Question marks/drivers in Device Manager on Mac Pro Win Xp

I have attempted to slipstream and install the SATA drivers onto a separate drive in my Mac Pro. It is confusing though, some people say use he ACHI version of the drivers while others say use the RAID. I used the raid. Anyway I did not install the chipset drivers but used the drivers produced by Boot Camp 1.1. I installed them after the Win XP install. When I look at device manager I have question marks (?) by the following items;
Other devices- Base system device, under System devices-Intel 5000 Series chipset PCI Express x4 port3-25E3, port5, port 6, and port 7. I also have a driver with question mark called PCI device. Does anyone else have similar issues. What should I do if anything? Thanks.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) 100gb 7200rpm HD + 2gb Ram

I used the Raid drivers as well and have very good performance on any drive activity. As for the other drivers, most people have had luck with using the BootCamp 1.1 Mac driver CD that you can create from the BootCamp Assistant.
It covers the Intel chipset drivers, Ethernet drivers, and typically the Audio chipset. My system still have '!' on the Interl 5000 Series Chipset PCI E x4 port 3-7, but seems to have no effect on the system. The last PCI device would most likely be your Audio Chipset, again try the CD created by BootCamp.

Blue et white face and question mark flashing when i open my mac

BLUE ET WHITE FACE AND QUESTION MARK FLASHING WHEN I OPEN MY MAC POWER G5 HELP

That means that it can't find an OS to boot. You might try booting off the CD that came with the system and running Disk Utility on the Hard Drive.

HT1379 I have lost everything on my mac, a gray screen with a folder and question mark is blinking. i hav another mac that is running slowly, how can I boot and reinstall os x Lion, i do not have the start up disc with me.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Lion uses Recovery to reinstall OS X. Press Command and R keys when your Mac starts, open Disk Utility, erase the drive and reinstall Lion. The other Mac has probably got its hard disk damaged, so take the Mac to an Apple Store

Satellite A60-S1591ST: yellow exclamation marks in the device manager

Hi,
Recently I formatted C: and installed XP professional. But after the installation, there were several problems.
First, in device manager, there are big yellow marks in SM BUS Controller, Video Controller (VGA Compatible).
How can I fix these?
Second, when I scroll down screen side bar to read or see some contents down in a certain site, my screen is so sensitive and waves simultaneously with moving or clicking of the scroll bar. Is it related with above devices?
My notebook is Toshiba Satellite A60-S1591ST, XP pro with SP2
I don't know how to recognize the model of motherboard
thanks in advance.

Hi
The problem can be solved very fast the yellow exclamation appears in the device manager because you didnt install the necessary drivers.
So you will now ask for the driver page ;) Am I right?
Well this is a Toshiba US notebook I think so ;)
Check this page:

Choose the Satellite A60-S1591ST and you should get all needed drivers.

Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen, Hello, mac mini will not boot. I get a file symbol with a question mark, then a white screen

Hello, My mac mini will not boot. When I turn it on, I get the chime, then the white screen, then the apple symbol, then a file symbol with a question mark, then the white screen and then it stays like that.
Is this a bad hard drive?

Sounds like it. Try booting from your OSX restore DVDs - startup and hold down "C". This will take AGES! Then run Disk Utility from the menu.
The flashing ? means your system is corrupt, dead, not there, on a dying HD, etc...

Satellite Pro A120-145: yellow exlamation mark in the device manager

Hi all,
I have a Satellite Pro A120-145 running Win Xp Pro fully patched and up to date, I have a yellow exlamation mark against "serial" in non plug and play in device manager (when i click show hidden devices).
Could anyone tell me which driver is needed for this? I don't want to use the recovery disc as I have done a custom install to get rid of excess baggage which is included on the disc.
thanks in advance.

That troubleshooting guide that Juan28 posted is really good. If the driver of the unknown device is already available (i.e. after the recovery CD installation) you might find your way through.
In case you can't locate a suitable driver for your unknown device on your Laptop, you could try and download a freeware called "Unknown Device Identifier" from this site:
http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html
This program will allow you to locate the device ID and make a search with it on the Internet.
Hope this will sort things out.

HP Elitebook Folio 9480m drivers missing / Device Manager PCI Device and Unknown device?

Hello all, I have already installed Windows 8.1 Pro x64 and i have on the device manager still 2 missing drivers they are PCI Device and Unknown device??
Please see attached a printscreeen. ANy idea which drivers are missing? Thank you all

Hi: You need this driver for the PCI device... http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=7089928&swItemId=ob_134503_1&swEnvOid=4158 I gave you the driver for the unknown device when you had W7 on the machine, so it is probably the same one. http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=7089928&swItemId=ob_132986_1&swEnvOid=4158 If it is not that one (or you had two unknown devices at one time, and already installed the 3D driveguard driver), then it is probably this one... http://h20566.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/detail?sp4ts.oid=7089928&swItemId=ob_133322_1&swEnvOid=4158

I cant even reinstall os x after a question mark folder showed up on my mac.

I opened my macbook pro this moring and this question mark folder came up. I restarted it and it came back normally and was working just fine. I came home and the same problem occured, Ive tried to shut it down and press option key on my keyboard. Os x utilities popped up and it seemed like theres nothing for the system to repair so I moved on to restore from time machine which also didnt work. I finally decided to reinstall os x mountain lion knowing that all my files will probably be gone. but then there was no disk I could select for the new installation. What's happening? Is there any ways I could fix this problem?

its a mid2012 macbook and yes theres one near where i lve. Connecting cable as in the charger? Sorry i have very little knowledge on stuff like this. But thanks for letting me know. Just out of curiosity do u know what can i do to prevent future damge thats similar to this one?

Windows 7 x64 USB AUDIO DEVICE - Device Not Working - Mac Pro

I have a mac pro early 2009. I had vista x64 installed, everything was great. I had 2 audio devices under device manager, one was listed as HD (digital) and one device was listed as analog audio.
When I played games and wanted the external speakers (using the digital out connection) I had the HD (digital) audio device enabled.
When I played games and wanted to use a headphone/microphone combo, I had the analog audio device enabled.
Switching between the two was as easy as clicking the audio device icon and clicking on whichever device I wanted.
Now that I installed windows 7 x64, I have a HD (optical out) device in device manager and it works perfectly. Unfortunately, I also have another device listed called "USB Audio Device" and it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to it and it is NOT working properly.
I tried many suggestions on here, which included downloading the cirrus logic audio driver and picking different models, as well as trying the snow leopard install disk driver for cirrus logic, and even tried installing the realtek analog driver. The closest I got to getting anything to work was installing the realtek analog driver. It installed fine up to the point when windows said "this driver is not tested, do you wish to install it anyway?" and I click yes, but then it pauses for a few seconds and the same message comes up again and repeats in a endless loop until you say "no, do not install driver" and then it does a uninstall of the driver.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and if so were you able to fix it?
Thanks

You can ignore USB audio, you want RealTek HD Audio. There are or can be some of those yellow alerts that are safe to ignore. Buried somewhere in Apple Support BootCamp technotes.
You can use installer from Realtek or zip file in which case just uncompress and update the driver from inside Device Manager. Nice thing, you can rollback a driver if you want to, or totally uninstall and then reinstall.

Flashing Question mark: New hard drive not working Macbook Pro late 2008

After following several peoples advice on this forum I decided to upgrade my Macbook Pro late 2008 with a Seagate (1TB) Solid State Hybrid Drive 2.5 inch.
Heres the device.
http://www.morecomputers.com/spec.aspx?pn=ST1000LM014
After creating a mountable boot on a External hard drive with Mavericks install I removed the current hard drive and replaced with the new seagate drive. However it didn't seem to recognize the external hard drive (it is quite old but works perfectly) and went to a flashing grey question mark screen and wouldnt do anything else. Ive tried holding down command-r and option-r but I get nothing. Its just the same flashing question mark. I have done this several times and the same result.
I put the old drive back in and it works fine.
I am trying to work out is the problem with the mountable external hard drive OR is it the hard drive is not compatible with my computer?
Appreciate your help
Gary

Sorry I think you may be confused.
I am trying to install the new Seagate hard drive to my mac (not as an external hard drive).
I replace the macbook pro hard drive with the seagate drive:
http://www.morecomputers.com/spec.aspx?pn=ST1000LM014
I then started up the machine with a usb external hard drive with a boot copy of mavericks on it. However, it just displayed a flashing question mark and wouldnt start booting the osx.
I am trying to work out is the problem with the mountable external hard drive OR is it the hard drive is not compatible with my computer? Im guessing it must be hard drive. Would it be better to use a USB pen drive as the external hard drive is quite old?
Does anyone know what the problem could be as the hard drive is brand new.
Appreciate your help
Thanks, Gary

TS1440 A flashing question mark appeared when I started my MacBook Pro, I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked. How can I back up my current files so I can reinstall Mavericks?

I recently did a manual reboot after my MacBook Pro had frozen, and instead of the usual Apple and loading icon, it gave me the flashing question mark on a folder, which I've never encountered before. I looked up some possible reasons on my PC, and after reading that there's a problem with my HD I tried looking up how to back up my files so that I can do a clean reinstall of Yosemite (latest ver.). However, I've never used anything like Time Machine or anything else that could back up all my files, so it didn't sound like I could do anything about that at this point. I've also tried going into Disk Utility and attempting to repair the disk image. There was only 2 available, disk0 and the base system. I verified the base system, and told me there was nothing wrong (it didn't give me the option to repair anything either, on both available options). I don't think this is the right thing though, since my drive was called MacBook Pro HD. So basically this is the point I'm at now. Is there anything I can do that will repair my HD without erasing all my files?

I've tried all the suggestions and nothing has worked.

Hold the option key on boot to see if you can select your Macintosh HD.

ATI catalyst drivers not working properly in Mac Pro late 2013

Hi, I have a 6-core Mac Pro late 2013 with two D500 ATI graphics cards and installed Windows 8.1 Pro through bootcamp. I have installed the bootcamp drivers while in windows installation, however there is a problem opening the Fire Pro drivers (catalyst drivers). I get a message that says something like "there is no option to change so the software will not run". I also tried to download the ATI drivers directly from their site, but still get the same problem.
This poses a problem for me since I need windows for a specific lighting design software that I work with -Dialux-, and it uses Open GL, which doesn't seem to work in my configuration. Does anyone have any similar problem or solution?
Please help. Thanks.

Does the reader show up under USB in System Report?
If the reader is working properly both the reader and an inserted card will show up.
