[Solved]Installing on two drives

I'm aware you can have a partitioned install on the one drive. I assumed you could do the same but with two hard drives and I have run into some trouble.
Is it in fact possible to have /dev/sda as the (/) root partition and /dev/sdb as the /home partition?
Is the mounting any different?
I was using;
mount /dev/sda /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb /mnt/home
then pacstraping to /mnt.
SOLVED; Mounting sda1 and sdb1 instead of sda and sdb, disks have 1 partition each taking up the entire volume.
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt
mkdir /mnt/home
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/home

How silly of me. That explains the problems I was having.
Thank you very much.

Can migration assistant install on two drives?

I am purchasing a new Mac Pro to replace my G5, and would like to use Migration Assistant to move everything. However, I am also considering for the new machine a SSD drive for boot, with everything else on a hard drive. Is it possible to have Migration Assistant move just the OS and apps to one drive, and everything else to a second drive? If possible, would I be playing with fire . Thanks.

Not easily. Both +Setup Assistant+ and the similar +Migration Assistant+ will only transfer to the volume you're running from.
Your best bet may be to use +Setup Assistant+ to transfer your apps and most user accounts and data to the SSD (perhaps omitting some large folders).
See How do I set up a new Mac from my old Mac or its backups? or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum.
Then either move some large things to the HD, or use Time Machine to restore the things you didn't transfer there (you'd need the +*Browse ...+* option, per #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, and restore to an alternate location, per #16 there).
Another option would be to transfer just an account and default folders to the SSD, copy the home folder to the HD, then use Time Machine to restore the other folders there.
Once everything's there, change the account location via System Preferences > Accounts: click the padlock to make changes, enter your Admin password, then right-click the account you want to move, select +Advanced Options+ and change the +Home directory.+ Do this very carefully, of course!

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

I have Adobe Photoshop CS5 installed in two computers. The hard drive of my home computer crashed and I had no time to deactivate the software. The hard drive needed to be formatted. How can I activate the software CS5 again ? Thank you for an answer.

If it's the same computer, same CPU and same HD, no de-activation or re-activation should be necessary.
Install from scratch and apply all updates manually.
Please do a forum search. I and others have repeatedly answered the question about failed updates of CS5 a whole bunch of times recently.
Bottom line: the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions. You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

The bottom of my 15" becomes hot after installing two drives. Is this normal

I recently installed a 128ssd into the hard drive slot and placed my 250 hdd drive into the optical bay. I have a mid-2009 macbook pro.
Everytime i use it, it becomes very hot in the bottom. Should i just take out the 250 hdd and use it as an external?

Like yea, two drives is going to double the heat.
But I'm surpised the SSD gets hot, guess they do.

[SOLVED] Problem with nvidia driver install/uninstall

A while ago I installed the 177.70 driver from nvidia's site, then I was trying to install the 177.80 and to remove the .70 first, I tried
sh NVIDIA-filename.177.70.run --uninstall
And the installer told me no nvidia driver was found. I haven't been able to install a newer driver since every time I tried X would give me a driver mismatch error on start-up. I am hesitant to manually remove any files, how would I fully get rid of 177.70 so I can install a newer one??
TIA

See script for the command you should be running:
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86-180.11-pkg1.run -a -q -s -N --no-opengl-headers
Assuming you're on 32-bit. To let Nvidia's installer sort out your mess.

Possible to install second hard drive in Pavillion p6110f

Hi,
Your PC has a hard drive cage that will accomodate two drives. This HP How-to document starting at Removing a Drive a hard drive will show you the process for removing the hard drive cage.
If you still want to use the Expansion Bay then you will need a 5.25" to 3.5" adapter bracket. NewEgg.com would carry such a bracket. You will also need a SATA data cable. This HP How-to article will give you an idea on how to use the Expansion Bay for a 5.25" device. Check up by the existing optical drinve for a spare SATA power connector. If one is not available then you will need to use a SATA power splitter.

Hi,
You need two cables, one is a sata cable:
http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/30305659/706331346/StarTech-com-6in-SATA-to-Right-Angle-SATA-Serial-AT...
This cable is only for data and connects the hdd to the SATA connector on the motherboard.
The other cable is for power:
http://www.itpartsdirect.com/startech-15-24cm-4-pin-molex-to-sata-power-cable-adaptor.html
This connects the hdd to the PSU.
You can also buy a combo cable like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00064GBT4/?tag=hydra0b-21&hvadid=9550951989&ref=asc_df_B00064GBT4
All you have to do now is to connect the hdd and that's it. Make sure that the primary drive with the operating system is connected to the primary SATA connector (I think there are numbers 1, 2, 3..)

Cannot Install NI-VISA Driver in Windows 7

Hi all,
Software is not exactly my strength, so I apologize if this question is poorly worded or trivial.
I am trying to use NI-VISA 4.6 to create a driver for a USB mouse. My eventual goal is to read off the raw positional data from the USB rather than read the mouse's position on the screen. This way I will be able to use the mouse to track distance traveled without having to worry about the cursor going off the edge of the screen. My VI will be working roughly along the lines of this one, which was so kindly offered by Intaris on this thread.
I am running into problems installing the driver I created with NI-VISA mostly following directions from here. I created the .inf driver and copied it to C:\Windows\inf. Since I am using Windows 7, I copied the Vista driver rather than the driver for earlier versions of windows (another user on the tutorial I linked to above said this worked). I selected my .inf file and clicked "install" from the right mouse button drop-down menu. I received an error message the first time I tried saying that the driver was not verified and proceeded anyway. No .pnf file was created in the inf folder (as I believe that it should have). I tried updating the driver for this particular mouse to the new driver I created in the device manager. Windows resisted, saying that it already had installed the best driver for the job.
So now I am not exactly sure what to do. I believe that other people have figured out how to get this to work, but I am clueless as to what I can do differently. Does anyone out there know what might be wrong? Does there need to be a .pnf file in order to get the driver to work?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for everyone's help. I think I finally found the solution .
I did a lot of fumbling with Windows and eventually I got a driver I created in NI VISA to be accepted. Since the whole thing was hacked together, I am having trouble determining the steps that got it to work. I am not sure that this list of steps is either entirely necessary or complete, but in the interest of helping out people with a similar problem, I will try to explain what I did to get the mouse to be read.
The key was probably uninstalling the mouse that I wanted to use for the project. I did this in the device manager, and then found the USB root hub that was running my device. I updated the driver through here rather than through the "Mouse" section. The information on how to do this is explained in more detail in these two KnowledgeBase articles:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/28C5E7D2E9FBB4CC86257536005A3692
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3C335141B64C038886257141000036F2?OpenDocument
I created the NI-VISA drivers and saved them in the default folder (under MyDocuments/National Instruments/NI-VISA) and installed them from there. I am not sure if the installation step was necessary. Then I updated the drivers as explained in the second linked KnowledgeBase article listed.
I think that the crucial step was uninstalling the mouse in the Device Manager. This might be the "firmware" mentioned in the KnowledgeBase article linked below, but the wording is so ambiguous that I thought I would have to uninstall the drivers.

How to set up my mac mini server to use two drives seamlessly?

I have a mid 2010 mac mini server, with OSX Lion installed. It has dual 500gb hard drives.
I've been moving all my important files to it, and I've always assumed that once I filled one disc, it would seamlessly transfer over to the other and continue backing up. This does not seem to be the case.
I'm at roughly 495gb of data, and when I try to move a 10gb file onto my server, it tells me that I don't have enough disc space to continue the operation.
What can I do to make use of both drives?
-Thanks

It sounds like what you're asking for is to have the two drives in a RAID 0, where the two 500 Gb drives look like a single 1 Tb drive. I'm not sure the exact procedure for installing RAID 0 on a mini's internal drives, but the process would involve backing up, reconfiguring for RAID (which destroys all data,) restoring data from the backup, and more risk than I would personally find acceptable. I'd expect to lose a full day with the backup and restore steps. I can guarantee, there will be pain.
Instead, I'd suggest looking at what's consuming the 500Gb, and seeing if there are particular folders that can be moved. For example, a shared folder is pretty easy. Copy it over. In file sharing setup, edit the share to point to the new location. Make sure remote users disconnect, and reconnect to the "new" share. When you're happy there is no data loss, delete the old location.
User's home directories can also move, but the process has a few more steps, and depends on how the accounts are built (local vs. OD)
If the majority of the data is in a single "your backup files" folder, shared or otherwise, then I would just set up a second folder on the second drive and write to it, leaving the first alone. If it is truly a backup, then you could make the first folder read-only at this point for extra protection. If you go the 2 folder route, keep in mind your boot drive is operating with 1% free space, I like my drives to have at least 15% free, and OS drives more like 25% (you'll find some range in recommended %-free, but most will agree 1% is too little) so move SOME stuff to the new folder, before closing the old.

Since installing Microsoft two step verification on my Outlook Account via my PC (Acer) I am unable to send emails on my iPad. I can neither remove two step verification or find a way to solve this. I would prefer to keep this email account as my prime one.

Satellite P750: Unable to install Bluetooth Stack driver on Windows 7 (x64)

Hello.
I own a *Satellite P750-02T* (Part no. *PSAY3A-02T001*).
In the order what I did:
1) I formatted its HDD and reinstalled OS to *Windows 7 x64 Ultimate SP1*.
Then I downloaded *ONLY BIOS and the drivers* from [its Downloads page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] :
2) I updated its BIOS to *v1.90* (the laptop came with v1.80)
3) I installed all the drivers:
- both LAN and WiFi
- Intel Chipset (latest available)
- all video drivers (Intel HD Graphics, NVIDIA Graphics, and Intel HDMI)
- Card Reader
- Realtek HD Audio (latest)
- Synaptics Touchpad
- USB3.0
- IR
- TV-Tuner
However, I'm *unable to install the Bluetooth driver (v8.00.06(T)* )...
When I run setup from the [above-mentioned page|http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p750/psay3a-02t001/download?os=25] it partially detects *'Bluetooth USB Controller-10 from TOSHIBA'* (USB\VID_0930&PID_0215&REV_001)
and then installation simply freezes displaying +'Installing the Bluetooth Driver. Please wait+.' and stays like that forever...
I also tried downloading a driver from [another location|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download-toshiba] for TOSHIBA notebooks - v8.00.02(T):
and followed installation instructions displayed under 'Details'
but there was the same outcome - the setup simply freezes...
Installing Hotfix (*KB978258*) recommended there didn't work either - the message '+The update is not applicable to your computer+' pops up.
And I understand why - this Hotfix is [already included|http://download.microsoft.com/download/E/B/A/EBA55FE2-373A-4351-9346-6D762B79AA69/Updates%20in%20Win7%20and%20WS08R2%20SP1.xls] into Service Pack 1 for MS Windows 7.
I spent hours searching on the Internet for a solution. Although there were some similar cases none of the recommendations actually worked. I tried installing:
- WiFi driver before installing Bluetooth (someone suggested that those two are the parts of the same card);
- resuming installation in Safe Mode;
- *Toshiba Value Added Package* hoping those tools somehow will kick in.
Nothing worked...
It's interesting that when for the sake of experiment I tried to run installation for my generic Bluetooth adapter (using the driver [for non-TOSHIBA notebooks|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/index.php?page=download]) then everything run smoothly!
*Using Bluetooth connection on this laptop is very crucial for me.*
I hope I shall not have to return this wonderful notebook as I know TOSHIBA is one of the best manufactures and am sure there is a solution to this problem.
Thank you very much.
Evgeny.

Selective self-test flags (0x0):
After scanning selected spans, do NOT read-scan remainder of disk.
If Selective self-test is pending on power-up, resume after 0 minute delay.
So it's like I want to continue watching a movie from external drive and then player crashes because my hard disk partitions got unmounted...
I'm wondering if it can happen because disk is underpowered (it's connected only to one USB port because I lost my original USB cable which had two USB plugs). Anyway it would be strange as problem occurs also when disk is 'idle' so then the power consumption is also lower I assume. I can only say this disk was working just fine when used as internal drive. Any ideas?

Your recommendation to check cable was just - a good recommendation I played a little bit with the B connector and disk immediately stopped working. OMG it was so simple ;p Thanks. I have to buy a new cable (I hope the case is all right).
EDIT:
Confirmed with portable mp3 player. Cable (B connector) is damaged.
I just won't delete this thread as it's a perfect example to show that basic stuff and simplest things should be always checked first !
