Windows 8 driver problems, please help

hello,
i was trying to clone my windows partition the other day with winclone 2.2 to expand it, but that didn't end well, i had a perfectly working windows 7.
so, when i lost my bootcamp partition, i decided to give windows 8 (customer preview) a try.
Unfortunately, the bootcamp drivers only work in windows 7 (even if u run them in windows 7 compatibility).
i tried to install the drivers one by one manually, some have worked, and others have not.
Working:
Wireless reciever
keyboard
trackpad (was, because i deleted the drivers and reinstalled them, so i lost this driver that was built in)
graphics card
Not Working:
trackpad (was, because i deleted the drivers and reinstalled them, so i lost this driver that was built in)
media keys (brightness, keyboard illumination, pause play rewind FF, volume keys and eject)
ambient light sensor
multi touch gestures for trackpad.
can anyone give me a way to get the drivers to work?
MacBook Pro 15'' 2.0 GHz Snow Leopard 10.6.8 early 2011 model

nooo I did not say or suggest they they will work, or easy or with OEM DVD.
But if you are going to use 8 go ahead but plan to redo (unlikely to be an upgrade install).
You still have to look around and see what others have managed to do with some not working drivers.

Macbook Pro Hard Drive Problem - Please Help

My macbook pro had a hard drive failure so I went out and bought a new hard drive and got it to work with the Mac OS, although 2 days later it crashed and now it is not being found when I use the disk utility (Cmd-R), I even ran a hardware test and showed no trouble found.
Should I return this hard drive and get another?
Or is there another problem that is occuring?
I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012)
Thank You.

I just installed a new ribbon cable for the hard drive...Now I get a new error that is popping a message saying "2003-f", this happens when I try to go to the online recovery (CMD-R). I tried two different hard drives and still won't let me get to the utility.
Someone please help, my mini semester classes have started for my University, and I am stuck with no laptop.
Thank You.

G4 Powerbook Hard Drive Problem - PLEASE HELP!!

I have a powerbook G4 15 inch alu. It is running OSX version 10.4.11
My system profiler tells me I have a 74.5GB hard drive with 69.34GB used, but I had wiped the HD in September 2008 and reinstalled the OS and few other programmes and files, so this shouldn't be the case at all.
I have found that my the problem is with my Users folder - within Users, my user account (the main account, I have another account setup so my mum can use her iPhone) has 67GB used. But when I go into my user account (clicking through the icons, after double-clicking the MacintoshHD desktop icon), none of the folders within my account run to anwhere near 67GB. Totalled, they come to around 10-15GB at most. There's a good 50GB or so of hard drive that just seems to be missing.
I ran Drive Genius to repair permissions and that eliminated a couple of GB of this 'missing space' but no more than that. How can I go about finding and reaccessing my lost hard drive space?
FWIW - I reinstalled the OS in September because this was my University laptop and the result of 4-5 years use had resulted in loads of unwanted files. I saved the important stuff to discs and then reinstalled because it was much easier (I thought) than trying to find and get rid of all the unwanted stuff.
Please please help. At the moment, the computer is running fine if a little sluggishly (understandable given how much of the hard drive is 'used'), but I had a nasty experience earlier this year with my G5's hard drive crapping ut and really don't want to end up in the same boat with this one. I also need that extra space back so I can use some programmes I can't install or work with as things stand.
Many thanks for taking the time to read this and respond, I don't know enough about computers to have any clue as to how to proceed, so your help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

eww - will do and report back.
cornelius - apologies for the ambiguity there. Hope this clears things up a bit:
Users folder = get info says 69.34GB used
Double-click on the Users folder and I get three folders - the shared folder, my mum's account folder, and my account folder. My account is the main/master account.
The shared folder is empty. My mum's account folder has a couple GB used, mine has 66.5GB used.
I double-click on my account folder, and get icons/folders for Desktop, Library, Movies, etc (the usual stuff). When I do Get Info for each of these, the sum of GB used by them is about 10-15GB, nowhere near the 66GB supposedly used.
If it helps any, the File System is Journalled HFS+
S.M.A.R.T. status is verified, and Drive Genius, Disk Warrior, and Disk Utility aren't picking up anything bad other than the corrupted permissions I repaired prior to making this post. Repairing permissions only freed up a few GB more space, still got 50 missing GB to locate and free up. Or start saving for a replacement HD, but if this is a sign of a crash, I'd rather know now so I can plan for that.
Many thanks to both of you for responding so quickly - hopefully this problem is solvable.
It doesn't make sense, there's nothing else which could have used those 'missing' GB. And, as I only reinstalled everything in September I know there's no way the few programmes I've added and 10 or so CDs I've copied onto the G4 could account for the missing 50GB. My HD should have most of its space free - minus the space used by OSX, any OSX updates, and literally a handful of small apps and files.

Powerbook G4 12" 867mhz with dvd/cd drive problems - please help!

Hello all,
Just realized this thread should have been in this section. I put it in the using your powerbook section. Sorry for the double post. I just wanted it to be in the right section.
I have just inherited a powerbook g4 from a family member who is upgrading to a new machine. It has dvd/cd drive problems. I'm totally new to OSX and a notebook machine and need some assistance. I've been briefly scanning the forums here and noticed problems with these drives on the model computer. Is there a way to fix this with an install of older software? Here is the problem, if I insert a cd into the super drive it mounts on the desktop, and itunes will play it but it skips and sounds very distorted. I haven't tried a dvd but was told it doesn't even see the dvds on the desktop. Here are the know specs on the machine:
867mhz
640 mb ram
mac os x 10.5.1
boot rom version 4.5.5f4
the burner info: matshita dvd r uj-015
firmware version: docb
Thanks in advance!

Good Morning Mac,
According to your posted specs for the 12" G4PB you have the bare minimum requirements for Leopard. Even Tiger (10.4.11) should have 1GB RAM for decent performance (see my signature specs).
An easily installed 1GB RAM stick can be obtained at either of these reliable vendors:
http://eshop.macsales.com/ or http://www.crucial.com/
However, we are getting ahead of ourselves. Try the following in this order:
Repair Disk Permissions with /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/Repair DP, then do the following:
Run Repair HD from original CD or DVD install disk ........
Insert disk and re-start holding down the 'C' key until you see the spinning gear.
At Installer level...... DO NOT CONTINUE
At top left, use 'Utilities' Menu for Tiger or later and go 'Disk Utility'
Select your HD volume with Operating system on...
Select First Aid tab then select Repair Hard Disk button
If "RED" errors are repaired, run again, until none are reported then +run again+ just to be sure you are OK
Do NOT continue with the Installer... QUIT the Installer and return to the Finder ......... Eject the Disc
RESTART ..... Repair Disk Permissions .... AGAIN!
Try the above stuff first .... if that doesn't help, we will get into the "RESETS" steps next!

X40 2382-ECU Hard drive problem - please help!

I have a X40 2382-ECU thinkpad. I ran PC-doctor program and found the S.M.A.R.T. status test and short self-test both failed while the rest of the rest of the tests passed. After that, I ran a "chkdsk" comment from window and found no error. I was just wondering what does the result from PC-doctor means. Does that mean I have to replace my HD? Is there any other way to fix it without getting a new HD? If I have to replace HD, which HD will be capatible with my system (I'd like to upgrade the HD if possible - it only has 40gb now). Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!
I'm afraid that no good news will come from me this time around: the fact that your HDD has failed PC-Doctor tests suggests that it's on its way out. If I were you I'd clone the drive (or backup all the important stuff at least) yesterday.
Your X40 uses a 1.8"/4200rpm Hitachi drive, which are no longer in production. The biggest size available was 60GB, and these change hands at about $125-150 for an unused drive in the original unopened packaging, and that's on eBay...
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

Acomdata Hard Drive Problem - Please help!!

I purchased an Acomdata HydridDrive 250GB USB 2.0 drive today for my MacBook. When plugging it in, it shows up on the desktop like a CD and you are supposed to install "SecureHD_Login_V126.pkg" . So I run it and everything goes as normal... it selects my MacBook's HD, asks for my password, warns me the installation will require a reboot... then it says "There were errors installing the software" and "Please try installing again". Well, I've tried several times with no success. According to instructions, I have to install this before I can mount the drive because it has password protection or something. There are no forums or any useful help on Acomdata's website. Anyone know what's wrong?

monkey paw,
That's correct. I use the built-in "rsync" command line utility to create and maintain backups. It's a very powerful tool, if a bit less than user-friendly. Best of all, a command line incorporating it can be used in an Automator Action, which can then be double-clicked to run the backup whenever the external drive is connected.
If any of this sounds interesting, open Terminal, then type:
<pre style="overflow:auto; font-family: 'Monaco'; font-size: 10px">man rsync</pre>
and press <RETURN>. You will then have displayed the rsync "manual pages." Use the arrow keys to scroll up and down, or use the spacebar to go page by page.
Once you become totally lost in these man pages, come back here for specific help on using it, if you like

External hard drive problem, please help!

I have a SEAGATE external hard drive which I had associated with Time machine so its file system was HFS+ journaled.
when i turn the hdd on a window pop up comes on the screen telling me to either initialize, ignore or eject.
if i go to disk utility the hard disk shows as disk1s2 and that its format is FAT32.
trying to repairing it/fixing through Disk utility gives me the following error
Verifying volume “disk1s2”

however if i go to terminal and type fsck -f -y /dev/disk1s2

If you don't have any data on the drive, you may want to initialize the disk. Otherwise I would check out DiskWarrior.

Hp 87130 switch driver problem PLEASE HELP

i was writing the sending a typical instruction route:driven:all;
straight into a the switch driver and it gives me an error "undefined header."
i know i have the right gpib address because i was able to turn off the led by
using the *cls and *rst commands. but i took that instruction straight off of
the manual for the 87130 and it still doesn't work.

Hello-
It sounds like the interface is working, but the instrument is not responding. It may help to contact Agilent about this instrument. My initial guess is that there could be a couple of causes:
-The instrument needs to be configured to receive GPIB commands.
-The semi-colon is not a valid end-of-string (EOS) character.

X-Fi Fatal1ty Plat1num Champion Ed. problem, please help!

9X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. problem, please help!? Hi there everyone,
So i have a X-Fi Fatalty Platnum Champion Ed. and a computer with Windows 7.
I've searched the web and i found many people saying that the card it's working and perfectly compatible so i would like to exclude this option as far as the problems that i'm having.
So, right out of the box i've placed the front panel in with the ribbon cable and the power connected to it, then i connected the other end of the ribbon cable and finally placed the card in one of the PCI slots i have free.
Now, when i start my PC, i don't hear any particolar "beep messages" but nothing will come on the screen, in few words my PC will not boot at all. I can hear the HDD spinning, everything sounds normal except for that "little" problem.
So, i re-did all the connections thinking that maybe i did something wrong, but following the instruction i did exactly as told. So i tried again to power up the computer and i've noticed that the X-Fi logo is lit up (red light) and.. I don't really know if that means something or it's just something aside that doesn't really matter.. But, what is it's The PCI card is broken or there's something else?
I did try to disable the sound card (integrated mobo sound) from the BIOS but that didn't change anything. I did try all the software options but this looks like more of an hardware problem (please correct me if i'm wrong and/or i've missed something).
There's something that popped up in my mind.. the PSU. I noticed that i have a 300W PSU (mm.. low, isn't it's)?and i was wondering if that's enough or i need a more powerful one.. and if that's may be the case for the PCI to not work at all causing all i've already explained above. I mean.. It seems like i've installed a dead peripheral and that's impeding the computer to start up..
I don't know.. I need clarification and help, PLEASE.
Thank you very much in advance!

Look at the beta thread sticked above but good luck waiting for a new driver. That beta driver has been there since January and although better than the normal driver it is still crap.
All the boot type issues are with the SSD but if you getting in game crashes etc... under windows 8 that is simply that the driver stinks.

I got rid of them got 2 new 850 evo 250 gb same problem. please help me i am so desparate i am willing to pay woth body organs for help

I..have a few questions...
1. You set BIOS to the RAID mode, and under that option there's a Board SATA RAID ROM, do you set it as Legacy ROM?
2. Did you enter Ctrl+F to initialize the drives/Delete Array(If they're used SSDs) and create RAID0?
3. Is your Win7 64 bit or 32 bit?
4. I assume it's 64 bit, did you copy the W764 folder for driver loading?
And make sure you get the driver from here:

I tried hard reset on my iPhone. I tried restarting laptop and iPhone. I tried a different laptop. I tried removing driver and reinstalling from Device Manager but did not find a driver other than "Apple Mobile Device USB Driver" under "Universal Serial Bus controllers" which I heard shouldn't be uninstalled.
Anything I haven't tried?

Are you seeing your music listed in the iPod screen, or in Win explorer as in your earlier post?
I can see all the songs in my Edrive>al's Ipod> Ipod Control> Music folder.
A corrupted iPod database, will report zero music used, and have your music size reported as others, so you wont see the music in the iPod screen. Sorry, I thought there was some hope for you with iPodAccess, in recovery of the corrupted iPod database with your ratings.
You can try to borrow and use the Mac Disk Utility ->First Aid ->Repair.
Of course, if your iPod Hardisk is in a bad state, from the Disk Diagnostic report, then all my suggestion are futile.
