MS 5129 and 40Gb Hard Disk help please!

Hi, first post on these forums!
I have a MS-5129 based system, and I need to upgrade my hard drive. I wasn't aware of the whole capacity limitation thing, so I went and bought a 40Gb drive - feeling pretty miffed now as I couldn't install the darn thing.
The drive is a Maxtor, and apparently I should use the Maxblast 3 software they provide to install the drive. However, I have been unable to do so... I have to set the Cylinder Limitation Jumper to get the drive to auto-detect, but then the Maxblast software crashes (something about "Command not recognized" and "Batch files nested too deeply").
I want to use the new drive as my boot drive. Maxtor says that if I use Maxblast to format the drive (assuming it ever works), I can use the full capacity of the drive. However I have read some posts on here that suggest that if I want to use it as my boot drive I will have to live with 32GB. Maxtor never mentioned this...
Can anyone offer any suggestions as to how I can get this drive working with my old MS board?

Thanks for the input, I have now got it working! Thought I'd update the post in case anyone else has similar problems.
First of all, I had to get the BIOS updated. I visited Wim's BIOS where they have a forum dedicated to just this problem. I requested and received a patched BIOS, and flashed it successfully. The BIOS now auto-detected the hard drive!
The second problem was that the Maxblast 3 software did not work. I don't know if this was due to the age of my board, or my system setup, but it crashed out when I tried to run it. I contacted Maxtor, and they sent me Maxblast 1.27s, which worked just fine!
Thanks for all your help, I really have found these forums to be invaluable!

Solaris 10, Format and Mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.

Hi,
I have some help to Install Solaris on x86, format and mount 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I tried to install Sun Solaris 10 and FAILED to format.
I have an Intel�� Xeon�� Processor and a 300GB and 36GB hard disk.
I appreciate all the help!!!!!

Hi Jon,
I saw something similar on SPARC when people used s2 (entire disk on non EFI disks) as ASM devices. The workaround we use is to create a new partition, and start it at cylinder 1. This protects the disk label from being overwritten by ASM.

My ipod touch is disabled for 22 million minutes and I want to fix it but I dont want to lose my pictures and everything else. Help please

my ipod touch is disabled for 22 million minutes and I want to fix it but I dont want to lose my pictures and everything else. Help please I dont remember the last time I updated it. Idk I think its been a year in an half since I known about it being disabled. What do I do? Im scared to restore it because I dont want to lose my stuff.

You have to restore and thus erase your iPod. that is how it works.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Photos
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

My home folder and my Hard disk icon have dissapeared from my mac. How do I get them back?

Try a restart. If the problem is the same, try deleting the com.apple.finder.plist.
Either hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command
and select your user Library in your home folder or use the Finder “Go To Folder” command and enter ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
Relaunch Finder (command - option - esc) and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
If the same, return the .plist to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
Show User Library
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Hypesuh I would recommend reviewing both Error downloading Creative Cloud applications - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/error-downloading-cc-apps.html and Creative Cloud app doesn't open and hangs on spinning progress wheel - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/creative-cloud-app-doesnt-open.html as it appears both documents are applicable towards the difficulties which you are currently facing.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
As you know how to open the iTunes Media folder, go to this folder and open iTunes. Then, go to Apps in iTunes and drag the IPA file of the app you want to show up to the iTunes window, so it should be added.
If it doesn't work, delete the IPA, empty the Trash and you will be able to download the application.

I am trying to download Firefox 3.6 to use on my Mac OS X version 10.3.9. Three attempts and I continue to get "mounting failed" and "corrupt image". Help please?

Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4, the last version of Firefox that worked on OS X 10.3.9 was Firefox 2.0.0.20 which is available from ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/2.0.0.20/mac/

After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please,

After Mac OS X 10.6.3 upgrade can't access Yahoo mail and repeatedly get message ""Sorry, we are over capacity. Please wait a moment and try again." Help, please.

Did you run all the software updates after the 10.6.3 update, especially this one which will bring you up to 10.6.8.
Mac OSX 10.6.8 V1.1 Combo update
Run software update, starting with the one above.
Then call your provider and ask them what is going on. They have probably changed POP to IMAP, 10.6.8 supports IMAP

Are you testing in the same room as the TC?
Power cycle the TC.. does it show up now?
Has it ever showed up .. ie is this a problem that just started from an existing setup, or has never worked?
Is the TC new? If old how old?
If you continue to have issues.. setup the TC from iMac and preferably using ethernet.
Change the wireless names to SMB compatible ones, short no spaces, pure alphanumeric.
Use WPA2 Personal security only.
Then set the wireless channels manually.. try 11, 6, 1 for 2.4ghz and try 36 or 40 at 5ghz.
Tell us how that goes.
