K7N2G system utilities choke on install

I finally got Win98 drivers to install on the MS-6570 board, but had to do a lot of it manually (ethernet and USB).
Several problems encountered, but the main one is that the install routine (either from the included CD or the current one posted for this board on the MSI site) chokes partway through the installation. The install routine requests the Win98 CD, and gives a window with a list of drives where the install routine is supposed to find the Win98 disk. No matter which drive is selected, it goes back to the same screen. No error message, no option to browse the CD. Not a clue about what has gone wrong.
I finally found out that the install routine will work IF YOU TELL IT BOTH THE DRIVE AND SUB-DIRECTORY that it needs to find the file it is trying to install. However, the install routine DOES NOT TELL YOU WHAT IT IS LOOKING FOR. Surely this is a problem. Should not any properly written setup routine do a recursive search of the whole disk to FIND FOR ITSELF the file it is looking for?
Anyone else having a problem like this, or am I the last one left trying to put Win98 SE on a machine this new?
Thanks.
Frank.

What system utilities do you recommend?

Hi,
I am a new switcher to Mac.
Can you please recommend what system utilities I should purchase and which brand I should purchase.
The ones I want are :
1) I need an anti-virus program (I know there are no real problems on the Mac with virus's, but it is better to be safe than sorry!)
2) A firewall. (Is the one that comes with Mac OS X good enough or should I use a commerical one?
3) A Backup program
4) A Disk utility program
5) A general system utility program for system maintenance
I would be really grateful if you experienced Mac users could give me advice on this matter.
Thank you for your help. I look forward to your responses.

Hi, Lucky Luxy.
Here are my recommendations, in order corresponding to your list:
1. re: Anti-virus: See my "Detecting and avoiding malware and spyware" FAQ for my recommendations as well as a list of some recent Mac OS X security threats that have emerged, including Trojans, rootkits, and spyware. The FAQ also addresses some of the usual arguments against installing an anti-virus solution on a Mac that often arise in discussions of this topic.
While some believe that anti-virus solutions are not required on a Mac, I feel that's ignoring the fact that threats are emerging and that security exposures continue to be found, albeit eventually closed, in Mac OS X, as in any other operating system. Even Apple now recommends that one should "check for viruses."
2. The firewall included with Mac OS X is "industrial strength." No need for a third-party firewall product.
3. A comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is essential. Computing without a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance. If you don't have a Backup and Recovery solution that you're using regularly, you're essentially accepting the risk that at some point all of your data may be lost. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
4. re: Disk Utility. I recommend having both Alsoft DiskWarrior 4.x+ (DW4) and Micromat TechTool Pro version 4.x+ (TTP4).
While both can build a new, optimized directory for a disk, I have found there are some disks that only DW4 can repair. DW4 is a "specialist" in disk directories.
Likewise, TTP4 brings a host of useful hardware testing routines that are neither in DW4 nor the Apple Hardware Test. TTP4 also includes an excellent disk defragmenter. Defragmenting is generally not required under Mac OS X 10.3 or later unless you perform an extensive amount of video editing or your disk is nearing full, in which case it may be useful. See Mac OS X: About Disk Optimization. TTP4's Surface Scan is also useful in determining if a disk has developed bad sectors.
If one owns neither utility today, the initial investment may seem like a good deal of money, but compared to your data and your time, the cost of these utilities is insignificant in the the long run. I've found their upgrades to be reasonably priced for what they do.
Neither utility is a substitute for a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. But I've seen DW4 save more than one person's bacon and the suite of hardware tests and additional functions TTP4 bring to the table make both a worthwhile investment.
If one could only purchase one now, I'd recommend they purchase DW4, then later add TTP4 when funds permit.
Better to have the tools and not need them, than to need them and not have them.
A good mechanic has more than one kind of wrench in their toolbox.
5. re: General Maintenance: See my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
Finally, since you are new to Mac OS X, you may benefit from some of the educational resources I recommend in my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ.
Good luck!

Lost System Utilities Folder/Files and Preview on Restore

I recently restored my Mac partition from Time Machine due to a disk error. As of now, looks like all my data is present.....EXCEPT the system utilities (system monitor, etc.) and preview. I downloaded Mavericks from the App Store. Is there a way to restore these files....easily?
Thanks.

You don't need to wipe it, you can simply redownload and reinstall the OS on top of your current OS. That is assuming that your problem is the OS install; if that is the case, you should be fine after that. However, if there is a problem with your TM restore, that would be another matter. In that case, you'd most likely need to wipe it first.
For now, I'd try the OS download/install.

I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

I have a 2010 mac mini referbished and i dont see the Disk Utilitiy in the Utilities on the install disk. Is that because it is refurbished?

The software that comes with your refurbished Mini should be identical to that which comes with a new Mini. Disk Utility should be in Applications > Utilities. Alternatively, choosing Utilities from the Go menu at the top of the finder windownwill take you directly to the Utilities folder.

System Update 3.14 install fails on action: SetVendorValue

Hi, folks:
I'm attempting to install System Update 3.14 for the first time on a 2004-vintage ThinkPad T42 type 2379-DXU. The immediate failure appears to be that the action "SetVendorValue" fails. I'm not sure what the underlying cause is. The installation terminates with an alert that installation failed and the system is unchanged; but in fact the System Update application is installed and there's an icon in my Start menu. When I try to run System Update, it displays an error message in front of the splash screen and quits.
Details and log excerpts below. Can anyone figure out why the install is failing? How can I get the install to succeed and the System Update app to run successfully? Thanks in advance for any ideas.
In the meantime, I'm going to try downloading individual drivers manually, to solve my underlying problem. But I'd sure like to have System Update on my side in the future.
--Jim DeLaHunt, Vancouver, Canada
Details* run the installer "systemupdate314-2008-5-15.exe".
* installation proceeds through several steps. Shortly after the "Writing vendor value" status message appears, the installation fails with an error alert saying that that installer cannot complete and the system is unchanged.
* in fact, there is now a c:\Program Files\Lenovo\System Update\ folder, and a System Update icon under Start menu -> All Programs -> ThinkVantage -> System Update.
* clicking the System Update icon in the start menu causes the program to launch and fail. The splash screen appears, then an alert "System Update could not start properly [OK]". Clicking [OK] causes the program to exit.

Well, the problem is solved, and System Update is installed and working.
The root cause of the problem appeared to be that the registry directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE no longer extended "full control" permission to the Administrators user group on my machine. We fixed this by using regedit:
Start... Run... regedit....
select directory HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE, right-click, Permissions...,
press Add... button
enter SYSNAME\Administrators in the text area (SYSNAME is a placeholder for my actual machine name)
OK... OK...
Quit regedit
We diagnosed the problem with the help of IT support from our employer. The problem was blocking installation of new anti-virus software. We had just removed old anti-virus and "internet security" software. Hmm, I wonder if the old security software removed this permission setting as a parting gift.
Hope this is helpful for others who encounter the same symptoms.

You need to partion the hard drive using Disk Utility. On one partition install 10.4. On the other 10.6. As a note I trust you are doing this on a MBP and not a PPC Mac because 10.6 won't install.

After migration from sccm 2007, there are many systems with no client installed

Hi Everyone,
We have migrated our environment from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 , And Manual client push installation has been done by HeadQuarter SCCM admins on site code of our region.
But as i see , in all systems collection based on OU, there are approx 50% systems with no client installed.
There may be some stale systems in AD.
Is there any way so that i can list out all Stale or old computers which are not in use anymore records of systems from Active directory and so that i move them to OU for which system discovery is not enabled.
Also, it will very useful if i get more information on lastLogonTimeStamp and such more properties which specifies system as stale or OFF the network for some period..

You could also remove the objects without a client and adjust the settings in the
Options tab of the Active Directory System Discovery Properties. By tweaking those options you can make sure that you're not discovering those old objects in the first place.
