RD120 RAID Hard dive problems
Hi,
I have a ThinkServer RD120 6447-19G, that I bought with 2 disks. But now I want to add 4 more disks. I just bought the new disks, but I have some detection problems with the two Western Digital WD1002FAEX drives.
The RAID controler detect them some times, but not always, I've tried to update the Firmware from the lenovo website but nothing change.
Does anybody have an idea?
Thansk in advance.
Regards.
Yann
Managed to sort. Split drive into 2 1 side for mac only and the other for mac or pc. Saved files accross alraedy and works a treat.
Dont know why it wouldn't work, just tried again and it did???
Cheers
Pete

External Hard Drive problems with iTunes and iPod
I recently purchased a 320 gig external hard drive for my computer, hoping in part to load my iTunes library onto it. Obviously I'd have much more room on disc than my actual iPod, so I was going to manually manage my music (an option I didn't have selected on my iPod before).
I followed all the online help topics which have all been helpful so far. I organized my music files, changed my directory, consolidated my library, and now everything is on the external hard drive and is working just fine.
The problem comes when I connect my iPod. iTunes barely even seems to recognize my iPod all of a sudden, saying that it has been corrupted and needs to be restored. When I try restoring it, nothing happens, and I can't seem to do a thing about it through iTunes. Of course, there's actually nothing wrong with the iPod at all, since it still works fine and plays music exactly the same as before. It simply won't update or do anything at all when hooked up to my computer.
I know this has something to do with the new hard drive, since everything was just fine a few hours ago, I just can't figure out why I can't get my iPod to sync all of a sudden. Like I said, my iPod is working fine otherwise, iTunes is playing music through the external hard drive without any issues, and I haven't touched any files other than music files (I haven't even deleted them off my original hard drive yet, so all the original fines remain unchanged, even though I switched the directory).
To the best of my knowledge, all my software is up to date, and the iPod is a 30 gig photo. Any ideas?
pc Windows XPYeah, I gave the new drive the letter Z, so there shouldn't have been any conflicts there. I also tried your other suggestion, and while the computer recognized my external hard drive, it didn't seem to make any difference once I plugged in the iPod again.
I've been wrestling with this for days now. I've tried changing the drive letters for both the external hard drive and my iPod several times (but no matter what, the iPod always seems to take F when it's unplugged and then plugged back in). I've tried restoring the iPod on multiple occasions. I've tried reinstalling all my USB drivers. I've consolidated my music library on several occasions (I now have two identical libraries on my external hard drive), yet annoyingly, iTunes seems to keep switching file paths away from the external hard drive and back to their original locations on the C drive. I'm trying to free up internal hard drive space, not house 30 gigs of media on it. That's what this new external hard drive is for.
Somehow, I was able to get them both to be recognized at the same time, but it never lasts long. I'll start iTunes with the external hard drive disconnected, plug in my iPod, wait for the iPod screen to come up in iTunes, then plug my external hard drive back in. Then, I can miraculously start to transfer music back onto my iPod, but iTunes doesn't seem to want this to happen for some reason, and will usually cut off the transfer. So far I've managed to put three whole songs on my iPod.
So now I'm trying to do two things. One, the same as before, get my computer and iTunes to recognize both my iPod and my external hard dive at the same time. And two, get iTunes to stop changing the file paths back to the C drive. These files are already on my external hard drive and don't need to change.
(As a side note, I should comment on how helpful people are on this discussion board. The Apple representitives I called on several occasions seemed totally unwilling to help, acting more like pushy salesmen than anything, while people here seem to be much more friendly and knowledgeable. Just thought it needed to be said.)

Boot from external raid hard drive in new iMac 2012
Just owned iMac 2012 21.5", but seemed internal drive is pretty slower than my previous iMac 2008. Planning to buy external raid hard drive like Lacie 2big Raid or G-Tech 4tb G-Raid (Thunderbolt) to be my main boot drive instead of internal one. Would this would solve the problem?
If your new Late 2012 21.5" iMac was Not ordered with the Fusion Drive option, then it came with a much slower standard 5400 rpm hard drive. Your 2008 iMac had a 7200 rpm hard drive. That's why this one is slower.

System freezes due to hard disk problems only on Linux (not windows)
Intro/context:
Recently i've bought (about 2 months) a new laptop, a Lenovo G50-70, which came with Windows 8.1. As i had no interest on that OS, i formatted the disk and installed only Arch Linux. During that time i experienced system freezes which i had no idea why they were happening. As time went by, i found disk errors on system logs related to hard drive. I searched those errors and almost everything i found was that my hard drive had problems, so i decided to use my warranty. But first, i installed the original OS back again. And after using it a couple of weeks, i didn't experiencie any problem with my hard drive (on Linux it was really frequent). Now i've installed Arch Linux back, along with original Windows 8.1, having dual boot. There is no disk problem when using Windows, but when on Arch, i have the same errors and problems i used to have. So i assume it may be related to kernel or some confniguration issue.
I also haven't noticed any relation between system freezes and system use. I mean, it can happen either under light or heavy use.
tl dr: system freezes randomly for some minutes when using linux due to hard drive problems. The problem doesn't happen on windows.
What i've done so far:
The first period i was on Arch, i run smart (long and short), fsck, and hdparm tests. And nothing (no errors). Searched for bad blocks, and nothing. When back on windows, i also run tests on hdd and found no problems, except some sector reallocation not-that-nice indicators. These problems occured at the end of the first arch installation period. But still i currently experience no problem on windows.
I've also tried setting libata: noncq, 3.0G, noacpi, noapic kernel parameters, and had no result.
Changed BIOS setting from AHCI to Legacy, and no result. Also updated BIOS and no result.
I found no firmware update for this hard drive.
So i don't know what other thing i can try. I want to emphasize that there is no problem, no freezing, when running Windows, so i don't think it's a hard drive issue.
Info:
Hard drive is a Toshiba 2.5" HDD MQ01ABD100 5400 rpm.
Some logs i've recollected all this time:

Last edited by jesu (2015-05-03 19:42:53)Something i'd noticed both the first time i was on arch and now i've reinstalled it, was that at first i didn't have this problem. I mean, when Arch was just installed. While i was installing and setting up everything.
Now, i'm not 100% sure about this, but i think problems began when using my current user. Disk is partitioned the following way:
$ lsblk
NAME MAJ:MIN RM SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda 8:0 0 931,5G 0 disk
├─sda1 8:1 0 1000M 0 part
├─sda2 8:2 0 260M 0 part /boot
├─sda3 8:3 0 207,7G 0 part
├─sda4 8:4 0 25G 0 part
├─sda5 8:5 0 14,8G 0 part
├─sda6 8:6 0 80,5G 0 part /
├─sda8 8:8 0 599G 0 part /home
└─sda9 8:9 0 2G 0 part [SWAP]
So, i believe problems, for some reason, are related (and were related), both before and now, to the /home partition, /dev/sda8 in this ocassion.
Because of this, i booted into systemd rescue mode, like root, rw, and unmounted /home partition. Despite root-only limitations, i used the system for a couple of hours, started lxqt, browsed the web mainly, and experienced no problem at all.
Now i booted normally, with my regular user, and these problems are experienced just like before (and almost instantly, like 3 or 5 minutes after starting system use).
dmesg this time showed a some different log, though it's not the first time i see this. I just didn't saved that kind of log before.

I am sure it is due to my error or mistake but I received a new Maxtor III touch as a replacement for my failed drive yesterday after connecting it I went to Maxtor one touch manager software that came with it and the drive did not appear in the window so then I opened disk utilities and copied my notebook hard drive over to the Maxtor ran permissions on each drive and then closed down my system ! today when I opened my Powerbook with the Maxtor on it gave me the grey screen 2x so I disconnected the Maxtor ran permissions again and everything was fine until i power up the Maxtor and Grey screen again! Help How do I fix this?????Maxtor one touch III firewire 800 its connected to my Titanium G$ Powerbook I am beginning to think its just another drive failure

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?
Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem. -
External Hard Diver Fromatting Preventing use with USB Airport Extreme ?
I am putting together a network with my new MacBook and Airport Extreme and old XP Windows desktop and Seagate USB external hard dive. The drive is not recognized over the network from the Mac, butis available when the USB is plugged directly into the Mac. I called apple support and was told that this is because the Seagate drive is Windows NT formatted which is not recognized by the Airport Extreme, and that I will have to reformat the drive to a DOS or Mac format for this to work. I just want to see if anyone has any other ideas before reformating. Thanks.
If you ever plan to read the drive directly plugged into the PC, you'll need to format it FAT/FAT32. If you ever plan to use it for Time Machine it needs to be formatted HFS+. You can re-format later (data removed) if you wish.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier, and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to." I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

Snow Leopard and hard disk problems?
This may just be a coincidence but I and several colleagues have had problems with Macs over the past week.
a) My Macbook Pro lost the date/time and wi-fi settings. Next reboot wi-fi was still lost. Now seems OK again.
b) At times my 24" iMac is running slowly when nothing seems to be hogging resources (eg just copying a 3Gb file to an external hard disk). Time Machine also seems to be taking much longer to backup.
c) Hard disk failed on a Macbook Pro of a colleague
d) iMac 27" seems to be having severe hard disk problems for another colleague - Applecare will be visiting after trying numerous fixes over the phone.
On my machines I have run the Cocktail suite (permissions, scripts and caches) Disk Utility Repair and Techtools Deluxe (no reported problems) but the iMac problems seem to creep back.
It is like a disk caching process (or Spotlight?) is not cleaning up properly and is clagging up the system. Or maybe a hard disk is close to failure but the problem is not severe enough to show up in diagnostics? In any case I am diligent about backing up at the moment!Or maybe a hard disk is close to failure but the problem is not severe enough to show up in diagnostics?

I appear to be having hard disk problems and would appreciate any suggestions as to how to determine what the cause might be.
It began when the MBA late 2008 with 10.6.6 would not startup, just an endless cog wheel. Using the installation disk I found that the disk repair utility identified that the MBA hard disk was corrupted and the repair utility couldn't repair it.
I deleted the contents of the MBA disk verified the disk and reinstalled the system software and all my other programmes and files.
(This took about a day as I did not have a backup of the MBA but I did have the files and programmes on other disks etc. (Never again - I bought an external hard disk so that I could have a copy of the installation disc on it and also a backup of the MBA and all the system software updates.)
All has been well for a couple of weeks until today when the MBA would not start. For the first time in my life I saw a message covering most of the screen saying "Will not start up - turn the computer off by holding down the power button until it turns off and then restart the computer" or something similar.
Needless to say the computer refused to restart and again after looking at the MBA disk with the disk utility it required repair and again the repair utility said it could not complete the repair.
Wiped the MBA disk again and reinstalled and restored the programmes and files. (so much easier with the install image and backup on an external hard disk and Time Machine is tremendous).
So the MBA appears to be back to normal.
But will it stop again? It the hard disk flawed or fundamentally corrupted?
I have verified the hard disk with the apple disk utility and also with onyx. Both say it appears to be ok.
Any suggestions as to how to work out what if anything is going wrong would be much appreciated.When I said verified I meant that I ran the verify and repair command in the apple disk utility and also ran both the smart status in onyx and additionally the verification command in onyx.
Just to clarify the second occasion that the MBA would not startup falls under the category of “You need to restart your computer” which indicates a indicates a “kernel panic”. -
Windows has detected a hard disk problem
I just got a warning from windows that I have a hard disk problem then Toshiba Utility notifies me with the following:
Disk0
Your HDD has the SMART Predict Failure function which monitors the HDD operating status. Your HDD is experiencing a problem and SMART monitoring software predicts that the HDD will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends you create a back-up for your HDD data. Then contact an authorized service provider in order to check your drive and purchase a new replacement drive if necessary.
I have never had problems with a hard disk, all I know is that I should get a backup drive as soon as possible. After I back up my files and everything....what is the next step? Take it to a repair man to fix, get a new harddrive, contact about warranty, what exactly do you do with this kind of situation? Is it fixable?
System Details:
Toshiba Satellite L675D-S7052
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 BitIf you're computer is under warranty, you should contact customer support at (800) 457-7777. The hard drive will need to be replaced.

Window detected a hard disk Problem on my Satellite L505-S5988
Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-S5988 with window 7 Home Premium 09 Service pack 1. It is 2+ years old and my hard drive is Toshiba MK3263GSX 287GB. Lately, I got a window warning message as “ Windows detected a hard disk Problem. Back up your files immediately to prevent information loss, and then contact the computer manufacturer to determine if you need to repair or place the disk….. The following hard disks are reporting failure: Disk Name: TOSHIBA MK3263GSX Volume: C:\ “.
Since then, I have imaged my laptop and run malware/spyware softwares, and it looks like my computer is clean. The laptop device manager said my hard drive is working properly. However the warning keeps pops up. I opened Administrative Event Viewer and found the below warning:
“Log Name: System, Source: Disk, Event ID: 52.
The driver has detected that device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 has predicted that it will fail. Immediately back up your data and replace your hard disk drive. A failure may be imminent.”

D000000000000000000000000
Besides this warning, there are also other errors and warnings back to years ago, such as AFS failed to load, print service… Despite all these errors and warnings, my laptop seems to be running OK. I was not prevented from doing anything that I usually do.
Questions:
Is there a tool I can run to verify that my hard drive is truly bad?
Can any tool further identify where?
Can it be repaired? Reformat? Or I have to replace with a new one?
What options I have if I have to replace with a new one?
What is average cost of it?
Any help will be highly appreciated.Satellite L505-S5988

That's good enough for me. I would replace the disk.

Recurring iMac G5 Hard Disk problem and worthless AppleCare
Hello all! I have a recurring iMac G5 2Ghz (20-inch) Hard Disk problem.
I bought my parents, aged 52 and 55, an iMac last summer. Hoping this would be their solution to a hassle free and easy computer environment, since I would leave for China for about 1 year. But last month the hard drisk crashed and could not be fixed.
At first the start up speed slowed down, then the start up process would continue infinitely, then the computer just booted into a screen with a question mark.
I have a AppleCare Protection Plan (APP) and so I called the Help Desk and they put me in touch with a Service Center (Sittard, the Netherlands). Now I thought, since I live within the proper range of at least 3 service centers (Heerlen, the Netherlands), I could get on-site support (as stated in APP), unfortunately for unknown reasons, my parents had to drag the 20 inch monster to the service center.
Normally the repair should take 2 days, but instead it took 10 working days. My dad naturally asked, if they could restore the data on the disk. This was only possible if we paid about 2000 euro. So, no deal!
After picking the iMac up again, the computer booted into the Mac OS installation. This again surprised me, since according to the APP they should at least put some effort into restoring the applications. Not even iLife was pre-installed, which was of course on the computer when we bought it. Next to that the Service Center's Mac OS installation disc was still in the drive; how careless!
They were quite sad about the lost data, but accepted it, as we all know that these things can happen to electronics. BUT today, the same problem recurred! First the start up process slowed down and now (again) it tries to start up infinitely.
The hard disk is brand new (1 month), no strange programs and no abnormal use. According to the diagnostic tools the file structure is damaged, but it seems to keep getting worse. The Apple Help Desk guy was even surprised this happened to a brand new disk and installation. He recommended reinstalling the system.
But, I'm not happy with this solution! A hard disk breaking down, is one thing. But the same problem recurring 1 month later made a couple of alarm bells go off. I'm hoping Apple will consider replacing this machine from **** with a brand new iMac. Since my parents are scared ********, that whatever document they type today might disappear again tomorrow. This is not a comfortable computing experience.
By the way: the computer has only basic software: Microsoft Office, Skype and iLife and my parents only use those programs, surf the net and send email.
Any of you had a similar bad experience with the iMac's hard disk, AppleCare or any of Apple's Service Centers? Or does anyone know how to reach Apple by email?
iMac 20 G5 2Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.6)I had a similar problem with my 20" 2Ghz iMac.
After replacing the HD and the next 'going bad' the tech realized there was a different problem.
After discussing it, and the distance to an authorized repairer he offered on-site repair.
After a lengthy parts delay I was offered an upgrade to a iSight iMac.
The tech narrowed my problem down to a faulty logic board before offering a replacement. He could have been wrong but it seemed logical with all of the same symptoms.
Press your AppleCare to replace this computer. They are going to try and repair but insist if this fix doesn't work you want a new iMac.
I hope everything works out for you.
Edit: There is a great program that Apple techs recommend called DiskWarrior. It did not fix my problem but it allowed me to get my most important info off of the computer before it went to computer heaven. Might not work for all but it works well for me as I still use it today. -
Please Help! Hard drive problem "Mystery Gb Space"
I recently ripped a lot of CD’s into itunes, so much that I filled up my hard drive. I cleaned up my music by deleting music I didn’t need. I also burned a majority of music to CD so that I could delete it off my hard drive. I have a 80gb hard dive; I freed up 20gb of space. I did not secure the trash when I deleted the music files. So for a while I had 20gb of free space, but a few days ago I looked at my istat pro and noticed that I now have a full hard drive again. I have not ripped any CD’s, downloaded any thing, or done any thing that would take up this much space. I contacted apple but all they would help me with was buying a plan. The only advice I was given was to secure trash. I would like to know where this “extra gb space” came from.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)Get "Disk Inventory X" (it is freeware.)
http://www.derlien.com/
It searches your hard drive and gives you a visual representation of all of your hard drive space usage. It seperates each file type into groups of colors etc so you can see where you have 15gb of mp3's and such. You can use it to open finder windows to those files. Just be careful not to delete any system files with it!
Also, you can save yourself about 7gigs right off the bat by deleting all of the sound files your computer comes with for garageband (unless you use garageband.) I know I don't, and I couldnt believe they ship these machines packed with almost 7 gigs of sound files that you may or may not use...
