Where do I find my Hard Drive info ? i.e. (5400 or 7200)

I am looking in System Profiler and can't find any info about my HD.
Under ATA it says there is no ATA installed.
I have a macbook pro 17" 500gb but I need to know if it is 5400 or 7200.
Thanks

It's not on your Mac. Find the model number per my previous info then get the spec sheet from the drive manufacturer's web site. If you did not specially order the 7200 RPM drive then you have a 5400 RPM drive. You can open the drive compartment and see if the information is printed on the drive's data label.
As I said here and before if you have a stock model the drive is 5400 RPM.

  • Where do i find the hard drive? then the library? i just got netflix, it says i have to delete silverlight

    don't know where to find the hard drive.
    you have encountered an issue specific to Microsoft Silverlight, the software used to watch movies on the Netflix website. This issue is often resolved by uninstalling and then reinstalling Microsoft Silverlight on your computer.
    To uninstall Microsoft Silverlight on your Macintosh computer, please follow these steps:
    Completely close any currently open internet browser windows.
    Navigate to your Hard Drive.
    Select Library.
    Select Internet Plugins.
    Drag Silverlight.plugin to your trash.
    Once you have emptied your trash, Microsoft Silverlight uninstallation will be complete.
    After completing the above steps, attempting to Watch Instantly on www.netflix.com will prompt you to reinstall Microsoft Silverlight.

    Choose Computer from the Finder's Go menu, double-click the internal drive, and then the Library folder.

  • Where do i find my hard drive?

    I ordered a 80gb hard drive where do i go to view it to make sure i got what i ordered? thanx

    The hard drive is right next to the battery. simply remove the L frame (very carefully) and you should see a white folded tab on the left (macbook facing you upside down). unfold the tab and pull out gently(holding the sides, not top and bottom) and flip it over. you should see the specs on the label.

  • Compaq CQ61-360sa Laptop Hard Drive spin speed? 5400 or 7200?

    Compaq/HP websit states 7200 rpm
    Comet website states 7200 rpm
    Comet confirm 7200 rpm on this page: Comet Q&A page
    but . . . . .  the Compaq box the laptop comes in from Comet states 5400 rpm !
    Who tells the truth?
    is there some way of telling on the actual Laptop without taking the HD out?

    I recommend the 7200 rpm drive. It is the standard recommendation for video and you will not regret spending that $100 in the long run. The 5400 rpm drive works but as you do more video and load up that drive you will find that its performance will not keep pace with your needs. And don't worry about heat or power issues with either drive.

  • Once my pictures are imported by iPhoto, where are they on my hard-drive?

    Once my pictures are imported by iPhoto, where are they on my hard-drive?

    You don't go that way.
    iPhoto is a database, and you need to use the tools provided to access the data:
    There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:   You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
    (Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
    You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
    There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps.  If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
    If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
    If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
    For users of 10.6 and later:  You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation  which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
    Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
    For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
    Other options include:
    Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
    File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
    Show File:  a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier:  Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.    3.b.
    b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

  • Windows 7 Install - Can't find my hard-drive!

    Hi guys, i'm hoping someone can help. I've recently bought a brand new Toshiba Satellite pro L650 (PSK1KA-02D01E) running Windows 7 After a few weeks, things started to get really slow. Then I woke up one morning to discover it stuck on the first screen when I turn it on.
    I thought I had a virus, so then decided to do a full re-format and re-install windows. After I formatted the correct partition, I went to install Windows 7 again Only for it to say "windows could not detect a disc drive" it asks me to install drivers for the hard-drive, which I can't seem to find.
    it's a sata hard-drive (TOSHIBA MK6465GSX) I think is the model number. I can not find the hard-drive drivers anywhere. The other strange thing, is every now and then, it finds the hard-drive, but states that windows can not install onto that drive (even when I format it, try to add a partition and so forth) I have been into bios, I don't really know a great deal of what I am looking at, but it sometimes states my hard-drive is there, and other times it does not.
    I am so desperate to get this fixed. Does anyone have any ideas? I live pretty remotely so taking it back and getting it fixed is not ideal.. but maybe necessary.
    Thanks in anticipation..
    - Gavin.

    It sounds like the hard drive is dying.  The Win7 install shouldn't need a driver for the drive.

    Hi,
    The right part number for the hard drive kit is 681976-001. The support website for the laptop is on HP Sweden so run the part number on google.co.uk (or your Swedish). I have found the cheapest on us amazon for $38 or £42.

  • Where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.

    where can i find a Labview driver for the "8990a PEAK POWER ANALYZER" it's not on NI's site.
    if there is no driver maybe you can tell me the closest instrument that comes to this one from the list at,
    http://search.ni.com/query.html?lk=1&col=alldocs&nh=500&rf=3&ql=&pw=595&qp=%2BContentType%3AInstrumentDriver+%2BIDNetManufacturer%3A%22Hewlett-Packard%22&qt=peak+power+analyzer&layout=IDNet
    so i could modify and use the driver

    Hello,
    It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
    Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where can I find a print driver for my e-mac running os9.2

    Where can I find a print driver for my e-mac running os9.2

    Actually the best place is the web site for the printer. You'll also need the model, but there are still some OS9 drivers out there.
    You must supply the printer make and model for people here to help further.

    It turned out that WD is the big bad guy in this game.
    According the data rescue company where I asked for an inspection, both of the drives had their reader head loose. And in the one, which was my already-in-use disk its even damaged the platters... xxxxx
    So its time to pay bunch of money to recover, and take a walk to wd service to bang on the desk.
    Also note - it may be somehow related to intellispeed technology - since macs not really friendly with wd-s built-in solutions.
    On the other hand, with WD GP 1Tb there is no problems at all for ages.
    thanks guys, thread is closed

  • Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?

    Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?
    Please help me. 
    Thanks

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

    What message are you receiving? You can find DiskWarrior at the Apple Store or here - http://www.alsoft.com/index.html. It's about $100US.
    You can boot from the DiskWarrior CD - http://www.alsoft.com/DiskWarrior/details6.html
    If DiskWarrior does not resolve the issue, then you can try an Apple Repair Station. You've lost nothing in your attempt to self-resolve because you should own the DiskWarrior software anyway.
    Good Luck,
