MS-6195 (K7 Pro with 80GB Hard Disk?
I have an MSI 6195 motherboard which has been flashed to the most recent BIOS (V1.8) and am wondering if the board will work with an 80GB hard disk as the Primary Master Boot drive using the built in IDE controller.
I've searched the forum but can't find a conclusive answer.
Does anybody know whether this will work?
Thanks
As a follow up to my own question, here is a link to a webpage someone told me about, which explains some of the issues and might help others in the same predicament:

Which is the most recent MacBook Pro with a hard disk?
I am looking to upgrade from my present MacBook Pro (early 2011). However, I found out that all new MacBook Pro's come with solid state memory instead of hard disks (which would be nice if it werent for the exorbitant price tag to get anywhere close to the 1 TB I require). In addition, they don't have optical drives anymore nor ethernet connectors. In other words, there really seems to be no "all-in-one, portable workhorse" solution left in Apple's line-up. Therefore I would be very grateful for any information on which was the latest model year for MBPs that had all of these features, or at least the hard disk?
(I realize there are workarounds to all of the shortcomings of present generation MBPs, but they require schlepping around additional hardware, dongles, connectors etc., thereby defying the purpose of a truly portable computer. I also understand that MacBook Pros have become lighter and sleeker - but for people who put a premium on light weight, there are already MacBook Airs.).This model was released in June 2012 and is still available:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/FD103LL/A/refurbished-154-inch-macBook-Pro-23g hz-Quad-core-Intel-i7
Monitor the refurbished section daily. Changes can and do occur frequently. My prediction is that the non retina MBP's will not be around very long, so if one comes close to your 'ideal', grab it while you can.

I had a problem with the hard disk on a 13" 2010 macbook pro. Replaced the hard disk with an Hitachi 1TB disk but when I tried to erase and format, it fails with input/output error and at other times saying unable to allocate memory. Any help much appreciated!
Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk.
My mackbook pro 13' A1278, has had multiple errors with the hard disk. Now does not recognize the internal hard disk, but connect this HD using usb conector works fine.
So it's a hardware problem.
I'm really disappointePipfromvic,
have you tried installing Mavericks onto an external disk, and booting from the external disk using Startup Manager? If it runs well from an external disk, but continually crashes when running from the internal disk even after clean reïnstallations, then that could point to a faulty internal SATA cable as the culprit. -
Ultra Sparc 10, WD 80GB Hard Disk format problem
How does one get over the - Contact manufacturer for formating error ?
I have an US10, and am trying to install a 2nd Western Digital 80GB hard disk.
The format command sees this disk as a 2nd disk but only of 11GB capacity.
It does not let me format this disk further.
Any help appreciated.
Arvind.HI ARAVIND,
First of all I have not so far seen any limitation to disk size on ultra 10. Recently, i.e., 3 days back, I
installed an 80GB Seagate Baracuda HDD on Ultra 10, of course with some teeting problems. At first
I could get only 11.3 GB by default, or 64.5 GB by forcing the disk geometry. I really tried hard to make
this work beyond 64.5GB. As this was for a customer of ours, we had to make it work. I was frantically
searching the internet, and landed in some forum, where somebody replied to exactly similar query to
install Solaris 8 for HDD of capacitiies higher than 20GB. So Bang, I changed the OS to Solaris 8. But
Alas! I got only 74.5 GB capacity. Again went back to Seagate site and found that the figure of 156,301,488
MAX SECTORSwhen multiplied with 1024*1024*1024 you arrive at 74.5 GB, whereas if multiply this
number by 1000*1000*1000 you arrive at 80 Billion Bytes. However I am able to use this disk without any
problem now. So first install Solaris 8 and continue your R&&D. I wasted 4 days in getting this info. -
I have a Mac Pro with four hard drives. I currently have Lion installed on one hard drive. I want to have the option to boot from either Lion or Snow Leopard. How can I do this?
It's best to install Snow Leopard on one of the three remain drives without an Operating System.
You can then install the applications you need from the original media. Create a User Account using Setup Assistant.
Do you want to migrate User Accounts from the OSX LIon boot drive, or are you keeping the User Accounts separate?
Dual-booting just requires holding the option key during startup and selecting either Lion or Snow Leopard. -
I currently run Mac Pro with three hard drives. Can I dual boot or even triple boot with Snow Leopard on one drive and Mountain Lion or Lion on others?
I need to keep Snow Leopard so that I can run some old softward.If you are careful you can put at least two on one drive, having Recovery from Lion and Mountain Lion on their own drives though.
CCC can clone Lion Recovery - great for moving or backup. -

Set up a RAID 1 with four Hard disks with DiskUtility
I have a Sonnet Fusion-500 RAID enclosure with four hard disks of 500 GB (2TB total) connected to a Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz, 2GB RAM, MacOSX 10.4.8) through a Sonnet Serial ATA PCI express card (Tempo E4P model). Since I have a total capacity of 2 TB, I would like to set up a RAID 1 (mirrored) and combine the four drives in a final working volume of 1GB, (and the remaining 1GB in the mirror volume). I've been trying to setup the RAID with DiskUtility, but I cannot get a working volume of 1 GB (only 500 GB -the size of a single disc-). Can anybody please give me some help in setting up this type of RAID?
The four 500 GB discs are OK, since I can create a RAID 0 (~ 2 TB) or initialize them al individual drives without problems.
Power Mac G5 (2x2.3 GHz & 2GB RAM) Mac OS X (10.4.8)Glad I could help.

Oracle recommend configuring a Sun StorageTek 6140 with 15 hard disks
Hi,
How would Oracle recommend configuring a Sun StorageTek 6140 with 15 hard disks for optimal use with multiple Solaris servers running Oracle instances connected via a SAN? Should the storage array be configured as a single RAID 5 device and then LUNs created for the different servers? Or should each Oracle instance have its own dedicated hard disks?
Also might we see better performance if we used Solid State Devices for the ZFS Intent Log (ZIL) and/or L2ARC on ZFS, instead of using the UFS file system straight to the SAN?
Regards
NMI don't think Oracle would recommended any particular way. I would consider the following, but your mileage may vary, so testing is very important.
Raid 1 (10) for logs
RAID5 for Tables
But if you have many servers access the same LUN's/VDISKS then contention may be a problem. Maybe consider consolidating all you servers to a single Oracle Server.( For protection a second server with Oracle Solaris Cluster)
ASM is the best method for managing disks and data placement. But if like to see files/directories then go for UFS with direct I/O enabled. ZFS is fantastic if you want to use Snapshot/clones/Compression, etc.. but I think UFS is faster.
As for cache, Oracle 11gR2 has support for storing objects specifically in FLASH, so look to use the Sun F20 card with 96Gb of flash.

Replacing tunes in iTunes in computer with new hard disk
I recently had to replace my hard disk. I have authorized my computer (same as old one, but with new hard disk). Can't unauthorize the previous one. But want to transfer the music (from my CDs) currently on my iPod to iTunes on my computer. Having problems doing this. Any way to do so? Thanks.
Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows

Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

I think I have an issue with my hard disk.
Hey guys, I have a macbook pro 2011, 6GB RAM, 500GB HDD running 10.8.5. I seem to have a strange problem. Any song or video I play off my itunes or internal hard disk freezes and skips on both itunes and Quicktime player. However if I play the same song or video on say the VLC player it works just fine.
Now the stranger part is that any song or video played from an external hard drive plays just fine on itunes, Quicktime, VLC etc. So my best guess was that something is wrong with my internal HDD. But then why are songs and videos playing fine on VLC but not itunes or quicktime when played through the internal HDD?
Also since I have upgraded to 10.8.4 and up the spinning pin wheel has begun to appear very often. It even appears when I am surfing the web etc. Is this all got to do with a hardware issue or is it a software issue? Is there any point in me replacing my internall HDD with a SSD?
Please do let me know what you guys think. Any and all help will be much appreciated.

MacPro eSata Port/Card doesn't work with new Hard Disk
I just bought 4 x 3TB Hard Disc http://tinyurl.com/d2rglvn (specs of disc)
Which I put in Macally Enclosures to work on my Barracuda internal Hard Drive externally http://tinyurl.com/clg8yjo
I already have like 5 x 1,5 TB that works perfectly well with eSata connections (with exact same enclosures)
**My problem is that my 4 new Hard Discs works really fine with my Mac Pro but only with the USB connections but won't work with the eSata Connection. I tried it on a MacBook Pro with an ATA to eSata adaptor and it works perfectly fine (So my discs are not the problem) **
I am working on a Mac Pro (bought in 2007) - Mac OSX 10,6,8 and this is (I think) the card where I put the eSata :
PCI Card :
pci1095,3132:
Type: Other Mass Storage Controller
Driver Installed: Yes
MSI: No
Bus: PCI
Slot: Slot-2
Vendor ID: 0x1095
Device ID: 0x3132
Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1095
Subsystem ID: 0x3132
Revision ID: 0x0001
Link Width: x1
Link Speed: 2.5 GT/s
I am kind of new using Mac and its support so what want to know is :
Do I need to update my PCI Card ? If yes how can I do that ?
If not, what can I do to make my disc work ?
My disks are eSata III (6GB/s) is it compatible with my Mac Pro ?
Thank you Very Much for your timeDifference between the disk that works in eSata and those that doesnt is this....
Works : ** 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5"
Doesn't Work : **3TB, SATA III (6Gb/s), 3.5", 7200RPM, 64MB
it is probably the problem but i don't know what to do to fix it ! -
