Jumper Settings for new Hard Disks in RAID

How do i have to jumper new disks which should be added to my RAID. In factory settings they come with the cable select setting. Do i have to set all the jumpers to master or does cable select work too?

I know that setting the drive to slave didn't work when I tried it just for curiosity's sake.
It may vary by drive vendor whether you use 'cable select' or 'master.' My xserve raid's a little busy right now so don't want to pull my drives out to look but I'm think that half my drives are set to 'cable select' (maxtor 250GB drives in my left bank) and the other half (hotachi 500GB drives in the right bank) are set to 'master.'
You'll know pretty quickly if it works or not: when you put the drive carrier into the chassis, the drive carrier's status LED (not the blue activity light but the tri-color LED adjacent to it) red light will either turn to green or not. If it turns green, the system has recognized the drive as a valid candidate, if the LED remains red it has determined the drive is not.
You can also click on the individual drive in RAID Admin to determine individual drive status.
FYI, I use RAID Admin 1.5 w/1.5 firmware, have SFP controllers, dual 512k cache, dual cache batteries

Jumper settings for new hard drive

i'm installing a WD Caviar 120GB ATA-100 drive on my parents' 450mHz G4. The WD intallation drive indicates a need to place a jumper over pins 3 & 4 of the new drive, but need a jumper be used on the Mac's old drive? It's only 6GB in size and is what i'd like to use as the master drive. i believe the jumper on the old drive is over pins 5 & 6. Thanks!
iBook, Power Mac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

The new drive has the proper jumper setting, is in the middle (and correct) ATA cable position, and is recognized and has been formatted by the computer. Unfortunately, when i boot the G4 the blinking globe appears for about ten seconds, and then the "no OS" folder appears for another ten seconds before OS X successfully loads and the computer operates normally, with both drives functioning fine. Almost a success story, but it makes me nervous. Thanks for all the help so far!

Accessing Time Capsule files for new hard disk

under AppleCare i have just had replaced a New Fusion drive and i want to access my Time Capsule in order to retrieve my files etc. However i cannot access it. i can see the 'sparse bundle' but Time Machine won't open/recognize it.
how do i access these files?
BTW the material on the TC was from the last system, Mavericks, and now Yosemite 10.01 is on the new FD>
thanx
safed

There is no way to get earlier files if none are available..
I am not sure how you are opening this but if you are not seeing the most recent backup.. please open the sparsebundle via finder and open the most recent available backup.
I gave the instructions here to do it.
Can't access old files on time capsule
The other alternative is to buy a USB drive.. and plug that into the computer.. recover the whole sparsebundle to the USB drive.. and pick the files from there. TM cannot be relied upon.. especially if it is now more than 2 years since you backed up.

I need to configure a new hard disk as backup disk for time machine. The set up program is running and it says it will take 9 days to backup about 56 GB. Is it normal ?

I started this morning at 12 and after 5 hours now the backup is about 6 GB up on 56 GB.
The new HD is a WD My Passport Edge 500 GB capacity
5 hours to do 6 GB of transfer is NOT normal, even for USB 2.0 so there's something wrong here. I'd say cancel it, wipe the drive and then test the integrity of the drive. Do some file transfers over to and see if it's behaving normally. It could be a bad USB cable, it could be a bad drive or bad enclosure. As it's new, I suspect you haven't really put it through its paces yet and it's important to do that first before commissioning it to serve as your "reliable backup."

Where could I buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A)

Does anyone know where I could buy a new hard disk for my macbook pro 15''(MB986CH/A) (mid 2009)? The hard drives sold in Apple Store are not for macbook pro... Thanks a lot!

At one time Apple use to put an Apple firmware on the drives installed into Mac computer. That is not the case anymore. And even if they did that firmware was just to indentify the drive as an Apple drive. Those same drives would work in any computer and any drive would work in a Mac computer. Same is true today. There are NO Apple Mac drives. Apple uses the exact same drives as any other computer.
Apple uses the exact same hardware as all other computers. Same CPU, GPU, RAM, Drives, DVD drives you name it, it is the same as any PC.
Good Luck but just because you go to a Mac-centric store doesn't mean it is any different then what you would buy some place else, other then it may cost more from one of those Mac-centric places.

New hard disk for HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc

I need to get af new hard disk drive for my HP Pavilion All-in-One MS228sc. I have great difficulties in getting in touch with HP denmark since my product is out of waranty.
My questions is if the PC can handle a disk larger than my current on on 500 GB. Further more I am not sure about other potential limits the PC could have ini regards to speed and other parameters on a new disk drive
This question was solved.

As your computer is out of warranty, please purchase a 500GB - 2TB 3.5" SATA2 or 3 hard drive from an online or local retailer. If the new drive is an AF (Advanced Format) drive, you may have issues using the HP Recovery Media you created or purchased.
If this is the case and you can still read the 25-digit Windows product key on the Microsoft COA affixed to your computer, you can install Windows 7 using this key. Please see "How to Install Windows 7 Without the Disc" for instructions on how to download Windows 7, create the installation media, and install Windows 7 using the 25-digit product key from the Microsoft COA on your computer. This method will not install any HP customizations or value-added software and you will have to manually install all needed drivers.
Links to Windows 7 SP1 can be found HERE and HERE. (Download the Windows 7)
Direct link to Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool. (Use to create the media from the ISO)

Hi there ricalimo,
I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps in the article below. If the issue is location specific, than you may want to save the article so you can perform troubleshooting when you are experiencing trouble.

Need to install clean OS on new hard disk for MacBook air

I have just installed a new hard disk on my MacBook air. How do I format and install OS?
What OS to install?
How to format?
The origin hard disk is dead!

Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Steps 4-6 are optional but should be used on a drive that has never been formatted before, if the format type is not Mac OS Extended, if the partition scheme has been changed, or if a different operating system (not OS X) has been installed on the drive.

New hard disk not detected on openboot

hello guys,
would like to request help if there are any settings i need to enable for a netra t1 to detect the new hard disks that were added on a dell disk array. the netra t1 is able to detect scsi hds 1-3 but not the 8-11. have checked netra t1 manual and it says that it supports both narrow and wide scsi. probe scsi only shows the following disks:
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2
Target 0
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318404LSUN18G 8590
Target 1
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 2
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 3
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
the new disks are of the same model. any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello,
the netra t1 is able to detect scsi hds 1-3 but not the 8-11.
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/scsi@2

Target 2
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
Target 3
Unit 0 Disk SEAGATE ST318406LC 8A03
This is an incomplete output of probe-scsi. Which of these disks are internal (maybe only ID 0?) ?
Set auto-boot? to FALSE at the ok-prompt. Temporarily insert one of the new disks in the slot of one of the detected disks (e.g. ID3). Is the disk now detected at the OBP ? If it is, there is something wrong with the external chassis.
I assumed that this is a Netra T1 AC200/DC200 with only a single channel SCSI controller.

New hard disk not detected when plugged into SUN FIRE X4150

Hi
We have a server currently set up as RAID-1. There's a need to have additional space for operational needs so an additional 300GB hard disk was acquired and need not be in RAID-1 setup. It was plugged into the server and the server seems to hang i.e. remote sessions terminated, cannot be ping.
Server was powered down, and after removing the hard disk, powered up. Everything is ok again.
We then powered down the server, plugged in the hard disk, and powered it up. Server boot up into the OS ok but the new hard disk did not get detected.
My questions are:-
1. Is it possible to add a 3rd hard disk in a RAID-1 server?
2. If yes, what are we doing wrong or missed?
3. If it not possible, does it mean in a RAID-1 setup, any additional hard disk to be added MUST also be RAID-1 configured?

Hi.
This server can be ordered with LSI RAID controller or with Adaptec RAID controller.
They are required different steps for configure disks.
Adaptec RAID controller require first create volume at BIOS level RAID configuration menu.

NEED HELP, old hard disk failed, new hard disk not detected.

My hard disk died, not working, not detected when I restart with the MacOS X DVD and attempt to reinstall.
I have bought a new hard drive, 160 GB ATA - IDE Samsung drive, and carefully replaced it following service manual instructions. All connectors have been carfully but firmly reconnected, and the new hard disk is not detected.
What can i do?? where is the problem??
Thank you very much for your help.

Do you know that the new hard drive is working? As it's new chances are it is, just asking .... do you know it's powering up? If you replug the old not working hard drive in, is it recognized? (this is where you don't put the computer back together, but just replace the hard drive and sort of close it back up, but don't use any bolts close the case). Plus you can feel or clearly hear if the drive is starting up or not.

New hard disk on old imac - best way to transfer back-up from Time Machine??

Hello,
The hard disk on my 2008 iMac died and I just got my computer back from the repair guy, who installed a new hard disk (and the latest Yosemite).
Which is the best (and most fail-proof) way for me to transfer all the stuff from the old hard disk - which is on my Time Machine – to the new one?
Before getting repaired, my iMac was running on Mavericks. My Internet access has also changed (it broke down the same week… ). Don't know it that makes a difference.

Connect your backup drive to the computer. Because you had Mavericks installed before you can only restore your Home folder from the backup. Use Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder to transfer your Home folder, third-party applications and support files, and system preferences. Upon completion you will have two user accounts. The one you are now using and the migrated one. Log out of the account you are using then log into the migrated account. Open Users & Groups preferences, click on the lock icon and enter your admin password for the migrated account. Select the account you were using and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the option to delete immediately.

Installing FF to a new hard disk, how to transfer passwords from the old installation?

I have FF installed to Win2k on a hard disk. I have installed Win7 on a new hard disk and I want to move passwords from the old installation to the new one.
It would be great if I could move all the links I get when I click the http://........ field also.

You can retrieve these from your old Profile. See [[Profiles]] which explains what they contain, and [[Managing Profiles]] for an explanation of how to move your data to the new profile.

Installing Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade in a new hard disk

I have an U330 and I have received Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade disc. My pre-installed OS is Windows Vista.
I bought a new 500 Gb hard disk and I want to change my U330's hd for this new one AND also want to install Windows 7 in this new hard disk.
Question: is is possible to install windows 7 using Lenovo Windows 7 upgrade discs directly in this new hard disk?
Or do I need first to change the hard disk (and restore backup or restore factory default) and then upgrade to Windows 7?
Thanks in advance

I dont think it is possible,the upgrade disk will check for a eligible version of Windows vista before starting the installtion
Cheers and regards,
