Xp pro clean install on sata but can't get it access my old raid hdd setup

Hi,
I got the Neo4 nforce4 platinum board and i originally setup 2 300gb maxtor ide hdds to raid which had my old xp pro setup but its seen better days and wasn't legit but i own officially now and decided to do a clean install to the 250gb sata hdd i have. install went well with the exception of loading up the nvraid and storage controller during install which for some odd reason wouldn't copy to the sata hdd but none the less everything runs correctly and after i reenabled the raid, thats where i have a problem.
now after it was set in the bios and rebooted, windows found it as an unknown device which i then set it to the legacy nvraid setup files and installed fine but the problem is that it shows the raid hdd but gives me no access (nor did it come up with the correct name for the drive that was set but the size given was correct) and looking at computer management, it tells me i need to initize a drive which happens to be one of the 300gb hdds thats part of the raid ??? so from seeing that i know theres something wrong so i'm asking what can i do to correct this and get access to the files I already have on it? i don't want to lose what i got on the raided hdds, just wanna burn off whats needed and then wipe the hdd's.

Guys, I Finally got it to show up correctly I first did a mistake with changing the primary ide to nvidia's driver in which caused a BSOD lucky enough last known good option worked and going back to device manager, i noticed it mentioned a dual ide under secondary ide which i thought i'd try the nvidia driver on. sure nuff, after a reboot it found the 2 hdd's as raid and installing the drivers for them gave me access like before
Thanks for the help guys tho theres still one last thing i need to go and change now that i noticed it: the northbridge fan died and i searched around the forum and saw a few ppl recomend but i'm not sure what i can really fit as a replacement due to my Evga 6800u + nvsilencer 5 and didn't see any of the topic mention someone with the same. any suggestions on that?

Upgraded to Mavericks and installed new iphoto but can't get iphoto to work

I have not been able to open my iphoto library with the current version after installing Mavericks and purchasing/installing iphoto 9.5
Here's the system info: iMac (from Dec. 2007)
2.8 GHz Core duo
4 GB SDRAM
OS X 10.9.1 (as of yesterday)
Iphoto 08 (7.1.5) lived on a network drive ( Lacie cloud drive) shared between a pc and a mac.
Upgraded to 9.5 yesterday
I used time machine backup before installing Mavericks and proceeded to try to upgrade iphoto. However, I did not make a backup of my system after this installation and before I installed the new iphoto. Does Time machine backup iphoto files located on a network drive? Does it matter that the backup was made with snow leopard and not Mavericks?
I followed instructions on a thread indicating that iphoto Library upgrader 1.1 should be used to prepare my old library prior to opening with iphoto 9.5.
When I double-clicked the upgrader it gave me this message:
Your library can open with the current version of iPhoto and does not need to be prepared with this tool.
I noticed that the iphoto icon has already changed from orange to blue.
OK- great! So I go to the freshly installed iphoto and try to open my library and get this message:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
Alright, so I click the upgrade button and I get the beachball of death for about 15 minutes and then see a message that says:
Examining photo library- Examining with the beachball of death goes on for another 10 minutes and then iphoto just crashes and closes.
Back to searching through threads- Ah- try option + cmd while opening iphoto to rebuild the database but then get this message AGAIN:
The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto.
Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.
And so, the cycle continues....
After reading through a few other discussion I discovered that the iphoto library should have been on a drive formated as Mac OS extended (journaled)
So- I format an external harddrive as Mac OS extended (journaled) and proceed to copy the iphoto library (234 GB) onto the external harddrive and after about 30 minutes I received this message:
The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “iPhoto Library” already exists. I click OK and everything stops and shuts down.
Is it possible to get rid of Mavericks and go back to my original iphoto 08 using the time machine backup? If so, should I then use the upgrader before installing Mavericks and the new iphoto?
At this point I have no clue how to proceed. I am trying not to panic but this process is starting to drive me a little bananas and my brain is slowly, but surely, melting away.
Please help save my sanity. Please.
Thank you.

The problem is the library has been damaged from sitting on the Network Drive, and frankly, returning to the old OS won't change anything, nor will downgrading iPhoto. You're going to have this issue once you try and move the Library, or update it in any way, and - even if you stick with the old version of iPhoto, you're going to start having issues just saving edits, sharing and so on.
So, you're between a rock and a hard place.
I've no idea if TM backs up material on a NAS, but I do know that it can be set to back up externald rives. I'm somewhat surprised that you don't know, as this is your back up system that you created and the easiest route out of this situation. NOw there's only one way to find out.
So, my first effort would be to try restore the Library from TM to the correctly formatted drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4927?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
will help with that.
If that doesn't work or is not possible, your next effort is to try rebuild the Library to the correctly formatted drive:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
If that doesn't work, then you're recovering the masters from the Library and starting over from scratch.

Have successfully installed windows 7 but can't get wireless connection?

Hi There,
I have just installed a Windows 7 Partition using Boot Camp on my partner's iMac and it works fine but can't connect to the wireless connection? On the mac side it connects without problem? Can anyone advise???

Trying to clean Automatic Feeder glass but can't get to it

I like many have lines running through my copies when I use the automatic document feeder. I have followed all the steps on the HP support page so please DO NOT LINK IT.
I have wiped the rollers and the paper seperator, but when I go to clean the thin strip of glass for the feeder I can't pull up the black box that covers it as the video shows. It's stuck, I've looked to see if something is blocking it or I have to push something but can't open it and don't want to break it.
Is there some magical button you press to open it. I know that the smudge must be on that portion of glass because scanning it from the full sheet works, as well as printing, and faxing.
Any help would be appreciated

Above I have provided some pictures to help illustrate the opening of the ADF of an HP Officejet 6500a Plus. Hope this helps.

Just installed airport card but can't get a solid signal

a few weeks ago an electrical storm blew out my ehternet port. i consulted a mac genius at the apple store and decided to avoid replacing my logic board by getting an airport card and wireless router. After installing this business last night i was delighted to see full bars on the signal icon. but then it instantly dropped to two bars. then none. then a few minutes later back to two, full, none, etc. My computer and the wireless router are pretty much right next to eachother- i'm not splitting the cable between my machine and anything else (no other computers, not the tv). can anyone suggest what might be causing the signal problem? there's a major heatwave, would that cause problems? also, should i have looked into getting an aditional ethernet card instead? i'm desparately trying to avoid taking my machine out of my house (it's a desktop and i live in Queens so it's a b-tch to take into the city) so i'm really hoping to make this wireless buisness work. thanks so much!

j9fleri, Welcome to the discussion area!
One (or more) of the following must be true:
The antenna wire isn't properly attached to the AirPort card. Is this the original AirPort card or the AirPort Extreme card? If it is the AirPort Extreme card, use the photos in KB 108039, Properly attaching the antenna on an AirPort Extreme Card to verify that the antenna wire is properly installed.
You are experiencing some sever RF interference. See KB 58543, AirPort: Potential sources of interference.
The wireless router isn't working properly.

Installed latest version but can't get it to work with you tube videos

I installed the latest version of Flashpayer for Windows XP but when I go to Youtube and try to play videos Youtube doesn't recognize that it is installed
What am I doing wrong or how do I fix the problem? Thank you.

I'm having the same problem, when I try to see a youtube video, it says "you need to upgrade your Adobe Flash Player to watch this video". When I click on "download it now", Adobe says I already have it installed.
I too have Windows XP and using Windows Internet Explorer 8 browser.

After clean installing Windows 7, I can't use SYNC to restore old profile. Is it lost? Is it not also stored on firefox server/online?

I installed windows 7 pro.
When i installed Firefox, i was hoping for signing in using my profile email and using SYNC to get saved passwords and bookmarks.
Is it possible?
I've entered my profile login and sync has not retrieved anything from my login details. I thought it was stored online as well???

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Windows XP 64 bit pro clean install with RAID

Can anyone help out???
I recently purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad W700 with the raid system (raid1) it had Vista Business pre installed but I wasn't impressed so I've cleared VB out and tried to install XP 64 pro I have followed the guide I found on this site http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=188992
which was very informative but didnt seem to include any details on a raid installation. If I change my BIOS Serial ata (sata) to compatibility I can install win xp and get it running but no raid!! if I try to install the Intel chipset driver it reports it cannot install!! If I set the Bios Serial ATA to RAID the setup goes so far through then I get the BSOD
I seems to me I need some raid drivers but have no way of installing them during setup (I dont have the drivers anyway!!)
Sooooo...........can anyone out there point me in the right direction for a clean xp pro install with raid?? theres a couple of beers in it!!
Lenovo thinkpad W700, Q9000 2.00GHz Quad Core 2x 160gb hdd raid1, 4gb ram, 1gb nvidia graphics FX3700m Fingerprint reader, Graphics tablet (digitiser?)
Windows 7 Professional 64bit RAID 1

I believe you need to install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager Driver for Windows XP, Vista (32bit) - ThinkPad. Installation instructions are on the same site. If you don't have a floppy you can streamline them onto an install disk.
Other drivers can be found here.

Installed Win7 64bit but can't install Bootcamp

Hi all,
Just installed Windows 7 64 bit but can't get Bootcamp to install. Downloaded 3.2 (64) update but that requires 3.1. Downloaded 3.1 (64) update but that requires 3.0. 3.0 won't install from the DVD as it doesn't support the 64 bit Windows 7.
Is there a version I can download or do I have to get rid of that install and do it all again using the 32 bit version?
Stuart

Head to (better yet, copy the contents to a folder)
Navigate to Apple \ Drivers \ Bootcamp64.msi
control click and select Compatibility Mode and choose "Vista"
You just have to force it a little.
May also get a warning from Windows that it isn't compatible or known to cause trouble (true) but install anyway.
AppleHFS feature can be buggy and lead to Bsod.
I keep that renamed and therefore disabled, use Paragon HFS or MacDrive8 instead, commercial but at least they work better.
Apple didn't 'bless' some of us with older EFI32 (trouble booting DVD and other issues) and even mid 2008 iMac had 64-bit ROM and processor at a time when MacBook, MacBook Pro, and Mac Pro all were on the "supported" list for Vista 64-bit, the iMac was not

I did not deactivate a photoshop cs6 before there was a new "C" hard drive installed on my computer and a Win7 Pro fresh install too. How can I activate photoshop on the new hardware if I can't deactivate it on the old hardware that is no longer available? Any help will be appreciated.

If it's the same machine (same CPU) there should not be any need to activate. The actiovation is tied to your CPU.

Which iBook do you have?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1772?viewlocale=en_US
Which version of the OS is installed, and which version are you trying to install?
You could try starting up with Startup Manager and see if it will allow you to select the OS X install disc as the startup disk. If so, maybe you can proceed from there. I would recommend repairing the hard drive first since you are evidently having a bit of a problem with it.
