Problem changing startup drive?

I have a G4/dual 533/800+RAM/OSX 10.3.9. Three internal drives: 1 with 2 sections, 1 with 5 sections (one of which is the current startup drive, and 1 unsectioned. System preferences does not recognize the remaining 4 sections of the 5-section drive or the unsectioned drive (which I would like to be the new startup drive).
In the "About this Mac" menu, all drives and sections are listed.
Functionally, the computer recognizes all the drives and sections.
I need to change the startup because I am attempting to install iLife '06 and there is not enough room on the current startup to do it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Dennisd:
It may be that when you partitioned your partitions were not formatted as bootable drives.
However, to locate drive you want to use as a startup, from a cold start hold the Option key while you hit the power button. The desktop will come up with all the available bootable drives it finds. If it is does not, hit the refresh button (circular arrow) and see if it comes up with the drive for which you are looking. Then select the drive you want and click the directional arrow.
If your drive does not come up you need to set up your drive as a bootable drive.
Good luck.

Changing startup drive

I have recently upgraded my PowerMac G5 Quad to Leopard. I have also added a drive internally and set it up as a Mirrored RAID. When I tried to boot from my backup drive which is a Firewire 800 connection it rebooted as Tiger. I finally got Leopard reinstalled and erase my Firewire drive and used Time Machine to back it up in Leopard. Now when I go to System Preferences and access startup drive my Firewire drive is no longer available as a start up disk. What happened? Is there something I need to change. I erased it because I do not want to restore back to Tiger, if I need to restore I want to do it in Leopard. Any ideas. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Your Time Machine backups are on the Firewire disk now, correct?
Time Machine backups are not bootable -- they're not a "clone." They are a complex structure of multiple hard links, so Time Machine can do fast periodic "incremental" backups of what's new or changed, but have each backup be, in effect, a full backup. You can restore from them, either selectively or your entire system; if you restore your entire system from any backup, that is bootable.

Problem changing startup disk one time

My main OS is 10.8.5 but have second hard drive with OS 10.6.8 on it for use with older applications. I've never had trouble rebooting in 10.6.8 when necessary by holding down the option key. Suddenly it doesn't work; the computer just hangs with a gray screen. Nothing has really changed in my setup in the few weeks since I've last rebooted in 10.6.8. I've verified both startup disks and repaired permissions on both.

Yes to both questions. Since posting my question, I tried resetting the PRAM (in 10.8.5) and the result was that the computer wouldn't start in either OS; it would just get to the gray screen and hang. I found an Apple document that suggested remedies. Starting while holding down command-R or shift didn't work. Then I unplugged all my peripherals and the computer started normally. I followed the procedure of reconnecting one peripheral at a time (rebooting each time) and didn't find the culprit. I then went to the next procedure: adding them one at a time (again rebooting each time) and this didn't find the problem either. Now I can reboot normally in either my preferred 10.8.5 or the alternative 10.6.8, but I'm a little uneasy since I don't know what the problem was and never really fixed or changed anything.

Changing Region Drives

Hi,
I recently changed my region code to 1 to watch a DVD, and on attempting to change it back to region Code 2 this evening I get an error pop up that says:
There was a problem changing the drive region code.
Error: -70001
I have one change left so don't know why it won't let me change back to region 2.
Help !!

If you are stuck with a Mac that comes with a Matshita drive and are a user that travels between regions or has mutli-region discs it is always recommended to just add an external DVD drive to your system. Keep the internal set to one region and the external set to another.
If you are lucky to have a Tower or Mac with an easy access chassis you can simply replace your DVD drive with a better unit as new ones are quite inexpensive from your local PC shop.
There is light at the end of the tunnel, the next DVD standard has a lot of manufacturers dropping region lockouts. The insanity will be over soon, but we have to deal with it in the meantime.
If you have an older Matshita or most modern drives you can get RPC1 firmware to put on the drive (RPC2 is the version that is causing all the grief such as you are experiencing with your unit).
For the later option, visit this website and type in a name or model number of your drive as reported in System Profiler.
I have, unfortunately, and internal Matshita which is left at Region 1 USA and I have an external Nec 3520a I put in a firewire box that is firmware RPC1 region free because I need 3 region support to go between USA (1), UK (2), Denmark/Norway/Sweden (2), Australia (4) and New Zealand (4). I think the tard who thought this up should be shot.

Changing boot drive at startup

I have a loan of a PBG3, 300 MHz running System 9.2.
I have a scsi adaptor for it.
I have multiple scsi drives, both external and internal from (1) a IIsi and (2) a performa 6300 CD.
I could not get the IIsi to boot. However, the drive was spinning up, so I was hopeful that if I put it in an external enclosure and attached it to a computer that talks scsi, that it would come up. It tries to. In fact, it tries to snatch the boot from the PBG3, whereupon I get a message saying that the PBG3 can't run that old an operating system.
I just went and looked at the pdf of the manual that is on the apple website. It did not deal with this issue. Does anyone out there know if there is a set of keys that I can hold down to force boot drive selection at startup, before the external tries to hijack the boot? I checked, and the startup drive appears to be listed as the powerbook. At least, it is selected when I look at the control panel.
I plan to go through the same process with the performa drive. I'm pretty sure it's running 7.6, (the IIsi probably has 7.1 on it), so I'll probably have the same problem.

It tries to. In fact, it tries to snatch the boot from the PBG3, whereupon I get a message saying that the PBG3 can't run that old an operating system.
Macs will seldom run any OS older that what they shipped with. The oldest OS shipped with the earliest Wallstreets G3s was 8.1; yours probably shipped with something newer. If you really need to boot those drives, they will have to be attached to an older Mac.
According to the MacTracker database, the 6300 has an ATA drive. Much easier to deal with if you only need to recover files. A gadget like this:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Newer%20Technology/U2NV2SPATA/
allows you to connect a bare drive to any USB-equipped computer.

Yosemite will not install and won't let me change startup disk, it's saying there is a file system problem but disk utilities can't fix it.

I Downloaded the Yosemite upgrade and went to install it on my iMac. The install failed saying file System needed repair. Ran disk utility could do the verify but the repair button was grayed out. When I tried to change startup disk back it wouldn't let me , saying it couldn't gather enough file info. So I'm stuck and can't boot my Mac. How do I get out of this?

Do a backup. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Try to reboot normally.

G4 Startup Drive Crash problems

My G4 crashed last night and it wont load past the grey apple screen now.
I booted from an external HDD's OS to try to fix the startup drive with Disk Warrior or Disk Utility. I have a lot of important data on the internal startup drive that's giving me an error and I can't get it to work with either Disk Utility or Disk Warrior. (please note that the internal drive with the errors is always unmounted)
Here are the errors I get with each application.
Disk Utility: Volume check failed.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit.
1 HFS Volume checked
1 Volume could not be repaired because of an error.
Disk Warrior: (This application stalls up on step 5 which is "Locating directory data")
it then says: Speed inhibited by disk malfunction.
I have a lot of extremely important data that has to do with my career on this drive. I can't afford to lose it, so I need any help anyone can give me to help repair or at least salvage the data before wiping the drive.
Thank you in advance.

I've used Tech Tool Pro 4 before now which yielded some fairly good results, not used DW before though, but you could look here:
http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/dwvsdwre.html - though you will have to buy DW again
or: http://www.micromat.com/
I've heard of another tool but can't remember the name (sorry) I'll ask the person who told me & I'll post back tomorrow.
Also you may find something free online if you look hard enough. Does anyone know a of a good downloadable program?

Startup Drive has a Question Mark on it and Wheel is spinning

After I completed the installation of Leopard, my Powerbook G4 would not reboot properly. It only gets as far as showing my desktop, without any startup drives or the DVD. It is all blank. I can see information at the top of the finder. The wheel continues to spin. Because of the spinning, I can't access anything in the finder or the desktop, etc. But I am able to go down to the dashboard and open Safari, Word and my documents. But my finder on the top right continues to spin whenever I put it up there. I see many of the features of 10.5. If I leave a program open, I can access the left side of the finder. When I go to force quit, I see that the finder is not responding. I relaunch it, but then I have the same problem, the spinning wheel. Tried to shut down, but nothing, just the spinning wheel. I am able to shut it off by holding down the start up button. Help!!

Changing iPod drive letter fixes "could not mount ipod"

So the problem I was having is that although my Windows XP SP2 machine could see my iPod nano as a drive, whenever I tried to use iPod Updater or iTunes, they could not connect/recognize the device. iTunes would simply not see that I had the device, while the updater would freeze for a good 5 - 10 minutes before giving me the "could not mount ipod" error. I tried everything, selective startup, windows update, made sure that I did indeed have USB 2.0 hardware, made sure that when I connected the ipod that Windows Device Manager said it was a "Standard ENHANCED USB Hub," restarted ipodservice, formatted ipod using windows, and probably a few other things. Still, although Windows could see the ipod just fine, apple's software just could not. I could even copy files to and from the device just fine! If only we didn't need iTunes to copy music. :P
Well, one thing I suspected it could be is that with my computer, my primary hard drive (and I only have one) is mysteriously drive letter "D" while when I plugged in my iPod it took on the holy "C" drive letter. Could this be a problem? Possibly, but not likely I thought. So I tried some 3rd party software which emulated the ipod software and I got an error message. First that it appeared my ipod was not formatted (which it was) and second that it "could not create :\ipod_control". First thing I thought was, where is the drive letter? The software isn't even looking for the ipod in C:\, it's looking nowhere! So what I did it changed the ipod's drive letter from C to something else and viola, it worked.
So it seems the iPod may not like it when it is named C, or there was some conflict with the iPod using the C drive letter since, I'll admit, I used to have two hard drives and the other one used to be C. Could also be a bug, who knows.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Ah, the Drive Letter C problem again.
The iPod software and iTunes will not recognize the iPod if it is assigned to drive C. Changing the drive letter to a higher one not used by other drives will solve the problem.

Problems with second drive in G5 tower

I've had two drives in my G5 tower, since the day of purchase (about 4 years ago). I recently had to replace the boot drive in the drive "A" bay area. After doing this, the computer won't boot unless I unplug the second drive in the drive "B" area.
1) If I leave both drives plugged in and boot, the computer hangs on the "Blue progress bar" part of the start up.
2) If I try and boot from the Disk Utilities disc, it just scans for drives indefinitely, and never pulls anything up.
3) If I unlplug the boot drive (in drive bay "A") and startup from the install disc, I can see the second drive
4) If I unplug the second drive and boot from the startup drive (in drive bay "A") - It work fine.
Any ideas?

I wonder if Panther is part of the issue?
The G5 was a surprise to see Apple jump on SATA in 2003 when it was brand new, untested, all the drives I looked at spring/summer were just ATA drives with an SATA bridge thrown in to add SATA connections, not really SATA at all, hence the name "native SATA drive" came into being.
Not a conflict between the two drives, huh?
Also, booting into Open Firmware and giving reset-nvram commands does help.
I didn't realize the new WD drives still had jumper blocks. Those were really confusing in the past (if it ships with jumper it meant one mode, but if it shipped w/o it didn't mean the same as removing jumper).
So these new Caviar Blue line aren't just plug and play in all G5s? that is a shame.
In the past it was spread spectrum clocking (SSC) that was blamed for problems. But the G5 was designed before SATA 1.0 was much of a finalized or standardized (and every vendor implemented different features, not consistant.
The idea of 'backward compatible' doesn't seem to be an option and Seagate uses jumpers, too. The idea of SATA "no more jumpers" came back. Auto configure or negotiate only works if you know in advance.
4 yrs ago, would be "Late 2004" or maybe the June 2004 refresh line. That summer, memory was a big issue, what use to work wasn't and for a month the forum was full of questions about why and what changed, even though tthe specs "looked" the same, they were tighter and a heacheache for vendors (Crucial even) and customers alike.
Means it was "plug and pray" for everyone.

Boot failure on G5 - how to change startup?

I added a new drive to dual processor powerpc g5 running os10.5.6. It worked fine.
I changed the startup to old disk, OS 10.5 boot disk and back to new disk 6-8 times and no problem.
Last night I changed startup to old disk, rebooted and no go.
I get a gray screen (no apple logo), then a blue/green screen (my background color) and there it stalls.
I've tried rebooting with the OS boot disk but it doesn't override startup preference.
Tried the option key after the reboot fanfare, also tried it as soon as reboot stops. Neither work.
I tried doing all of the above after machine had been shut down overnight.
Still doesn't work.
What now?

First, thanks for your help. Whatever the outcome. Now on to the specifics:
Didn't work -- Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup).
Didn't work -- Command+Shift+Option+Delete bypasses the disk selected in the Startup Disk control panel in favor of an external device or from CD-ROM.
I don't have an bootable disk/external device, but I do have the OSX/Leopard boot disk in the superdrive.
Didn't work -- Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
I did go to the provided URL and went through the steps a couple of times.
But I'm thinking the reset would set the startup to the original HD, which is the one I'm having trouble with.
Is it a Wireless or USB Keyboard? It's a USB Keyboard with a wireless mouse.
Would this work? Turn it all off, remove the original HD, and Would I need to put the second/new HD in its place? Or just remove the original and would the boot up process automatically roll over to the new HD? Or just hang in its everlasting search for the old HD?
I had backed up everything from it except some movie clips, including some of my husband before he got sick. I'd really just like to get those clips off and the rest of it can all go to Jupiter.
Boot failure on G5 - how to change startup?

Problem erasing MacBook drive while booted from external drive

Hello,
I'm booted on a MacBook Pro from an external drive, and I want to erase the drive inside the MacBook using Disk Utility from the external. For some reason or another, it won't let me do this.
When I click on the Erase tab (whether clicked on the disk itself or the volume "Macintosh HD") and try to erase it, it returns with the error:
Disk Erase failed
Disk Erase failed with the error:
Could not unmount disk.
When I try to install an image onto the drive, I get a similar error, except it says "Operation not permitted."
When I tried it while booted with an OS X DVD, it worked fine.
As far as I know, I should be able to do this while booted from the external HD.
Any solutions to this problem?
Thanks,
Jason

Hello Jason and welcome to the discussions. You could try to re-partition the internal drive while booted from the external. Using disk utility from the externals Application/Utilities folder click on the internal drive (the manufacturers #, should be above the internal name) and select the partition tab.
change the partition table and then restore it back to the original. This will wipe out all the partitions and should show the drive as empty. Then I would erase all the free space using the erase tab and selecting your Macintosh HD or whatever you named your new internal startup drive the click on the "erase free space" button. Select "zero out deleted files" then erase. It will warn you that the drive is full when it gets near the end...thats okay just click to ignore or proceed. That should do it.
Cheers,
Glynn

How do I set Time Machine to backup a new startup drive?

The HD in my iMac is getting ready to bite the dust - it's hung up on me a few times recently and is making clicking noises intermittently. AppleCare has expired and I don't want to open the iMac to change the drive myself, nor do I want to pay Apple approx $400 to replace the old drive. I used Carbon Copy to clone the iMac's HD to an external firewire drive, and now I boot from the external drive.
I think Time Machine is still looking at the internal drive as the source drive, because it is having some problems now. How can I make sure that Time Machine is backing up the external drive?
Thanks,
Doug

Go to Time Machine Preferences > Options.
If the external drive is listed in the exclusions box, it is not getting backed up. Select it and click the minus sign at the bottom. Time Machine will do a full backup of it on the next run. That will, of course, require a lot of time and space on your TM drive.
If the internal HD isn't listed in the exclusions box, click the plus sign at the bottom, select it on the next window and click Exclude so Time Machine will quit trying to back it up.
And while running from the external, to view the backups of the internal HD, you'll need the procedure in #E3 of [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).

How do I install a new startup drive

My startup drive on my Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.7.5 is full and I need to replace it with a 2T drive. How do I go about changing over the data and rebooting with the new drive?

Put the new drive into one of the empty bays.
Drive Partition and Format
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Apply button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Quit DU and boot from the Recovery HD:
Clone Lion/Mountain Lion using Restore Option of Disk Utility
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
     1. Select Disk Utility from the main menu then press the Continue
         button.
     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 new disk drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
