New drive not reporting correct geometry -- help?

I have a new Seagate drive and am trying to put it into an Xserve (g4). OSX Server reports 128G but the drive is a 750G.

At present, the new drive is in the second Xserve. The second Xserve has two of these drives working in a RAID configuration (I'll post the two outputs of diskutil below for comparison). I was trying to bring up the second Xserve when I ran into this geometry problem so I transferred the drive into a working machine thinking that I could somehow overwrite the geometry. I'll check out this limitation anyway, thanks.

  • Device Driver Not Installing Correctly - PLEASE HELP!

    *Hello. My name is Michael and I have major iPod Touch issues! I hope someone can help me.*
    *I hooked my iPod Touch up to my laptop (Windows 7) and the little bubble appears at the bottom that says "Installing New Device / CLICK HERE" so I click on the bubble to watch the progress and when it finishes, it says "FAILED" How can I download a new driver to my laptop so when I hook the iPod Touch to it, it will install correctly?*

    my itunes has gotten error 7 (windows error 14001) itunes wont even open it just says itunes was not installed correctly. someone help please

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
    The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) (not for XP) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

  • Captivate Quiz Not Reporting Correctly in LMS

    I am using Captivate 5.0 to publish a project to an EKP LMS. I am able to get the file to show complete in the LMS, but the quiz is not reporting correctly. Instead of a percentage it is reporting the number of points earned. Is there any way to have a percentage reported instead? I would appreciate any suggestions.  Grace

    Hi Grace,
    Can you check the Highlighted part and reset your Radio button to 'Percentage'--

  • Device detected driver not loading correctly per windows

    Device detected but driver not loading correctly. Windows says to reload driver. I have reloaded driver and the Nidaq software package (ver 6.9.3) repeatedly to no avail.
    Upgrading from old machine that had a 1997 version of driver that work fine under this OS (win98SE).
    What could be the problem?

    It's possible the copy of the NI-DAQ driver you have is corrupt, you may want to download it again.  It's available from the Drivers and Updates page.  Also, if you did not already do so, remove the DAQ card before uninstalling the driver and then reinstall it before reinserting the DAQ device. 
    What DAQ device are you using?  Depending on what DAQ device you have, you may want to upgrade the driver, the most recent version of the NI-DAQ driver for Windows 98 is 7.1.  You can see what driver is best for your device from the DAQ Acquisition Installer/Configuration Troubleshooter and then download the driver from the Drivers and Updates page. 
    Let me know if this doesn't solve your problem!

  • HELP! Capital One not reporting correctly

    Hello everyone,I filed my case BK 7 on 05/15/2015, had my 341 meeting, and am now patiently awaiting my discharge to arrive in the mail.  I've been monitoring my credit report via CreditKarma and have been noticing most of my accounts being updated as, IIB, and closed with zero balances. Capital One, however, is not showing "included in bankruptcy." The balance was updated to $0, but the payment status shows, "Collection/Charge Off." I called Capital One and they told me they sold the account to a collection agency and there was nothing they could do to report the account as IIB.  They said that when they had the account, they could have reported it correctly, but since they sold the account, they only report information from when they owned the account.  They gave me the new account owner and told me this is who I should contact. I understand what the rep is saying, but I can't believe that this account can not be updated to report as IIB.  Will this account continue to report on my CR as a charge off?  Has anyone else run into this issue?  Please help!  I am trying to get my reports as cleaned up as possible before my discharge. Thank you in advance for your repies!

    0REDSOX7 wrote:
    It is valid because they sold the debt to a collection agency prior to your filing.  They do not own it anymore.  So they report it as Collections/Charge Off. If/When the new creditor decides to report it to your credit report, it will have to say zero balance, and IIB.  And yes, the CA will be able to report it even if it was discharged (so long as reporting is accurate) as it was sold/transferred prior to your filing.With all do respect I disagree wholeheartedly with this. Yes, creditors can and do report accts previously sold/charged off prior to filing, as such. However I do not feel that it has to end this way. My recent experience with getting an original creditor (Credit One) to report as iib/0/closed, is a testament to this. Basically, I had 2 creditors reporting to Equifax that my CH7 discharged accounts were 'sold/transferred/charged off'. Naturally, like the OP, I was concerned and didn't think this was right. So, I filed an initial online dispute with Equifax, against the entries for both creditors. Ultimately Equifax found in favor of the creditors, stating that they were reporting correctly. I was LIVID! After that, I filed a second dispute, this time via certified mail and providing copies of my Schedule F inclusion of both creditors, as well as a copy of my discharge order. Similarly, Equifax again found in favor of the creditors and refused to adjust the entries. Here is where it gets better and where I hope it gives you something to look forward to: I gathered all of my documentation up and called Equifax on the phone. My initial motive for placing the call to Equifax was to get an answer to one simple question: "How could anything that the original creditors report to you, supersede documents from a discharged US Bankruptcy order?' I spoke to a halfbrained CSR at first and asked exactly that question. After haggling a bit, his ultimate answer was that he couldn't disclose any information to me on what response was given from the original creditors. This is a clear violation of law. The CB's must provide to anyone who disputes a credit entry, the exact data included in the response from the creditor. Hearing "I cannot disclose" from this CSR sent me into stratospheric anger. I asked to speak to a supervisor. The call took a better turn. After reviewing my schedule F inclusion of the creditors and the discharge papers, the Equifax supervisor agreed that the creditors were reporting unfairly and inaccurately. The supervisor has the 'Specialty Department' make the two entries for these creditors immediately update to 'iib/0/closed'.  All is well with that aspect of my story. My point is, don't lie down and just give up OP. Just because the original creditor doesnt' have to play ball, doesn't mean you can't get it reported the way you need it to. Be persistent. Gather your papers and call them. Don't lay down and accept it.

  • PSE6: moved catalog to new drive - inconsistent with original - need help

    I have a puzzling occurence since backing up my Photoshop Elements 6 catalog a week or so ago. I wanted to move my catalog/photos on my laptop from the C drive (to get it to mostly software/programs) to the D drive (mostly data and documents) because my C drive was filling up and I have lots of room on my D drive.
    Research on how to do this suggested that doing a backup and then a restore on the new drive was the way to go. I had done some cleanup on the C drive catalog beforehand, though not nearly as much as I want to do in the end. Here's what the directories report after the backup/restore (I haven't deleted the C drive catalog yet, and I want to create an additional backup to an external drive before doing so):
    catalog on C, created Dec 26 2008
    34.8 Gb
    15,392 files
    457 folders
    WINDOWS EXPLORER SAYS 443 ITEMS
    catalog on D, created Aug 14 2010
    20.6 Gb
    10,346 files
    211 folders
    WINDOWS EXPLORER SAYS 195 ITEMS
    Do any of you have any insight into what could be going on with the backup/restore? I searched the photoshop elements forums and the adobe website help, but haven't found an answer.
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi There,
    Instead of Backup Restore, just use the Move Catalog Feature. Just try the following steps:
    1. Launch Organizer
    2. Go to File -> Catalog
    3. Select Custom location radio button and choose the path on the D drive where you want the catalog to be copied.
    4. Then Select the catalog and click the move button
    5. Select the Custom Location Radio button and click OK.
    With this, your catalog will move to the new location.
    If you want to move the files within in the catalog as well, use the File -> Move command.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Tarun

  • Yoga 13: the Realtek RTL8723A new driver not yet working properly

    After having faced lots of stability issues with my bluetooth mouse (Microsoft Sculpt Touch) I installed the new driver for the wifi/bluetooth chip RTL8723A (v1.04.0213 - 6th June 2013) and after having used it for several weeks, I have noted the following:
    Bluetooth issue:
    - Still several disconnection of my mouse (but slighty less than before)
    - There is a general trend that my mouse connection is worser everyday (used to work better) - and not a problem of batteries
    Wifi issue:
    - If I activate the "plane mode" from windows 8 wifi bar, it's impossible to reactivate the wifi! I have to run the windows'internal utility to sort out the problem (right clic on the wifi bar from the desktop and "resolve problems")
    - Sometime the wifi just doesn't connect properly (its connected on the router but there is no network) and I have to turn on the plane mode and do what I wrote above to make the wifi work again. But some time it doesn't work and I have to reboot
    - Despite the "wifi hotspot mode" is implemented (the "netsh wlan start hostednetwork" command) and work it's so instable that it always end in crashing the computer and followed by a reboot (perfectly managed by Windows 8 at least). Anyway I managed to cope with that during my holidays (I used it to create another wifi network which was a network share of another wifi network to which I could only log in for one device (my Yoga 13) - so I used my "hostednetwork" to connect iDevices at the same time). But after several crashes and reboot, the wifi was so instable that I had to reinstal the driver
    I have never faced so much bugs in a so basic but vital component of a laptop which is the network card. This card is already far beyond what we could expect of a laptop of this range (the wifi n is single band, no 300 nor 450 mbits speed! It's worse than any modern smartphone!) and has not a good sensitivity but in top the driver seems to have been written by beginners.
    So Lenovo, please, do something and pressurise your provider (Realtek) so as they release a driver working correctly - or just don't use their cards and invest in better providers (like Intel which is doing great network cards with professional class software). 

    Sorry to hear about all your wifi issues.  Unfortunately a lot of Yoga 13 owners are having problems, especially due to Realtek compatibility with specific router hardware.  Just to see if things improve you might try some of the other driver versions discussed here:
    The "Beta" wifi driver from diecast17 is a little older than the official June 6th driver but first improved wireless for many users: http://forum.notebookreview.com/ideapad-essential/640537-ideapad-yoga-109.html#post9180970
    There is a slightly newer Bluetooth driver for another Lenovo product that also works for the Yoga 13 (per this forum thread, installs version 05/22/2013-1.3.744.3 vs. 09/06/2012-1.3.644.3): http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=DS034706

  • Error msg. 1327 Drive not found REALLY NEED HELP

    My iTunes does work properly but on start-up do get an msg. saying it was not installed proberly and to re-install.

    Doublechecking something.
    Could you confirm for us both that error message number and message?
    Checking, because the 1327 error message number usually comes with an "invalid drive" message rather than a "drive not found" message.

  • HP Envy 14 1260se graphics driver not installing correctly

    Recently my computer crashed and I had to reformat my hard drive. I was able to install Windows 7 with the SP1 and I have most of the drivers installed from HPs website. However, I'm having trouble installing my gaphics card (ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650). 
    I go to Device Manager and it marks an error for the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" the device status is "This device cannot start. (Code 10). I've downloaded the driver from HPs website and I can begin the installing process. However, halfway through I get a BlueScreen, LocaleID: 1033, BCCode: 116. 
    I've tried almost everything I can think of. I've uninstalled the driver and installed it again. I've downloaded the driver from AMDs website and tried installing it that way and all methods have failed. Always during the installation process I get the BlueScreen and must restore my computer to before I tried installing the driver. 
    I don't know if this would be the reason, but in my Device Manager and under Display adapters I have "Intel(R) HD Graphics" and the "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter" (which should be the Radeon 5650).  So maybe I can't install my Radeon driver because it conflicts with my Intel card. I really don't know. (Before the clean install, my computer could switch between the cards. I don't think I have that ability in my computer right now.)
    My computer is fully functional except that I can't use my graphics card. I appreaciate any help or advice out there.

    Hello @notarealninja,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! 
    I understand that your notebook computer is not able to install the graphics drivers correctly, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    In order to further diagnose the error message displayed on your computer screen, I recommend following this document on Blue Screen BCCode 116. This should help install any necessary software to prevent the occurrence of another Blue Screen message.
    Additionally, if the drivers still do not install correctly, I also suggest installing the original software and hardware drivers that came with your computer. This can be done by following this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7). To update these drivers, please follow this document on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 7).
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • New Driver Not Working

    Ok, I play FFXI, and a new patch came out, requiring me to dl the latest Drivers.
    I download them and install them and they work fine. But when i try to get into the game i get a windows Error(Where the screen is all blue, press esc to cancle and enter to continue). This does just happen with FFXI, it happes with coutner Strike, or any game that require Direct 3D. I dont know why these errors come up. But id like to fix it, or ive lost about 7 months of progress on my game.
    So i dont know If its my video card thats not working, or just my computer.
    This error doesnt come up when i use the driver, supplied with the video card.Even then if i try running FFXI, it creates an Illegal Operation. I cant run the agme w/o the new drivers. OR maybe its not that, because before it said it wasnt Intalizing my Direct 3D.
    Now my Direct 3D test are working, but when i goto dxdiag, it says my video card.
    MSI MSI-StarForce GeForce FX 5200. This name also changes when i download the new driver.
    And below the name it says, Chipset : n/a, Dac Type: n/a
    Would be nice if i could fix this problem, thnx.

    So far all we know is which video card you have, That's it.
    You did not state what type of mother board/cpu is involved, what OS, amount of RAM, or even the driver version you had been using and the version updated to.
    Impossible to venture a guess at this stage. Please tell more about this issue.

  • Mac OS Version not reported correctly in ARD

    Using ARD admin 3.7.2 the screen displays Mac OS Version as 10.9.2 but on the computer "About this Mac" clearly shows OSX 10.9.3.
    Other computers that are running 10.9.3 show correctly.  I have re-scanned but no change.  Deleted computer from "All Computers" and re-scanned, no change.
    Why are certain computers not reporting their current Mac OS Version correctly?

    I discovered that if I did the "Upgrade Client Software", the Mac OS Version shows correctly now.  The client software was already 3.7.1 but apparently re-installing it fixed the problem.

  • Time Machine restore to new drive not even starting

    I have a Macbook that came with Tiger. I upgraded a few months ago to Leopard and started using Time Machine - last time backed up about 10d ago.
    Internal hard drive crashed and I installed a new one. I don't have my original Leopard media so I borrowed from someone else, thus can't install Leopard but can boot the machine from the CD.
    When I go to utilities and select "restore from backup" (i.e. Time Machine) nothing, whatsoever, happens. It's as if I didn't even hit the button. I can see the contents of the TM disk so I know it's good. The new drive formatted fine too.
    Am I going to have to get my Leopard disks (which are 50 miles away, thus not handy) and do this in two steps (first get a working Leopard install, then try to restore from TM)?
    Thanks- really hoping that Time Machine is more than a backup placebo.

    I'm in the same situation as the original poster, the leopard DVD is at work, and on a Saturday my laptop crashed. I get this "Unable to load XIPanel_RestoreIntroduction nib file" error and I'd like to know if others have been able to:
    1) understand what this message is about, e.g. are there additional checks in the nib file or is it just not found?
    2) work around the issue one way or another.
    Apple making computers -- deterministic creatures of all, and not casinos I'm not fully satisfied with the idea that this is a gamble to work around the issue. Unless of course there is a list of "other issues" that's been published somewhere in which case I'll be grateful to not embark on a useless and ultimately doomed effort to get my mac to work.

  • Forefront clients not reporting correctly

    Hi guys
    Here at work, we have 2 Forefront management servers which are being used to provide policies for a large number of different managed customers (different networks, domains, etc).
    We're having an issue where some FEP clients are updating correctly and working fine but the Forefront reporting on the management server is saying otherwise. I've noticed that for some clients, the policy showing as installed when looking at the
    registry isn't tying up with what the report console shows.
    I've tried re-applying the required policies to some of the clients for a test but this has made no difference. I can't see any pending actions on the MOM console, etc.
    Any advice greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Did the Forefront Client Security Management Server computer display as an
    agent-managed computer on MOM Administrator console and appear in Forefront Client Security reports? If not, maybe it is due to the FCS Management Server computer does not communicate correctly with the collection server. Please make sure that you have installed
    the MOM agent on the FCS Management Server computer. In addition, I would appreciate it if you can provide some screenshots of the MOM console and the related information of the report on the FCS management server.
    Best regards,
    Susie
