    would like to add additional hard disk, besides physically installing the new hard disk anything else need to do?

    If it's a generic SATA HD you'll probably need to format it for Mac using Disk Utility.

  • No Hard Disks found when installing

    Hi,
    Because I have a new PC that has a motherboard that has a kind of RAID controller onboard that is not (yet) certified by Sun, I've been trying to install Solaris 8 on a somewhat older PC. It's a P133 with 96 MB RAM and a 2.5 GB HD (IDE).
    Altough the Configuration Assistant finds my HD and CD ROM (and there are no conflicting devices), when the Web Start Solaris Installer looks for a hard disk, he reports: "No hard disks found on the system. Please see your documentation."
    I've been trying to change parameters in the BIOS of my PC: set hard disk mode from LBA to CHS or Auto, but I keep getting the same result. What is also funny is that I can issue the 'format' command after the installer stopped. There I can use 'fdisk' and I can create x86boot and Solaris partitons as I like. (I cannot format them though.)
    What 's going wrong?
    Best regards,
    Dominiek

    Did you try: destroying the "x86, Solaris" pair, re-booting, running installer, recreating "x86, Solaris" and re-starting the installer with "/usr/sbin/c0d0_isntall"? I have to do that EVERY time...
    HOWEVER !!
    Your drive might have a drive manufacturer LBA scheme installed - which may not be compatible with your BIOS LBA scheme (docs can be found on www.westerndigital.com). Frequent disk errros is one symptom.
    You should have the install disk for your particular hard-drive. It will indicate whether a drive-manufacturer LBA is installed. You BIOS setting is of course a separate issue.
    1) If you have an existing partition: * do not alter the LBA scheme *
    2) In general, partitions with an Operatitng system installed when LBA was enable must have the exact same LBA (by BIOS manufacturer, BIOS version, or hard-disk manufacturer) SUPPLIED AT EVERY BOOT. Some OS's ignore the BIOS's LBA offering.
    3) The LBA-written data is NON-REVERSIBLE. LBA written data is, in general, PER-PARTITION. You must do a complete backup, format, and restore to change you LBA scheme.
    4) If you don't know your complete LBA status - you should be concerned. In general, move away from LBA when the opportunity arises.
    You might contact your motherboard manufacturer upon the matter of obtaining a BIOS upgrade. Also: what brand HD do you have?
    Hope that help,

  • Hard disk problem after installing Solaris 10 u5 on a Sun Ultra 24

    Hi.
    After receiving a new Sun Ultra 24, shipped with Solaris 10 u4, the first thing I did was installing Solaris 10 u5. X wouldn't start but that was not a big problem and installed it in text mode. Installation went fine but, when the system starts, a single beep is heard and after some seconds some warning message appear on the console, before the "Hostname: ..." message, informing that some read operation on my hard disk had timed out and were aborted. The system then starts up normally. The only other anomaly is that the diagnostic partition in unbootable.
    I ran the hard disk tests from the tools and drivers CDs and all of the tests were passed. Solaris 10 u4 was working normally so I'm wondering if this may be a bug.
    Thanks for your help,
    Enrico.

    Thanks anyway, I discovered what the problem was: a bug in Solaris 10 u5:

  • Hard disk error while installing Yosemite

    Hi all,
    While installing Yosemite, my Macbook 17 in, I got an error after the reboot of the computer.  The screen shows "Installing on "Macintosh HD", and the remaining time ..... and then, I get the message saying, "OS X cannot be installed on your computer.  File system verify or repair failed.  Quit the installer or restart your computer and try again."
    I have been restarting a couple of times, and I get the same message every time.  I cannot go back to my previous installation of Mavericks.  While holding the option button and rebooting, I am presented with only two options .. OS X Installer and the recovery disk.   Where did the Mavericks install on the Macintosh HDD disappear?
    Choosing the first option (OS X Installer) does not boot into the OS, takes me back to the same routine thatI described above and gives me the error that I talked about.  Choosing the latter gives me the Disk utility.  I verified the disk's permissions, and the utility found some errors that it was able to fix.  I proceeded to verify the disk, which informed me that the hard disk needs to be repaired.  When I clicked on repair disk, the repairing went on for some time and it gave me an error message saying, "Disk Utility can't repair this disk.  Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk and restore your backed up files."
    What are my options now?  How do I retrieve the data that I have on the HDD?
    My hard disk was not giving me any problems all these days while I had Mavericks OS installation on the laptop.  It is not clunking now....  It seems to be fine.  Do you think, there is some problem with the hardware inside the HDD?  Or is some data on the HDD corrupt which caused it to not to be repaired?
    Appreciate your help.
    Regards,
    Kamran.

    Press X at startup to force a boot to Leopard. Press Eject, F12, or hold the trackpad button during startup to eject the Windows CD.

  • Sata or hard disk drivers to install windows 7 in Hp Pavilion 15-b101sd

    I didn't see the steps I had to do to install windows 7 in the computer, so I formated the hard disk and I cleaned it.
    But when I try to install windows 7, the installation program ask me about the driver of the hard disk which I haven't. I've tried to find it, but anyone of the drivers I found it doesn't work and I can't pass the page of the driver of hard disk installation.
    Do you have that driver? or what is the solution to install the win7?
    Thank you so much!

    Hi:
    If you are installing W7 from a USB flash drive, make sure you have the flash drive plugged into the USB 2 port (on left side) your notebook has.
    These should be the sata drivers you probably need to install if Windows still asks for disk drivers...
    I have zipped them up and attached them under Attachments below.

  • HT3910 how do i fix the mistakes i made when i erased hard disk and restart without reinstalling the hd hard disk

    i accidently erased macbook pro hd disk and when i tried to reinstall marvrick, it wont let me install and then i decided to restart then apple icon never came on and it did nothing for a long time.. please help.. i think it was hacked or virus messed it up

    It was not hacked, nor was this a virus. You erased the hard drive, so there's no system for it to start up from. I'm not sure what "it won't let me install" means, since you haven't given a specific error message, detailed description of the problem or information about how you were trying to install.
    First, before you do anything else, was the data on that drive backed up? If not, it's currently gone. You may be able to get most of it back using a data recovery tool. If you need to do this, do not do anything else with that drive, and see Recovering deleted files.
    If you already had Mavericks installed before erasing the hard drive, hold down command-R at startup. This should start you up in recovery mode. From there, you can reinstall Mavericks. If you did not have Mavericks installed, or if you did but cannot get it to start in recovery mode, then you will need to reinstall an older system. If the machine originally came with Snow Leopard (Mac OS X 10.6) or older, you will need the install disks to do this. If it came with a more recent system, try holding down command-option-R at startup to boot into internet recovery mode. You will need to be on a decently-fast network.

  • I have a macbook pro 2011 with 4GB RAM, 320 GB hard disk, mountain liion installed. for the past 2 weeks, it is taking nearly 10 mts to boot.

    It is taking nearly 10 mts for moutain lion to boot. I have used Mactune up utility to check disk status and there are no problems with the disk. Double checked with SMART utility and it reported no issues with the disk. Out of 320GB disk, 220 gb is free space in the disk
    Ran  anti virus to check for any virus relalted issues and found none. I have also checked programs which are part of login in User and Groups. I found only iTunes helper and unchecked the same. Post this operation, i had shutdown my pc and then re-started and am still experiencing 10 mts window for start up. I am not seeing errors in the macbook pro. can someone advise what needs to be done. do i need to reinstall mountain lion. if yes, can someone advise me how to reinstall mountain lion without erasing disk.

    pls refer my previous post, i have indeed checked console message. please let me know if i need to look for specific error message. i have pasted logs below from the latest PC start i did. time mentioned here is indian standard time.

    hi
    hi i bought an apple tv in ebay but come without hard disk,  i have a empty hard disk, and i installed on but i dont know what can i do, i dont hace ios system only windows..

    Take a look at this link, http://www.macworld.com/article/1057079/appletvharddrive.html

  • Win XP Unable to format hard disk and install

    Recently my system has got error about system hive error
    "C:\windows\system32\config\sysem file missing"
    So when I tried to reinstall the system the winxp setup says
    unable to format my hard drive after I choose C Drive to Quick Format(NTFS) and install option,this note appears
    "setup was unable to format drive c:the hard disk may be damaged
    make sure the disk is on and properly connected to the computer .If the disk is a SCSI disk,make sure your SCSI devices are properly terminated.See your computer or SCSI adapter documentation for more info"
    Thinking that the hard disk(Seagate Barracuda 160GB SATA) might have corrupted I used Seagate seatools to check for error and the test failed. So I replaced the hard disk with brand new WD 160GB SATA hard disk and started installing the winxp. Again I'm facing the same problem. Even I checked with the new connection port.
    I'm using AMD Sempron Processor. MSI K9MM-V Motherboard. dynet 512MB RAM.
    As the problem is existing even with the new hard disk I think there is no problem with the hard disk or cable. the problem must be something else.
    Please help me find the problem and rectify it.
    (My hard disk is SATA and No-RAID, No-SCSI, BIOS detects my hard disk and I'm able to create partitions but unable to format and install WinXP)
    I've used the same hard disk on another system with MSI Mother Board but it's working fine. Windows XP installs without any problem. I've replaced the hard disk in which the Win XP already exists(Win XP installed on another system with same configuration MSI K9MM-V Mobo, AMD Sempron Processor, 512MB RAM) But it hangs the system and when I restart the system it says,
    "Windows Could Not start because the following file is missing or currupt:

    I've tried this some 10-15 times every now and then this problem is popping up.
    So I think this is not the problem with Hard Disk. It must be the problem with Mother Board. So please help me resolve this issue. 

    Good luck!
    But please remember what you wrote: "BIOS detects my hard disk and I'm able to create partitions but unable to format and install WinXP",
    and what Bas wrote about listing your system components.
    Have a minimised system when you install Windows.
    A cloned copy of Windows can do this, for example one that a back-up program made.

  • How I installed Mountain Lion on Un-repairable Hard Disk.

    My Recommendations for Avoiding Trouble, Avoiding Risk, and Saving Time.
    1) Make a boot clone first!!!

    http://www.shirt-pocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.html
    2) Fix and repair your hard disk with Disk Utility and fsck_hfs before installing Mountain Lion!
        (Otherwise the installer will write-lock the disk preventing repair.)
    Mountain Lion Aborted Installation—Claimed Hard Disk Failed, Couldn't be Repaired, and Should be Replaced
    I have a 2011 MacBook Pro.  Installation of Mountain Lion aborted claiming the hard disk could not be repaired by Disk Utility, should be backed up immediately, and replaced.  It didn't make sense that the drive was booting up the computer for installation, but needed replacing.  I removed the drive, put it in an external enclosure, and backed up the drive using a working Mac Mini, and Carbon Copy Cloner.
    Hard Disk Was Write-Locked—Not Failing
    Booting in Single User mode (hold command and S keys down while bootup is proceeding).  I then typed in the fsck command given after Single User bootup.  It informed me the drive was write-locked and read only.  Now things were starting to make sense.  Disk Utility couldn't repair the drive because it was write-locked!  Maybe it could have been unlocked by the "chflags nouchg /Volumes/volume" or "chflags noschg /Volumes/volume" commands (http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20031017061722471), but I didn't try it.  Unlocking the drive is really worht a try because it could save hours of coppying through a slow USB interface. 
    I formatted my laptop drive after copying it to another large external drive.  Then I used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone Snow Leopard from my Mac Mini to my freshly formatted original laptop drive.  I unsellected the "Users" folder so I would only get the operating system—saving lots of hours copying data I don't need.  Then I put the drive back in my laptop, and it booted with Snow Leopard.  Checked the volume with Disk Utility and was informed the drive is fine.  I removed the drive and connected it externally to my Mac Mini and ran fsck_hsf a few times in the terminal, which showed problems were found and fixed.

    I put the drive back in the laptop and repeated the fsck commands after a Single User boot.  (Omited the sudo commands and used /dev/disk0s2.)
    Downloaded and Successfully Installed Mountain Lion on "Unreparable" Drive
    I downloaded the Mountan Lion installation application to my laptop, ran it, and had a smooth install. 
    More Trouble Migraiting My Applications and Directory
    I expect to use up more time changing my computer name, migrating applications and rsyncing my User Directory.  I will post how I achieve this. 
    I Hope People Avoid Trouble and Problems are Solved
    I hope everyone will avoid trouble by making boot clone of their whole disk before attempting an install of ML and repairing their disk with Disk Utility and fsck before ML installer prevents it with a write-lock.  Please see the first section.
    I hope this solves other peoples problems with 'unreparable' disks.  I believe this proves disks are repairable when ML says otherwise.
    Good luck everyone!

    troca, you certainly helped dtigerbme!  Isn't that encouraging?
    I recommend you copy your drive as soon as possible.  I really don't think the drive is bad, but you may have to format it and copy back to it.  Hopefully not.  Clone or backup the drive before trying this recipe.  Any time you have errors on a drive, back it up.  A failing drive has lmited life.  However, I don't think these drives are really failing, but that is my opinion and I break a lot of things.
    Let's try this recepie for you:
    Start in Single User Mode.  Power on while holding the Command + S keys.
    At the prompt, type "fsck_hfs -fy" or "fsck -fy" and hit return.
    Do it again.
    Enter the command "reboot".
    Just googled "volume count disk utility" and got the same recipe to fix it.
    http://counterjumper.com/post/19265700171/how-to-fix-invalid-volume-free-block-c ount-error-in
    So my recipe is to try to fix the drive without taking it out of the computer, which requires you can boot it up. 
    troca it looks like Apple has said that error is benign and can be ignored in 2010. 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2028?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_U
    I do believe fsck will fix it though.

  • Installed new hard disk to power mac g4

    hi
    i have just installed a new hdd to a power mac g4, when i go to install the os 9 9.2.1 it won't see the hard disk if i install a later os like os x it see it.
    any ideas?

    Hello Keiron and Don,
    Have just recently had a problem similar enough that relating it might help.
    First, I always fit the Seagate ST380013A 80GB ATA-133 HD. I've had excellent experience with about a dozen of them. I've never used the cable select setting...I forget when you're supposed to, but I've used them in ones and twos and threes and never used aught but master and slave. I don't think that'a the problem unless the QS is different from earlier Macs.
    Subject Mac is a dual-processor Sawtooth. Never had any trouble, except that I partitioned the HD in three. Installed Tiger. No problem, except that I didn't like it. Installed Panther. No problem. Went to install OS9. Wouldn't install, so I assume I didn't install OS9 drivers. No problem, so I installed a second Panther without all the languages and voice recognition. Worked great. Installed OS 9 on separate drive. Worked great. Installed OEM Geforce 3 video card in order to see Google maps. No problem. Snatched the OEM Geforce 3 for the DA, and installed a (cheap)(flashed?) Geforce 3 from a self-described Mac expert. Problem. No boot. No video. No screen. No nothin'. Reset PRAM on advice of self-described expert. No nothin'. Replaced bogus Geforce 3 with real thing. Mac monitor (19" Radius) lights up, gives me the spinning wheel, and then the 'nada' symbol. Replaced the tripartite OSX drive with a known-good OS9. Flashing question mark. Wonderful. Tried known-good OSX. Spinning wheel and nada. Better yet.
    Booted from an OS9 CD. Booted fine. Didn't see any drives. Now I get a little hazy. What I did was look at the startup disk folder and the drive setup folder on the OS9 CD. First nothing. Then three or four drives (one of which was a phantom) all greyed out. Then finally an opportunity to select a startup drive. Selected it. Wouldn't restart. Wouldn't shut down. Pulled the plug. Booted again from the CD. Now I could see the drives in drive setup. Somewhere in here I managed to verify a disk. Restarted. Mac restarted, but from the CD. Pulled the plug. Restarted while pushing the eject button on the DVD/CD player. CD ejected. Restarted - after a while - to the OS 9 drive. Checked the startup drive in the control panel. Nothing selected. Reselected the startup drive. Restarted promptly, or at least as promptly as it ever does. Couldn't select any resolution but 640 x 480 (I think) at 60 hz. Installed known-good OSX Panther drive (both drives on separate busses of an Acard-133 controller card and jumpered master - though I don't think it matters) and selected OSX as startup. Restarted, and has continued to work without problem. I can also select the full spectrum of resolutions for the Geforce 3, but only from OSX.
    As I say, this is probably an imperfect recounting. I suspect the resetting of the PRAM made it hard to see the drives. Does the controller card figure, or the Geforce 3? Did the bogus Geforce 3 card leave a legacy? Where did the phantom drive come from? Where did it go?
    Point I'm suggesting is that I'd try poking aroung with the OS9 install CD utilities and see if that would help. The extraneous detail is provided in case someone recognises the pattern and can make some sense of it. To provide the latest chapter, the Sawtooth continues to work without problem and as well as it ever did. The maps are awesome.

  • New Mac Mini Server, two Hard drives, Can I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    New Mac Mini Server, has two Hard drives, could I install an older Mac OS on the second drive and switch start up disks to run PowerPc applications?

    I haven't purchased a Mac Mini at this time and I may not if I can't use it as a non server. I need to update my system I would be better off buying a new Mac with Snow Leopard the last app that will run Rosetta. The Mac Mini Server has a quad 2.0 processor and 4 GB RAM and two internal hard drives and should out perform my dual 1.25 G4. I can run PPC apps on my G4 but it is 8+ years old and seems to be getting noisy. I don't want to tie myself to another old machine. I want a machine that will work with Intel Apps I was hoping that the two hard drives would allow me to boot from the second with Snow Leopard and use Lion on the first drive to be able to keep up to date with all my other universal apps and Mac OS up grades. The application I use the most is my CanvasX app with drawing & vector effects, text & typography, sprite technology, painting, image editing, and multimedia tools are all in this one app but will not be updated to run Intel apps. I am frozen in time because my most valuable Application won't be updated and Apple has cut me off by not supporting PPC in Lion and onward; Apple used to backward support but I guess that they are no longer as user friendly and concerned with a happy user. I have always been a loyal Mac user and I will not migrate to Windows under any circumstance; I hate windows!
    Thanks for your prompt response,

  • Cannot activate, license thought installation in old breakdown hard disk still there

    I have a geunine license. But I cannot do activitation now, I think it is because my computer had several times of hard disk breakdown problem and I needed to replace hte hard disk and re-installed the CS suite before. So the license number thought I have exceeded the installation limit. But in fact this is the single only one computer I amd working on. Now I have no way could deactivate the previous installation. What should I do?

    Please contact Customer care (http://www.adobe.com/aboutadobe/contact.html) or chat with an Adobe Tech (http://www.adobe.com/support/chat/ivrchat.html?promoid=FDLAV) and they would be able to increase the activation count for you after validating.
