Mounting a second IDE disk

My Solaris 8 x86 system has two disks. The second disk appears fine. when I fdisk it allows me to configure the second disk as a full unix type partition. However when I try to mount:
#mount -F ufs /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 /space
I get the message:
#mount: /dev/dsk/c1d0p0 is not this fstype.
I'm trying to use the second disk as extra space
If you can describe howto make my second disk usable
please help.

Did you newfs it?
i.e. # newfs -m 2 /dev/dsk/c1d0p0s6

Second IDE controller not seen, Blade 150

On our Blade 150, on the first IDE bus I have a hard drive and a DVD recorder. On the second IDE bus I have another hard drive. The second bus is not seen at all. If I do a stop-a, probe-scsi-all the drive on the second controller is not seen. If I swap the two hard drives I get the same results; drives on the first bus are seen, drives on the second bus are not seen. I have also tried a new cable. Do I need to enable the second IDE controller somehow? Am I overlooking something? My goal is to make this a multi-boot machine and use an alias to choose which drive to boot from.

Thank you for the tip, I gave this a shot. I took all the defaults up to the point where it asked if I wanted to rebuild the path_to_inst file, where I answered yes. Then it asked for the physical name of the root device, I took the default which looked correct. Then it gave me the same error as before, "/dev/dsk/c0t2d0s6 or /usr, no such file or directory" and the boot failed. I then rebooted again and it cannot find the path_to_inst file so aparently it did not get far enough to save the new file.
Just to clarify what I believe the problem is, here is my layout:
c0t0d0sX --> Solaris 9 install, boots and runs great, c0t2d0sX listed under both /dev/dsk and /dev/rdsk, c0t2d0sX will mount just fine when running Solaris 9 so the disk looks OK
c0t2d0sX --> Solaris 8 install, OS was installed when disk was in c0t0d0 location then the disk was moved to c0t2d0 (first disk, second IDE bus), now has problems booting, c0t2d0sX not listed under /dev/dsk or /dev/rdsk on this disk and I think this is the problem.

Difficulty detecting SATA disk, adding a second SATA disk, memory conflict, etc

I resolved the SATA problem in the middle of writing this post, but for others’ benefit in the future, I am still describing it here. But there are still some unresolved problems.
========================================================
I have an Intel P4 2.4 GHz CPU.
My MSI motherboard has the words 865PE Neon 2P on it.
BIOS is AmiBIOS 3.31a.
I cannot tell what display card I have. I do not see any brand printed on the card.
I have an (internal) 37 GB IDE hard disk (I cannot see the brand and I am too lazy to un-mount it) as the C drive.
About 3 years ago I added another internal disk, 150GB Western Digital WD 1600, SATA as the E drive.
I have a copy of Windows XP Pro SP2 on each of these two hard drives but I always boot on C.
I also have 2 DVD drives (Drives D and G) and 6 (2 at the side and 4 at the back) USB ports.
A shop installed everything for me and things have been well. I did not record the BIOS settings so I do not know how it was set up. My nightmare started about 2 weeks ago when my PC suddenly did not detect E, i.e. the SATA drive. I had not done anything to the BIOS setting or otherwise, so I have no idea why the E drive suddenly disappeared.
At that time, the Standard CMOS Features in the BIOS setting was:
Primary IDE Master - Not Installed
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - Pioneer DVD ROM
Secondary IDE Slave - Lite On DVD ROM
Third IDE Master - Not Installed
Third IDE Slave - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Master - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Slave - Not Installed
I tried many things and finally bought a hard disk enclosure and put that SATA in it and connect it to one of the USB ports. It works.
This morning I stumbled on this article "Motherboard can't detect SATA hard disk" at http://forum.msi.com.tw/index.php?topic=119738.0 and also “Q: How to enable both SATA and PATA? “ on “NEO Boards Unofficial FAQ rev 4/05/2004 - two lights on "P" series” at https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=21469.0 taking about the On-Chip IDE Configuration section of the BIOS menu and I decided to give it a try, so that I can get rid of that hard disk enclosure.
It works, kind of. I saw that it was set to Legacy Mode, P-ATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Channel Selection=Both, Combined Mode Option=PATA 1st Channel, SATA Ports Definition= P0-3rd/P1-4th. So following the advice on the article and the FAQ, I reset it to Legacy Mode, P-ATA + S-ATA, SATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Keep Enabled=No, PATA Channel Selection=Both, Combined Mode Option=PATA 1st Channel, SATA Ports Definition= P0-Master/P1-Slave. Now my PC could detect the SATA drive and set it as the D drive (and the IDE remained as Drive C) but my two DVD ROMs disappeared. The Standard CMOS Features in the BIOS setting was:
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - WDC WD1600JD-00HBB
The rest is Not Installed.
So, I (only) changed Combined Mode Option to SATA 1st Channel. So apparently my PC now booted using the WinXP copy on the SATA disk (recall that I have WinXP on both hard disks). And now the SATA disk is C, and both DVD ROMs are visible. My IDE disk disappeared.
Now I went back to the BIOS menu and switched back to PATA 1st Channel, reset it back to P-ATA Only, and changed SATA Keep Enabled=Yes. Voila. Now I can see my IDE disk as Drive C, SATA disk as Drive D, the two DVD ROMs as Drives E and G. Everything looks fine except that some of the start-up programs no longer start up apparently because their paths used to be E:\.... but now the disk they are on was renamed from E to D so the operating system cannot locate them. And the Standard CMOS Features menu reads:
Primary IDE Master - Not Installed
Primary IDE Slave - IC35L060AVV207-0
Secondary IDE Master - Pioneer DVD ROM
Secondary IDE Slave - Lite On DVD ROM
Third IDE Master - Not Installed
Third IDE Slave - Not Installed
Fourth IDE Master - WDC WD1600JD-00HBB
Fourth IDE Slave - Not Installed
Problem 1 (the main problem): Difficulty detecting SATA disk – Resolved. If anyone is kind enough, maybe you can tell me and others why suddenly the BIOS setting was changed by itself causing all these problems, and why “P-ATA Only, SATA Keep Enabled=Yes” works but “P-ATA + S-ATA, SATA Keep Enabled=No” does not. Should I now tweak the Windows registry to change the drive letter of the SATA disk from D to E?
Problem 2: I just bought an internal Hitachi Deskstar 640GB SATA disk. And I have a vacant orange SATA connector on my mobo. Can I add it together with the existing 2? Would it be set up as Third IDE Master, Fourth IDE Slave, or something else?
Problem 3: I used to have a Samsung DDR PC2700 512MB memory module and during the last week I added a Corsair DDR PC3200 1GB memory module, both on the green slots (not the purple slots). It caused my PC to freeze (keyboard and mouse not responsive) every now and then. So I pulled out the Samsung one and it has been working fine. Some said one has to use memory from the same manufacturer with the same size and same everything. The sticky thread titled “NEO Boards Unofficial FAQ rev 4/05/2004 - two lights on "P" series” in this forum has a question “I have this RAM xxxx but it does not work with my board. Can MSI update the BIOS to fix this?” and the answer points to a Product Info page and I don’t know where that is. Any advice on how to make both work together? Can I use the purple slots?
Problem 4: The “usable” space on my Dell M991 CRT monitor has shrunk. That is, the black areas on both sides, mostly RHS, have intermittently enlarged. It only happened in these 2 weeks. I tried Control Panel – Display – Settings – Advanced – Displays – Adjustments to no avail. I don’t have another monitor to try in order to test whether it has to do with the CRT. Just in case you happen to know anything, please jot a line.
Problem 5: Some of my USB ports do not work or only work intermittently. For example I plugged in my wireless adaptor into one of them and it sometimes would say “USB Device Not Recognized”.

If it is a SATA-II Drive, you will probably have to force it into SATA-I Compatibility mode first (check the hard drive user manual for jumper settings or firmware switches).

Exactly. Mixing different memory modules causes problems in many cases because the exact same settings will apply to both modules at the same time. What works for the one module may not work so well for the other one.

That is either related to the monitor itself or to the video card. It may also be related to a problem with the driver or improper screen resolution settings.

Is there a way to prevent MacOS from initializing second hard disk

My second hard disk (using optibay slot) is a TrueCrypt encrypted backup disk of critical information (this is company policy).
Because of this encryption, the second hard disk is not recognized and mounted "properly", and on starting up the dialog box always pops up giving the user the option to INITIALIZE the disk (which would destroy the data).
I know that there are probably other ways to back up the data some other way, but please, assuming that this setup is preserved (i.e. I do not confront the company powers-that-be), how can I suppress the dialog box vis-a-vis the second hard disk, or prevent the initialization of the second hard disk? I don't want either myself or my kids to accidentally press "initialize" and POOF there goes the data!
I cannot get methods with /etc/fstab to work (along the lines of noauto) because the unrecognised partition/disk is not successfully mounted in the first place, therefore I have been unable to derive the UUID or LABEL.

This question was also posed in http://superuser.com/questions/117444/prevent-mac-os-x-from-prompting-disk-initi alization-formatting
Seriously, is there no script or method to achieve this? It should be out there...

Shared IDE disk for 2-node Oracle RAC

Hi,
I'd like to create a RAC installation of Oracle 10g with 2-nodes (2 virtual machines). I have VMware Workstation ver 5.0 installed on my PC with one IDE HDD.
My question is how to configure VMware shared disk to be able to create database files on OCFS disk ?
I tried to use VMware Cookbook for creating this environment but there is installation of only of one node and one disk - /dev/hdd - what about the second node ? There is no mention of raclocal2...
Thanks for any advice
Standa

Hi Standa!
If you want to use OCFS for this you need the latest and greatest OCFS and this only works on RHEL4.
With an IDE disk this will probably not work. I have a RAC on my VMWare (4.5.2) with two nodes for the RAC and one node that offers a NFS drive. When I have some time I will try this with the OCFS rel 2.

On sata drives there is no problem.
Is someone having the same behavior?
thanks

Pierre
We have managed to track down the issue. Basically, any partitioning
operation (img p...) resets the 'using_dma' flag
Using_dma is only relevant for ide drives and by default is set to 1 - this
increases img performance many times. As soon as we issue any partitioning
command it resets the value to 0, hence the poor performance.
We use ENGL ZIM in our environment and have modified our scripts to check
if using ide (i.e. /dev/hda as opposed to /dev/sda (sata/scsi), then reset
using_dma to 1 following the partitioning commands.
The command to check hdparm (assuming single ide drive - /dev/hda) is:
hdparm -d /dev/hda
To reset to 1:
hdparm -d1 /dev/hda
I shall report this to Novell and see what comes from it - I'm not sure why
it should be reset.
Hope this helps

David

How can i install windows 7 on my second hard disk while the first hard disk running with windows 8.1

I have Toshiba laptop P-75 model :
this model have two slots for the hard disks , on my first hard disk i am running the default windows 8.1 which came with the original condition (when i bought my laptop) , since i am a civil engineer many of my field programs is not working on the
windows 8.1 version and the rest programs barely works appropriate!
I want to download windows 7 on the second hard disk, thus having dual boot in order to chose which windows i want to use.
thanks in advance
ENGR. Saeed Al-Khaled

You need to consult with Toshiba as this is a hardware specific problem and you may not be able to install Windows 7 dues to lack of hardware drivers and/or the laptop being configure for Secure Boot which Windows 7 does not cope with either.
It is your responsibility to do the research for this project to ensure compatibility and needed hardware drivers.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

Is it possible to install Lion on the second hard disk on my Mini (2010) Snow Leopard Server, and switch between Lion and Snow Leopard? I like those voices Lion has in speech.

When baltwosaid NO emphatically, that was described as CORRECT ANSWER. Ditto in the caeses of the radically different answers from Camelotand Matt Clifton
Could it be that CORRECT ANSWER needs better defining by Apple?
That apart, yes, switching might involve rebooting. About the voices, well, I was the other day adding voice to a commentary in a video I was working on. There's only American English accent in SL — Lion I believe has British ones as well.
Why not, I wondered, try to install Lion purely for academic interest, maybe with an SD card (Sandisk Ultra II, 16GB) as Tom Nelson says is possible at http://macs.about.com/od/macoperatingsystems/ss/Perform-A-Clean-Install-Of-Os-X- Lion-On-Your-Mac.htm

Installing Boot Camp on a second internal disk

Ok, so I searched the forums for quite some time on this, but couldn't really find the information I was looking for. Really, I just want to share my experience of installing Windows XP 64bit on a second internal disk, operating with leopard 10.5.2 on an dual quad core Intel box:
The directions for boot camp are specific to installing windows on a partition from your OS X drive and can be a bit confusing for people wanting to install on a secondary internal disk. When you first run boot camp, you are presented with 2 options, create or remove a windows partition or start the windows installer. If you have a partition already formatted for windows, use the second option. In my case, I wanted to create an entirely new windows partition.
You are then presented with the option to choose which drive you want to partition. I selected my second internal disk in bay 2, enabling the "erase disk and create a single partition for windows" option. Do not be fooled. This does not format the disk, it only makes a partition on the disk which you will then later format in the windows set-up. Clicked continue with the windows XP disk in the dvd drive, and the system will then make the partition and restart the computer into the ugly windows setup blue dialog screen.
Here's where I was confused. After loading some drivers, you are then presented with the option to format disks... If you were making a second partition on a pre-installed OS X disk, Boot Camp cleverly makes a title on that partition, telling you which is the correct disk to format <BOOTCAMP>. In my case, I was presented with three options. Disk 1 (J:), which had 300 gb, and disk two, which had two partitions in it already, one at 200mb (D:) and one at 280gb (C:).
DO NOT PICK YOUR OS X DRIVE!!! It will erase your entire mac system. The problem is, if your drives are exactly the same size, there is really NO WAY to tell the difference between the two in the windows setup except for some subtle hints. I unfortunately picked the wrong disk, and erased my machine into the ether.
However, after I reinstalled my OS X drive and tried the XP install again, I found there were clues as to which drive to format. Apparently, windows likes to be installed on drive C:. My background is with Mac, so I didn't catch that hint the first time around. Also, if I paid careful attention to the sizes of my drives, instead of guestimating they were both the same (the mac is just a bit larger than the second internal), I could have solved the puzzle long before I began banging my head on the desk.
Formating the drive is straight forward, but takes about 2 hours to do. Windows goes through it's setup, and before you know it, you have a quasi-functioning windows system on your mac. The final step is to reboot, hold down option, click the windows HD, have your OS X install disc 1 in the drive, then install the rest of the mac-windows driver (automatically does this for you).
Boom. You're done.
P.S. I was told by a apple rep that boot camp does not work with a 64 bit install of XP. It worked for me... eventually!
Hope this helped

I understand that you were able to load windows on another internal disk beside the one where OSX resides. In my case I have two drives that are stripped (software raid). Will I be able use bootcamp with windows installed on a third internal disk dedicated to windows?
Thanks...Chris

Windows server 2008 R2 is not showing the second hard disk.

Hi,
We are having two windows server 2008 R2. In that we have, two hard disk and each with 146GB storage capacity. But it is displaying only the storage capacity of a single hard disk. Seems like the second hard disk in not recognized.
What can be done to clear this?
Regards
Manoj S

Hi,
As Burak mentioned, first you need to check if it displayed in Disk Management.
If so, see if you can initial it, create a volume and assign a drive letter.
If not, check if it is recognized in BIOS. Also test if it could be recognized in another computer.

SATA Disk won't work without a IDE disk connected.

Hi, my specs :
k8n neo2 platinum
amd xp3000+
crucial 3200 ddr memory
Samsung Spinpoint S-ATA 160GB
(IBM 70GXP IDE 40GB) Just in the box to make the S-ata drive work
NEC DVD-RW
I've been running this machine now for 3-4 months, with both HDD's. Today I decided to remove the noisy IBM disk from the system. I removed it from the Primary IDE Slave and made the DVD-RW stay alone on the Primary IDE.
So, now the only thing I got installed is the S-ATA disk on SATA3 or SATA4 slots.
and the NEC DVD-RW on Primary Master.
The problems starts here
Now my machine only goes to bios and stops because : INSERT SYSTEM DISK blablabla...
My SATA disk is properly displayed in BIOS as a working HDD. No problem there... I have tried everything, believe me... Everything that can be done... I have changed the Sata disk to all diffrent SATA slots, 1/2/3/4 and Cleared the BIOS, resetted the bios you name it.
But, when i install the IDE disk (ibm disk) on the Primary Slave IDE, everything works well!
PS: The IBM disk is just a MP3 disk that doesn't store anything else than that.
But!, in Windows, the IBM disk is named C:\ and the System disk (on the S-ATA drive) is named D:\ (no problems running WinXP at all with that issue)
This is really annoing, like i'm going to have that noise IBM disk in my chassis forever!

Your problem is that you had the ide disk connected when installing xp on the sata (3'rd master).
Windows_inst always use a disk on 1'st or 2'nd ide channel as system drive if it finds one (the first it sees) . So the ntldr,boot.ini,ntdetect.com is placed there .
When you remove the IBM drive there is no boot drive anymore .
What you should have done when installing windows to the sata drive
is to temporary disconnect all drives in front of it , so that the sata 3'rd master
is the first disk win_install sees .
Now you have registry of all programs and such pointing to D: in that win installation.
You should take the time to do a fresh new install with only the sata drive connected . This makes it system drive and it's partition C: .

Powershell- Associate Mount Point to Physical Disk

I need to be able to associate mount points (Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_MountPoint) with the physical drive on which it resides.
Scenario: I have physical disks (SAN LUNs) mounted as folders on an E: drive (also a SAN LUN) of a server. I need to be able to, via a PowerShell script, associate the "folder" name to the physical disk (i.e., Harddisk4 or PhysicalDrive4).
I can get Mount Point associated with the Volume, etc., but can't make the link to the physical disk.
Any help is appreciated.

Unfortunately there isn't an association class between mount points and physical disks like there is between logical and physical disks. I did a blog about finding partition alignment which required using Win32_LogicalDiskToPartition class. One of the comments
suggested using Sysinternals diskext as workaround. See comments:

Terminal Command to Re-Mount an Unmounted Local Disk Partition?

Hello,
Does anyone know a terminal command (or applescript command) to re-mount an unmounted local disk partition? I know it can be done using the DiskUtility, but I would like to do it from the Terminal without launching another program.

Hi Tom,
   AppleScript will execute anything that you can exectute from the command line that isn't interactive but it won't execute it in the same way. By that I mean that the environment will be more vanilla. In this case the problem is that the path is rather basic. All you have to do is to use an absolute path to the script and it should work. Apple has a pretty good reference for the mechanism, Technical Note TN2065: do shell script in AppleScript.
   Is wakeonlan basically the same thing as waking upon receipt of a "magic packet"? I think you can easily make Mac OS X do that by itself. Just open System Preferences and the "Options" tab of the "Energy Saver" pane. Check the checkbox beside "Wake for Ethernet network administrator access".

   I gave my love an Apple, that had no core;
   I gave my love a building, that had no floor;
   I wrote my love a program, that had no end;
   I gave my love an upgrade, with no cryin'.
   How can there be an Apple, that has no core?
   How can there be a building, that has no floor?
   How can there be a program, that has no end?
   How can there be an upgrade, with no cryin'?
   An Apple's MOS memory don't use no core!
   A building that's perfect, it has no flaw!
   A program with GOTOs, it has no end!
   I lied about the upgrade, with no cryin'!
