Startup Problem, won't boot off hard drive from earlier Mac.

A while back I had an Intel mac and I loaded and installed all of my apps onto the hard drive. I then sold that Intel but kept the drive and continued to work on my G5 quad for a while.
I intended on installing the hard drive from the first Intel machine in the next one I got. Now I just got a 2X2.26 Quad Core which boots up fine with the disk it came with. When I try to boot up the machine on the previous Intel drive (it has 10.5.3 on it and it shows up in startup disk in sys prefs) all I get is the light gray screen but no apple logo. It just stays like that.
I have repaired the permissions with disk utility and it seems all is well. I would love to be able to just boot up with that disk as it's authorized and it would save me days of installing and authorizing software.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

Looks like you need 10.5.6 at least.

    The device may be formatted for Windows, as NTFS. The format is readable, but not natively writable on a Mac. To write to the device, you must either reformat it (erasing all the contents) or install third-party software to enable write access to NTFS.

  • I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection.

    I'm trying to clone a internal hard drive from another mac using a usb connection to an external drive so that I don't lose the file before reinstalling the software but I keep on getting a message:
    "Restore Failure
    Source volume is read-write and cannot be unmounted, so it can't be block copied."
    Any advice on how to make a copy of this internal drive?
    Thanks!
    ....also the internal hard drive i am trying to copying run on a mac os x 10.5 and i'm reinstalling the software because the computer is not starting and only shows a grey folder with a question marks inside.

    I've had my Maxtor external OneTouch 250GB for about 18 months now and it hasn't skipped a beat. I have hear of people having their Maxtor drive just up and die but you will probably find that goes for all manufacturers.
    By the way, Maxtor is, amongst others, an OEM supplier to Apple.

  • Networking a firewire hard drive from a Mac and access the drive from a PC

    I'm trying to network a firewire hard drive from my Mac and access that hard drive from a Windows XP PC. I can see the main internal hard drive but I cannot see the firewire hard drive. Does anybody have a solution or work around?
    Many thanks,
    Roy

    Thanks SO MUCH! Not only does it work, BUT IT IS FREE!!!!
    See, I have two firewire (external) HDs, connected to a Mac, connected to a PC, connected to a USB external HD... now I can share files from the USB HD to the firewire HDs!
    Gotta love technology!

  • Lombard won't boot to Hard Drive

    I erased and installed 10.3, once that is done it restarts and works great. Then after I turn it off, or restart again, or unplug AC adapter from the wall it will not boot to hard drives, boots to the circle slash. I booted to install cd and ran disk utilities then when I restart nothing. The only time I can get the powerbook to work is right after I install 10.3. The date/time is always remembered, but I do have a dead battery - won't hold charge at all. Thinking about buying battery, just really thought I should be able to run the laptop on ac adapter. Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

    TJ,
    Welcome to the Discussions.
    See if the suggestions in this article, especially the resetting of the PRAM and power manager help:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106805
    One issue the Lombard suffers more than other black G3s is a failed backside L2 cache. Once you are up and running again, go to the System Profiler > Hardware and see if it reports either 512K or 1MB of L2 cache or is missing. If this is the case, resetting the power manager, at least when running 9.x, will allow a successful start, but of course the problem is still present.
    If you have a bootable OS 8.6 > 9.2.2 CD, and from a cold start, not restart, boot to the CD and see if you get a warning dialogue that there is a problem with RAM or cache memory.

  • K8n won't boot off ATA drive

    So with all this talk of unlocked SATA busses limiting o/c, and my frustration getting the bus over 240 with 5:6 (or even 2:3), or 225 with 1:1 I thought I'd give using an old ATA drive a shot.
    But the board won't boot off it.
    I've tried several installs of XP, formated clean for fat or ntfs, clean or quick, each time after windows copies over all the files and does it's first reboot, the board can't find the OS on the HD.
    NTFS and FAT give slightly different error messages but the error is something like can't find operating system, or bad operating system.
    Not your can't find ntldr or anything that would look software related.
    I even moved the hd from the computer back to my main rig after one of these installs, and it went right into the install program where it shoulld have been.

  • Computer won't boot; no hard drive spin up; no target mode; refuses cd.

    Our "other" house computer, an iMac 400 DV, vintage 1999, worked fine until just a little while ago. Last used this morning to send e-mail, it now will not boot. Hard drive does not spin up. After pushing power button, light (behind button) comes on, but no further activity ensues. Cannot be started in target disk mode. Utility CD cannot be inserted, either before or after pushing power button. My guess is that HD is "OK" (such as that is after 10 years), but that power is not getting to bus that drives it or CD drive.
    How to find broken connection, if that what it is, is the problem.
    Wise counsel or off the wall guesses are welcome.
    Thanks.
    Leonard
    (p.s.: in one or more other forums, I posted questions in the last few months; subsequently I have been indisposed, as they say. My apologies to anyone who may have written with helpful tips and to whom I have not yet replied. I am way behind in correspondence and beg your indulgence until I can sit still long enough to type a few words in reply (hopefully after I've tried your suggestions).

    Pismo is great. It's still my portable Mac, and as long as I don't try to play "HD" video in full screen mode on YouTube or Hulu, it is perfectly fine for most things I do. It still does not look old when I pull it out in a public place. Recent switchers with their MacBooks are probably wondering why the Apple logo is up-side-down.
    My G4 card is the one that was sold by FastMac. 550 MHz. It is noticeably faster because Mac OS X and applications (such as for video processing) use the vector processing unit in the G4. But because the clock speed is not that different from the original 500 MHz G3, it's not a drastic end-to-end type of improvement.
    When the CPU is being loaded to max, it does get hotter than the stock G3, so the fan comes on more often. The problem with today's Internet is the use of Flash animations in banner and sidebar ads. Those things put unnecessary load on my Pismo's CPU. For modern computers, that extra load is no big deal, but it matters to a 550 MHz G4. I would just turn Flash off, but there are things that I do want to see that use Flash.
    I got it at the FastMac booth at the Macworld Expo a few years ago for the +show price+, so it has been worthwhile to have it.

  • Can I move hard drives from one Mac Pro to another?

    I have two mid-2010 Mac Pros that I work with daily - one 8-core on 10.7.3 and one 12-core on 12.7.4.  I would like to take all of the drives out of one Mac Pro and put them in the other and vice versa, essentially trading their content.  It probably sounds pointless, but I would like to build the more powerful one out from scratch, and right now the less powerful one is nearly empty.
    Can I simply shut off both machines and swap all of the drives in one for all of the drives in the other?  I would keep them in the same bays in the machine I'm trading them with, but I'm unsure if I will screw something else up.

    I've moved drives from a Mac Pro 1,1 to a 5,1 and they were able to boot the newer Mac, but to ensure that the OS was configured for the newer machine, I ran the appropriate combo updater once the drive was installed. If you're planning to stick with the drive rotation, doing that shouldn't hurt and might help even though the machines are of the same vintage. Note, however, that some commercial software keys in on machine specifics and/or the serial number to prevent piracy, so swapping drives can cause other problems.

  • EMac won't boot to hard drive - Flashing Folder at Startup

    I did have this eMac working with this Hard Drive months ago. Now I just get the Folder with the Flashing icon at Startup. So I installed OSX Tiger on a Firewire External Drive & it Works perfectly running from the FW HD. The Internal Hard Drive then shows up on Desktop. I run Disc Permissions & Verifications on the Internal Drive & everything comes up Perfect. It just won't Boot to the Internal Hard Drive. I even used Super Duper to make a Clone of the Firewire Hard Drive that is running, but Still I get the Flashing Folder with The Finder Face, when I unplug the Firewire Drive & attempt to boot from Internal HD. Any clue? Thank you in advance.

    I run Disc Permissions & Verifications on the Internal Drive
    Run Repair Disk on the eMacs internal disk.
    If it passes then open the System preferences > Startup Disk and select the eMac's disk.

  • IMac G5 won't boot to hard drive or cd

    Please, someone help me.
    My iMac G5 crashes (power is lost completely) during boot every time, about 10 seconds after the cog-wheel progress indicator comes on. When I try booting to a cd by holding down the option key, the only boot device that shows is the hard drive.
    I have replaced the ram.....twice. No luck. And, yes, I pushed the ram in really hard.
    I hooked my hard drive up to my friends hackintosh to use the disc utiliity and this is what I get:
    "Invalid Key Lenght
    Invalid node structure
    Volume check failed
    Filesystem verify or repair failed"
    I bought the imac off craigs list a year ago, and I didn't get the original leopard disc, but I've tried diskwarrior and other bootable repair tools, and the mac never seems to see them. I've even tried using them in an external CD drive with no luck. I don't want to go buy OS X if my mac isn't going to read the disc.
    Any suggestions as to what is going wrong and how I can fix it?

    Thanks for posting back, gld your problems were solved. It's always a good idea to have an external firewire backup/clone (I use SuperDuper!), you could have booted from that.

  • Ibook g4 won't boot, but hard drive seems fine

    I have a ibook g4,800mhz. osx 10.4.8
    On start up i get the folder & question mark. I have tried the following.
    1) i booted with an os install disk. disk utilities reported the drive was ok it but couldn't see a disk partition so disk first aid had nothing to do.
    2) next i ran disk warrior which had the same probably, it could see the hard drive, reported that the drive was functioning, but saw no partition.
    3) finally i gave up and reformatted the disk, and re installed an os. this worked for 48 hours at which time the problem came back.
    4) i can put the laptop in firewire mode connect it to a desktop and access the hard drive. I can format the disk using apple disk tools, i can install an new os, but after all this it still won't boot from the internal hd.
    5) I reset the pram. also tried starting up with the option key down .. no hard drive is visible when i do this.
    So the hard drive seems to work ok. Two different disk utilities see the hard drive and think its functioning ok. OSx installer runs without complaint, but the &$%! won't boot from the hd.
    Anybody got any suggestions?

    ...this worked for 48 hours at which time the problem came back...
    This is the time period that I was commenting on. If something was used during that time that corrupted the OS, it would cause the situation you are in.
    If everything is perfect with the OS then something is wrong with the hard drive or the motherboard's interface to the hard drive.

  • MacBook won't boot off Firewire drives

    i just got a MacBook and couldn't be more pleased but i just tried to use the Firewire drive to boot from but it doesn't show up as option for restart. the drives( i tried two) are loaded with 10.4.10 and show up on the desktop and work fine but it's odd the Mac won't boot from them. had no issue connecting to my Pismo. both show up as start up discs. i looked in the forums but didn't see this issue brought up. a little help please.

    Yup. Alternatively, you can 'clone' the MB's internal hd to the external firewire hd. Two of the most widely used methods of achieving this are:

  • Permission problems in my newly installed hard drive from iMac 1 TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program. Is that normal?

    Just got back my iMac with a brand new replacement hard drive through the iMac 1 TB Seagate Hard Drive Replacement Program. With only apps installed, no files and fonts added, the hard drive already shows permission problems. Is that normal? The replacement hard drive is a Seagate again, ST31000528BAS. Do people like their replacement hard drive?

    Just now looking at these... Last recall 2009 MacbookPro Video issues, I waited 4 years and it took 4 trips to apple store with video of the machine problems... Days and months past, finally with stern discussion with manager, got resolved. Now Drive recall on work machine... better take advantage now. IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT!
    Should have thought of it... Have TM full back up... (will look into clone next time, now that I see this). Take in 27iMac running 10.6.8, 5-7 days, what a joke, my boss will be happy to pay for a week without working. Finally get, "if you have TM back up, 3 days." Get machine back with 10.6.3, hit the R recovery, click TM back up, runs for 2 hours, reboots, looks great. Box up take back to office... update to install - OH CRAP, still running 10.6.3. Updates crash with error on install, BUG PROBELM, nothing runs.
    Call Apple... after hours, tells me to boot using 10.6.2 disk, wipe, reinstall OS, udate to 10.6.8, THEN do the restore. GREAT! Only thing 10.6.2 DVD won't read... now back on phone... take back to the store, Genius says, "Oh, can't boot a newer system w/ old disk, that's why it won't read." PROMISES it'll be fixed, if you leave it over night... GREAT!
    Pick up next day, supposedly, booted to disk, wiped drive, reinstalled, updated to 10.6.8 and did the RIGHT restore... Looks GREAT... apps run and 10.6.8 OS. Back to the office... CRAP!! not running right... fonts messed up, drop box app needs new install, cocktail needs upgrade, Fetch not working, memorized paths gone... back ups locked out of permissions... ***!!
    4 hours on phone with apple and still not solved. Evidently... either different account names caused problems... and/or they never restored personal "settings". Seems there are 3 ways to restor... Running Migration Assistant, Restoring after they load a new OS... or NOW WAITING for them to send me a bootable 10.6.3 disk and then boot from disk, w/o installing OS and doing a restore from TM.
    Can begin to make enough stink!! So now can't back up without doing a full 400 GB back up and possibly destroying any good back ups... can't work, liek having hands tied behind back. WAITING for solution! TICKED OFF!!!

  • Can I boot a pulled hard drive from a Mac Pro on an external dock?

    I have a 2008ish Mac Pro that has a dead video card and a few other problems.  Luckily, the hard drive is still functioning.  Is it possible to pull the drive and boot it using an external dock in order to image the drive so I can use it on another computer?

    Yes.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
      1. Open Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag
           it to the Destination entry field.
      5. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to
          the Source entry field.
      6. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means an external drive. Source means the docked drive.

  • Re: Problem accessing Lacie d2 Extreme Hard Drive from my desktop

    The hard drive is connected to firewire port either a 800 or 400. It mounts on my desktop but closes right away when I try to access it. i didn't have this problem before until this afternoon when i tried downloading a mp3 directly to Lacie while it was still streaming...not a good thing i realized.
    I tried the hard drive on another computer, i was able to open it fine; tested it using different firewire cable, that didn't work, and i even reinstalled Tiger, that didn't solve the problem either.
    I am little anxious because the drive's got all my stuff on it. Please help?

    I think you might be right Patrick. I did reformat the drive and it seemed to respond quicker to being launched, but I was still having my "Initializing Log and Cap" dialog box freeze up.
    So, first thing I did was go online and make sure I had all the current software updates and it turned out there was an iMac Firmware update (I admit, I'm not so savvy as to understand exactly what a firmware really is, but I felt it must be important..)
    Anyway, after getting all the current updates I went back into Final Cut Pro and tried to capture. Just to make sure things were on the up and up, I started checking my system, user, and audio/video settings.
    In the process of checking my settings I started getting "the pinwheel of death". (The mouse pointer was just spinning away..) I tried just turning my camera off and it suddenly unfroze!
    I tried to log and capture and when I got the same problem of freezing windows, turning my camera off unfroze everything. Weird.
    The messed up part is that the camera is only an issue when my New Lacie drive is mounted by itself. When only my old Lacie Drive is mounted the Log and Capture window sees my Canon Optura 60 just fine. When both drives are mounted, sometimes a project file from my old Lacie will let me capture from my Canon or it will just claim there's no device control.
    I'm thinking the only solutions is to go out and buy me a cheap handheld from Wal-Mart and to make sure it's any other brand than Canon. Maybe Panasonic?
