UNABLE TO SELECT DRIVE TO INSTALL
This issue has never happened on my previous installation of Adobe Reader, after downloading via the download manager, the installation process is detecting my F:\ to install, which is my external HDD and i have removed it from the USB port and tried again, it is still installing on F:\.
Then it shows "Error 1327 .Invalid Drive: F:\", which I don't have it connected, netiher do I wish to install it onto that drive.
Is there any other way of selecting to which drive I can install onto?
PLEASE HELP!!
I had a similar problem: when installing Adobe reader via the doenload manager
I received an error message Invalid Drive F: (and nothing more)
My F: drive is a network drive mapped to a synology NAS.
After fooling around some time I discovered a map on my PC (C:\Users\Public\Desktop\Adobe 9 Reader-installatieprogramma) in which a setup.exe. Running this setup reveiled a somewhat more detailed error message: the error on the f: drive occurred when the setup program was trying to estimate free space.
In this map I also found a file AcroRead.msi. running this installer file installed the reader on my system.

Installation from 10.6.8 - unable to select HD to install Yosemite
Hi all,
I have an old MacBook6,1 of 2009 (the white one), with a 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory, 250GB of storage capability (100GB free), currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I'm trying to upgrade to Yosemite 10.10 (my hardware and software are both ok to do the upgrade, I checked it). The download from the appstore went ok, but when I launch the installation app and I am asked to select the volume in which I want to install the OS, I'm not able to select my "Macintosh HD" unity (the icon is light grey), and if I try to click on it anyway, a message appears: "Impossible to use this volume to start the computer" (actually my mac is in italian so I reported the translation of the original message: "Impossibile utilizzare questo disco per avviare il computer").
I found out that some people had the same problem with the installation of Lion (OS X Lion: il programma di installazione indica "Impossibile utilizzare questo disco per avviare il computer" - Supporto…), but all the proposed solutions rely on the possibility of accessing "recovery mode", a functionality that is not enabled in snow leopard 10.6.8. And the only solution that doesn't rely on this feature (you can find it at the same link reported above), requests a redimensioning of the partition assigned to "Macintosh HD", that in my case is the only one that I have (I don't have any bootcamp partition), and even if l do it, it doesn't work.
Can anybody help me?Apart from your issue to start the downloaded installer, you must know that 2GB of Ram is the absolute bare minimum to run Yosemite.
You have to add Ram. You can have 8GB as a maximum.
I propose to install 2x4GB and the price is low, macs are very sensitive of the right type of ram and need a good brand. Usually Crucial or OWC is recommended here. It is not difficult to do it yourself, see the sites for instructions:
Crucial:

OWC:

Is there a special reason to go for Yosemite (it is VERY different from SnowLeopard) ?

Help! Installing updates an error occurred now my MacBook Pro will not restart. "Unable to find driver for this platform"
Did you try more than once? If so:
Reinstall Lion, Mountain Lion, or Mavericks without erasing drive
Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks
OS X Mavericks- Reinstall OS X
OS X Mountain Lion- Reinstall OS X
OS X Lion- Reinstall Mac OS X
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet
if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

Hi,
How do you connect the printer to the XP machine ? If USB, you need to make that machine as a Print server. Please try this:

Windows 8.1 installation select the driver to install
Hi,
I am trying to install windows 8.1 64 bit onto my late 2012 mac book pro retina using the latest version of Maverick.
I have used bootcamp assistant and am installing window 8.1 from a Microsoft created disk.
After progressing through the partition and initial installation without any issues, I have reached a point during the "collecting information" phase and a windows set up dialog box has appeared asking me to select the driver to install.
I have browsed the USB with bootcamp 5.1 on it and the windows disk and "rescanned" but i get a "load driver" dialog box that reads:
"No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contacts the correct drivers, then click ok"
Where will find the correct device drivers if not on bootcamp 5.1 or the windows disk?
I have successfully installed another copy of windows onto an iMac and didn't encounter this problem.

I have purchased a mac mini only to find I am unable to run Logic pro 9 , is there any way this can be achieved? It has been suggested that I partition the drive and install a copy of an older operating system to run the Logic Pro, is this feasible?
BDAqua wrote:
....but some other new Macs will boot frome a clone of 10.6.8...
Only with a whole lot of effort and instability. As the new Minis have
hardware (HD4000, USB 3.0, etc.) that is totally unsupported in old OSes.
The only option would be to see if it would work by installing in a virtual machine
running 10.6.8. I'm sure there will be some performance hit but whether it would
be enough to be unusable is the question. -
Leopard install fails with panic: "Unable to find driver for this platform"
I have an early 2006 20" iMac with OSX 10.4.11 installed. Running perfectly with latest Firmware, permissions repaired, just perfect. I now want to upgrade to OSX 10.5, so I insert the Leopard Install DVD, reboot, and then to my horror a kernel panic, screen goes black with message panic(CPU 0 ...): "Unable to find driver for this platform", with the usual boxed message about holding the start button.
Grateful for any help.I finally managed to install Leopard by using a 2nd iMac to read the install DVD, and using firewire and Target Mode as described in http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-10327225-263.html?tag=mfiredir . This seems to imply that the kernel panic is due to some hardware fault with my iMac's optical drive.

ROBBBoot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with networks that require any kind of authentication other than a WPA or WPA2 Personal password.
When the Mac OS X Utilities screen appears, follow the prompts to reinstall the Mac OS. You don't need to erase the boot volume, and you won't need your backup unless something goes wrong. If your Mac didn’t ship with Lion, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
Don't install the Thunderbolt update -- it's defective. -
Unable to find driver platfrom PowerMac 12,1 10.4 install
Hey guys,
Got an iMac G5 manufactured in 07' (PPC) from a relative and I am trying to erase the HD and restore. I'm putting the disc in it gives me a kernel panic screen.
- Grey install disc 10.4.10
Not sure what the heck is goin on here. New to mac's o_O
this is what code is shown at top of kernel panic screen- cpu 0 caller(0x002E59BC) Unable to find driver platform PowerMac 12, 1That message usually means the gray disk is from another Mac model, probably one with an Intel processor. Your computer needs a disk with PowerPC code, either its original disk disk or a full retail install set with at least OS 10.4.

Starup disk was unable to select install cd as the startup disk
I was in 10.3, crashed. Had to restore (saving my things). I updated up to 9.2.2. Put in my 10.2 cd to install and I get a message...
"start up disk was unable to select install cd as the startup disk."
As far as I know I did all the updates, but could be wrong.
Anyone have an idea how I fix the problem?
dnTammie, please excuse my confusion, but you say you were in 10.3 (Panther) and it crashed. You say you updated to 9.2.2, then you say you put in 10.2 (Jaguar) cd to Install. At the bottom in your profile you show you are running 10.4 Tiger.
So I am confused which Operating System do you want. Your machine will not run all 4 Operating Systems at once.
To Install from a CD or DVD you Insert the Media and restart your computer holding down the C key for it to boot.
Also bear in mind that If you are not using a Full retail version of the Operating System, or the Operating System that came with your computer it will not work, if it came from another computer. Operating Systems that come with specifc computers will not mix and match with other computers.
Please tell us exactly what operating system you want to use.

Boot Camp to install windows, unable to select the checkbox
Hello,
I recently purchased windows 8 64bit on a dvd and I'm trying to install it using Boot Camp Assistance on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). However, the second option is greyed out and I cannot select it.
I already downloaded the latest support software and I'm not sure why I'm unable to select the second option "Install or remove Windows 7 or later version"

Unable to boot from hard drive or install dvd
Out of the the blue my powerbook won't boot up. I've tried to reset the PRAM, I've tried to verbose thing but all it said was that it couldn't establish a connection to the windowserver. I've even tried to power on holding the option key but the hard drive and install dvd both have x's on them. What can I do to get this thing working again?
Have you tried rebooting in safe mode? Failing that, have you tried rebooting from the install disc so you can run Disk Repair? For either of these tests, insert your system disc and follow the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417

I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8.
I'm unable to do a clean install of Firefox 6 on Macbook Pro OSX 10.6.8. After trashing the firefox.app from the Applications folder and trashing a related file in the Library folder and then reinstalling, all of my previously opened windows and tabs reappear. And the history and bookmarks are populated too! Then, the computer freezes up so that I must reboot. Because these windows automatically open and the history and bookmarks are populated with my old history and bookmarks, I believe this is not a clean install. Please help.
Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
Do a backup, preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors. Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

Entity Framework - unable to select the oracle data connection
Entity Framework - unable to select the oracle data connection from the wizard that allows you to select the data provider. Even though we successfully added a data connection that points to an oracle database, we still can't select an existing data connection or create a new database provider that points to an oracle instance.
we are using both vs 2008 sp1 and vs 2010. We connect to oracle 11g and we use the latest oracle odp.net driver. the Driver is installed and working in vs studio.I had this exact problem when I started. I think I had downloaded the wrong odbc (the 64x version). When I unloaded that version and downloaded the 32bit version it worked.
