Problem with hard disc.

Hello,I've bought a new Macbook with Retina Display and new hard disc .
The name of the hard disc is "Seagate".My laptop can not see the hard disc.
And i can not understand where the image of disc must come.

Is it a USB drive? If so, have you installed the recent update? Does the drive show up in Disk Utility?

Restart the MBP and immediately hold the option key down. Release the key when you see the Apple logo. The computer will boot and show you a screen with two hard drive icons.
Select Recovery and hit Return.
On the new screen, select Disk Utility and hit Return.
In DU do this:
In the list at the left, select the name of your hard drive. (Be sure to select the name 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.
When that is done, click Repair Permissions. Be patient!
When that is done, quit DU and restart in the usual way.

Apple new macbook pro dosent have a disk drive. Does the older model have a problem with the disc drive and so is removed in the new model?

No. Apple replaced the disk drive with a solid state drive (SSD) instead. The SSD is faster the old disk drive.

Snow Leopard is a Mac OS X version. You say that it's the version you have in your Mac (10.6.8). Do a back up of your files, format the hard drive (using Disk Utility) and reinstall again

Hi,
If this message is coming up in a black screen.
Then the harddrive in the system is about to go bad or already bad.
If you are able to boot to windows, FIRST BACKUP DATA.
Also run a startup test by tapping F2 as soon as you power on the system.
The smart test is a BIOS feature in most of the computer which is designed to keep cust informed if the HDD is about to go bad. But their are instances where the SMART will only let you know that the HDD is bad only when the HDD has bad.

Although I am an HP employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

I'm having problem with hard disk problem. I recently purchased HP pavilion G series notebook.

There is error displaying that there is a problem with hard disk please back up your data and contact manfature. I purchased these recently in 2011 december in india. Please help me what to do.

The error usually means what it says. Back up your data to a thumb drive or something before it crashes and call HP Support for a hard drive replacement.

FYI: MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives withNative Command Queuing (NCQ)

For those the have messed my two treads on which both ended up being cause by K8N Neo4 BIOS problem with HD's with NCQ.
Will wonders never cease? MSI Support finally conceded the BIOS has a problem with Hard Drives with NCQ and they have forwarded the problem to their programming department.
However, do not look for any results for above two weeks.

The problem that this thread has been trying to follow is the incapability of the nVidia RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives. I know the threads has been hard to follow and part of that is because when I started the thread I had what appeared to be three totally un related problems, but all three were traced down the common problem of the incapability of RAID Controller with Serial ATA Type 2.5 drives.
The title of this thread is MS-7125 BIOS has problem with Hard Drives with Native Command Queuing(NCQ). The statement was true at the time it was written and has nothing to do with memory problems.
Sense the thread was started MSI has fixed the BIOS part of the problem, but we have sense learned the nVidia RAID Controller Command software and its driver has problems too. I have been working MSI Support, they have been using me to test pre-beta BIOS and Drivers soon. Of the testing I have done the pre-beta BIOS worked and the Pre-beta 32-bit driver works. I am assuming that the latest BIOS V1.B had as part of it included fixes was the needed fixes for working with the nVidia RAID Controller as I have test the pre-beta RAID Driver with BIOS Version V1.B as the Raid array function fine windows XP Pro 32-bit Edition. As I have had no communications with MSI support of over a week now I am hoping for a release of 32-bit and 64-bit RAID Drivers. But, nobody should get the hopes up, because through other backdoor sources nVidia is having a hell of a time. One reason for this I heard is that the nVidia RAID Controller is fully software, no hardware other than the electrical drive interfaces. Their problem started when they tried using the old 32-bit code Controller with new 64-bit hardware drivers and now they are having to totally rewrite the controller core in 64-bit code. But, knowing my source, it may all be fiction.
The RAID Array you say is up and running, are the drives full specification SATA 2.5 in other words do the both have 3Gb/s speed and NCQ. If you send me the full part numbers I will check the specifications a get back to you. Because if you have nVidia RAID 0 Array you working you will be the first to have done it and there about 230 people around the world that would like to know how you did it, even MSI, who's pre-beta nVidia RAID Drivers that will work with BIOS V1.B for 32-bit Windows only and nothing for Windows XP 64, would like to know.

Before you go to Lion, just a reminder. I know you recently moved up to Snow Leopard. Be sure that everything you were running in Leopard, and now in SL, will work for you in Lion.
Remember, Rosetta and all PPC apps are gone (Word 2004, some versions of PhotoShop etc) Check the compatibility list before you ditch SL.
As far as your Disk Utility problem, how hard is it to reinstall SL?
I've taken a screen shot of my Utilities folder to show you what you are looking for. The Utilities folder as mentioned above is in the Aplication Folder (or you may have pulled it out to the side bar as well, in which case there will be an icon and the word Utilities in Places in the side bar.

Big problem possibly hard disc

My iPod has just recently freezing constantly during certain songs and thus gave me a message to restore it using iTunes. I did this and after recconectiing I types the name etc and then I went tocopy some songs over. After about 130 songs (in the process ofcopying more) it started making very noisy beeps and showed signs of unneccessary hard disk activity,which ater a short pause continued. After I ejected my iPod to see how it was going I discovered that it had wiped every song just copied over, and now it is not recognised by either my Wndows XP Pro machine or my Windows Vista Home Premium laptop and just get told by iTunes to restore it, but can't as the tab doesn't appear. As it only affected certain songs, I imagine that it is a hardarefault. Also before his which has rendered it useless it was very dodgy at turning off, is that a common problem. I bought my iPod at my local Currys on the 28th June last year so i assume they wouldnt have to help with getting a replacement. Any help much appreciated
Currently the only message I get from iTunes is that it cannot read the contents of my iPod

Yeah but I don't know if I still have my receipt though so can't prove the purcahse, and I didn't have internet when I bought it so haven't registered it. Only got as far as proof of purchase yesterday. Also I used my older PC running iTunes 6 (still XP Pro) and it restored it successfully to software version 1.1.1 (like when purchased) and it worked temporarily (with problems displaying artist if album name hadn't been filled etc) then when I copied about 200 songs back to it and it froze and was wiped when I ejected it. Now the "iTunes cannot read your iPod message" has reappeared. I'm suspect that a part of the hard disc has broken and it cannot copy by it

Boot message: problem with hard drive detected. Slow loading of windows 7

Good Day
I am having a problem with my hard drive, everytime it boots these days it starts with a message: Warning: a problem with the hard drive has been detected, followed by an extremely slow loading of windows. then once in windows it gives me Anothet message
the messsage says hard drive failure imminent you should back up you data etc.
My specs are:
Intel core 2 duo e8400 3.0 ghz
4 gig ddr3 transcend
1 tb seagate 7200.12
giga byte nvidia 9800 gt 1 gig ddr3
Please help lots of data.

Another option:
Take your hard drive out and slave it into another KNOWN WORKING PC.
Back-up your data immediately. Slow boot usually indicates that the drive is going to die. (Check your warranty!)
Then, run "chkdsk /r" from the host PC to check the failing drive. (It is good to match OSes if you can.)

Thunderbolt port problems with Hard drive

Hello guys, since I updated to Yosemite 10.10.2 I have a problem with port thunderbolt, to which I have connected a hard disk. When I turn off the hard disk with its button after pressing "eject", the hard disk turns off but also restarts the MAC. I tried to connect it to the USB3 and it works ok. This problem I had never experienced with the previous operating system. Some of you can help me? Thank you very much!!!! ;-)

I had problems with my hard drive and was able to replace it myself. I am not technical at all but was still able to do it. Go on line and you will find some sites on how to do this they are very good. It did not take long and I am using the Powerbook to respond to your thread. Good luck.

Problem with Floppy discs

I am running Solaris 10 x86. The machine has also Windows installed. With my Windows I can use floppy discs without any problem. Under Solaris (after giving volcheck command) CDE displays that floppy is unformated.
1. I tried to format it in Windows, but it didn't help.
2. I tried fdformat and received the following:
fdformat: no diskette in drive /vol/dev/rdiskette0/unknown_format
3. The CDE format dialog seems to do not do any progress while formating.
4. Other floppies also give similar result.
I read that this could be a problem with floppy driver for Solaris.
Please help!
Thank you.

While waiting for reply I searched the internet and found something that will help.
echo 'fdcsense_chng+0x45?W0' | adb -kw
WARNING: THIS ONLY WORKS FOR SOLARIS 10 x86. Using this on Solaris 9 and 8 will hang the system.

Zen Micro - problem with hard d

I have a problem with my zen micro. It does not boot up - I have tried reformatting the disk, but no success. One of the technicians I showed it to sugegsted that the hard disk has gone bad and I need to replace it. Any idea of where I can procure one from? Does creative sell it online?

Same problem here. After about 5 months of dutiful use, the hard dri've failed.
It's a paperweight now and I decided quickly and easily that the money it would take to replace the hard dri've was better spent on a flash-based player. Seeing as my original MuVo is still trucking, I'd say that flash-based players are a better choice if your storage needs are small (< 4GB being small these days).

Permissions problems with multiple discs in Mac Pro

Hi.
I have three discs in my Mac Pro. One is the boot drive, which is an SSD, another is a 2TB Seagate and the other is a smaller spare for setting stuff aside. The SSD and 2TB drives are NOT a fusion drive. They work okay but there are problems with permissions and I am trying to figure out what the permissions on each need to be for them to work in close harmony. The user account is on the boot drive but music and photo libraries, for example, are referenced on the big drive.
Permissions on the boot drive show: system - r&w, wheel - ro, everyone - ro...
On the big drive they are: Drieu(Me) - r&w, staff - r&w and everyone - ro. Ignore ownerships is not ticked and I am undecided about this.
None of these seems to be correct. I know how much chaos can ensue if changes are made rashly, so I am loth to experiment but things are wrong enough to need to do something. Does anyone have any suggestions, given I am not sharing the machine with anyone, other than the default public folder.
The spare drive has Drieu (Me) - r&w, system - ro, admin - r&w and everyone - ro!

The Samsung 840 pro SSD boot disc
10.9.5 and later turn ON kext signing, which turns OFF TRIM Enabler. A non-Apple SSD without TRIM cannot eliminate deleted files, so it will eventually become choked with an accumulation of deleted data. Doing the Install under these conditions could add 20GB or more of deleted data, and it could become super-slow.
The 2TB disk [that was the Boot Disk]
that permissions over the whole disc vary. Some files require that I enter the password to move them.
Permissions for different folders vary widely. For example, System Directories are write-locked to you, and moving files from them would require that you authenticate as Admin.
Files transferred from the desktop to this disc require to have the command key applied to move, rather than copy.
The default in a Drive-to-Drive transfer IS Copy. To change that to Move, you must hold the Command or Option key. This is a Documented Feature, and is working as designed. Default for Folder-to-Folder On the same Drive is Move.
I also find that when modifying blocks of files they can suddenly disappear and I have to come out and run round the block before I can go back in to finish the job. It works okay but it is unnerving, despite having a backup.
One or both of those drives may be having problems. What you describe does not sound normal.
