux/[data exchange]
hdd2: Linux/Solaris*/NT2003/[Linux;Linux;Linux;Linux;NTFS;NTFS]
/../ = primary [..] = logical *= active
The reference to the Solaris partition is in hope more than anything as it is currently empty.
Any ideas where I should start to resolve this issue? I have been using the "Multi-booting Solaris" guide to help me though this install as well as alot of the stuff at BigAdmin but nothing really has hit the spot yet!
Thanks for any help you can provide
LouisXIV (totally ironic moniker)
I have tried physically disconnecting the 1st hdd and that did then allow access to the 2nd hdd as c0d1 but then other issues arose...

Hello and Doh!
I solved my own problem - I used CD1 instead of the Install CD and everything went smoothly from there - I guess I should have read the manual!
Just need to sort out the sound now I'll be v pleased with myself ;0

Your HD may be crashed, so you probably should use the oringinal install discs to run Apple Hardware Test in extended mode. If error codes appear this confirms a hardware failure. In addition you cannnot repair the HD using Disk Utility from the startup disk, you have to use the origninal Install discs that shipped with the computer or the most up-to-date version of OS X on a disc that you have.

HT4623 iPhone 4s will not boot after trying to install ios7 beta 4. Stops at apple logo with progress line under it. how can I reset it or get it back up to do a restore then try the iOS 7 beta 4 install again. Issue was probably caused by disconnection

Obviously since you have iOS 7 you're a developer. As a developer, you signed a NDA with Apple not to discuss the iOS on a public forum. Please log in to the Developer Forum using your credentials and ask for help there, lest you risk having your credentials terminated.
Thanks, and best of luck to you.

Installing OSX on brand new HDD on Macbook Pro 13" Mid 2009

I have installed a brand new solid state hard drive in my macbook pro 13" mid 2009.
I replaced the old hard drive because it was failing.
Now that I have the new hard drive installed I am struggling to get OS X installed onto the new hard drive. I have ruled out using a USB enclosure on the old hard drive to do the transfer because it was failing.
I do have the original OSX snow leopard start up disk. I have tried using this to install OSX onto the new HDD but it would not work.
I think it might be because the new HDD is unformatted?
I have also been into disk utility to try to resolve this but this does not work.
I have tried partitioning the new HDD but I get an error message "Partition failed .... POSIX reports: The operation cannot be completed. Cannot allocate memory".
I have also tried the restore function in Disk Utility to restore the disk using my time machine backup disk, but I get the error "Could not erase target - Operation not permitted"
I have also tried to restore the HDD from a time machine backup, but when I try to select a Destination it says the "disk does not have enough space to restore your system"
Any suggestions on how to solve this would be much appreciated

I assume that you have an original Leopard installation disk or a white retail Snow Leopard disk.
Start your MBP with one of these disks holding the C key down.
Commence the installation process until you get a display with the menu bar on top.
Click on UTILITIES.
From the drop down menu, click on Disk Utility.
Select Disk Utility>Erase.
Format the SSD to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)'.
Continue the OSX installation.
Ciao.

What is the best way to run/install games onto an external HDD?

I would like to either install Windows on another partition on my 256GB SSD on the new rMBP and run games off an external, or install Windows on an external and games as well. What would be the most efficient (price wise) way to do this without having to sacrifice speed? I was thinking I could use an external thunderbolt hard drive, but it seems like they are all over $300 and over 1TB. I would only really need around 500GB with preferably 7200RPM speeds. Would USB 3.0 be fast enough or would I need to use thunderbolt? I prefer not to have to install 30GB games on the Windows partition on a small 256GB SSD, though I guess I could uninstall and reinstall them as I need (but does this wear down the SSD write speeds over time?) I couldn't get myself to pay another $600 to get a 512GB SSD logic board on the rMBP.
Thanks for any help. If there are alternative solutions for running games on an external feel free to recommend them.

If it is possible to install Windows on an external HDD without Bootcamp, then I'd be fine with that. The only problem I see with that is installing the necessary boot files, but it seems like it could be possible to do it manually. I've never done it before though.
Running programs off an external should be fine so long as they don't have to access Windows OS files directly (supposing Windows was installed on the internal SSD), no?

I bought used iMac 2007 with Mavericks installed but iPhotos was missing. I reinstalled Mavericks but didn't get iPhoto. Now if I want it I have to buy it? Is there a way to install it without having to pay for it?

If you own any verson of iPhoto '11 then there is a free update to version 9.5.x in the App store
If you own a previous version of iPhto (iPhoto '09 or earlier) then as always an upgrade to a new version (in this case iPhoto '11) is a paid upgrade and you purchase it in the App store
and no OS update/upgrade contains a version of iPhto - it is a seperate program and although it is included as part of every new Mac it is not a free program and never has been sinve version 1 or 2 (I forget when it changes)

Installing from SD card to HDD

Hey. So, I'm new to Arch Linux and have run into this problem, I hope somebody can help.
I'm attempting to install Arch Linux on my Samsung NC10, via an SD card and memory card reader. After reading around, I used the dd command to fix the SD card's MBR, on another machine, and put the Arch ISO on the SD card via UNetbootin. Just to clarify, I'm using the SD to install Arch on the netbook HDD, not actually installing it on the SD card.
Anywho, after booting into the SD card (which worked fine), I am prompted with the UNetbootin screen, which asks me if I wish to boot 'default' or 'boot Arch Linux'; both of which give me the following error after printing various sucessful boot processes to the screen:
ERROR: Boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds. . .
Falling back to interactive prompt
You can try to fix the problem manually, log out when you are finished.
/bin/sh: can't access tty: job control turned off
[ramfs /]#
I am able to enter limited commands, however I do not see anything that is useful (no small part to me being newbie in this department).
So my question is, how can I fix this in order to install Arch?
Cheers!

Help Installing Leopard and issues with partition maps.

Hi, i've been trying to install leopard on my MacPro G5 to no avail, as my super-drive had failed, i've tried pulling out the HDD and mounting it via an external enclosure and connecting the mounted HDD to my Intel based mac and installing Leopard from a disc running from my Intel based mac to the mounted HDD from my MacPro.
The problem i've encountered is with the partition maps, OSX installer does not allow me to install Leopard onto the external HDD with Apple Partition Map and insists i re-partition it as GUID which i can't do so as it'll mean i wouldn't be able to boot it from my MacPro G5, thus i'm wondering if anyone have an idea on how to get Leopard installed in such circumstances.
Thanks!

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
First, let's get the terms straight.
There is a Mac Pro, which is an Intel processor, using EFI and utilizing the GUID partition map.
There is a G5, which is a PPC processor, using Open Firmware and the APM scheme.
There is no Mac Pro G5
A Mac Pro can use an APM mapped drive to boot from, but cannot install an OS to it.
In order to install an OS to a drive while installed in or connected to a Mac Pro, the drive must be formatted using the GUID scheme.
A G5 must use an APM formatted drive to boot.
To install Leopard on a G5, one must use a retail version of Leopard (not a gray disc that shipped with an Intel Mac), boot to the install disc, format the drive and install.

Re-install issue: "missing files" ?

My MacBook was getting slow, so I decided to try a clean re-install after backing everything up to an external drive. After I reinstalled OS X Tiger, I reloaded my apps and libraries of preferences and all from the external drive. When I tried to launch Keynote, I got a message saying, "Files that iWork needs are missing. To restore the missing files, use the iWork installer to reinstall iWork." So I tried that; I trashed the apps, deleted the iWork preferences (.plists), and re-installed from the disc, then ran Software Update until it said I was up to date. Now I'm getting the same error message. Any idea how I figure out what files are missing?
Thanks -
Eric

I was installing Dreamweaver (Mac version) and received this message. The support people gave me the tech note that says to install the most recent ExtendScript update and if this doesn't fix the problem uninstall the entire CS3 Suite. Do either or both of these things if all you have is a day to blow off. AND after you reinstall the entire suite you still have to get all the updates - more time wasted. FYI, the first time I had this issue last year I did this and it didn't fix the problem because, at least then, the uninstaller didn't remove the old ExtendScript files.
This was the real fix. Search for ExtendScript on your system. Throw all the folders in the Trash. Restart your system and run the CS3 installer. If you watch the installer the first thing it does is repair the current installation. Because the ExtendScript folder is missing it replaces it and installs the components you want. Fix time - 2 minutes.

Visual Studio 2013 Community "Re install" Issues after HDD failure

Hello,
I had a recent failure in my HDD where all my apps were installed (not the OS) and had to replace and re install a lot of apps. But VS 2013 has been given me a hard time. when I try to re install it it only gives me the option to Repair Uninstall or Modify.
I have tried all three with no avail. The errors I am getting are : Fatal Error during installation.
I have also tried to clean up reg keys and temp files. I have also tried previous answers such as re downloading the ISO and installing as admin. I have cleared my Temp folder as well.
From what I can deduce it looks like it's missing reg keys and doesn't know what to do... Here are some logs : Logs1 and Logs2
Please help

Hi kikhu_man,
By the way, please try this tool
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/mats/program_install_and_uninstall?wa=wsignin1.0 It seems this tool will also be helpful for Visual Studio 2013, I've got some feedback from other customers. I think you can also try it.

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on windows xp pro via Parallels 7 and having an issue . it states about 99% through the install that it is missing a file any suggestions?

I am trying to install Corel Draw x5 on my new iMAC. I am trying to install it on windows XP Pro via Parallels 7. I have already installed some other programs without any issues so this has me puzzled. whenever the install reaches about 99% complete it says it can not find 2 files(sorry I cant recall what it was).

The error message I get is that iTunes is trying to incorrectly open Visual C services.
Is there somebody at Apple who actually read these things or are we on our own without any iTunes?

New HDD in HP HSTNN-F05C and can't install OS due to missing driver

Hello,
I've replaced the HDD in my HP HSTNN-F05C netbook.
The I've copied Win8 and later Win7, both, 64 and 32 Bit versions on a bootable USB stick.
All starts well, the installation starts, asks for the language and goes on.
Some seconds later, the installer asks for a missing CD, DVD or HDD driver.
As tehre are no optical drivers I assume it's a HDD driver.
There are no CDs otd DVDs around and I can't find the missing drivers on the HP downloads.
Can anybody please point me to the downlod of the missing dirvers?
Regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
If you visit this page and enter your product name or number, you should be able to reach your drivers.
Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

WinProducer install issue - missing dll

I purchased a G4MX440-VTD8X video card with the bundled WinProducer / WinCoder software. When I attempt to install I get....
..main menu
..click on install software
..click on winproducer/coder
..click on install now
..get a screen with the professional users pack stuff on it -- click next
..click i like it on the 'authoring & burningto vcs/svcdsupport' screen
..click on I like it on the divx screen
.. get winproducer setup is creating the install shield wizard....., the task bar moves to the right
.. then I get
unhandled exception
error number:0x80040707
Description:Dll function call crashed:Instutil.GetProducerProductInfo
Setup will now terminate
What am I missing? It seems that it is looking for a dll -- is it missing from the CD? Or is there something that I need to have already installed to get the product to install for me.
Thanks, Nacho

Maybe if someone had this dll file they could send it to me -- maybe I could get the install to pick it up...
