My raid drive is not showing up as a import destination anymor

Hi Guys,
I recently put two 4tb drives into mirror mode to raid my library for protection. My problem is on import. When I go to import the photos from my source, usually directly from my camera, I do not show my now B: drive as a destination. Just my C drive. When I plug in an external drive, that one shows up as a destination, but not my internal raid. What gives?

Try renaming that drive with a letter further down the alphabet and see what happens.

  • I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program.

    I have just installed a new hard drive in my imac intel 20" (2006) and upgraded the memory and now the hard drive does not show up in the 'select destinations' folder of the install program. I can see the hard drive in the disk utilities window however it wont let me do anything.
    It is a seagate 1TB SATA II drive however it is displaying it as a 7.3 TB.
    If anyone has any suggestions I would be happy to hear them.
    I have tried to erase and partition and get the same error message each time, 'Input/Output error'.
    I have tried starting the thing with the install disk which is Mac OS X (Tiger?) which came with the computer. No good.
    Anyone?

    Thats correct. I can see it in the list however when I attempt to erase it or partition it it's like it's not being found or recognised and it throws up the input/output error message. I am pretty sure that the sensor it attached correctly and it is a SATA drive. I can see all the infor regarding the drive when disk utility is open and it all looks good but I cant access it or do anything with it. It's taunting me!
    The install disk is in the drive and the install program runs right up to the point where you have to select the location for the install and there is just nothing in the box where you have to select the hard drive icon.
    I have my suspiscions about the drive but any help would be appreciated.

  • My internal drive is NOT showing up in the event library in Final Cut X.  I am also getting a "The operation couldn't be completed. Cannot allocate memory" Any ideas? I am using an IMAC Core i7 with 8GB memory, OS version 10.6.8

    My internal boot drive is NOT showing up in the Event Library in Final Cut X. My external raid drive is showing up.
    I am also getting error message "The operation couldn’t be completed. Cannot allocate memory"  when attempting to create a new "event".   Any ideas?
    If I had a application disk, I would unistall and reinstall FCPX.  I am assuming there is a way do do this without a disk - just have not been able to easliy find out how.
    I am using an IMAC Core i7 with 8GB memory, OS version 10.6.8
    Thanks

    Well it did NOT work.  Here is a screen capture as FCPX loads showing the drive while it loads. Then when it is loaded, NO drive showing up in the Event Library ( I have turned off the external drive).
    ANY ideas . . . .  Anybody . . . .  APPLE?

  • External hard drive and startup drive are not showing on desktop

    Hi, I just brought my macbook pro home from the apple store after having the hard drive replaced. It is not recognizing my Drobo in order to do a time machine backup. The Drobo was functioning perfectly well when I brought the computer in, so I can't imagine there's a problem with that. As well, my startup drive does not show on my desktop. Help please! I need my machine working for a presentation tomorrow. Many thanks.

    If the drobo is powered on,
    the cables are in completely (did you check it?)
    drobo has power and is running
    and you checked "show external drives on the desktop" in finder settings,
    and the drobo is not shown there:
    the status of the drobo is not choisen correct (it works as a raid x  instead of raid y)
    or one or more harddrive(s) inside is/are mad.

  • Mac Pro 4,1 w/RAID startup disk not showing

    Just purchased used a 2009 Mac Pro which came without installation disks. The startup (and only) HD does not show on the desktop. I discovered that an Apple RAID card was installed and had one disk (the startup disk) connected to it. Apparently the startup disk had been part of a RAID from which all other disks had been removed. Can I simply remove the startup disk from the RAID and install it as a regular drive? Since I don't have the installation disks I don't want to experiment with it until I make a clone. As of now there is only the single drive installed in the system. The system seems to be fine as reported by Tech Tool Pro test suite, which indicated no problems with any component.
    The battery on the RAID card needs charging but after several hours did not seem to be going anywhere. Can the battery be replaced?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Do either of you guys have an idea as to why the startup HD does not appear on the desktop? The battery no is indicating fully charged in RAID Utility but it's still conditioning, so I strongly suspect It needs replacement. Still, I'd like to solve this before pulling the card since I'm unfamiliar with the Mac Pro and if I can get things functioning nominally through menu operations so much the better.
    There seems to be an anomaly in the RAID Utility setup since no "RAID SETS" nor "VOLUMES" are listed, but there is an HD icon labeled "Bay1" listed under "DRIVES" with State=JBOD, SMART=verified, Status=Good, Interface=SATA. It's a Western Digital Caviar. The RAID Utility help says that only a single drive can be RAID mode JBOD, but if this drive's status is JBOD doesn't that imply that a JBOD RAID set had to have been created before adding the drive to the set and thereby giving it JBOD status? IF this is so then the RAID set must have been intentioally deleted, or perhaps was auto deleted when other drives were pulled. I'm thinking that the drive does not show on the desktop because it still has status JBOD but it's RAID set is gone. Possible? If so, can I create a new JBOD RAID set and assign the drive to it without loosing the OS on the drive? Can I install a new drive without assigning it to a RAID set and then reinstall after pulling the card or will things get messed up if a disk that was once on the RAID card is reinstalled after the card is pulled?
    Thanks for any insights.

  • Logical drive partition not showing in Mac OS.

    Hi all,
    I'm rather new to mac OS and am hoping someone could help me out with this problem.
    I've a windows partition (C:) running Vista Ultimate. In it, I had created 'logical drive' which contains a FAT32 (D:)and a NTFS (E:)partition. I'm thinking of using this 'D:' drive to share data between vista and Mac OS. However, when I boot up into Mac OS, both d: and e: drives are not showing (c: showing thought). I went into Terminal and use the 'diskutil list' command, it doesn't show me my D: and E: partition.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,
    Simon

    MacDrive7 allows 32-bit Windows to access r/w to HFS+.
    There is a Google kit for NTFS.
    I had terrible performance and luck with Paragon Software's NTFS for Mac OS X 6.0 ($30) and would not recommend it.
    If you are willing to start over, clone your Vista. Maybe WinClone or Norton Ghost.
    Reformat your internal drive with Disk Utility after backing up (Apple Disk Utility Restore).
    Don't use BootCamp and create Vista NTFS, FAT32 and Mac OS X. Don't install or restore OS X until AFTER you have Vista installed.
    BootCamp only allows for a 2nd partition and I'm not a fan of its methods and limitations.

  • Network drives do not show up on Desktop or in Sidebar

    I have a user who is experiencing a weird problem. When they connect to a Windows server over our LAN, the server does not show on their desktop, nor does it show in the sidebar.
    I have checked the boxes in Finder/Preferences to show network drives on the desktop and in the sidebar, but the network drives do not show up.
    I have reproduced this on another Mac, a G4 also running 10.5.8 .
    The windows servers do appear in Go/Network, and the user can connect to them, but they still don't show up on the desktop or the sidebar.
    Does anyone have any good ideas about this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Templeton, I'm sorry if my message wasn't clear, but I have already tried that.
    I'm beginning to wonder if there might be some issue with this in 10.5.8, since this works on the Macs here with Snow Leopard, and it used to work when we had Macs on earlier versions of OS X.
    Again, I'm open for any ideas on this.

    1. verify on another Mac first. and another port.
    2. very likely dead SATA card

  • My external drive is not showing on my desktop

    My external drive is not showing on my finder and it is turned on and connected by firewire.  Is there an alternate way to force my G5 to see the external drive?
    Laura

    Check the settings in the General and Sidebar tabs of the Finder's preferences. If those are set properly, open the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and try mounting and/or repairing the drive.

  • External Hard Drive does not show up in Finder

    My external hard drive is not showing up in Finder.
    It shows up in Disc Utility, but I do not have access to it. I have tried the following:
    command-shift c, nothing happens
    confirmed in Preferences/General that external hard drive was checked
    tried another cable
    tried another port on the back of the external drive
    tried to connect through the USB port
    re-started, etc.

    That means the directory is corrupt. If you have a heavy-duty 3rd-party disk repair app, such as +Disk Warrior,+ it may be able to fix it. Otherwise, your only option is to erase and reformat the disk. They're not cheap -- Disk Warrior is about $100. And for Leopard, you need version 4.1.1 or 4.2.
    I have not been able to figure out how to start a new topic here, but did find this discussion, which fits me fairly close.
    Just above the list of topics, on the left, is a +Post New Topic+ option.

  • External Hard Drive is Not Showing Up on Desk top?

    My external hard drive is not showing up on my desk top any more. When I tried to reconnect it I get the follow message.
    You have inserted a disk containing no volumes that Mac OS X can read. To use the unreadable volumes, click Initialize.
    Help what should I do? I have 50 GB of music on it and it's never had this problem before.
    Thanks

    Norton has a bad reputation because they have not kept up with changes in the Mac file structure. Norton version 8 is the one you should be using, if you choose to use it. Earlier versions will likely damage your directory, possibly beyond repair by other utilities.
    Any time you use any Disk Repair Utility, it is somewhat of a crap shoot. It may or may not be able to make the repair, and you may or may not lose a few to very many files in the process. The program best respected in this arena is Disk Warrior. If you choose to buy it, pay very close attention to which version you are buying, as the latest version CD (intended to boot 10.3 or 10.4) may not boot on your Mac.

    External hard drive does not show up in imovie.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    The drive's directory is damaged and as you found Disk Utility isn't equipped to repair it. You need Disk Warrior or Tech Tool Pro.

  • After security update my hard drive will not show

    G4 Tower - Mac OS X - 733mhz.. After a security update 2 days ago i can not get my computer to boot. It comes up to the gray apple screen and just sits there. I put the install dvd in and went to disk utilities, but the hard drive does not show up at all. I tried to boot the computer in target mode from my laptop. It goes into target mode, but the drive never shows up on the screen. I put disk warrior in the laptop and launched it, and it seen the drive as a firewire drive, but the only option was to rebuild. I have a lot of info on the drive, and am hoping that I do not have to go to that extreme. Please help...

    I think you are misunderstanding what disk Warrior will do, and how it does its magic. Disk Warrior is a wonderful, powerful, tool and works well for many people. When it suggests a ReBuild, it is saying your drive is recognized and intact enough to attempt to construct a new (proposed) Directory.
    It will scavenge all the information it can find from every possible source (including the existing Directory) and build a new (proposed) Directory of all your recoverable files. If the damage is not severe, nearly all your files will be included in the new (proposed) Directory.
    It then lists the differences between the new (proposed) Directory files compared to the old (existing) Directory files, and invites you to look at them side-by-side, if you like. ONLY if you approve, will it replace your old damaged Directory with the new (proposed) one. If you choose not to replace your old Directory, it just quits and nothing is changed on your Drive.
