SCSI drive on SCSI controller card wont mount using OSX leopard

My SCSI drive on a SCSI controller PCI card wont mount using OSX Leopard. It mounts fine using OSX Tiger 10.4.11
How can I make it mount on Leopard?

I have PowerMacs G4 Quicksilvers with SCSI drives running 10.5.8. They boot and run OK without an added driver, faster with an added driver for their ATTO cards.
What card are you using?

CF Card wont mount on Desktop

Im using 10.3.9 on a G5 with 4gb ram and I have been using a lexarmedia CF reader for a year and last week it worked fine but recently it wont mout any old or brand new CF cards that I use with different digital cameras. The same cards with the same reader work fine with other macs(10.4) and powerbooks (10.3.9). The card will not show up on disk utilites as well diskwarrior wont find it also. I have tried verify/repair permissions. I have also tried different USB ports and no luck and with those same USB ports everything from an IPOD to an external USB hard drive will mount.
Please Help
Thanks

Hi, Charlie. Have you tried reformatting the card(s) in your camera(s)? Did your reader require the installation of any proprietary software that might have become corrupted on the G5, and if so, have you reinstalled it?

Flash Card wont mount

Im using 10.4.6 on a G5 with 4gb ram and I have been using a lexarmedia CF reader for a year and last week it worked fine but recently it wont mout any old or brand new CF cards that I use with different digital cameras.

Exactly the same - if that reassures you.

CF card not recognised in card reader - not seen by Nikon Transfer 2, Lightroom or iPhoto
D300 not recognised by Nikon Transfer 2, lightroom or iPhoto
Disk Utilities show that the CF card and the camera is connected
But, I can't access any of my images on the CF card. And that's a bit of a problem.
(I have all the WiFi issues as well)
Isn't this a great OS release.
I'm getting used to 'Googling' remedies for the Yosemite experience.
Have you found a solution yet ?

External hard drive partition for Time Machine wont mount

I have an external HD that I've partitioned half for Time Machine, and half for external storage. Today the Time Machine partition wouldn't show up on the desktop. I checked Disk Utility and it recognizes both partitions, but the Time Machine partition is greyed out. When I selected it, in the stat list at the bottom it said "Mount Point: Not Mounted." I then clicked on "Mount" at the top, and after a bit a popup told me it couldn't mount and I should attempt to repar the disk. So I clicked "Repair Disk," and after a while, I finally got the message "Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files."
Why is only one partition affected? Can I reformat one petition but leave the other untouched? Are there any other options before I do this?
One other item that is probably related: I've been having an issue with a flash drive that seems to constantly unmount itself, giving me "error, disk ejected improperly" messages. Earlier today I believe I had the same thing with my external HD.

Why is only one partition affected?
The drive malfunction that caused the problem only affected that partition.
Can I reformat one petition but leave the other untouched?
Yes.
Are there any other options before I do this?
This is not an option, it's mandatory: start a new backup on another drive. The one you have has lost data once already. If it were mine, it would be in the recycling bin now. You need more than one backup to be safe anyway. Apparently you have no backups at all of the data on the other partition. That means you're going to lose that data, sooner or later.

MY HARD DRIVES WONT MOUNT, HELP

I recently bought the Lacie 250 gig fire 400 (I also have a 160 gig porche hard drive) and it worked for awhile. But a few weeks ago when I turned my computer on the hard drive would not mount. I took my computer to the mac store and the tech tested my fire wire and they were just fine. Then he hooked up a hard drive from the store and they mounted just fine. Now heres the weird part. When I brought my computer home both my hard drives mounted just fine. But here we are a few weeks later and now they will not mount again. I have tried everything possible to mount these drives from changing firewire cords to unplugging everything and still nothing. Now the tech said that he thinks that the computer cant tell the difference between the two drives and thats why they wont mount. I need help bad!!!!!!!!
G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

If you have the drive backed up, you could
try this. With it plugged in and on go into
disc utility. Check to see if the parent
drive is visible. The drive that is not
mounting is considered a volume mount point.
This is the named volume that you gave it.
The parent drive will have the name the
factory gave it.
Select the parent disc
and try repairing or verifying the disc
to see if it helps. As a last resort you
can erase the disc using no security and
this will usually get the volume to mount.
I would install a OS on it so that it is
more likely to mount.
It will appear that your volume is empty
when actually you data is there but the
directories have been removed.You could
get your data back with a file
recovery program.
I would try the OSX
forum, they will know a few tricks you
might try. Only do the erase as a last
resort.

IDE Controller Card?

Anyone using an IDE card they can recommend? I'm thinking of upgrading from my older A64 to an Intel quad core, but all of my devices are ATA. The cheap mobos for 775 only seem to have one IDE controller.
Another question I have is whether these cards are capable of doing the normal master/slave configuration for 2 devices per port, or since I guess it would have to be recognized in the BIOS as a SCSI device, whether they can only handle one per connection?
I'd also like to be able to boot from it so I can keep optical drives separate from hard drives, but it's not absolutely necessary. I'd prefer it, but it's not a deal breaker.
I was looking at one of these two:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6815124001
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6816132005
I believe they both use a Silicon Image chipset, which afaik is supported in 2.6.x. Any thoughts or other suggestions?

Okay - thanks very much. I already got a cheap one with silicone image chipset, but now I'm having trouble booting it.
With hard disks on the motherboard IDE (I'll call it IDE1) and optical drives on the card, the disk won't boot, either giving a Disk Boot Failure, or VMI hangup.
With the hard disks on the card and optical drives on IDE1, the computer will boot past grub, but then it says it can't find /dev/sda2 and dies.
I booted a Slax CD, and the drives when on the card are mounted as sdex and sdfx. But then grub will not boot no matter what I change the boot line to. I tried everything from sdax to sdfx, it just can't see the partition.
I can boot the computer if I only hook up the drives to the IDE channel and leave off the optical drives. But obviously that is not really useful and defeats the purpose for which I bought the card. :-p I also somehow had everything working at one point with disks on IDE1 and opticals on the card (except the opticals wouldn't boot, which I was trying to fix) but somehow I can't get that back. I've tried every configuration I can think of, cleared the CMOS, reset everything, still it doesn't work. As soon as I plug in the optical drives to the card, it just hangs at that VMI error.
Any advice before I give up on this motherboard and try a better one?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
N/M - I got it. I just had to boot the fallback image and then rebuild the kernel. Now I have the drive on the card booting fine, and it also boots from optical.

PCI USB2 Controller card conflicts with network card

I've installed a PCI USB2 controller card since my motherboard (IWill K266-R) only has support for USB1. However, the card seems to conflict with one of my network cards, because traffic on the internet-connected NIC is very slow, and often drops completely. Traffic to and from the other (local) NIC seems to work fine, though.
I have tried moving around all three cards in different PCI slots, I think I've tested almost every possible combination by now. I've also tried disabling as much as possible in BIOS, such as onboard sound, serial and parallel ports etc. I've tried lowering the FSB.
For now, I've removed the controller card, and is using the USB1 ports on the motherboard instead. This is very frustrating, though.
Does anyone have any suggestion on what I can try next? I've browsed forums, both this and others, but I haven't found any more hints on what to try. Could there be some setting in Arch that could affect these sorts of things?

"I guess the ATA100 card will work fine correct?"
If you mean large drive support, it may provide that or may require a firmware update to do so. You should check the manufacturer's web site for specifics. All ATA-133 cards do provide 48-bit LBA for large drive support. I'd return the Ultra ATA-66 card to the eBay seller, although many refuse to pay for return shipping, even when the mistake is their own, either through ignorance or deliberate misrepresentation. In cases such as this, it's sometimes more cost-effective to swallow the loss and keep the incorrect part.
"Will adding a jumper apply for a ATA100 card as well? I'll need a blue and gray ribbon correct?"
If you use an 80-conductor ribbon cable with color-keyed connectors, set the drive configuration jumper to CS and connect the drives to the cable as you wish (in terms of physical placement in the computer). If the ribbon cable doesn't have color-keyed connectors, set the jumper for the device connected to the end connector as Master and the drive (if any) connected to the middle connector as Slave.

K9vgm-v problem with pci ide controller card

My problem is with a promise ultra100 tx2 pci ide controller card that I got with a western digital hard drive a year or 2 back. I can plug the card in with no hard drives attached to it, boot into windows, update the drivers, etc. but when I plug either of my hard drives into the card, it goes to a black screen directly after the screen the promise controller brings up after the main msi bios screen.
It's my understanding that this problem is caused because the ide controller card can't inject its bios into the option rom of the motherboard. I've tried disabling as many other features that I can in the bios to clear up some space in the option rom, but so far no luck. I made sure I have the latest MSI bios, but I am 1 or 2 revisions behind on the promise controller card bios, because I don't have a floppy drive and I can't get any bootable cds to work.
If need be, I can get a new ide controller card, but I would rather not, because this one works just fine, and I am pretty short on cash. I am also worried that this same problem will happen with other controller cards that I pick up. Any advice on how to get this thing working?
P.S. - is there any way to get this board to boot from a USB key? My only options in the bios for booting to USB are USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, and USB-CDROM.
-MSI k9vgm-v
-phoenix rev 1.2 (I think. Can't remember. Whatever liveupdate says is the newest)
-AMD Athlon 64 3200+
-512 MB Wintec Ampo memory
-onboard video
-Enermax 370watt noisetaker
3.3v 30A
5v 32A
12v 1 14A
12v 2 13A
-ide hard drive as primary master (windows drive)

USB-FDD, USB-ZIP or in HDD area.. depend how will be detected your USB key.

Check the exact version. Latest version is 1.6, if there is an conflict that raid card unable to register property like(No enough Space to copy PCI Option ROM or similar) a new bios can help.

Internal drive wont mount via Sonnet ATA100 card

My Sonnet Tempo ATA100 pci card does not recognize my 200GB Seagate IDE hard drive in my G4 tower. The drive appears fine on desktop when connected to original mother ribbon. What can it be?

Hello Web dude,
Several thoughts....
Controller cards can be persnickety about what they see (or allow to be seen).
Do not rush out to buy another controller card. If you have access to another controller card (free), by all means try substituting it.
Sonnet controller cards are bashful, and are not always seen by your Mac even when they are working. This makes diagnosing problems more difficult. They should be seen by Disk Utility however, even if they are not seen by the Apple profiler.
A controller card sees its hard drive as a SCSI drive, and the hard drive needs to be formatted when connected to the controller card in order to install its SCSI drivers. (This is, of course, difficult when you can't find the drive in the first place.)
Try different configurations: jumper settings, as slave to another drive if you have one, different cable or different socket on the controller card, resetting the PRAM and/or the motherboard, mounting in a different Mac if you have one handy --- substituting with known-good parts is always a good idea.
Check the PRAM battery.
Reset the start-up disk.
Repairing disk permissions is never a bad idea.
Try booting to an installer disk, or a utility disk such as Disk Warrior.
As example: last week my spare Mac (DA) saw three drives, one master, two slaves, all on an ACARD 6280 controller card. Just now, as I fired it up to reply to your post, it refused to see the first slave drive. Anywhere... Solution was to remove the second drive from the system, boot, note that the Mac now saw the first slave drive, replace the second slave drive into the system, boot again. Voila! Back again! A genius! Go figure!
Good luck... Jon

How to install the driver of the 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'

Hi,
I have two Windows XP(32Bit) installations:
•Windows XP SP2(32Bit) which is old and it seems as if it is infected by some viruses.
•I have installed another fresh clean Windows XP(32Bit) SP3. However, I have found that there is no category named with ''SCSI and RAID Host Controller'. However, when checking out the old version of Windows XP, I found 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'
is there. (Screen shot below)
The new Windows XP(32Bit) SP3, there is no 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller'
My motherboard is:
My Desktop Computer(Intel P 4, 512MB of RAM, and Graphics Card with 256MB of RAM.
]I am seeing that most computer doesn't has the scsi / raid controller . in the old Windows XP on my computer that SCSI and RAID controller exists, and it it has not a yellow mark on it.
When I installed a new windwos XP 32Bit SP3, no SCSI/RAID in divice manager .
My computer sound on new Windows XP doesn't work , however, on old Windows XP SP2 works well. I have a buitl-in sound card. SCSI and RAID controller category in the device manager on the old Windows xp SP2 is realted to sound card,I don't think.
Thus, What drivers would let the 'SCSI and RAID Host Controller' added in the device manager?
A man should convert his anger and sadness into strength to continue living in this life.

If you open the case and shine a light on the motherboard you can usually see both the manufacturers name and the model printed on the pcb somewhere. You should also normally see this information on the first POST screen when you turn on the PC.
Otherwise Google "775i65G" like I did.
Here are the driver downloads (assuming it is an Asrock 775i65G R2.0 and not an R3.0)
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/775i65G%20R2.0/?cat=Download&os=XP
You should install the inf driver first. Hopefully after you do that you will see your desired listing in Device Manager.
With regard to the AMR driver and the HDMR driver, you can find some information about these here :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio/modem_riser
Unless you actually have something plugged into these risers, it is probably not necessary to install the drivers.
However, the drivers for the integrated C-Media audio chip and the Realtek Lan chip may prove useful.
It looks like the motherboard has integrated video but if you are using a graphics card it will not normally be necessary to install the VGA driver.
You can download both the manual and the installation guide here
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/775i65G/?cat=Manual
And if "SCSI and RAID Host Controller" is still not shown in Device Manager, don't worry - because these functions are not supported by your motherboard (again assuming it is an Asrock 775i65G)
Thanks a lot,
First of all, when saying that I have multi-operationgs systems, I mean there are two operating systems installed on my PC(SP2, SP3) both are 32Bit. The first Windows SP2(NOT installed by me) has all multimedia audio card installed
well, and has SCSI and RAID Host Controller shown the device manager. However, only the VGA is not installed on Windows SP2. However, the second one Windows SP3(Installed by me) has VGA not installed, Multimedia audio NOT installed, and there is no SCSI and
RAID Host Controller in device manager.
First: Why did the CPUz, specy didn't detect motherboard name, and only detect the model. IF I need to open the case and shine a light on the motherboard you can usually see both the manufacturers name and the model printed on
the pcb somewhere, then what benfit would be there from hardware detection software?
Second: Yes, my motherboard has integrated video, and integrated audio card
However, this doesn't mean that I don't need to install them since the Vidoe controller is not properly installed (it is a default VGA ) Also, Multimedia audio controller is not functiong at all.
Finally: if And if "SCSI and RAID Host Controller" is still not shown in Device Manager in Windows XP SP3, because these functions are not supported by my motherboard, then why is 'SCSI and RAID Host
Controller' installed/shown in the device manger in Windows XP SP2 on the same PC???

Windows 7 fails to recognize Adaptec 39320 SCSI controller card.

I recently installed a new Motherboard in an existing system and installed Windows 7 Pro on it instead of Windows XP Pro that I had on the previous motherboard. The system included a Adaptec 39390D SCSI card
and 4 ultra320 SCSI drives. I downloaded the drivers for this card from Adaptec, there site says the driver is compatible with Windows 7. I then went to Device Manager and clicked on, clicked on Storage Controllers, Adaptec 39320-based Ultra 320
SCSI, and clicked update controller and received driver installed message.
Device Manager now shows "This device is working properly.", but
the drives do not show up in "Disk Management" were they showed up in previous installations on Windows XP Pro, for Importing.
The BIOS display during startup shows the controller and the connected drives.
This seems to be problem with Windows 7 Professional. If I made a mistake in installing the Adaptec driver would someone please tell me how to correct the problem.

Typically, and I could be wrong about this, you want to also update other drivers such as the Chipset (which the SCSI card may be plugged into as on onboard device) which will also be needed in order for the SCSI drives to be seen.
Did you install Windows 7 using installation media or did you use a deployment mechanism like Microsoft Deployment Toolkit to deploy the OS? If you used MDT, you can pre-package the device drivers (Adaptec drivers included) into the deployment to allow the
drivers to be installed during the initial install of the OS and not in the OS. This method is recommended to be used for plug-and-play driver installation.

Is ATTO 0096-PCBX-002 Ultra320 SCSI Controller Card For Apple PowerMac G5 pci-x ??

is ATTO 0096-PCBX-002 Ultra320 SCSI Controller Card For Apple PowerMac G5 pci-x ??

Is this an OEM card? ATTO web site does not list such a model.
Otherwise, you'll be better off with a ExpressPCI UL4D or UL4S. I have run a UL4D in my G4 MDD for years with absolutely no problem. You could get one from ebay for cheap.

Windows 2008 Server Enterprise R2 x64 and Perc 4/dc SCSI driver issue

Hello all, this is the first time posting so please forgive me if this has been posted here before. I did try to search this issue but zero returns.
OK, I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900. I have just put a fresh install of MS Windows 2008 ENT. Server x64. I cannot seem to find a driver for the PERC 4/dc SCSI controller I have installed. I have been told the 2003 x64 driver would work so I attempted to install that driver but was unsuccessful. Then I was told by Dell that the driver should be native to the OS. Is the driver native to 2008 Server (or, supposed to be)? Does anyone have an answer as to where I might retrieve am driver of the controller if not? Anyway, thanks in advance

Hello,
I don't have a PowerEdge 2900, but I do have a PowerEdge 2850. I'm also just a regular bloke like yourself that just happened upon your post and after I figured this driver debacle out I registered to hopefully help.
The good thing is my PERC card is the same in the PE2850 as it is in your PE2900, as I'm utilizing a PERC 4/DC. I've also managed to run into the same issue you ran into(?) trying to load Windows 2008 Server Enterprise R2 (support for 32bit processors have been removed in R2... so no more x86 versions... my poor PE2650s never stood a chance with this OS).
I can tell you officially from my experience/research Windows Server Enterprise R2 does not have support built into it for the PERC 4/DC card.
However, I was able to download the Windows 2003 x64 driver from support.dell.com and make it work after much trial and error with newer releases of the PERC 4/DC driver that were not accepted by 2k8R2.
Here's the link: http://support.dell.com/support/downloads/download.aspx?c=us&cs=RC956904&l=en&s=hied&releaseid=R100373&SystemID=PWE_PNT_P3C_2850&servicetag=FBCLP61&os=WX64&osl=en&deviceid=6396&devlib=0&typecnt=0&vercnt=1&catid=-1&impid=-1&formatcnt=3&libid=35&fileid=129549
File name (incase Dell moves it on you guys) is "perc-w2k3-6.46.3.64-A01.exe", date released 6/9/2005, build version 6.46.3.64, and the Dell revision number is A01.
Even though it states the driver is for the LSI Logic PERC 4e/Si it's sort of a mega pack including many other drivers such as the PERC 4/DC. This was much relief because I was thinking I would need to stick with Windows 2008 until I found this driver for Windows 2008 R2. :)
What I did was:
1) Downloaded the driver and extracted it to a USB drive.
2) Booted-up via the Win2k8R2 CD and when it got to the screen where it asked to install to a partition and didn't show me a partition to install Win2k8R2 to I selected the option to load a driver.
3) From the load driver option I just browsed to the directory where I extracted the files and selected that directory. If the "hide devices that are not compatible" option is selected (normally on by default) it will show you the proper driver.
4) Select the PERC 4/DC driver and then setup your partitions the way you would like them!
From there you should be able to boot into the OS... and really have some fun.
Now you have the power... I guess the choice is yours to R2 or not to R2... that is the real question. :)
Enjoy!
Dave
Thanks and this worked for a Power edge 1800, PERC 4/DC as well. Kukan

SOS!! SOS!! HELP ME!!! The mobo won't load/boot windows from the SCSI Drive!!! HELP!!!

Ok so i got the board and the crucial RAM with a new enermax 450W power supply. I am running the 1MB A64 3400+ CG on this board.
I am using the Seagate cheetah 15.3K SCSI drive with a LSI 21320 SCSI controller
(http://www.lsilogic.com/products/ultra320_host_bus_adapters/lsi21320.html )
I am also running a IDE drive on the primary IDE channel set as slave.
I went to the bios and changed the boot order to use the SCSI HD as the first boot device and proceed to intall windows XP. I pressed F6 to install the SCSI drivers and everything went fine until the reboot after all the files has been copied. I would get an error message saying something like:
"NTLDR cannot find boot drive etc"
I have no idea what to do...i tried everything and i am 100% sure that its not my SCSI HD or SCSI card.
PLZZZZ HELP ME!!!!!!! PLZZZ HELP!!!!!

Found it set your boot order to bootable add in card first in the screen shown here courtesy of HardOCP : http://www.hardocp.com/image.html?image=MTA4MjM1MDg3NWxrOFNyWHJRcTNfMl8yNl9sLmdpZg==
That should do ya.
Also be sure that the LSI controller is configured to use the Seagate drive to boot from. There is usually an option of which channel to boot from in the HBA BIOS.
