Replaced Internal HD....

Hey guys,
Previously i had a 120g HD which had my Mac side and i installed boot camp and gave it a 20G partition. Since then, i bought a new internal HD. I cloned my HD using SuperDuper and now my new HD is 1 partition of entirely Mac. Instead of reinstalling Boot Camp and having to replace everything again. I would like to split up my new internal HD and put my old boot camp partition inside there. I just put my old internal HD in via USB and i have created a disk image of it onto my desktop. Now im stuck on where to go.
Do i use disk utility, and split up my current HD into 2 again, then somehow paste my boot camp disk image onto that drive? Thanks for any help.

You know,
The more I think about this, it seems as though the real problem is probably in my Bootcamp Windows XP installation. I'm trying to increase my previous 10GB partition to a new one(on the new internal drive) of 32 GB. I have read that Windows XP can only format a FAT-32 drive of up to 32 GB. I'm wondering if I ever got a bootable Windows installation?
I'm trying it again - watching this part carefully...
When I get to the Win XP setup screen asking about format, I get the following choices (only):
Format the partition using the NTFS file system (Quick)
Format the partition using the NTFS file system
Convert the partition to NTFS
Leave the current file system intact (no changes)
I then decided to try a 30 GB Bootcamp partition, and see if this screen changes..
Yup, this time I have the FAT32 format options, both Quick and other. I did not choose quick, and formatted with FAT32.
Then, proceeded with Win XP installation thru a reboot, verifying that it would boot successfully into windows. At that point (mid way thru final windows install), I interrupted it and rebooted to OS X, then followed the above instructions.
Again, once complete, I got a "non-system disk" error.
Help!

  • Looking for replacement internal hard drives for a MacPro

    Looking to replace internal hard drives in a MacPro.  Was thinking about 3TB.  Any recommendations?

    Look in System Report for the link speed available. (Mine says 3 Gigabit.) Get drives with at least that speed; going beyond that won't get you any more performance.

  • How can I get a replacement internal DVD drive?

    I bought a refurbished Toshiba P55t-A5202 a few months ago.  The internal DVD drive seems to be failing and doesn't always recognize dual-layer DVDs.  Some DVDs recognize and play fine.  Others aren't even detected and the system thinks no disk is in the drive.  I would like to replace the opical drive.  I am comforable opening up the sytem and swapping the drive, I just don't know where to buy the replacement part.  
    Does anyone know who to contact about getting a replacement internal DVD drive?

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Which exact iBook model is it?
    You can choose from this list:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/ibook/index-ibook.html
    Apple may not have the replacement discs at this point, but it's worth a try. You could try giving Apple a call and see if they have them available. If they do, they will send them to you for a fee.
    You will need the serial number of the iBook when you call.

    Good luck.

    You've already done the two things I would have suggested.
    If your Mini has an internal battery then I assume it's a G4. That means you've gotten a lot of good years of service from it, and it's old enough that it's certainly not covered by AppleCare anymore, and it's probably not worth spending money trying to repair it.
    You should be able to tear it apart using instructions from ifixit.com to get the hard drive out, and then put the hard drive into a nice USB or FireWire enclosure (I like the ones from Other World Computing, macsales.com) so you can transfer your data to a replacement Mac.
    I hope someone has another suggestion for you.

  • NEED Replacement Internal Keyboard! Clamshell 366 MHZ

    Can somebody tell me all the information I need to find the correct Keyboard?
    I collect vintage computers. This one is a dark blue Fire Wire Clamshell G3 iBook 366 mhz M7721LL/A M6411*
    that needs a replacement internal keyboard. PowerBook Medic is out of stock. I have sent an email request to them. There are many keyboards on eBay but I need the Correct one.
    * = M6411 is not confirmed. I could not find any "M6411" in the Apple System Profiler nor any where outside on the iBook itself. But I keep getting pictures of the same Clamshell iBook when I type iBook. M6411 in the search results.
    The Keyboard Type in Apple System Profiler is "iBook Keyboard with Inverted-T".
    and I need to double check ... Is this the Correct part number? 922-4350

    Keyboards from all original iBooks (1.Generation) Tangerine, Blueberry, Indigo, Graphite and Keylime  are interchangeable. If you collect iBooks, you may want to have one with indigo (dark blue) highlights.
    Some years ago, i wrote a list of spare part sellers. If you are not able to find it in USA, i may ship one from Germany to you.

    +I have created and tried this with three different accounts, but they all fail to enable Home Sharing.+
    I'm confused why you're trying 3 different accounts. Try it using the same single account and two different PCs. Does that work? Can you download and play a free song of the week using one of those itunes store accounts?
    Going forward, I hope you decide to only use one account. They can never be combined later. You'll have to forever remember the login credentials of each itunes store account if you move stuff to a new PC.
    I tried 3 accounts, because none of them work for Apple TV. Yet, all three of them DO access the Apple store and forums and music and everything on this website.
    Did I say anything about combining these accounts? Not even remotely helpful.
    It's the same for me, as it is for rlongfield22(above).
    I am absolutely serious: Apple is the most difficult, ridiculous, illogical interface I have EVER seen in 18 years of computing and using the internet. I use both MACs and PCs daily, so I can easily compare the experiences on many levels.
    I know what I am doing on a PC and I rarely make common errors. I know my Apple ID and pass by heart(all three of them). I know my PC and network name by heart. My network and PC have the passwords blank.
    So,...I should be able to have my Apple TV work, by simply activating Home Sharing on this network(done that successfully) and then activating it on my Apple TV(doesn't work).
    I have tried activating Apple TV network first and tried activating Home Sharing first, but neither one works. When I plug in the Apple TV, the blue light flashes and then stays on.

  • How to replace internal Hard Drive on iMac G5 iSight 1.9GHz

    Hello everyone,
    The internal hard drive of my iMac has died (apparently), and is no longer detectable by Disk Utility. It occasionally makes a "click/tick" sound so I know it's still spinning inside. I currently am booted up from an external firewire drive with Tiger (10.4.11) installed.
    I have been attempting to locate a service manual that shows how to open the case to my 17" iMac G5 iSight 1.9GHz model. I have found a service manual from the previous generation iMac G5 NON-iSight models, but the bottom access panel and screw locations differ from my iMac.
    I have purchased an internal 500GB Seagate 7200.12 replacement drive.
    Does anyone know where I can find a manual with pictures showing how to disassemble this particular iMac so I can install the new hard drive?

    Ticking is a death rattle for drives and below are some helpful sites with pix.

    The reason Apple don't publish pix of the insides of the iSight is that they say that there are no user serviceable parts.

  • Replaced internal hard drive, time machine doesn't recognize as same volume

    Howdy,
    The hard drive (call it drive "X") on my iMac (one of the 2005 models) was dying so I had it replaced. I rebuilt the new drive (drive "Y") from my most recent time machine backup (from external drive "A"). I am now having problems with one of my backup devices, in that time machine doesn't recognize that the new disk is conceptually the same thing that had been backed up before (same volume name).
    More details... I rotate my backups monthly through three external drives (I store the most recent offsite). After the disk replacement and restore process, I continued to use that backup drive (drive "A") without noticing any problem. Then it came time to rotate my external drives, and time machine doesn't find enough space on the next backup drive (drive "B"). Presumably this is because it doesn't realize that the drive I am backing up ("Y") is a copy of the drive that had previously been backed up on "B" ("X").
    Is there any way to convince it they are the same? Or am I in the same boat as this poster:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2770362&tstart=0
    Basically I just want to verify that I am in that same boat before I remove old backup files on "B". If I do decide I need to remove those, are the instructions linked in thread 2770362 correct, or are there better ones?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bob H

    Actually, the backup I deleted above was the backup for the new internal drive. Apparently TM had created the (incomplete) backup during the failed attempt that ran out of space on the backup device. Since the new internal drive had the same name as the old internal drive, I didn't initially realize that's what I was deleting. Not that deleting it causes any harm, but it didn't address the original problem of freeing up space on the backup device.
    Not to worry though. I've figured out how to get at the backups for the old internal drive, and am in the process of deleting those. I was about to follow the instructions in your troubleshooting items E3 and E2, but upon attempting to enter time machine I stumbled into the right place. Since I had previously told TM to do no backups (because there was still not enough disk space), and since I'd left the backup device connected, when I pulled up the TM menu from the menu bar, the usual "Enter Time Machine" menu was replaced by "Browse Other Time Machine Disks" (or perhaps "Disks" was "Backups"). This then gave me a list of the machines that I'd backed up on this backup device (in my case machine names and internal drive names are the same). Of course one of those was for the old internal drive, and after choosing it I roughly followed the same course of action as I did a few days ago, to initiate deletion.
    I also saw how I could delete each of those old backups individually, but decided against that as I did not expect it would free up enough space. My expectation is that nearly all the space is shared among all the backups for the same source drive, since relatively very little changes between backups.

  • Replacing Internal DVD Drive with HDD in Mac Mini?

    Has anyone tried replacing the internal DVD drive with a hard drive, giving you TWO internal hard drives? I think you need a cable to match up the SATA connectors. Then you could use a USB external enclosure for the DVD.
    Thanks.

    Very interesting, thanks el Duque. Too bad MCE doesn't make a carrier for the Mac Mini. I wonder if one for a Macbook Pro can be easily modified to fit?
    I have just learned that the SATA connector on the logic board for the optical drive in Macbooks and the Mini is called a "Slim-SATA" connector. Instead of the power side of the connector having 15 pins, it only has 6, with both types of connectors having a standard 7-pin data side. Both power and data hook-ups are achieved in a single connector -- a power side and data side.
    Since the ports on 2.5" hard drives are "standard" SATA connectors, AND they don't match up to the logic board's connector location (like with the connector location on the optical drive), a cable is needed to run between the HDD and the logic board connector.
    Unfortunately, such a cable is not available -- yet. Instead, one has to be fabricated out of two types of SATA cables -- a Molex 4-pin to SATA 15-pin power cable and a combination cable that looks like this:
    http://www.byteccusa.com/product/SATA/SATA-XP118/SATA-XP118.htm
    The fabrication involves replacing the molex 4-pin power end of the combi-cable with the SATA power end of the molex 4-pin to SATA power cable (cutting and soldering). The BIG question now is whether a HDD will work with just the two-wire power cable (of the combi-Sata cable) that an optical drive normally uses? Anyone know if it will? Thanks.

  • Replacement Internal Drive for iMac G5 (Oct 2005)

    I'm considering replacing the internal hard drive that came with my iMac G5 in Oct 2005 (Maxtor 6B250S0 250 GB SATA) to get more space.
    Can anyone tell me what the specifications are for internal hard drives on this model? Yes, I know it is a 3.5" SATA drive. But are there any limits on the amount of space (500+GB) that is supported? Should I be on the lookout for power requirements, etc.?
    This one looks good to me:

    Actually, things are stable after removing the jumper. With the jumper installed I got a message stating I couldn't install OS X nor boot from the drive.
    After removing the jumper, I installed OS X and transferred over data from another mac. The problem I was having was that under classic, one of my applications wouldn't launch. I recopied that application to the hard drive and I have had no further problems.
    The computer has been working flawlessly but I have it set to not go to sleep as it interferes with a 3d rendering program I run. Now that I think about it, it seems like before I set it to not sleep, I would come back and the computer and it would be off. I could set it so it sleeps, and see if that functions properly.

  • Replacing internal drive - advice needed

    I use a desktop G5 with two internal (SATA) hard drives. The non-bootable second drive is full and I intend to replace it with a new SATA drive with more capacity.
    The files on the drive that is full are also backed up on an external drive. I propose to copy the stuff from the external drive to the new larger internal drive. (Once removed, the old internal drive will be out of action until the day comes when I get a box to house external drives).
    I'm reasonably confident about the hardware side of things, installing the new internal drive. However I'm concerned about OS X issues... For instance, can I give the new drive the same name as the one just removed? Will that confuse the OS? Will it wonder where all the files have gone? Later, when I copy all the missing files to the new drive will the system find them? And if in the future I use the old drive in a box can I rename that drive and still have the files it hold recognised by the system?
    Given what I'm planning to do, what OS issues should I be aware of?
    Thanks, iHope

    Thanks for your comments. Since I can't clone the old HDD can I give the new drive the same name as the one just removed? And will it not wonder where all the files have gone?

  • Replacing Internal DVD RW

    The internal DVD keeps on reporting failure to write lead in / out
    when writing CDs at the higher speeds 16x 12x.
    I think this points to the demise of my internal drive.
    I have located a retailer who stocks the Pioneer DVD RW (a faster model) which should work in my G5. Does anyone know if it is simple
    to replace this drive. I have looked at the Apple tips page and it mentions about 'standoffs' on the bottom of the drive. I don't think these will be included with the new drive.Has any one replaced their DVD RW on their G5 and was there any problems?
    Have replaced drives in G4's with no problems at all. Just wondering if there is anything to note about replacement on the G5.
    In advance thanks for youradvice

    It is very easy to remove the G5 DVD and replace it. Toady there is a Pioneer 111D on sale for $38 that will work great. See - Pioneer DVR111D $38 shipped using code CS10:
    http://www.shop4tech.com/user.htm?go=view_item&id=4962
    The steps are simple.
    1. Release the two DVD side latches.
    2. Pull out the DVD.
    3.Remove the 4 pin molex power plug and the IDE cable.
    4. Unscrew the 4 mounting screws from underneath the DVD.
    5. Screw the mounting screws into the new DVD. Make sure it is set on Cable Select just like the old one. This is the factory setting.
    6. Power up the new DVD sitting sideways in the G 5 bay.
    7. Hit the eject button.
    8. Turn off the power to the DVD.
    9. Remove the front tray lip by pulling out from the bottom tabs.
    10. Power the DVD and push the tray back in.
    11. Install the power plug and the IDE cable to the new burner.
    12. Slide the DVD in place and close the two latches.
    Restart and check Disc Burning in System Profiler. You
    should see Burn Support: Yes (Apple Supported)
    Have fun,

  • Replacement internal battery... is there an easy way ?

    I need a new internal battery for a MacBook Pro 17" Mid-2009.  The old one doesn't last any more, and has bulged and distorted the base so that the thing now rocks from side to side.
    Given that batteries are a consumable, and 3rd party batteries are of unknown quality, I thought I'd spend the money and buy one from Messr Apple and Sons.
    No such luck.  External batteries are available in the Apple Store.  Internal batteries, not.
    So I consulted the chat people.  When we finally agreed that the External battery was not what I wanted, I was referred to my nearest Genius Bar.  Could they give me a price/availability/timescale ?  No.  I have to make time to visit my nearest Genius Bar to find out what they can do, when they can do it and how much this might cost.
    Frankly, I don't think I need a Genius to replace the battery.
    What's more, I don't have the time to waste schlepping my way to the nearest Genius, and would be more than a little irritated if they could not do the replacement on the spot... all this and I'm expected to either pay whatever the Genius wants for the battery and for fitting it, or just eat the waste of my time and go buy a 3rd party battery and have done with it.
    Is there a better way ?

    Why should I not attempt to install a battery on my own ?
    I have been fixing my own machines since god was in short trousers.  The inside of a MacBook Pro is really not that special.
    If Messrs Apple and Sons were prepared to give me (a) a price, and then (b) do the battery swap at an arranged time, I might be just a little less irritated by the rigmarole.
    But I'm also betting it would take two trips to sort this out... which is more BS than I am capable of sustaining without going postal on their posteriors.
    I'm also really curious about the FUD surrounding 3rd party batteries... I'd be nervous buying anything on *B*y or *m*z*n or such-like from some no-name supplier.  But there appear to be some specialist laptop battery suppliers around, who one would hope select their suppliers carefully.  On the other hand, there also appear to be a number of poorly constructed fronts for no-name suppliers.  IMHO what would be useful is a little more in the way of a reputation mechanism one could have some faith in (and a little less sucking of teeth and shaking of heads at the very idea of a battery which is not-made-for-apple-by-their-current-off-shore-suppliers).

  • Replacing internal drive on a 2 ghz intel core duo

    I am thinking of replacing my internal drive (80GByte) with a bigger one. Is it possible to replace it on ones own? I couldnt find any docs about this.
    Found only docs about the macbook drive replacement.
    And: Is there any limit concerning the drive size?
    There are 250Gbyte drives on the market (5400rpm) and I concider buying one, or is it better with a 160GByte?
    And: What about the 7200rpm drives. Are they producing too much heat maybe?
    Thank you for answering and helping..

    Doesn't matter which one you pick.
    Take a look here for instructions.
    http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Mac/
    I had a 7200 rpm drive when I had a Core Duo 17 and found that the palmrest got a bit warm. The 5400 drive didn't get so warm but then it was also in a Core 2 Duo which is a bit cooler.
    Best of luck.
