Looking for Answers: Bootcamp, WinXP, SATA drive speed

Hey - I'm wondering if someone can pass along some info. I've yet to upgrade to 10.5 I'm running a 2.66 4-core MacPro under 10.4.11.
I am still running the Bootcamp Beta and my original sp2 install of WinXpPro.
And my SATA drives are dog-dead-slow! I've been looking around the net and most of the SATA/Drive/Bootcamp talk comes from early 2006.
My thought was Bootcamp only installed Windows - and since I have already installed windows (for 2 pieces of graphics software), I wonder if I upgrade to 10.5 and the new Bootcamp, will my drives run at full speed?
Thanks -
Glen

Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers? I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive. All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro

Hi Everyone,
Can I force the bootcamp wizard to skip looking for the bootcamp drivers? I have already downloaded the latest drivers and loaded them on a FAT usb drive. All I want is for bootcamp to create the partition and allow me to install windows 8 pro.
The bootcamp drivers have been downloaded from apple's website. Filename: BootCamp5.0.5033
I have a iMac 27" late 2013 model.
NOTE: I have downloaded the drivers manually from apples support site as the bootcamp wizard fails third of the way through the download.
Appreciate any assistance.
Regards,
asdutoit

There is a missing point in this thread, and it is that the Boot Camp drivers for the Late 2013 iMac can only be downloaded from Boot Camp Assistant. The Boot Camp drivers available in the Apple site are not compatible with that iMac.
Delete the Boot Camp drivers from the USB drive, open Boot Camp Assistant and try to download the Boot Camp drivers again. If you get a message telling you that they could not be downloaded, I would try reinstalling OS X through OS X Recovery, by holding down Command and R keys while your Mac is starting up

I AM LOOKING FOR ADVANTEST R3271 LABVIEW6.1 DRIVER(GPIB),PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS.

Hi,
I am not sure what the R3271 is, but we have a driver for the R3272 (Spectrum Analyzer with GSM option). Normally API's do not change significantly and so it is very likely that you will be able to use this driver for your application. You can get it by going to www.ni.com/idnet. The easiest way to get the the page is just to seach by vendor.
Hope this helps out.

Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

Hi All,
I need a T-script for sql 2005 and 2008 which should give output as:
Looking for a script which gives Drive,Diskspacefree,Databasename,Filename,Filetype,Filesize,Spaceused,spacefree,free(%),MaxsizeMB,autogrowthsize,Filegroup

In the list below, everything that is in bold face is available in sys.master_files:
Drive
Diskspacefree,
Databasename
Filename
Filetype
Filesize
Spaceused,
spacefree,
free(%),
MaxsizeMB
autogrowthsize
Filegroup
Everything in bold face is in sys.master_files. Diskspacefree is also fairly simple; you can get it with xp_fixeddrives.
Filegroup requires you sys.filegroups in every database, although you can hardcode "PRIMARY" for the file_id = 1.
To get space used per file, it appears that you need to need to visit every database and run fileproperty(filename, 'SpaceUsed') to get the data.
You need to revisit the topics for the views and function I have listed here. xp_fixeddrives is undocumented, but the output is very simple to grasp.

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?

Looking for answers on XMP files - where should they be stored as sidecar files? With the original raw file or in a separate folder?
Relatively new user of Adobe LR5 and PS CC, about a year old.
If they should be stored somewhere beside the folder that contains the originals, where and how to change the settings?
If I choose to write metadata to the original files, is that sidecar files or does the XMP file show separately?
To be honest, I usually find a video and I cannot figure this out. I have never received an answer on any of my questions by the way.

Hi there,
You answered a prior question from me so I wanted to reach out to you about this. I just need a step by step on how, if possible, to View LRCC on my MacBookPro when the main interface is on my iMac

Where can I get WinXP SATA driver for Satellite L30?

I have a Satellite L30-10X with preinstalled Windows Vista and plan to downgrade OS to Windows XP Pro, but it needs special SATA driver at the early installation phase. Going to create an "unattended" Windows distributive using nLite, but cannot find such a driver at the download page.
So please help...

I think the sata driver you need is "Silicon Image Sil 3112". You can find it with Google, and then integrate into WinXP with nLite.

Looking for a replacement m2010us hard drive adapter

Hello all,
I have a mostly intact Compaq m2010us, sans HDD caddy/adapter. I searched a little online, and found a few different adapters being described as the proper one. Is there still a way to purchase one through HP or equivelent source? Just trying to fix and polish this up and donate it to a student in need.
Thank you,

Seagate is recommended due to the 5 year warranty, though other manufacturer's are good and work well and usually offers 3 year warranties. As was said above, any SATA drive will work, whether it's 150 or 300, though the laptop only will run at 150 speed.
I recommend getting a 7200rpm drive with as much cache as possible. A lot of newer drives are offering 16MB caches which show a strong lead in performance over other 7200rpm drives.
For instance:
* The Seagate ST9200420AS (200GB, 7200 rpm, 16MB, SATA 300, 5 yr warranty)
* The Hitachi Travelstar 7k200 (200GM, 7200 rpm, 16MB, SATA 150, 3 yr warranty)
The difference between these two is the SATA version, with the Seagate running a faster version of SATA which will not be taken advantage of by the MacBook, however future models or purchases by you may in fact use SATA 300 so it may be a good purchase if you plan to swap it during future upgrades. Further the 5 year warranty over 3 years is nice.
The recommendations above are if you're looking for a lot of storage with maximum performance. If you simply want a large drive with average or stock performance consider the HITACHI Travelstar 5K250 (250GB).

External sata drive speed ...

HI,
I have an iMac G5 1.6GHZ. Am I right to say that I cannot benefit of the speed of an external SATA drive until I have a computer that has a SATA connection in the back ???
Thanks in advance.
Robert Lespérance

Thank you ... That's speed !!!
By the way, I want to buy one of these 2.5" external hard drive for my backups and move it around with me on the road. Do you know if the outside temperature could be a concern for the drive if I leave it in the car for a long period of time ??
I understand though that I would have to let it warm up before using it once back !!

Can a T60 take advantage of 3GB/s SATA drive speed?

I want to put a larger SATA drive in my T60 and am wondering if the T60
can take advantage of the 3GB/s data transfer speeds of some of the newer drives.
Does anyone here know for sure?
Thanks.

only the new SSD can reach that speed, no platter based hdd in laptop can saturate the older SATA 1.5 bandwidth.

How to tell Front Row to look for movies on a USB drive?

I'm working on getting all my dvd's on two 500gb usb drives - using Handbrake to encode everything. This is much faster with a new 2.4ghz 24" iMac by the way (6-8hrs on my 1.8ghz athlon vs 1-2 with the iMac...woohoo).
What I'm trying to do is get the movies (on the usb drives) to show up in Front Row. One way I know of is by making an alias for each movie and moving the alias to my "Movies" folder on the main HD. This is a little tedious. When I simply drag and drop it in the "Movies" folder it just copies it and that is not what I want. Is there a way to just tell Front Row where to look for the movies? If I use iTunes the same thing happens, it just transfers all movies to the main HD...nevermind. I unchecked the box that said to copy everything.
The plan was on using iTunes for movies I encode specifically for iPods exclusively, searching through 600+ movies to get a few for the iPod doesn't seem user friendly.
So the question remains. Is there another way to get Front Row to just see the movies on another drive without iTunes or using an alias for each one or are those 2 my only choices?

I'm glad you got it figured out. Front Row actually looks for movie files in two places. First, as you've discovered, it looks inside your user's "Movies" folder. An alias there pointing to a different location will lead Front Row to the other location. Also, Front Row looks inside iTunes for movies. This way, it can find TV shows, music videos and movies purchased from the iTunes Music Store. Another option, besides making an alias in your "Movies" folder, would be to add the movies to iTunes.

Satellite A100: looking for software to control the fan speed

Hi,
I'm looking for software to control/read out the fan speed of my laptop, because Power Saver does not seem to do anything. It does not seem to matter if i set the 'Cooling Method' to 'Battery Optimized' or 'Maximum Performance', or even the fixed CPU processing speed. I've (de)installed the Common Module & Power Saver a couple of times to no avail.
Also SpeedFan & NHC do not work.

Hi
Sorry but I do not agree with your opinion about Power saver utility. Do you really believe that Toshiba create tool like this for nothing? Just for info: power saver utility is not available with Vista OS and on this forum you can find topics where people really missing this nice and useful utility.
Anyway it is well known that many tools you can find on the internet have no much influence on notebook cooling fan speed. To be honest, something like that can be very dangerous because most users want to have silent notebooks and overheating issues are totally underestimated.
Can you please be a little bit more specific about your problem? Is your notebook too loud for you or is battery running time to short? Why you are not satisfied with this tool?

Satellite U500 (PSU9ME) - I'm looking for the Windows 7 display driver

I'm looking for the video card driver U500 PSU9ME. My operating system Windows 7 32Bit
Please help me ..

OFC my INF won't work because it is for nVidia g210m. You need to add Hardware ID of your display adapter, that can be found in Device manager, to the INF and try again, replace my PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0A74&SUBSYS_FF401179 with yours, other modifications + new drivers for 310m could be required.
I still don't understand why you installed x86 version of windows when laptop came with x64 with all drivers on it, and all of them can be downloaded from toshiba site.
Install Windows 7 x64 and you won't have these problems. Other option is Windows XP x86 if you NEED 32 bit OS, and I can't see why...
