SSD boot disk dilemma! now where to install the c-suite?!

Hi,
Just did some end of the line upgrades to an old AM2 PC. Most notably updated the RAM and got an SSD drive as my boot disk.
My question then, is should I install the entire 10gb or so creative suite on my boot disk, or one of my other terabyte regular drives?
I am concerned mainly about choking the throughput of my C: if I use it as an applications drive and I have traditionally nly ever used C: for my OS in order to minimise data loss in the case of OS death.
my setup is:
AMD X2 6000
6gb 800mhz DDR2 ram
ATI HD5770
1 OCZ vertex2 60gb SSD (c:)
2x WD terabyte 7200rpm
and my options are:
(1)
c:> Windows7+creative suite+scratch disk
(2)
c:> Windows7+ scratch disk
d:>Creative suite
(3)
c:>Windows7
d:>Creative suite
e:>Scratch disk
as you have no doubt noticed, 60gb is not suitable for an applications and OS disk, so this is quite a dillema as I am about to go through a short production phase using this old girl and I wanna treat her right!!
Thank you in advance!

No dilemma at all. OS & programs on your SSD. No doubt. SSD's don't suffer from performance degradation as fill rates go up, like SATA drives. 60 GB is more than enough and it would be worrisome if you used more than 40 GB, because then you would be overloading your not very fast machine with a lot of crap.
You know the rule: Keep it CLM. Clean, Lean and Mean.
If you look for performance improvements, consider an Intel based machine (i7-9xx) and as a minimum 12 GB memory.

Crash of my computer - How do I re-install the Adobe suite cc ?

Hello,
I need your help with the re-installation of the Adobe suite cc on a second computer.
My main computer has been out of service for several weeks. It can't be repaired and returned to service, forcing me to use my second backup computer on which I installed the Adobe suite.
I purchased a new computer that will become my main computer. How do I install the Adobe suite on new computer since it is impossible for me to restart my old computer to disable the Adobe suite?
Thank you for your help and understanding,
Regards,

Hi MATREKKER317,
I have checked your subscription, right now the subscription is active on two machines.
1. Pease launch any CC product from the second computer in which you can acccess the CC, go to help menu & "Deactivate".
2.Next install CC on 3rd computer,activate it.
3.Please log out & log back in of the ccdesktop app in the machine from where you had deactivated, launch any product, click on "license this software" prompt, sign & activate it again.
Hope it works, in case you have any issue, please contact Adobe at http://adobe.ly/yxj0t6.

Installing the master suite...

I recently installed the master suite and photoshop extentions and illustrator is not present. does anyone know how to rectify the situation. I thought that illustrator and photoshop came with the suite.

jamalburruss,
Can you tell us which version and where you bought this? While it is possibly a corrupted download (if you were courageous enough to buy it that way) legitimate Master
Collection
and all three
Creative
Suite versions include both Illustrator and Photoshop that are installed automatically with the rest of the applications, unless you specifically deselect them or already have them installed.

Do I need to re-install the WHOLE suite or can I just install just Encore and Premier Pro?????

I'm having a problem with my Encore and Premier Pro software. I have the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium CS5.1. Encore will not allow me to burn DVDS. I'm getting an 52102 error...won't allow it to finish writing...ALSO Premier Pro stops after capturing about 5 or 10 minutes of video and freezes...do I need to re-install my software??? and if I do... do I need to install the WHOLE suite or can I just install just Encore and Premier Pro????? I can burn and image file and it burns DVDs on my old Corel software so I know its not the burner or the DVDs I'm using..I am in the middle of a big project for kids at school really need to figure this out...not getting anywhere online. Can anyone help??? Has anyone had this problem? Hope I'm posting this to right place. THANKS!

I haven't had 52102 error, but seen it discussed. Here are a couple of links
Error = Sense Code 52102
Encore Hardware Error Sense Code 52102
Burning the iso file to the dvd may not be the same process as burning directly from Encore to dvd, and so may not exhibit the same error, if any. See response 1 in the first link.
As to the capture problem, look here

Where to install the boot loader?

Upon finishing the installation, you are given the chance to select wherte to install the bootloader.......
The same installation program recommends you to install it on sdb in example, instead of in sdb6.........
In my setup, /boot is sdb6, so: where should i install it? which pros and cons does it have to install it in one or in the other?
Thanks!

I have some system, i think its name is doors, or windows, something like that, in another separate disk.. lets say, sda......... so, i think the best choice is still to install that boot code on sdb directly, isnt it?
I will install it later when im back at home, and post any othe problems i am finding with the pertitions..... i think grub is getting a bit mad since i have 3 different disks sda, sdb and sdc.........
Thanks!!!

Used the wrong install disk and now it wont eject the disk

Alright I know that I'm an idiot but I made a boo boo.
I have a G4 powerbook (newer one with the superdrive) that needed a new hard drive. I changed the harddrive no problem but heres my problem:
I went to install the OS and I have a new MacBook, and I accidently put the disk for the MacBook in the PowerBook and now the Powerbook wont give it back! It doesnt have the little spot to stick a paperclip in and it gives you the cd back.
Obviously the computer cannot boot from the MacBook disk and I've tried EVERYTHING to get the disk to come out. But since the disk is mounted and is what the utilities are running off of it wont eject it.
I would open up my powerbook again and try to pry out the disk but i dont want to run the computer or the disk.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance.

"I can try this my only concern is that the disk utility is running from the boot disk and i have a feeling it wont eject the disk if the utility is running off the disk."
You may have a point there. That's why I recommended the Firewire, Target Disk Mode. I know it works. At least, that's the way I've always gotten out stuck disks. And in my case, most of the time, it's been when I've reformatted a drive and it has no startup volume or OS to startup from.
So, if you have a disc in there, it will not spit it out. (Not saying that other's suggestions won't work to do so).
Starting up in Target Disk Mode bypasses that function, booting up, so while it's connected to another Mac, it doesn't need the disc nor will it access it while on.
You might be able to do your own suggestion. But the external CD-ROM drive will have to be connected via FireWire in order for the Mac to recognize your installation disc as a startup volume. (Also, make sure installation disc is not a DVD as opposed to a CD... most installation discs in the latter G4 era were DVDs, if I'm correct-- especially Tiger).
In that case, when you startup, hold down the OPTION key so that you can choose which install disc to startup/boot from. Just make sure you choose the one that's in your external optical drive.
P.S. Did you HOLD DOWN the mouse button when starting up? You can't just click on it. Once you turn the Mac on, hold down the mouse button until the disc comes out, and don't let go.

Hi i had made internet recovery for my mac, and now trying to instal the osx on external hard disk

Hi , i had my mac showing the question mark box. So i made internet recovery, and now i'm trying to download the osx lion on external hard disk as it shows , but its failing again, i dont know why

mamdouh elchami,
which model MacBook Pro do you have? If I understand you correctly, you have already made a successful OS X Internet recovery to your internal disk, and now you would like to install Lion on an external disk. Was it Lion that you had successfully downloaded and installed to your internal disk?
