Solaris 10 not recognising hard disc properly

Hi,
I am running Solaris 10 (3/05) on Blade 100 and I have 2 x120GB hard discs. In boot prom probe-ide recognises them correctly and of course after adding these discs I booted the box with boot -r
In Solaris when I run format command 1st HDD is recognised properly (the one from which the box is booting) while the other one is recognised as 20GB Seagate drive which was there before I added 2nd 120GB drive which is now physically in the box.
When I select 2nd disk in format utility (which shows as 20GB Seagate drive) and I look at partitions, it all looks as if 20GB Seagate drive is still inside.
I tried booting with boot -r few more times, running sys-unconfig but on the OS level the OS just cannot recognise properly 2nd hard disc for some reason.
Would anyone have any suggestions how to get Solaris 10 to see the disc correctly?
Regards.

Boot -r did work. All it does is ask the driver to create the device links in /devices and /dev for you. It did that.
The 'sd' driver then reads the label (if it has one) and allows the device to be used. Since you had an old label on it somehow, it showed up as 20GB. Continuing to do a 'boot -r ' (or a devfsadm) isn't going to change that.

  • My HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs.

    my HP G70-120EM Laptop with a blueray player will not recognise blueray discs. Any idea what software update I need?

    I also have this problem on an Envy 17 laptop with a HP DVDBD TS-TB23L drive that shows up as a BD-ROM.  It will play music and read data discs but not play BLURAY or DVD discs.  It is very disheartening to finid such a lack of support for any problems on HP machines and will make me question ever buy an HP device.  They seem to produce them at such a rate that they never bother when things go wrong as there is another being produced in the next five minutes.  At first I thought this was a problem with the drive but now I suspect it is a software problem they are not bothering to resolve.

  • Blu-ray Error Code 25 Note: Not Enough Hard Disc Space

    I'm trying to make a Blu-ray image on my computer and recieving an error that states:
    Blu-ray Error
    Not enough free storage, "code 25" Note: Not enough Hard disc space
    Now I first thought to check my hard drive but I have plently of space. Next I noticed that encore CS3 was trying to make an image that is 340GB in size!!! Why would it do that? My project only has 4 assets. HELP this is going from bad to worse.

    My longer notes on this error:
    The most common workaround for this is to build to a folder and burn with ImgBurn (for PC) or toast (for Mac).
    Searches show that there has not been success in many situations. I do not believe that it is one problem.
    I have generally believed that the error refers to temporary storage on the hard drive. And users underestimate the amount of temporary hard disk drive space used. For bluray it is about twice the disk or more.
    Some users experience this error when they are creating dual layer BD disks, and a layer is more than 25G. Each video/layer must fit on one side.
    And some users successfully burn their disk by re-encoding to a lower bitrate (a 25G BD disk does not hold 25G). Encore uses padding to predict the size on disk (e.g. add 10% to the amount of space it predicts that build will use), and it can be wrong.
    Always good to "run as administrator, though I don't know that ever fixed this issue if someone wasn't.
    For CS4 there was a required update for a Roxio component. I believed this was a temporary problem due to the combination of Win7 and Encore CS4, but users on newer OS and Encore have reported resolution of problems after installing the patch.

  • My macbook (born 2006, mac os x snowleopard) broke down. I started again with DVD, but can not find hard disc, to repair it - can any body help me, pleeeeease?

    first time, using that way looking for help (in former times I get it directly from apple...). My problem: my macbook was getting more and more slowly, I turned it off an after turning on again, there was only a question mark. after starting with system-DVD, I could not find the hard disc to repaire it with first aid or do any thng else. I´m writing with macbook pro of my daughter now and ugentnly need to start my macbook as soon as possible. could any body help me??? (sorry, my english is a not so well) andrea from berlin

    Since you have the system disks, you can try running the Apple Hardware Test, that should confirm if the drive is dead or not. You'll use the disk that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label.

  • Lenovo T410s ultrabay not powering hard drive properly?

    Hello, I got a Lenovo T410s which I have been buying parts for here and there, and since I can't afford an msata SSD, I got an ultrabay hard drive adapter off ebay.
    The problem is, for some reason it is not powering up the hard drive properly. I beleive it worked a couple tims using a 320gb seagate drive, I just purchased a 1TB hitachi drive, and it start to power up then power to it cuts off.
    I set the CD performance to high and it did not fix anything, what is going on?
    This is the one I bought. http://www.ebay.ca/itm/New-9-5mm-SATA-Optical-Bay-HDD-Hard-Disk-Adapter-Caddy-Lenovo-T410s-T420s-T43...

    Ok, I tried something else, I have a 90w power supply, and a 66w power supply (for the x200 I have, though the x200 works fine on either). It always seemed to work on the 66w, and it was on and off on the 90 watt, so I swapped where I have them, it's currently on the 65 watt and it worked fine from the get go.
    I have to see if anything changes, but it seems to be working, I don't get how the power supply is affecting it though, unless since it is older, maybe it is noisier and somehow that is messing it up? It doesn't make any sense to me, I wish I had an oscilliscope to look at the power coming out of each.
    Like I said no guarantee, but it always worked with the 65w, so something is strange with the other one. IT did have a tendency to heat up a fair bit.

  • Blinking folder with question mark! Recovery mode not recognising hard drive!

    So today on my MacBook Pro 13" mid 2010, for some reason a CD that I inserted inside the DVD/CD drive didn't come out, and was stuck inside. So I looked up on how to force eject it out, and I saw someone wrote that you can force eject the CD by putting a paper clip inside the hole next to the CD/DVD drive. I did this, and it did not work. After I turned on my MacBook Pro and on the startup I found the blinking folder with question mark! I went through Internet recovery mode, and I found out that it did not recognise my hard drive!
    -Do I have to replace my hard drive?
    Please help! I'm fairly new with computers :(

    That was for very old Mac's and PC's, it's been a long time since any modern Mac had that ability.
    CD that I inserted inside the DVD/CD drive didn't come out, and was stuck inside.
    Press and hold the power button down to force a hardware shutdown.
    Hold the trackbutton down and the option/alt key at the same time, now boot the machine.
    The disk should spit out and you should eventually see a row of icons appear on the screen, this is Startup Manager and you can pres the eject key here also to get the cd to spit out.
    If you see MacintoshHD (or your OS X boot volume) click it and the arrow underneath and when you get into OS X, head to System Preferences > Startup Disk and set it again. Your problem should be resolved at this point.
    If you don't see your OS X boot volume and it shows RecoveryHD only, or holding the option/alt goes to Internet Recovery, then your boot drive is dead or there is some sort of other issue/power /Mac related.
    Try a #1 SMC Reset and a #2 PRAM reset and see if that fixes things.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If not, I then suspect because you couldn't eject the cd that something electrical bad happened to the Superdrive and as a result it also effected the power or something going to the boot hard drive.
    The hard drive might still work just fine if it's removed from the machine and a SATA to USB adpater to another Mac.
    My advice is to take the machine to Apple for a free hardware evaluation, then decide what you want to do from there.
    My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?

  • My computer is ill, does not recognise hard drive and so can not restore

    Hello there, I'm new to all this but would be thrilled if someone could help,
    I've had my iBook for going on three years and it crashed yesturday. To my horror it would not start up again afterwards. I heard the chime but then only a grey screen, I have had something similar before and been able to load up from the install disc and restore the software. However when I get onto the install disc and get as far as selecting the device/volume or whatever the hard drive is not listed! when I quit installer and go to the disk utillity option the Hard Drive is listed but no 'volume (as I believe is the correct term) is listed below. As most of my stuff is luckily on a external hard drive I decided to use the Erase facility (the only apparent option) to hopefully re-awaken the hard drive. But this did not work and I see no way of starting up from the hard drive. As a apple store will charge £60 just to look at it I am keen to identify the fault myself. Is the hard-drive simply given up? would a new hard drive (however tricky to install) be the solution? Or could it be a range of things? That only apple people should diagnose? what are my options? I'm a panicking design student who's mac hasn't let me down yet.
    Many Thanks

    Hi Dave,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    It's possible (more likely the drive is dead) that the drive's directory is damaged. If that's the case, Disk Warrior may be able to fix it. At $80US for Disk Warrior, I'd be more inclined to replace the drive. If your patient and can wield a few small tools, you can replace it yourself.

  • New Internal Superdrive not recognised unless disc inserted at boot.

    I've just replaced my non-working internal Superdrive in my 2009 Mac Mini / 10.8.4. The old one wouldn't reliably read all discs, even after cleaning the lense, so I picked up a Toshiba TS-T633PN for a low price as a replacement.
    This isn't a standard Apple issue drive, but I thought what the heck, it's SATA so what could go wrong? Hmm, it seems it will only be recognised by OS X if there's a disc in it at boot time. Otherwise it either shows up incorrectly in System Information, or not at all, and either way if I insert a disc nothing shows up in Finder.
    If I boot with a disc present (any disc - data or video)  then it works fine except that it's not always reliable when it comes to ejecting discs. Sometimes when I eject it, the disc unmounts but doesn't pop out of the drive. I have to run drutil eject from Terminal to get it to eject.
    When eject fails I can see the following in /var/log/system.log:
    Jun 23 13:42:17 macmini kernel[0]: SerialATAPI device reconfiguration did not complete successfully.  (failedCommandInfo = 0x1)
    Before I go and try it in an external USB enclosure, has anybody got any suggestions as to how I can make this work reliably?

    From what i can tell this drive, though a SATA and the same size, is not compatible with Mac. The hardware works but the firmware is not made for/compatible with OS X. This can certainly cause the behavior you described. You can look for tools to flash the drive's firmware but as it is new i'd return the drive, get a refund and purchase a compatible model. macsales.com has them as do many other sites, just make sure it mentions Mac compatibility. Personally, depending on your needs of course, i'd put the money towards an external Blu Ray player/burner. If storing large amounts of data and/or blu ray movies are a concern then it is well worth the few extra bucks.

  • Windows 7 installation will not recognise the Bootcamp disc!

    I have a 2008 Macbook running Snow leopard.
    Installed Win 7 via bootcamp but when I insert the Mac Snow Leopard disc to install the Bootcamp drivers etc after the Win 7 install has succeeded, the Windows 7 installation will not recognise the disc!
    Any ideas
    Thanks in advance

    If you used your Leopard DVD then it won't work.
    As ScuseMe said only the OSX Snow Leopard DVD contains the drivers for Windows 7.

  • How do I reinstall CS5.5 if my iMac won't recognise my discs?

    I had the hard drive on my iMac replaced recently.
    Although I backed up all my InDesign files, I did not back up my CS5 applications as I have the oringal discs
    When I tried re installing CS5.5 my iMac did not recognise the discs at all and then spat them out after a few seconds with a whirring noise coming from what must've been the DVD drive I guess.
    I phoned Adobe who said there is a known issue with reinstalling (CS5.5) discs.
    They also told me there are no CS5.5 downloads available, which was interesting as I found a CS5 forum which had a link to download CS5. I tried this link and it didn't work.
    The Adobe help person suggested I stick my CS5 discs onto another iMac and then copy these CS5 files onto this iMac's desktop. From this desktop, I then copied my CS5 onto an external hard drive. I then plugged this external hard drive back onto my iMac (with the replacement hard drive) and copied all these CS5.5 files back onto my desktop. I then opened the install file and the installation process started working fine until I got a message saying,' Please insert Disk CS5_5 Mstr Coll 2 to continue'.
    And now I'm truly stuck as my iMac won't accept, or read, my CS5 discs. Any ideas on how to sort this out?
    BTW - I also tried setting up a new user profile. That didn't work

  • Superdrive will not recognise CDs/Blanks

    I just bought a powermac G5 , It was a rebuilt one that did not come with the original discs . Everything works fine on it , it has the last version of Tiger instaled . I went to burn some music to a disc from iTunes and it did nor even recognise that there was a disc in the drive( CD-R blank ) . I then made a few tests , first i loaded a DVD of a movie and it had no problem with that . Then I loaded a store bought music CD and same thing happened , it did not recognise the disc . Is this a hardware issue or a software issue ? is there a 3rd party software that we could use ?

    Hi Tracy!
    If you call Apple Customer Service 1-800-767-2775, and provide the serial number of the Mac, you may be able to purchase replacement original system discs.
    However, those will be for the version of OS, that was pre-installed when manufactured.
    But, they will contain the bundled software, that is not included in a Full Retail Version, of a newer OS X. The Apple Hardware Test, specific to the Mac model, will also be included.
    If the original OS, is lower than the current installed version of OS X, you will also need to purchase a corresponding Full Retail Version, of the desired system.

    Question: I have just taken delivery of my LR5 disc. I had already downloaded the trial version. I just tried entering the serial number from my hard copy to authorise my downloaded trial version and it did not recognise the serial number. So, I loaded the hard copy, and the instructions said that it would just overwrite the downloaded version. And again it will not recognise my serial number! I am not wanting to uninstall the trial version as I have already got quite a lot of personal preferences entered etc. Help please. I am on a macbook pro with latest OS

  • FCP X does not recognise my hard disc for storage

    I run all my applications of a 120 GB SSD and replaced my DVD drive with a 1 TB hard disc for storage. This is working very well with all my applications apart from FCP. FCP simply does not recognise my hard disc as a place for storage, although it has no problem recognising it as a source to import from.
    After doing some research on other forums, most commonly this problem is due to your hard disc having a typical "camera picture name" like "IMG_001" or "DCI_001" etc. for a folder at root level, thus FCP thinks the hard disc is a camera (for import) but not suitable for storage.
    I have been messing around with this for days now, and would really appreciate some help.
    Thanks in advance
    p.s screen shots of typical infomation attached
    - Duddleif is the name of the SSD
    - Kjell is the name of the 'missing' hard disc

    Instead of using older OS X CD/DVD install to a new drive.
    Where is your backup and clone?
    Buy some drives! that is a must.
    Pick up a FW case, you will need it to put the old drive in, and later, so you have an external and off line drive for backups and maintenance.
    A copy of TechTool Pro 4/5 and Disk Warrior (DW first).
    SuperDuper to clone your drives.
    Demo of Prosoft Data Rescue 3 to scan the drive once you have a system and you put the 'dead' drive in FW case.
    Then do backups and preventative maintenance on a very regular basis and have at least two backup sets.
    If you have been doing that, and know and have read those instructions in the past....

  • New Hard Disc Drive installed but is not recognised on reboot.

    My Toshiba Satellite A200-1BW hard drive went (200gb, mk2035gss). I bought a new 500gb (mq01abd050) toshiba one and replaced it. After formatting it will not recognise the new drive. It goes through the formating process ok. on startup it says:-
    "media test failure" then later:- "Windows could not complete the installation, To install Windows on this computer, restart the installation."
    so far I have:- reinstalled/formatted many times. device manager in dos. disabled all network adapters and then restart. I do not have the option in BIOS to go from sata mode to compatability mode. Is this a Bios problem? mine is ISKAE BIOS VERSION V1.30 (26/32007). tried downloading new bios but appears not to work.
    I have 2048mb of ram in the machine. windows vista ultimate.
    I can boot up sometimes with the old drive which works for a while before freezing. I can attach the 500gb hdd externally via usb and it works fine. It has two partitions. 1.46gb WinRE and Vista. The old hdd 200gb has the same1.46gb and Vista. however when i use computer management the old hdd says the 1.46gb partition is healthy(EISA Configuration) and the new 500gb 1.46gb partition says healthy (primary partition), and the old hdd vista says healthy (system, Boot, Page file, Active, Crash dump, Primary partition). The new vista just says healthy (Active, Primary partition).
    Is this the problem or is this simple because it has not configured everything yet as it has never booted from the new drive? How do i get the new drive to say system, boot etc....... the old drives 1.46gb partion has no name and i cannot open it to see what's in there. the new one WinRE i can open. it has boot.sdi and a folder  "sources". in that folder is a file boot.wim The files installed on the new drive look the same as the old drive as far as I can see.
    in computer management i have made the new hdd default OS. If I reboot and go into system recovery options it lists the 2 drives. the old one says "microsoft windows vista"  the new drive says" windows vista (tm) ultimate (recovered)
    CD drive may need replacing so if I need to use the recovery disc again I will need help making a USB flash drive to boot up as the one i tried did nothing. what other info do you need?

    Hi! I'm not much help, but I seem to be the only one replying. I don't know Norton ghost 10. I use Macrium Reflect and I have always been able to restore my drive to just like the day I made the image. I have done it many times. Macriuum Reflect is my best friend. I just boot with the Linux based CD that you make on day one. I plug in my external USB. Macrium finds all my images and I just chose the date I want and in less than two hours I'm back up and running. I have never lost on bite of data and it has never let me down. I have no use for any thing Norton makes.
    Dokie!!
    PS The screen shot shows all three partitions of my HD. I can chose any one partition or all three if I'm restoring to a new drive. This is all I know. I can also mount any partition and see what is on it with Macrium.
    PS Here is all the files that are on my recovery partition.
    I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.
