K8 Neo 2 and USB HDD

K8 Neo2 (7025), Bios 1.B
On reboot, external USB HDD(2.5''; powered from USB bus) is not detected. Only re-plugging will help.
At the same time, flash drives are reconnected properly.
Should not be a power problem, as drive is powered from 2 USB ports, and works perfectly with laptop.
Is there anythig that can be done to correct this?
Thanks.

Perhaps the selfpowered usb ports on nvidia boards just doesn't give enough amp to
your HD .
Never tried a USB powered device on the board myself , so it's hard to say .
You could try with a usb hub that is self powered if you have/can borrow one .

Lenovo C255 - USB Drive and USB HDD is not recognized

Hi
I am trying to attach SSD (Kingston SSDnow 300 - 60gb) drive to PC via bridge SATA-USB to USB 3 port, so i have "USB to ATA/ATAPI Bridge" stuff at installed devices and no HDD disks appeared at MyComputer . Still i have 2 disks at Device manager - my native HDD and this USB Drive.
The problem is that BIOS doesn't see any USB HDD. Excluded from the bootable device : USB HDD USB CDROM.
So how i can solve this issue ?

Hi
I will try to help you buddy.
> When it is started is says "Insert system disk in drive. Press any key when ready
This message appeared on my notebook after the HDD has died.
I had to replace the HDD and to install the OS again.
I assume its the same problem with your notebook. The HDD is not present or not recognized and you have to install a compatible HDD to get the OS running.
I have googled a little bit and found out that this notebook was delivered with the 10GB Toshiba MK1016GAP HDD. It supports the ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5 interface.
Please note that many BIOS have an HDD size limitation. This means that not all HDD sizes are supported! I presume a 20GB should be compatible but this is only my own opinion
> How can I change my BIOS so that the HDD is recognized?
The BIOS cannot be changed apart from the update (check Toshiba driver page -> Archive -> Satellite Archive).
But vary important is that you will use a compatible HDD.
> Can anybody help me with the recovery CD?
Dont know if you will be able to order this CD from the authorized service provider in your country because the notebook is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
What you could is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD and then could install some necessary drivers.
Greetings

K9N Neo-F and USB Mouse problem

Hello,
Some people including me have noticed problem with USB Mouse when using MSI K9N Neo-F BIOS above 1.3.
Results are simple - when loading Windows, the system initiates USB devices, but when it goes to Windows mouse doesn't work.
There is only one solution to fix the problem, reconnect USB cable from mouse.
It seems to be a BIOS problem, but there have been many BIOSes during 2-3 months and now currently the newest one is 1.63 Beta, which still didn't fix the problem at all.
I contacted MSI, but they can't do anything.
According to my tests, if I change in BIOS S1 to S3, it runs fine until I won't shutdown computer and turn it on again.
I wonder if there's any solution. I'm really mad about it and probably will RMA my mobo or change it to some else.

Recovery and USB HDD Question

I have a USB HDD for my laptop (About 1TB). If worse comes to worse, is it possible to restore from System Image that I create on that USB HDD, or does it have to be a USB flash drive?

I have a USB HDD for my laptop (About 1TB). If worse comes to worse, is it possible to restore from System Image that I create on that USB HDD, or does it have to be a USB flash drive?
Depends on what image you created.
Best to back up a current image periodically to that external drive this way. I'll assume you've upgraded to Windows 8.1.
Use System Image Backup
The image that enables you to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents needs to be on DVDs or a flash drive. See p. 54 of the User's Guide.

OSX NAS with MacMini and USB HDD's

I have been trying to figure out what would be the best solution for a making a few TB's of storage available to all users in my home network.
I tried AEBS, but the performance is just way too slow. If I were to setup a macMini with attached FW and USB drives, how would I make those drives available to my users on my home network?
Also, do I need to leave the system logged in as a user or can I just share out drives and partitions and leave them?
I'm new to OSX networking.
Thanks

I tried AEBS, but the performance is just way too slow.
any clients connecting via wifi will experience slower file access. Make sure the wireless clients are using 802.11n then you can achieve acceptable speeds.
If I were to setup a macMini with attached FW and USB drives, how would I make those drives available to my users on my home network?
Set Up File Sharing With Other Mac Users on Your Local Network
Also, do I need to leave the system logged in as a user or can I just share out drives and partitions and leave them?
When using a computer as a server it needs to on 24/7. It is best to have a user logged in even if no one uses that mac as a deskop as it make it easier to remotely administrate it over vnc for example

Neo Platinum and USB troubles

For some reason I cannot get my case's front USB ports to work. The ports start to initialize but then fail. I have unplugged the last brown wire as in a previous post and it still doesn't work. I suspect that maybe the windows USB drivers are not installed for that USB hub on the mobo. I have tried to install them but I still can't seem to get it to work. Can anyone help me with this? I have also tried with the brown wire plugged in and the USB ports won't even recognize.

As there is a lot of USB geeks (sorry) in here, I will try asking about my problem.
I have just upgraded to an K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 250gb and a XP3700+ Clawhammer (1mb L2 Cahce).
My problem is that after I turn of my pc, it still sends power to the USB ports?
This means that my H2O cooling pump and other stuff that I have connected to a USB/230V (Europe) relay, is runing continusly
I can't seem to find anywhere in the bios where I could configure this, what can I do?
My Sytem:
K8N Neo Platinum nForce3 250gb
XP3700+ Clawhammer (1mb L2 Cahce)
Mushkin DDR 3500 Level II Ram (1gb)
POW Geforce FX 5900 Ultra (256mb)
2 x WD Raptor 36gb HD
1 x WD 250gb HD
Innovatek H2O cooling of NB and CPU
Hope someone knows the answer to my problem
I have no idea.

Airport extreme and USB HDD

Running AEBS just fine with two PC's, a MacBook Pro, two iPhones, and an iPad. Attempted to connect a USB drive to AEBS. Does not show on any device connected to network. Tried three different drives. Any suggestions?

Iunieri, That did it, thanks! Seems like most of the information I found earlier said it would work with the FAT formatting. I reformatted the drive to OSX Extened (journaled) and I can now access it when connected to the AEBS.

K8N Neo PL and USB flash memory

This is a bit odd, not really sure what is happening. I have tried a couple of different flash memory readers, as well as flash memory sticks, and the USB does not recognize them. I can plug in scanners, mice, etc. and they all work perfectly. It is just when I use some type of memory device that is plugged in by the USB port do I have problems.
Is anyone else having this problem? I have enabled/disabled the USB using rev. 1.1 and 2.0, enabled and disabled the USB Keyboard/Storage setting, and I have re-installed the WinXP drivers that handle this (as well as try to update those very same drivers).
Here are my specs:
AMD A64 3400+
1 GB Mushkin PC3200 Level 2
120 GB SATA Seagate Drive
Toshiba DVD-ROM
Sapphire X800 Pro
CL Audigy 2 ZS
WinXP Pro SP1
NVIDIA 4.24 Unified
DX 9.0b

I fixed my own problem. On searching a few other forums I read that the problem actually comes from the front panel USB connectors. Most of these connectors have 2 ground wires coming off of USB 1, and to get everything to work properly only one of the grounds should be plugged in. The farthest ground (in my case the wire was brown) should be unplugged, so that only 4 wires are plugged into the USB pins.

I have a AE for sharing printer and usb hdd

Airport Express and an External USB HDD

Hello All,
If you can help that would be brilliant. I have just been given an Airport Express as a present. Not sure why. I am wondering if there is a way to allow the software / hardware to pick up a USB HDD instead of a USB Printer. I noticed that the Airport software does show you a disk option in settings but it greyed out so you can not select it. I have got the Airtunes working and that is brilliant!!! I just dont want to have to return it if I can get the USB HDD to work with it.
I hope you can help.
Terry

Are there any other pieces of hardware from Apple that do Airtunes and USB HDD that are available?
No. The only device compatible with Airtunes is the AX.

TC hibernates and wakes hdd's over and over again?

Anyone else has experienced same problem after latest TC update that causes TC hdd and usb hdd attached to TC sleep and wake continuously? It happens about once a day and only TC boot helps. TC puts hdd's to sleep and then wakes them up over and over...
Without a reset/boot it continues to do so as long as my nervous can last... Before latest firmware this never happened. Is there anything to be done to fix it? I have turned all other devices of so they dont check TC hdd's but it did not help.

Hello, i'm french and i have the same problem of you!
Since 7.6 firmware...
Is it possible to back on last firmare?
May be with hard reset...?
Please we need help before hdd crash!

New MBP and Self Powered USB HDD

Does the USB ports provide enough juice to power self-powered USB HDD?

I would not bet the farm without trying it out first. There is no guarantee it will power hub-powered USB drives, the track record on this is terrible and some people already report needing the special "connect to both USB ports" cable. Sounds like a bad start.
Since USB is mediocre for data transfer and since self-powered firewire drives are the gold standard, just buy the proper (FW 400 or 800) drive and worry not.

Question on Time Capsule and external USB HDD

Hello everyone,
I have a 500GB Time Capsule that is working wonderfully. I recently have been downloading a number of large .iso image files that are taking up a lot of space on my internal drive on my Macbook Pro. I do not back these files up on the Time Capsule as it is getting full and i want it to backup other more important things.
I do however wish to backup these files. My current desk is rather full and really will not allow me to purchase a large 3.5" HDD and plug it in USB.
Is it possible to plug an external drive into the back of the Time Capsule and have it be used as a wireless disk as well?
I would prefer to have that drive not be part of the Time Capsule disks, i just want to be able to access it wireless over my network.
I would be grateful if anyone can help me out. If this solution will not work, is there some sort of NAS disk solution i can get to work with my TC?
Thanks

All you need is an external USB HDD. It needs to be formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended - Journaled), if you plan on a future Time Machine Disk on this drive, or FAT/FAT32. You could get a NAS, but you don't need to if you already have TC. Can I assume the USB port is free or do you have a USB printer hooked up to it?

I am connecting an external USB HDD and I can see it on my Apple Macbook Air. BUT this drive is READ only. How can I write to it?

Drive Partition and Format
1.Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. 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.
