Need a hard drive please

I lost my hard drive out of my HP model #2ua531obnk. I used my installation cd but it always ask for b57xp32.sys.
I can not connect to internet and it's driving me crazy.
it said files needed: the file b57xp32.sys on broadcom NetXtreme installation media is needed.
Then there's a box that said type the path where the file is located and it that box it all ready has c:\compaq\nic1 but i hit ok and it said that's not the right path?????????????????????????
PLEASE HELP

Hi,
Try to search your hard drive (or CD/DVD) for the "b57xp32.sys" file. 
If it's there, when it's looking for the file (in the wrong place apparently), browse to where you found the file (either the hard drive or CD/DVD).
If it's not anywhere on the drive or CD/DVD, you'll need to download the driver file for the network interface (apparently a Broadcom 57xx) somewhere onto your hard drive, then when it installs, browse to wherever you put the driver files.

  • How do I transfer photos from mac to external hard drive please

    How do I transfer photos to a external hard drive please?

    This answer may need to be expanded a bit. If your photos are in iPhoto and you are moving iPhoto's library to an external drive, once you've dragged the library to the external drive you'll need to let iPhoto know the library has moved. Hold the option key and double-click iPhoto (or click on the iPhoto icon on the Dock). You'll get a fileselector menu to select the library - point it to the external drive. Once you've established that the copied library has copied correctly you may drag the library on your computer to the trash and empty the trash.
    Warning: You do have a backup of your entire computer, right? Just in case something goes awry with the process having a backup is always a good idea.

  • Do I need external hard drive to back up my iMac before update to mountain lion? My is OS 10.6.8

    Do I need external hard drive to back up my iMac before update to mountain lion? My is OS 10.6.8.

    First, repair your hard drive and permissions:
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Second, make a bootable backup to an external drive using the Restore option of Disk Utility:
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    Third, purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Be sure you meet the requirements for Mountain Lion:
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.

  • When I plug in my ipad it automatically tries to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

    When I plug in my ipad it automatically tires to back up and download all the contents to the C drive - the PC is too full and I have iTunes on an external hard drive, how do I tell the system to do the backup to the hard drive please?

    You can open a command prompt by hitting the start button and typing CMD<Enter> in the search box that opens up.
    To move the current backup folder from C: to D: type in this command and press <Enter>
    Move "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    Where <User> is your Windows user name.
    To make iTunes look for the data in the new location type in this command and press <Enter>
    MkLink /J "C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\Backup"
    If your external drive has a different letter or you already have a folder called "Backup" then edit "D:\Backup" accordingly in both commands.

  • Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2 try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Hard Drive warning when upgrading to Mountain Lion. 2nd try and I was able to upgrade. Software update for IPhoto, had problems restarting. Do I need my hard drive checked

    Yes.
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.
    When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.
    If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done.
    Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.
    If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced

  • I just got my MacBook Pro a month ago. However I am realizing I need more hard drive space due to aps and programs.  I use am external but am concerned about the space. Is there a way to upgrade my hard drive from apple and keep my warranty valid?

    That would depend on whether your model actually has a hard drive. If you have the new 2013 Retina model, then you have a fixed storage device built-in that cannot be modified after purchase.

    To delete files from your external HDD, attach it to your MBP and drag the unwanted files to trash and then empty trash.
    Then you select the files that you want to transfer by 'drag and drop' to the external HDD and trash the files on your MBP.
    Ciao.

  • Help please! imac is completely full, FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! need external hard drive every 5 months??

    FPC wont let me render! I'm a video editor and have over 70 gb worth of videos on the imac which all need to be kept for various clients/backup/original versons but now beloved imac is full, only had it for 5 months! Will Ineed external hard drive every 5 months?? This can't be I've already resorted to getting rid of unsed applications such as garage band, iTunes,address book ect. I've trashed everything I could. what next ???
    My video files are massive, converting them to a different format doesn't reduce the size of them it just turns them into mp4 or apple pro res ect
    This iMac is for work only so there's no pictures, no music, no conacts, no messenger, no games, nonothing but videos!!

    Have a look at this: http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/
    It will show you exactly what is taking up all of your space.
    You also may want to consider some kind of external storage just for your video projects.

  • Need help with using new ipod as hard drive. please!

    Hi. Has anyone had any problems using the ipod as a hard drive between two systems? I have an old 4th generation ipod which I used on my PC. That ipod worked great between macs and pcs as a hard drive. But recently it is completely screwed up. Anyway, I got a new Mac book pro and a 5th generation 60gb ipod.
    Now, I'm trying to get some stuff off my pc and transfer it into my mac. In my pc it comes up in "my computer" but keeps asking me to format the hard drive whenever I do the drag and drop of files into it. I've already formatted it for my mac, but haven't put anything on it yet. So I guess I could just do that for the transfer and reformat it for the mac and then put my music on it.
    I just want to know, it worked so well between mac and pc as a hard drive when originally formatted for my pc. will it not work the other way around? Will I have to keep reformatting it for the pc every time and then lose any information and all my music if I want to use it in that way? Or is there something I'm doing wrong? I would really appreciate any help at all that anyone could give me. Who really needs a 60gb anyway, if not to be able to transfer files back and forth between home and work, right?
    Dell Dimension 4400/MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)   Windows XP on the PC

    Thank you for your reply. It cleared up a lot of confusion for me. But I have one more question.
    See, I looked both of those software applications up, and it seems those are to be installed on the windows operating system. My plan is to eventually stop using my PC and give it away to goodwill, however, for work purposes- which is freelance- I'd need to use the ipod as a nice small portable hard drive- I'm a photographer, and work with big files, so I need the larger space that a flash drive can't give me.
    So, is there any type of mac formatting on the ipod that can also be read by the pc? Or is there a 3rd party software that can be installed on the ipod that will enable it to be read on the pc and mac while retaining its mac formatting?
    If not I guess I'll just have to go back to the old and extremely inconvenient way of doing things. I really wish mac would have mentioned these things before in all their descriptions.

  • I need the unconfusing way to put a password on a external hard drive, please

    it seems the more i look the more confusing things got. basically i have a new hard drive ( g drive mobile usb ) i want to put a password on to it so that if you do not know the password you will not be able to access ANYTHING. it seems like there is either a tutorial on how to put a password on to a 'folder' & when it comes to a 'harddrive' the term 'password' is now 'encrypted' & it just seems like there is a difference in the explanation. also people seem to say "thumb drive" a lot & i know that i am not talking about a thumb drive, i am using a hard drive, maybe it is all the same but nobody is saying so & i don't want to find out that a password on a folder or a thumb drive is totally different when it comes to using a hard drive.
    so, how do i put a password onto a hard drive so that when i plug in the usb cable you will next have to type in the password to see anything on the hard drive??
    just updated to mavericks by the way

    If you want to protect everything on the drive, then you need to encrypt the drive.
    Don't store the password in your keychain as that will automatically decrypt the drive when it is connected.
    Here is an article written for mountain lion, but I think it is the same for mavericks.
    http://m.imore.com/how-easily-encrypt-external-drives-os-x-mountain-lion
    Another here: http://osxdaily.com/2012/09/17/how-to-encrypt-an-external-drive-quickly-in-mac-o s-x/
    I'm not sure if it is stated directly, but the drive must be partitioned as a GUID partition table.

  • My color classic needs a replacement hard drive, please help me find one

    The dead drive that was removed is a Conner CP30085E 85MB 3.5in SCSI 50 PIN. Also I have OS 7.1 is there a later system that would work. Note the tools floppy disk boots perfectly.
    Thanks for any info
    ron

    "...they had a Quantum apple drive 84 mb SCSI drive for $99. Talked to the owner and he said the older apple drives are really getting scarce."
    Scarcity doesn't justify egregious price gouging. An 84 MB SCSI hard drive should not cost that much. Did you try an eBay search for a "50-pin SCSI hard drive?" I just did and found some larger drives for far less than either of the prices you got from 4drives.com. It doesn't have to be an Apple-branded drive, although that helps when some third-party drives aren't supported by Apple's disk formatting utilities. You can also check eBay for an OS 7.6.1 retail version/universal installer disk or OS 7.6 and then download the OS 7.6.1 Update. I'd want at least 16 MBs of installed memory to run OS 7.6.1, but your Color Classic is maxed out with a pair of 4 MB SIMMs plus 2 MBs of the 4 MBs of onboard RAM, for a total of 12 MBs.

  • Need help with replacing hard drive please

    Can I upgrade to a hard drive that has SATA 3 interface with my Macbook Pro mid 2009 model?

    It may well work and be backward compatible as jk said, however your machine was spec'd for one type of drive. For me, even if the older technology for the same capacity was slightly more in cost, I'd want to put that in my machine rather than something that may not be fully compatible. Just my opinion.

  • I can't copy files to External Hard Drive : Please help..

    Evening,
    I've just bought a Macbook and am just getting to grips with it. This is my first question on this forum...the first of many no doubt.
    Problem I've got is that I can copy file's from an external hard drive on to the MAC but I can't go back the other way and copy file's from the MAC on to the external hard drive - it says 'New Folder cannot be modified'.
    When I go into 'Ownership and Permission' of the external hard drive it says I can read only.
    The Hard Drive is a Octigen USB 2.0 drive if that helps..
    Any ideas?
    Thanks for your help

    How confident are you that MacFuse/ntfs-3g is a reliable option for ordinary humans? It is at version 0.2.2, not long out of beta, the FAQ mentions slow write performance and other rough edges (possibly fixed in the current version), and this is a comment by the author as of 1/11/07:
    "Small disclaimer: Please note that MacFUSE is a complex piece of software, and it is a work in progress. We believe in releasing early and often, so we're releasing it now so that the community can help us to make it more robust."
    I have no need for it whatsoever, but if I did, I would have concerns about using it for a backup drive.
