Solaris 11 livecd-installer cannot find harddisk

Booting the live-cd on a IBM Thinkcentre A-51 workstation ( ubuntu 10.10 and ubuntu 8.04 installed ) to check out Solaris 11, i ran de installer as intended. But where Gparted could see/ find my partitions, the installer did not and kept running forever.
How is that?

I'm also having this problem on a system that has an ASUS A8N5X motherboard and a single SATA drive attached. It behaves just as you describe. This is disapointing as I have had no problems running Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris on this machine in the past.
UPDATE: After posting this, I tried again, and let it spin for about 10 minutes and it finally found the disk and allowed to continue installation normally. I guess it just takes a while! :\

Installation cannot find a disk to install on

Hello,
Very short version of the problem:
*Tiger installation does not detect any harddrive to install to*
Full story:
Yesterday I bought my very first iMac. It's a 20" wirh 2Gb ram and 300Gb disk.
It was preinstalled with Tiger. I did the updrade to Leopard mself. No problems there.
Then I treid to install Windows using bootcamp.
Since then, a lot of problems.
The system will not start anymore.
So, since this is a fresh system, I have no problem starting all over again.
I can't directly start with Leopard since they are only upgrade disks, so have to install Tiger first.
When I have the install-1 Tiger disk in the CD and start the system, the upgrade
starts.
*But at a certain point it shows the box with available Harddrives to install to.*
*That box is empty on my screen !!!!*
*This is the problem: The apple cannot find my harddrive anymore.*
does anybody have a clue what to do now?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Cannot Install - Installer cannot find file

A colleague and I are getting the same error when trying to install this software.
The installer extracts files into the temp directory, then an error pops up saying "The system cannot find the files pecified." I can see that it is trying to find "hpzrein01.exe" with "hpqins15.dat" included as a parameter. I can see the .dat file in the specified directory, but the .exe does not exist in the folder that the installer deposited the extracted files.
Any help would be appreciated. I did some web searches, but did not find a solution.

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any QuickTime entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing QuickTime again. Does the install go through properly now?
(If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

Tiger 10.4.3 Installer Cannot Find Destination Drive

I am trying to upgrade[finally] from 10.2.8 to 10.4.3 using the installer disc, but it cannot find my hard drive for it to install. I have run a repair[ Disk & Permissions] using Disk Utility, everythings fine. Have run an Apple Hardware check and again eveything fine. Through System Preferences/Startup Disk It sees my disc no problem and everything is running smoothly and quickly, so I'm a bit worried why the installer disc is unable to see my hard drive.
Any help with this would be much appreciated, Sorry if this query has been answered elsewhere, I had a good look before I added this entry and couldn't find an answer.
Thanks for your time.
Power Mac G4 Quicksilver[Mirrored Drive Doors] Mac OS X (10.2.x)

Had a go but the DVD's Disk Utility simply couldn't see my hard drive went on the System Profiler off the installer disc and again the only disc it could see was the DVD itself, No other ATA drive or Serial ATA drive. Rebooted the computer as normal and the system profiler saw the hard drive with no problem. I unplugged all peripheral hardware like DVD Burner, Scanner and Printer, and my Firmware is all up to date as your checklist suggested too.
Was wondering, my hard drive has it's jumper set to "Enable cable select", When starting from the Installer disc does that cause a conflict about which disc is master and results in the disc not being seen?
(Sorry if this is a silly suggestion, it doesn't take long for this technical stuff to baffle me, as you can tell)
Thanks again for your help.

Any USB Device Installs Cannot Find Drivers - x40 SP3

I am running Windows XP SP3 on an X40 2371-HU3. I am unable to install new USB devices such as an RF mouse + keyboard and a multifunction printer. Importantly, I *am* able to connect new removable storage devices with no trouble.
The error occurs when I reach the stage of the install process where Windows prompts me to direct it to the driver. I manually direct the driver installation wizard to whatever location the driver files are located in... the wizard looks in the location, and promptly reports that there is no appropriate driver to be found.
This happens with the following USB devices:
Brother MFC-8660DN
Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110
Belkin portable USB hub
HP OfficeJet 4255
This problem has been going on for months without me fully realizing it, so I cannot point at the installation or uninstallation of any particular piece of hardware of software that created this problem.
This one has me stumped, folks. Thanks in advance for your help.

OK I have an idea what might be going on here. Let's try this:
1. Unplug the Brother MFC-8660DN USB cable.
2. Download and install the Windows XP driver package for the MFC-8660DN from the Brother web site.
3. Plug the USB cable back in.
Windows XP includes drivers for nearly all USB storage devices, so they usually work without any additional drivers.
Windows XP cannot find drivers for the printers you list because it has none. Before plugging into USB, you have to install them from the manufacturer's web site downloads or from the CDs which came with them.
I confess I am a bit puzzled as to why XP doesn't find drivers for the USB hub - is it a fancy model? I would also have expected Windows XP to have some basic drivers for the mouse and keyboard, but usually there are manufacturer drivers which give access to more advanced features.
Hope this helps get you a step in the right direction!

LV Installer cannot find LV2009RealTimeModule

I want to build an installer for an application to read an instrument through a serial port. I am getting an error message in the build that says NI LabVIEW 2009 Real-Time Module is not available and for me to point to it. I have tried installing the Real-Time module from the software DVD's that I have, but the problem still occurs. I created a zip file shows that I have been trying to work through the problem and has screenshots of the error messages that I am getting, but cannot attach it to this.
I have found and downloaded the 2009f3 software patch this morning.

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Greg,
This may seem like a silly question--but does your serial application utilize the Real Time Module? If so, then I'd like to check that it is installed and licensed. Go to Start>Program Files>National Instruments>NI License Manager. Do you see the Real-Time Module listed underneath LabVIEW 2009? If so, what color is the box next to it? If it is green, and you are indeed using the Real Time Module in your application, then I recommend reinstalling the module from the hard drive itself--i.e, copy the installation from the CD to your desktop, then install. When including additional installers, LabVIEW will look for them for wherever they were last installed from. If it is on your hard drive, it shouldn't have any trouble finding it. If you are not using the LabVIEW Real Time Module, then uncheck it from the list of Additional Installers.
Feel free to post back if these steps do not resolve your problem.
Cheers,

Successful download, cannot install, have no installer, cannot find one

First, I have my serial number. Second, I cannot get my Creative Suite installed. I cannot get help from Adobe directly, they send me to this forum. I apologize in advance as I am pretty sure this is not the right place to ask the question. My house burned down in a Rocky Mountain wildfire, and my brand new Creative Suite disk with it. I have finally gotten Adobe to assist in getting the download but I cannot launch it. I have not found any installer. When I trace back through the system logs the download does not show up in the Akami downloader although I have two complete error-less downloads now. Can anyone help?

what's your os?

Labview executable installer cannot find windows favorites

When attempting to install an LabVIEW executable, using the Installer created with LabVIEW, before copying any files or making any changes to the local PC, the setup.exe queries for the location ‘My Favorites’ from the registry (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders\Favorites). If this has been moved to a mapped network drive, the setup will error saying that it is unable to access this location. Using Sysinternals Process Monitor, the setup.exe process does not try accessing this location.
Thanks in advance for any help

But why have favorites mapped like that in the first place?
Possible reasons:
1) Internal IT procedures
2) floating user account setups across the entire network
It's not uncommon to do these things but I have found to many problems with this also outside of LabVIEW to find it a practical solution.

Solaris Install (Sparc) cannot find disk

When I do a 'boot cdrom' from the OK prompt, it goes through installation, but stops about 50% in saying 'no disk detected, check connection, etc..'
There is a disk, and the installed hard drive was formatted using a command string in linux by the vendor, but the Solaris install doesn't see it.
Any ideas?

jkcwong, is that the message:
<pre>
SunOS Secondary Boot version 3.00
prom_panic: Could not mount filesystem
Entering boot debugger:
[12ff05]:
</pre>
you get when you boot from the DCA floppy? According to some sun
engineer that's a
solaris bug (bug
4344312), and the upcomming patches
108822-02 / 110930-01 are expected to fix this problem.
Since the problem is ACPI related, perhaps your bios has an option to
disable ACPI support?

SJSAS PE 9.0 installer cannot find JDK 1.5.0.06 under 64bit SuSE 10.1

Hello,
How can I get the SJSAS PE 9.0 to start running under SuSE 10.1 on AMD64? The installer complains about not being able to find a suitable JRE even though I have JDK 1.5.0.06 installed. I even tried the the -javahome directive but nothing happened. I updated the JAVA_HOME variable so that it refers to the directory where the JDK is installed. Moreover, I updated the PATH variable so that JAVA_HOME/bin is the first directory in the list.

If you are pointing installer to 64 bit JDK installation, its version won't be properly recognized by installer (note that this platform is not on the supported platform list).
Take a look here for possible workaround:
https://j2ee-sdk.dev.java.net/howtos/J2EE_SDK_Installation_HOWTO.html#p4
(you need steps for manual unzipping and running of Java based installer - just replace ./package/jre/bin/java references with your external Java installation)

Installer cannot find the database instance

I am installing SCSM 2012 R2, but when I try to connect to the database it gives incorrect instance names. We have two instances, one is the default and one is a named instance. But instead of showing the named instance name it says "Default2".
Its exactly what's happening in this blog:
http://adinermie.wordpress.com/2014/03/26/service-manager-2012-r2-installation-fails-to-identify-sql-server-instance-and-throws-access-denied-error/
Even in the setup logs it is listing instances that are incorrect. It says "ServerName\ServerName, port" instead
of "ServerName\InstanceName, Port". The blog author didn't have a real solution except to re-install SQL.
Is this a bug? And suggestions?
- Get on the floor, do that dinosaur

I ran the command line install and it was successful.
I created the same circumstances in my lab while the install was going to see if I could re-create the situation, and I did. It appears that the GUI installer gets confused by the name of the named instance - MSSQLSERVER2. In the drop down it shows Default2
and the error is "Access to SQLServer\SQLServer2 is denied." So I'm guessing that the installer just sees the MSSQLSERVER portion of MSSQLSERVER2, assumes its a default instance and looks for the server named instance which doesn't exist rather than the named
instance.
Bottom line is that the installer has a few kinks.

Dual boot Mac OS X and Arch: Arch installer cannot find CD drive?

Hi, everyone! A friend convinced me to install Arch about a month ago on my desktop and I've loved it so much that I want to dual boot Mac OS X and Arch on my Macbook Pro 7.1.
So I have a Macbook Pro 7.1. I have partitioned the drive in Mac OS X and installed rEFIt. I have the Arch x86_64 disk which I know works because I installed Arch on another computer.
When I boot from CD I get the familiar Arch screen with options "Boot Arch Linux, existing OS... etc." I click boot Arch, and it starts to load. However, it says "Waiting 30 seconds for device /dev/disk/by-label/ARCH_201005 ... ERROR: boot device didn't show up after 30 seconds... Falling back to interactive prompt. /bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off."
After searching around the forums, some people said they had similar problems attempting to install via USB. I used "cat /proc/scsi/scsi" and my CD drive does not show up in ramfs.. What can I do to install this amazing OS on my MB Pro 7.1?
Thank you for your time!
