T430s 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy not working

Hi all,
I bought 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy for my T430s but it does not seem to work.
The HDDs I placed in it do not even start to spin, and they are not recognized by the laptop BIOS as also by my OSes, Windows and Linux.
The label on the caddy says it is P/N 26r9247, but at this stage I'm not sure is a compatible part or if I got just a faulty item.
Any feedback?

That part number (26R9247) is for the older T60/61 Thinkpads. You need the Ultrabay III adapter. Look at 43N3412.

T43 2nd Hard Drive Bay Caddy not working

I installed a generic ultra bay caddy and the new drive isn't recognized.
It works fine in an external enclosure.
Any suggestions?

Hello,
Do other Ultrabay caddies work in the T43 or does this one work in other ThinkPads?

The caddies for a T60/61 (also R and Z series) will work if you remove a plastic tab that prevents them from being inserted in a T4x or R5x series. The faceplate looks slightly different but it's not objectionable looking when installed.

Ejecting problem on my 2nd SATA Hard Drive Bay Caddy

I am having an ejecting problem with my caddy secondary HD.
Basically every time I close the lid, the secondary HD is ejected or, in case ejecting fails, I obtain an error message..very annoying situation.
How can windows 7 avoid to eject it? Do you know a best practice to configure properly the 2nd SATA Hard Drive Bay Caddy??
Thanks in advance!

Really sorry, I didn't explain properly: I was talking about Ejecting OS side (windows 7 eject my secondary HD when I close my laptop, consequence is that I don't see it anymore in Computer).
ejecting is when you press here

Hard Drive Bay (Caddy) and drive for T430

Very confused about what the recommended HDD Caddy for T430 is. (to swap DVD drive with a 2nd HDD)
Also, is there a non Lenovo HDD that works with this? 1 TB drive preferred.
Thanks.

Ultrabay caddies come in two thicknesses, 12.7mm for T430 and T530 (0A65623), and 9.5mm for T430s (43N3412.)
You can buy these from Lenovo or you can get "clone" caddies quite inexpensively on eBay, e.g. 9.5mm Bezel SATA 2nd HDD Hard Drive caddy bay for T400s T500 T410s X200 is $10 for a 9.5mm unit. This is what I have in my T430s. A 9.5mm caddie will fit into your T430 but will leave a small gap at the top. You can search to see what 12.7mm caddies are available.
I haven't tested the clone caddies with HDDs larger than 500GB. There's no reason they won't work. Note that the HDD must be no thicker than the caddy in order to fit physically. Since you have a T430 with 12.7 Ultrabay opening this shouldn't be an issue for you either.

Hard drive broke. ipod not working with new computer

Hello,
My computer hard drive recently died on me.
I got a new hard drive installed and I downloaded a new version of itunes (I think the latest) but when I connect my ipod to my computer, although it turns on the ipod, my computer isn't reading the ipod. I tunes isn't being started up and when I start it up manually it doesn't read my ipod either.
Someone at work here suggested it may be that the version of itunes I have installed is not compatible with the ipod I have. My ipod is a couple of years old at least. Can that be possible?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I have the exact same problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Hard drive and usb not working

Greetings,
My notebook is cq60-214dx compaq presario with a windows vista basic operating system. I have pentium dual core inside.
Recently, My usb stop working, there is nothing else hooked up to it for the past year. It is not detecting my flash drive. I did the shut down and unplug thing. I also did the F10 bios test and the hard drive test failed at 61%. I went into the usb root hub and it shows each one is fine and is at 0 mA. The only thing that I see is the microsoft Isatap adapter code 31. A toredo tunneling pseudo interface -code 10 with a caution sign. I 've tried the hp down load and all kind of suggestions that is not working. Is there something I can try to fix the hard drive. I'd like to eventually go to windows 8 operatiing system but I am not fearful.

Hi newbie-515,
Unfortunately, the failure code for the hard drive is fortelling you of what is to come. In my opinion I would address the solution by the following specific actions:
1: Back up any data that can be accessed from the original drive, onto an external hard drive. To minimize the risk of losing any information.
2: Replace the failing hard drive, before it gets to the point of complete failure. This may also prevent loss of personal data.
and 3: Decide whether you want to upgrade/restore Microsoft Windows 7 onto the pc. That particular pc has current drivers available online at HP Support for the Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.
Once this has been completed, then you can recover any personal data that was backed up to the external hard drive, onto the newly installed hard drive.

How to access internal hard drive with screen not working

Veteran Mac user from Spain,
I am a graphic designer and i have a MacBook Pro 17 inch Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz (Santa Rosa) which i purchased in October of 2007 along with a 23 inch Apple Cinema HD Display Monitor which i have hooked up to my MacBook when i am working at home. About 2 months ago the right hand ventilator started making a very loud noise but because i had a lot work on i did not have time to send it away to be fixed. Then about a month ago the fan stopped working and i was very concerned that my MacBook was going to overheat but to my surprise the temperature never rose above 60 degrees, so i continued to work and every thing seemed to be okay. But a couple of weeks ago i was online and the computer suddenly froze up and when i restarted it all i got was a black screen on both the MacBook and the Cinema Display Monitor. The hard disk seems to boot correctly and the keyboard on the MacBook also is responsive (volume, brightness controls, caps/number lock, etc… are all responsive and the retroilumination on the keyboard also works). So on reading up on the forums i discovered that the graphics card NVIDIA 8600M GT is in fact faulty. I called apple and explained the problem and they told me that i will also have to replace the logic board.
On discovering the problem i realised that it would take a while to be fixed and i would need another Mac to continue working. So last week last week i purchased a Mac Mini and hooked it up to my Cinema Display and everything is working fine, BUT i desperately need to access my work folder on my MacBook's internal drive.
Can anybody tell me how to transfer the files from my MacBook (late 2007) to my Mac Mini without the screen working on my MacBook?
If it helps, my MacBook is running Leopard 10.5.8 and the Mac Mini is running Lion 10.7.2. The Mac Mini has an Intel i5 processor 2.3 GHz.
I would really appreciate the help, it is very urgent and i need to find a very quick solution, clients depend on it.

Thank you very much for your swift response.
I am going to try the second option that you propose because as i mentioned in my first post, i had my MacBook Pro hooked up to my Apple Cinema HD Display monitor and both screens were black.
Just one question…
Will the hard drive need an extrenal power source?
I am guessing that it will use the Mac Mini's power supply but i just want to make sure.
Thanks again! You have been most helpful.

Formatted WD Elements external hard drive for mac, not working

Hey.
So i recently got a new television and found that i could plug my WD Elements hard drive into it and watch my movies etc.
the hard drive hadnt been updated in a while, so last time i had updated it was before we got a mac. i plugged it in the other day to put new things on it and my mac recognized it but it said it was read only and wouldnt allow me to put new things onto it. After doing a bit of googling i realized i needed to format it. I thought i would give it a go see what happened. after looking on the forums i formatted it through either exFAT or NTFS. and my hard drive changed to read & write and i could put my things onto it. But when i plugged it into the tele it said no media was found(still recgonized my hd though)
I'm guessing ive done something wrong. i just don't know exactly what. any tips or suggestions on what to do next would be much appreciated! thanks
oh and my mac's version is 10.9.1

You did nothing wrong, you just need to find a format that can be shared by the Mac and your TV.
Mac can work with Mac formats (HFS), and Windows formats (FAT and NTFS), but NTFS will be only read only.
So your TV set, read NTFS but perhaps not FAT?, and your mac cannot write NTFS.
In order to write to NTFS devices, you must install one and only ONE of this comercial software:
Tuxera or Paragon

Need to wipe hard drive, Lion Recovery not working

I've been having problems with this mac and want to completely wipe my hard drive and only put on the Lion operating system, my itunes music, iphoto folders, and a few folders that are already backed up on an external hardrive. My cd-rom drive doesn't work, so I need to use the online Lion Recovery to safely reinstall lion after I clear my hard drive. When I restart and hold down CMD-R, it doesn't bring me to the Lion Recovery/Disk Utility window. It only shuts down after a while. I've tried this many times and I'm not sure why I can't get into the partition so I can reinstall Lion without using a disk. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, if you could tell me exactly how to put on the select items above (not an entire system backup) that would be great. I just need a complete computer makeover because it's a 2008 macbook pro and its been slowing down a lot. Thanks!

Well by the sounds of it you have a hardware problem of some sort, perhaps not.
Your going to need a friends Lion Mac and Admin access to do this trick to copy thier Recovery HD to a USB thumb drive

https://support.apple.com/kb/dl1433
Once you have that you can option boot off the Recovery USB and wipe your entire drive (use the Disk Utiilty > Erase and one selection from the right to securely erase and map off failiing sectors, takes longer but better for your drive and data), then install Lion from Apple's servers with your Apple ID and password.
Setup with the same User name (different password ok) if you want to preserve your iTunes playlists, next hook up your storage drive and return files into their old Music, Pictures etc folders.
No settings will be transfered or anythng else, you set up everything fresh and new again, aka "Erase and Fresh install method" of #20 here

Later you should be looking at making a option key bootable clone with Carbon Copy Cloner to another blank external drive, this way you can boot off of it and reverse clone in case of problems.

Audigy 2 zs platinum front drive bay mic2 not worki

hey all I finally got my AD_EXT wire to make my audigy 2 card work with the front dri've bay but the problem now is I am in vista ultimate 32bit, all drivers installed right, all cables plugged in but the mic2 is not working....... I'm using a dynamic mic Samson Q7 microphone with the XLR cable. This microphone I heard does not need a preamp so it should powered up.
I called creative and the guy supposed to send me a article to read to fix it but so far no luck in my email about it.
anyone staff members here know the link to that article?

Maybe this will help out:? Under Control Panel ---> Sounds and Audio Devices --> Hardware I have the following list. CD-RW SOHR-5239SDVD_RW ND-3550AMPU-40 Compatible MIDI DeviceUnsupported Standard Game Port - Location: on PCI BusCreative SB Audigy 2 ZS (WDM) - Location PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 5, Device 7, Funtion 0)Creative Game Port - Location: PCI Slot 2 (PCI bus 5, device 7, function )Audio CodecsLegacy Audio DriversLegacy Video Capture DevicesVideo Codecs?All of them are listed as "Working Properly". The MPU-40, the unsupported game port, creative SB Audigy 2 ZS, Audio codecs, legacy Audio Drivers, and the Creative Game port were all uninstalled prior to my latest re-installation. When the windows install wizard popped up, I cancelled, so everything on that list was installed using the latest creative ZS Platinum driver for x64.

Time machine external hard drive in windows not working.

I recently bought a Western Digital external hard drive to use with time machine so that I would have my laptop backed up. When I set up the time machine, it had to format my hard drive, erasing the WD files that were on the drive. I was able to continue using it as an external storage device on the Mac side of my laptop, but when trying to use it on the windows side, it wont show up in My Computer. I'm starting to wonder if I will be unable to use this external drive on anything other than a Mac now that it is set up as my Time Machine.
If that is the case, is there a way that I can reset my drive to not show up as my Time Machine Disk.
Thanks,
JT

If you're going to use the drive on both platforms, does it need to be set up first on the PC, allocating 1/2? to Windows NTFS format, then disable/reset/delete Time Machine backups doing the Mac HFS format thing on remainder of External?
Setup on my Acomdata 7200rpm External is Mac 150GB HFS, Windows 150GB NTFS. On Windows side, is Vista, W7 (32 &64Bit) and recently my daughter's HP Laptop XP which posed a problem until I found that NtBackup.Msi was in VALUEADD folder on the Windows XP install CD. Also available from Microsoft if no install CD. NtBackup makes a .BKF string of the hard drive, runs maybe a little slower than Vista & Windows 7 Backup/Restore Maint. Long time since I restore a .BKF but think it requires an OS - unlike Vista + Windows 7 where the install Disk will retore from External in ~30 minutes.
I have not figured out how to get Leopard restored short of format, then complete (re)install with Time Machine restore kicking in at the end of that process. Takes a great deal of time and some things need fixing after completion. Wondering if Snow Leopard/Disk Utility has any improvements on this score. Refuse to pay for anything that I consider to be intrisically necessary to use of product.

Java applets won't load, have latest version of java installed, have removed all old versions from the hard drive, java console not working in firefox, any suggestions please ?

Hi,
You might want to look in your control panel for 'Java' icon. It should give you an option to enable java plugin into your browser. Let me know if you still face the issue.

New hard drive - Disk Permissions not working

Recently had my Hard Drive relplaced, and while updating ran in to multipul issues.
The main one being with iTunes, I can't download songs I purchased from my iPhone & when I try to do it manually it tells me the my permissions need to be changed. So I ran a permissions verification on DiskUtility and it's telling me a whole bunch of stuff doesn't match up.
Should I run a repair?
Any other ideas?
Also, my last hard drive had no issue installing Mountain Lion, and this one refuses.
Any one else have this issue?

MK6475GSX
Yes, that has AFT. See MKxx75GSX.
I uploaded all the drivers..
But the point is that when you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media, all the drivers are already properly installed. Everything should work as it originally did.
I would perform the restore again and immediately install this driver.
