Reformating Mac Drive for use in PC

So, it seems that I have a computer voodoo curse out there. My ibook G4 screen died on me last night (black screen, like it's on the dimmest setting)and from the postings here, it looks like it'll cost me $600 to get the LCD replaced on my 34 month old computer.
So what I want to do is remove my G4 harddrive and insert it in my old PC laptop in which the ONLY issue is a dead harddrive.
PROBLEM:
How do I completely wipe out everything on my G4 hardrive? I need it to be clean as a whistle as I will be using my bootable XP CD to start up my Toshiba.
I'm poor, (keep on spending money on computers that die on me) so I prefer not to drop it off at a shop.
Thanks for suggestions.
BTW, not sure if this is the right forum. There is no forum for "how to wipe you harddrive clean"

How do I completely wipe out everything on my G4 hardrive? I need it to be clean as a whistle as I will be using my bootable XP CD to start up my Toshiba.
You ought be able to do this directly in the PC laptop (providing, of course, that the hard drive is of the correct type for that computer). In such a case, an appropriate PC boot floppy (or CD) that contains a utility to securely erase a hard disk would be used first. You may want to try a Google search for something like "PC erase hard drive" to begin with, or have a look at a site such as download.com.

  • Partitioning an External 320gb drive for use with Time Machine and...

    I want to be able to use my Western Digital 320GB external drive for use with Time Machine and to use as extra storage space on both my Mac and when I boot into Windows Vista.
    Is this possible?
    I was playing around in Disk Utility and would I partition the part I want to use for Time Machine with the Mac OS Journaled, and whatever I want as space for windows, use a MS - DOS format?
    Has anyone done this before?
    Cheers-

    Unless you are using 64 bit version of MSWindows (64 bit XP/Vista), it won't be able to handle a disk with GUID partition table (GPT). Disks with Apple Partition Map (APM) or GUID partition table are the only ones that Time Machine will work with (not MBR disks). Note also that the MBR/APM/GPT are at the DISK level and not the partition level, so don't mix the format with partitioning scheme. Time Machine disks are meant to live in the Mac universe (for now, anyway) and sharing with the MSWindows 32-bit universe is not possible.

  • Mac Driver for Nokia 6255

    Well, with a NO PC card slot on my new MacBook, I was wondering how do I connect to the net using my Nokia 6255(CDMA conenction) via the the Nokia DKU-2 USB cable. Where can I get the drivers for this & how do I go about it

    From what I see there is no Mac Driver for this phone and usb cable yet:
    http://www.europe.nokia.com/nokia/0,8764,81914,00.html.
    It is only provided driver for windows. And if you have xp installed from boot camp in your MacBook, you could use that driver on XP side.
    That phone is not sold in us market yet as stated on nokia site:
    The Nokia 6255 phone has not been authorized as required by the rules of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC"). This device may not be sold or leased or offered for sale or lease, until FCC authorization is obtained.
    so that could be why there is no driver for Mac yet.

  • Internal hard drive for use as scratch disk

    Am running OS 10.4.11 on a dual core 2.3 Ghz PowerPC G5. Want to install a 2nd internal hard drive for use as a scratch disk w/ FCP and for my media files, etc. Given that I can only accomodate an SATA I drive w/ 150 Gbps transfer rate what might some decent choices be for a 500 Gb to 1 TB drive suited for video (and a PowerPC G5)? I'll also be adding an external drive for backup if anyone has any suggestions.

    Thanks for the recommendations. I had been looking at the Hitachi CinemaStar series but you have to reset the drive to SATA 1 for use w/ a G5 PowerMac. Resetting the drive, according to Hitachi, can only be done on a PC which I don't have access to. And I think that holds true for all their drives that are not strictly SATA 1.

  • Artwork doesn't transfer to my Kingston flash drive for use in my car.

    I am transferring songs to my Kingston flash drive for use in my car.  When I copy them from my folder and drop them in the flash drive the album artwork doesn't transfer.  I deleted the artwork from the songs of 1 CD, saved a jpg to my desktop and added to each individual song which works but would be crazy to do for all of the songs.  I am running ITunes 11.05. 
    I've looked in the communities but couldn't find anything about this.  Is there a way to revert back to ITunes 10?

    Placing your iPhone in the toilet was the correct thing to do but you should have purchased an android phone instead. That would have solved these issues. :-)

  • Need mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter TL-WN7200ND

    i need Mac driver for TP-Link Wireless USB adapter model no TL-WN7200ND

    First of all, TP-Link does not provide OS X drivers for that adapter. However, there are other sources that have drivers like this one. It is not official and it may fail, but it has been tested by other users and it works correctly.

    Has anyone found a workaround driver for using a Xerox WorkCentre PE220 Series printer with Mountain Lion?

    John -
    My "Use" menu only contains Apple print drivers.  And Canon drivers, from the location I set this machine up.  None for my home use....which is a Xerox machine.
    Not being on the menu, I don't know how to acquire this generic driver. 
    Any further helpful hints?
    I appreciate your thoughts and help.

  • I recently purchase macbook air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my Seagate external backup plus hard drive for time machine back up. How to partition my 1TB Seagate back up plus hard drive for use with mac and windows pc?

    Hi All,
    I recently purchased 13" Macbook Air with OS 10.10.2. I want to use my 1TB Seagate backup plus external hard drive as time machine and my windows 7 pc. Please suggest a method. Thanks in advance for your reply.

    I strongly recommend having an external drive dedicated solely for TimeMachine. You could partition the drive but if something goes wrong you risk losing the data on both partitions. Should you decide to go ahead with splitting the drive for two different uses you’ll need to partition the drive either using the Mac’s built in Disk Utility program or Windows utility. I believe the built in Windows disk utility program will destroy the current partition and erase the data that’s on it - I use a third party Windows disk utility program for partitioning and it allows for non-destructive partitioning but warns to back up data first just in case. Apple’s Disk Utility can do non-destructive partitions but I don’t recall every trying to do a non-destructive partition on a disk originally formatted for Windows using it. Again - back up that data just in case.
    Finally, your TimeMachine drive should be at least 1.5 times (I prefer 2 times) the size of the data you expect to be backing up a year or two from now.  In other words, if you currently are using 50GB of your computer’s drive but expect to begin purchasing Mac software to replace software on your Windows computer and if you expect to be putting photos, music, and other data on it you might expect that two years from now you’ll have 100GB of stuff on the drive. So a 200GB partition is the smallest size you’d want.  TM’s backup scheme keeps multiple copies of data as it changes so the extra room is important for this scheme.

  • FORMAT HARD DRIVE FOR USE ON MAC AND WINDOWS

    I'm going to start working on scanning a lot of old family photos and getting them put on an external hard drive for my parents.  I'd also like to eventually put old VHS family home movies on the hard drive as well.  However, I'm not sure what to do about the hard drive.  I know if I format it to be compatible with my Mac it probably won't be compatible with their PC.  I read about the FAT32 option but I saw something about a file not working if it's over 4 GB in size.  I'm thinking maybe some of those home movies will be larger than 4GB.  I also saw an exFAT option.  If I go with that will I be able to scan the photos on my Mac, get the home videos converted and put it all on the hard drive will all of it be visible and usable on their Windows PC?
    Thanks for your help!

    matahari_1946,
    if you’re not yet backing up your Mac’s internal hard disk, I’d recommend first that you purchase an external hard drive for yourself for exclusive use as a Time Machine backup destination; that way, in case of a disk problem, you won’t permanently lose all of your scanned photos and imported movies.
    A 4 GB file limit does apply to FAT32 filesystems. If their version of Windows allows, the external disk which will hold those photos and videos should be formatted as NTFS from their PC, so that they can watch video files over 4 GB. (It’s unlikely that an individual photo file would be over 4 GB.) However, OS X doesn’t come out of the box with NTFS support. The exFAT filesystem is able to hold files over 4 GB, and it is supported by Mac OS X 10.6.5 and newer, but it’s optimized for flash drives; it’s more “fragile” on hard disks than other filesystems are. As a workaround, you could format a flash drive to have exFAT, copy videos over 4 GB onto the flash drive, and then use your parents’ PC to copy the videos from the flash drive to their NTFS external disk. Other alternatives would be to look for third-party software for OS X which supports reading from and writing to NTFS disks, or third-party software for Windows which supports reading from and writing to journaled HFS+ (the default OS X filesystem) disks.

  • Question about Formatting Buffalo USB 1TB external drive for use with Mac Book Pro Mountain Lion HD

    Hi there, Have Mountain Lion HD operating system (not sure if it is 10.8 or 10.8.1. or 10.8.2)  and have a Buffalo USB 3.0 1TB hard drive. When go to utilities to try and format with Mac OS extended, following 3 files show. DriveNavi. exe, Slm.exe and Mac. The option to left click and erase menu is not there. Or at least not as shown in all the help videos.
    It is USB connection so will take ages but want to use drive to store video footage and also partition to back up Time Machine. ( travelling in South America and no other Ext Drive option available too buy) how much space should i assign to Time Machine when partitioning?  Is there anything else i need to think about? as new to formatting. Any thing else i can do to make process of transfering footage to Buffalo quicker?
    Final question is if it is finally reformatted am i going to have to spend so long accessing footage from hard drive when back home and editing that it really is not worth if, and i should just write this off as an inappropriate purchase, and try and buy more memory cards and not bother with transfering/storing? Thanks in advance for time spent trying to assist.

    Use Apple's Disk Utility in the Applications/Utilities folder to format the drive.
    The programs on the drive given to you by the manufacturer is likely backup software (or malware) and essentially worthless, it will be wiped when you format the drive.
    I do NOT advise you partition that drive for TimeMachine, rather I advise you not to use TimeMachine at all for your purposes because TM is just a backup, not a bootable drive.
    Rather do this.
    Get another hard drive that is equal to or slightly larger than your boot drive.
    Format the drive in Disk Utiltiy > 1 Partition, option: GUID, Format: OS X Extended journaled, click Erase and move the slider one spot to the right and click Erase. This will take some time as it's going to map off any failing sectors it can BEFORE you lay data on the drive corrupting it.
    Next, pay for and download Carbon Copy Cloner, use the default settings and simply clone internal drive to the external drive. this will also take some time the first time.
    Next use Disk Utility to Repair Permisisons on both drive. Now reboot the machine and hold the option key down, you can select the external drive clone to boot from!!
    You can update the clone the same way by using CCC, but it doesn't take as long, only copying changes.
    This is better than TimeMachine as a bootable clone is bootable in case your internal drive fails to boot the machine.
    Use the first drive for storage and be very gentle with it while it running, like you should do for all hard drives as they are subjective to shock damage.
    The objective with the clone drive is you keep it safe, and not carting it around where it can be more subjective to damage like the other drive will be.
    Remmeber you need 2 forms of hardware backup at all times.

  • Best hard drive for use with Time Machine

    Hi,
    Has anyone determined what the best external hard drive is for use with Time Machine? Is there a particular one that works exceptionally well with Time Machine, or is it much of a muchness?
    I'm looking for a Firewire 400 & Firewire 800 drive that STAYS ON all the time, and doesn't automatically spin down or spin up like the rubbish WD My Book drives do.

    I can't tell you if it is the "best" hard drive for you to use with TM, but I'm quite happy with the 500 GB Buffalo Technology DriveStation Combo TurboUSB I bought recently. It is quiet, quite inexpensive for the capacity (I paid about $120 for one on sale at Fry's), & completely compatible with OS X & TM.
    Best of all for me, it automatically powers down when my iMac sleeps. It also spins down after a time if the Mac's Energy Saver preference "Put hard disk(s) to sleep when possible" is checked; otherwise it remains spun up until the Mac is put to sleep or switched off.
    It comes with "Turbo" USB & Memeo "AutoBackup" software, neither of which I installed. (The box didn't claim these extras came in a Mac version but both Mac & Windows versions were included on the CD.) Out-of-the-box, I reformatted the drive with the Apple Partition Map scheme & two partitions, a 160 GB one for cloning my internal drive & the rest for TM. The drive works perfectly for both uses & seems quite fast, as one would expect from a 7200 rpm SATA drive.

  • Mac driver for OS 10.6.8

    I just purchased HP Envy 7640 printer, and there are no drivers listed for MAC OS 10.6.8.I can  not upgrade the OS, as sever critical programs will not run on Mac OS 10.10. what recourse do I have?

    Hi,
    I afraid you will have to upgrade the OS for the printer to fully work ir get an older model which is compatible with Snow Leopard, the printer is only supported on Lion or newer OS versions as you may find listed below (Under the System Requirements section):
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c04353671&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=6617269&tas...
    As a workaround you may use an alternative driver, but that will only allow printing from the Mac.
    For that download and install the following package:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1770?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Next connect the pritner to the Mac or to the same network.
    Open System Preferences > Print & Fax and click the plus sign.
    select the listed 7640 printer and click the Print Using drop down and then on Select Printer Software.
    Select the HP ENVY 5530 from the list and add the printer, that should allow printing to the 7640 printer.
    Basic scanning can be done via the EWS interface by opening the Scan tab, that only applicable for a network connection and only provide basic scan options.
    It can be reached by typing the printer IP address into Safari.
    Hope that may help,
