Raptor 69 gig not 74

Started assembling k8n neo4 plat. (not sli) with 3700+ San diego. I installed an raptor 74 gig hdd but it is only showing 69 gig. Now the question is. When formatting the drive I goofed and did the recommended ( quick deal ) without even thinking about it. Could this be the reason only 69 gig rather than 74 or is this normal.
Den?

Hey Den,
I've never owned a SATA drive so I cannot give you a 100% definitive answer... but I think that SATA drives still follow the same principle in terms of calculating storage size.
First things first... You haven't goofed anything up, nor is your drive defective... its just that drive manufactures calculate the size of their hard drives by using 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte as the base. Where as Windows uses a base of 1024. So what does this all mean... well with a bit of basic math I migh be able to help in answering your question.
OK so the hardware manufacture's method: 1000 bytes = 1 kilobyte >>> 1000 kilobytes = 1 megabyte >>> 1000 megabytes = 1 gigabyte.
The Windows Method: 1024 bytes = 1 kilobyte >>> 1024 kilobytes = 1 megabyte >>> 1024 megabytes = 1 gigabyte.
So now the math: We need to conver 74 gigabytes into just bytes.
1000*1000*1000 = 1000000000.... are how many bytes are there in 1 gigabyte. So now multiply that by 74 and you get 74000000000
Therefore according to the hard drive manufacture's: 74000000000/1000000000 = 74 (gigbytes)
Now according to windows:1024*1024*1024 = 1073741824.... are how many bytes are there in 1 gigabyte. So now divide 74000000000 by 1073741824 and you get 68.9 (gigabytes)... Which is exaclty what Windows is showing you.
I hope I didn't fudge things up with my calculatiosn and confuse you further... maybe someone else can back me up/provide a definitive answer.
Good Luck!
That is the correct answer....no more no less...
Be well....

  • Raptor does not connect to oracle 8i

    Hi,
    i have a question,
    Raptor does connect to an oracle 8i database? or only to 9i and 10g versions?
    thanks

    Hi,
    You can connect to a 8i database using Raptor, but not everything will work as it should. For instance, if you click on the Columns tab for a Table, you won't get the metadata back.
    Raptor is not supported on 8i.
    Hope this helps.

  • Why do I keep losing my GarageBand music that is saved on my icloud account one at a time? I have 4 gigs not used and just lost another.

    I save all my garage band songs to the cloud. They are about 1.5 gigs worth of a 5 gig free account. If I don't access them for a few weeks I find maybe one will be missing. This has happened 2 times in the past 6 months. Again it's not an issue where I gust ran out of storage ether locally or on my icloud, they just seem to disappear. Any thoughts?

    I have the same problem. It has happened twice in the last week. Nobody here has actually given a solution to the problem.
    Here are the particulars:
    -iPhone 4S
    -iOS version 7.0.4
    -Seems to only happen when I am home and the iPhone is synching with WiFi.
    -The problem begins with a dialog window on the phone that requests that I re-enter my iCloud credentials.
    -Within a few minutes/hours, all of the iCloud information is gone (contacts, calendars)
    -Email seems to still work for the iCloud and all other email accounts (gmail, hotmail, etc.)
    -The only way to get back the information is to re-boot the phone.
    -Prior to the dialog window, nothing out of the ordinary has taken place.
    -I am a little OCD, so I permanently close all running programs except for Mail, Messages, and Phone.
    -Programs running prior to the problem could be many but typically I use Waze while driving home, and I would have closed it after I pull in to the garage. (My iPhone gets WiFi in the garage)
    -The biggest drag is that when the contacts get cleared, any personal ringtones, or other identifiers get permanently cleared and have to be reassigned. That is the most annoying part.
    What else does anyone need to know? It seems to be a thing, so when (and I'm sure it will repeat) it happens again I will throroughly check all suggestions.
    I know how to fix it. I would like to know how to prevent it from ever happening again.

  • New IPOD 30 gig not seen by one PC is seen by another PC

    Hello. I have an IPOD 30 gig that I bought for my son for christmas. It has been working fine for about 3 weeks on my main PC at home. Over the last 1-2 weeks the same PC is no longer "seeing" the IPOD. This same PC is "seeing" and is able to sync with another IPOD, a 4 gig NANO, just fine. The other day I finally had a chance to try to fix it by following all of the posts about 5 Rs etc and the PC is still being difficult, I have tested it on all of my USB ports built in to the PC and on one built into the HP printer, none see the IPOD. I have tried to format it using the HP format USB device tool, but since the IPOD is not seen by the PC it does not allow a format to occur. The IPOD does charge when plugged into the USB port but that is all it does.
    So the other day I finally had a moment to test using my laptop, and the stinking IPOD worked as it should, the laptop could "see" the IPOD and Itunes could sync with it fine. I then retested the IPOD to the main PC and it is still not working at all.
    Can someone give me a new direction to take to help me make my son happy again?
    Thanks,
    Larry

  • How to setup x2 sata W/D Raptor drives not using raid

    Hi all,
    I am new to this forum so please be kind.
    I have just got myself this NE02 board along with 2 W/D Raptor SATA Hard Drives.
    I have seem many instructions in these groups about how to configure sata drives using a raid configuration.
    What I am looking to do is basically install 2 Raptor SATA drives not using raid,
    And also have 2 ide cdrom drives.
    Can someone please come back with a nice simple if that can be done! configuration on how i can best achive this.
    Many thanks for all your help.
    Silent2004

    In bios under Integrated Peripherals, On Chip ATA Operating Mode set
    Native Mode
    ATA Configuration - SATA only
    SATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA Keep enabled - yes
    PATA channel selection - both
    Configure SATA as Raid - no
    Read the raid thread at the top anyway, as you may want to install the drivers during the XP install in case you change your mind later.
    Also, during your Windows installation, just connect a single SATA drive untill you are up and running.

  • Memory usage ind - accurate? successful live gig notes

    I did a 3-set coverband thing last night with MainStage, and all went well. I covered everything using MainStage, Pianoteq for pianos, the rest was all Logic's own mass of sounds (out of all the installed Logic Studio package plus a bunch of stuff from the L7 era).
    Worked great, but what bothered me is this:
    while setting up the sets, I was watching the memory meter, and it was nearly pegged, so I started getting creative about how to set stuff up.
    Strangely though, when I saved, quit, and reloaded the concert, the memory indicator was practially nothing (comparatively). What exactly does this meter display (available memory after taking into account any other processes possible running on the machine) or something else? After the initial worry that I lost something somewhere, I ran through all the patches and everything was fine. Even after running through all the patches, the memory indicator never moved up again...
    By the way. I literally programmed the whole concert on my quad G5, saved the concert file out to a memory stick, and popped it into my MacBook Pro and read it in from there. The G5 uses mLAN, for this gig I took along an old MOTU 828 instead of ripping stuff out of my studio. Worked like a charm... Quad is Tiger, MBP is Leopard; no problem! Did I test it first, yes, but not completely. Forgot to load the USB MIDI driver from Yamaha so that the MBP would see my Motif ES8 controller. No problem. Connected over Bluetooth to my 3G phone here and downloaded the driver while the rest of the crew were hooking up cables. Came back in all fixed in less than 10 minutes.
    Set list? In Numbers. Used Spaces to switch back and forth between seeing the setlist and the display of MainStage. I actually think I'll put some of the charts in .pdf format and put those in another space to look at (I'm not a regular in this particular band so there's some arrangement "stuff" I need reminders of).
    Sounds? I had some reservations about using Pianoteq for pianos live, but there are some "patches" on their website that are better for this kind of gig. Used one of those for the "stock" piano sound. I have Ivory and TruePianos as well but wanted to work without an external drive to stream Ivory samples from and TruePianos seems to use a lot of CPU on my Quad, so I didn't want to run into a possible issue there. Can load up lots of Pianoteq instances without any probs... The EVB3 just plain rocks. Did a couple of things that worked nicely with Delay Designer including a cool built-up intro to Chaka Khan's Ain't Nobody (I hate playing that song - need 6 hands to cover everything! but the intro got smiles from the band). Normally I'd use some stuff from Atmosphere, but the Intel-wrapper thing they've done was something I didn't want to try live just yet.
    The most striking "takeaway" from this gig was that although I had my Motif with me (and it has always been the "main horse" for live gigs for the sporadic once in a while case where I do them), I never used it. It was purely a controller. I hooked up audio to for the case that the Mac would fail horribly, but it didn't happen. Seriously, a live gig, all sounds coming from a Mac. I used to haul around 3 synths, an 88 key controller, and a 20-space rack years ago, this just kills that!!!
    Anyway, repeat gig next week Saturday with the same band - gotta work up some surprises in the mean time!
    Michael

    Hi Michael,
    thanks for sharing your experience. I too have had the same kind of issue with memory as you describe (see previous posts). Usually when I am trying to assemble a number of patches for the gig, I frequently load and unload different synths, sounds, etc. trying to get the right sounds for a song. However, as I do this, the memory usage continues to grow until its in the red. What I have noticed (on my Macbook Pro) is if I just shut down and restart MainStage, the memory meter is pretty much the same, but once I shut down and restart my computer, loading up MainStage indicates a smaller memory usage. I haven't found a work around for this other than to make sure I do an absolute clean boot, with network shutdown and no other apps running, just to ensure I have a stable environment. So far, I haven't had any gig crashing events, but the instability causes me to check MainStage very frequently throughout my gig to make sure nothing has gone wrong. I would sure like Apple to fix these issues.

  • 160 Gig Not recognizing artists on the ipod

    I have a 160 Gig Ipod classic its brand new just started adding music on to it. I have found that when I go to artist selection, there are artists not there to select. So i check that i put them on there. There are saved on my Ipod. Then i go to album select and the artist is there but still not in the artist select location. Its happening for artists, Brian Mcknight, Flo Rida. And yes these are their cds bought and paid for. Any clue?

    Hello blackdragon381
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Make sure these artists and tracks are NOT marked as part of a compilation in iTunes. To do this, highlight the tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose "Get Info". When the window pops up, head over to the Info tab and make sure there is NO tick mark next to "part of a compilation." Then sync the updated changes to your iPod and see if that helps.

  • Raptor or not to raptor

    getting quad and have been reading that 10,000 rpm raptor is the way folks are going for start up - i currently have a Maxtor SATA Ultra16 7200 300GB as a 2nd drive - so would it be worth it to scrap the stock drive?
    and if i do decide to go w/raptor my guess to clone would be to install raptor in 2nd HD slot and clone it using CCC then swap the 2 and install my Maxtor SATA Ultra16 7200 300GB in 2nd HD slot....
    any/all opinions welcome/appreciated
    ron

    I use a 74GB Raptor as a boot drive that houses all my applications and the OS. My second drive is for /Users directory and the files that go along with that. I can say that the Raptor helps boot-up time and seems to help my apps launch quicker, too. It may or may not assist Photoshop/Illustrator, but I guess it "could" if I bothered to be sure they were using that drive for scratch!
    I also find this setup great for data protection and recovery. I have an external drive that I back-up everything to - the User stuff several times a week and the Boot drive only when major changes take place (i.e. point releases, major application installs, etc.). Doing it this way keeps each area protected from the other in case of failure. Be sure to have an account setup that has a home ON the boot drive, though, just in case your User drive goes down.

    it deleted everything on its hard drive the other day randomly.
    So i need to put songs back onto it.
    I pluged it into my dock and put the USB connector in.
    It says i need to reformat, so I go OK.
    Then it says in order to reformat the ipod must be connected via FireWire. I click OK.
    i disconnect the device and the usb plug.
    I restart the ipod and plug in the firewire. once it booted I plugged it into the dock and now it just charges through the firewire and does not read it in itunes.
    help me. pouring water on it didn't work.

    First thing to do is reset the FW chip set on the mother board. Unfortunately, when you power down the computer there is always a bit of power still applied to the motherboard to keep things alive and this usually includes the ports to do stuff like detect when a device wants to wake up the computer. The downside of this is when a bus/port chipset goes into a weird state, locks up, etc., simply power cycling (shutdown & restart) the computer won't work.
    So first thing to try is resetting the chipset and to do this you have to power down the computer and completely unplug the computer from the wall power (unplug the power cord to your Mac). Also unplug everything from the Mac's ports (USB, FW, Ethernet, etc.) to make sure no parasitic power is still there to keep the chipset alive. Now let it sit for a minute (give those big power caps in there time to discharge). Now plug the power cord back in, plug in ONLY the keyboard and mouse, start up the Mac. Now plug in accessories/hard-drives and see if your FW ports and the drive work any better.
    Best of luck!

  • IPOD touch 32 gig not shaking to shuffle songs after 3.1 upgrade

    iPod Touch NOT shuffling songs after updating to 3.1 software update. How do you get it to shake to shuffle songs? I have tried and tried to no avail. I have checked settings and it says, "Shake to shuffle" is ON! What is up with this? Thanks!

    Hello:
    Yes, I have turned the iPod Touch on and off, I have tried to turn the feature on and off etc. It's very odd. I have even gone to YouTube to watch videos of other people shaking their iPod Touch to see if I am not doing it right. Well, I have shaken the daylights out of this unit and it won't go to another song what so ever.

  • ZEN 16 Gig not being recognized by comput

    Hey, I recieved my ZEN in the mail from Amazon today, installed the software like the instructions said, and plugged in my player, and that's when problems started. The thing is charging, so it's not the cable or anything of that sort, but updates fail to install on it, my computer doesn't recognize that it's there, so I can't add anything to my library, or register/install updates. I'm running Vista Home Premium on a cheap laptop HP setup. I had kept automatic updates on the down low, but figured that might have been a problem, so installed everything that would have been helpful. Didn't change anything to the predicament. The MP3 recovery tool, whenever it's run just says that I need to use XP/Vista to run it (even though I clearly am running Vista), and will not run.
    I skimmed through the FAQs and the first page or two, didn't see anything that detailed the same problem. I'm not sure if its my computer or my player, it might be the computer since it's had issues reading CDs or anything external lately. But it normally will end up working anyway with other things. Any help would be so appreciated.

    Yeah it's for XP, sorry I should've mentioned, though I imagine that there will be a one for Vista (try emailing the Customer Support people).
    It seems that it's just the luck of the draw, because I tried the ZEN on my girlfriend's laptop and it just worked, simple as chi
    ps.
    On a side issue, the firmware upgrade is worth installing once you can actually get it going. The main fix I've noticed is that the 'back' button now takes you back through the chronology of the folders as oppose to literally the last screen you were looking at (which can get somewhat frustrating when you are looking at the the album tracks and you want to go up a level to look at the albums, but it instead takes you back to the 'Now Playing' screen!)... anyway, I went off on a bit of a tangent there.
    Creative need to resolve these pitiful issues out - I can see less willed customer's just giving up and jumping back onto the Apple bandwagon. This is the first Creative product I've had (I was an iRi'ver man before), but I've been left a little deflated from my first impression, it seems like they've rushed the product out to get it in the shops before Christmas. Thankfully the product itself is good enough to pull me round.

  • Zen 20 gig not recogni

    When i connect my Zen 20 gig to the computer, it sees it as new hardware, even though it has been installed on my computer for over a year. If i put it in removable disk mode it is recognised. Then if i go into Zen Media Explorer it comes up with the message "The following devices will be switched to a different mode...". So i click switch, but it still cant find the player.

    :angry: **bleep**, i thought it might come to that. I'll wait a bit first, just to see if it sorts itself out.

  • Restore from back up does not recognize time machine drive

    My wife's hard drive in her 2010 MB Pro decided to give up the ghost a few days ago, so I purchased a new hard drive for her, booted from the Snow Leopard Install disc that came with the computer. However, after the installation is complete, when it gives the option to "Restore from backup", it will not locate the drive with the Time Machine Backups. The drive with the time machine backups is a dedicated 500 Gig Seagate External, that is set up on the network through our Airport Extreme. When I plug the drive directly into the computer, the drive doesn't even show up on the list. When I plug it back into the router it will recognize it as the Time Machine Disk, but will say "Connection Failed" when I try to connect with it. I have watched several youtube videos and read several blogs, and it looks so easy, simply click on "Restore From Backup" and bang! You're in business, but my drive and its backups won't even show up!
    After going through with the intitial set up, I can click on the Time Machine Icon, and choose to view other Time Machine disks, and it shows up there, and I can see about two (2) years worth of back ups; however, each time I boot from the install disks, it still doesn't show up in the "Restore from Backup" mode. Migration assistant shows the files, but when I migrated them, it says that I do not have permission to view the files. Also, when I enter the Time Machine it only shows a blue folder with "Macintosh HD" on it, and when I try to simply "Restore" that folder, it will start transfering files for about an hour (Maybe get up to 10-15 Gigs, and then it will say that it cannot replace or over right "Systems", and then stop the transfer.
    Thinking that some of the drives were from when we upgraded to Lion, I redownloaded Lion, and it is more of the same.
    I am in a really tight spot here, because I have been faithfully using Time Machine Backups, and was told that if a situation like this ever occurred I would be good to go with a new hard drive, or even a new computer. We have about 80 Gigs (not kidding) of family photos on the computer, and those are precious to my wife, so if nothing else I would just like to get those off of the drive.
    If anyone could provide me with any tips as to
    1) How to make Restore from Backup recognize the drive; or
    2) Migrate the files, but actually have permission to view them; or
    3) Any other way to Restore from Time Machine that I may be overlooking,
    I would greatly appreciate it.

    Well the first thing you should do is have a local professional image the TimeMachine drive to another drive, then you can install Data Rescue on your computer and use that to read the 1's and 0's of the imaged drive directly and recover any files out of the morrase that is TimeMachine.
    TimeMachine is a freaking eyecandy abortion, when it screws up, it screws up royally. However it's easy and better than nothing for computer newbies who tend to delete stuff by accident.
    Computer professionals prefer "imaging" or "cloning" which makes a exact duplicate of a drive in every detail and accessability. Carbon Copy Cloner is the choice software for that.
    If you not comptuer savvy or want to take a risk, then I'd advise you to get a local PC/Mac data recovery expert to recover your files, they are still on the drive and somewhat accessible, but if you fool around too much TM can delete them as it "copies" your present new boot drive. Then data recovery could cost thousands for platter dissection if the TM drive is overwritten/updated by TM software.
    So to be safe, get profesisonal data recovery help, and not the clueless types at the Genius bar.
    FYI, once a TM drive has been infected with Lion, you can't use it with SL.
    So it's best to stop and get a image, then decide to play with the image or allow the pro's to recover your files before they are really gone forever.
