Z400 Discs with EFI partition not mounting after Win 7 Pro upgrade

HP z400: After a repair/upgrade of Win 7 Pro (64) sp1, any external disc with an EFI partition will not mount.  Drive will be present in BIOS and Disc Management, though without a letter. Unable to assign a drive letter.  All other discs mount correctly.  Drives with EFI partition will mount on other PCs.  All drivers appear to be current and fuctional. 
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I figured it out... after two weeks of head-scratching, I finally found the cause. 
I run MacDrive 8 so i can read discs with HFS+ formatting.  That program needed to be fully uninstalled and re-installed after the upgrade.  I had de-activated it prior to the upgrade, but it needed more than that.  Everything works now as expected.
But wouldn't it be ince if Windows would read mac discs natively?

  • Amd video drivers not working after win 10 upgrade

    AMD video drivers not working after win 10 install. running on microsoft basic driver, call hp smartfriend assistance. appearently there is a fix but hp will not help unless i pay 100.00$ US because the warranty has expired on my notebook.Have a pavilion dv7 was running AMD Mobility Radeon HD5000 series. Thank you hp will not be purchasing an hp product again.  Alienware here i come.

    Not much we can do since your model is not supported by Toshiba for Win 10 upgrade according to THIS list so there is no Win 10 driver for your TouchPad. That button, however, is not the only way to disable/enable the TouchPad.  FN+F9 does it and you can fix it where, when you plug in an external mouse, it will automatically be disabled.

  • External USB drive partition not mounting after upgrade to 10.6.6

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Mini and have an external HDD (Seagate GoFlex Desk) setup with two partitions with "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" format. After the recent OS upgrade, only one partition mounts. I have tried to verify/repair from DiskUtility and it shows all green over there. It just fails to mount. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I have the same symptoms : external HD with 2 partitions. Only one mounts.
    I can mount the other one in disk utility and access files in terminal. But the partition doesn't show in Finder or any apps.
    I've tried to disable journal and enable it again but nothing changes.
    Only message I get in the console is when I eject the disk using disk utility :

  • Partitions not mounting after Archive and Install

    I have just installed 10.4 after putting it off for ages. My machine is G4DA with 1.5ghz processor upgrade and a Sonnet ATA133 card for hooking up my 180gb Seagate 7200.7 HD.
    I had the HD partitioned into three equal 60gb partitions. One for system, users and apps, one for my video stuff and one for my audio stuff.
    The install went fine (Archive and Install option) onto the System partition. However after restarting, only the System partition is mounted. Disk Utility recognises the other two partitions (they have the generic document icon next to them rather than the little HD icon). When I run the repair it tells me there is nothing wrong with either partition.
    Disk Warrior also sees the partitions and also repairs them fine without any errors. Even the VISE installer for some of my software installs lists the partitions as available to install on but neither mount.
    I have been able to recover the data from the partitions using Data Rescue. Just wanted to know whether there was any way of getting the partitions to mount via the command line or otherwise before I resort to reformatting the drive.

    The Terminal.app command diskutil will do that. Launch it and type
    man diskutil, hit the return key, and read all about it.

  • Hard drive will not mount after optical drive upgrade

    I recently performed an optical drive install. Had to remove the hard drive bays (I use three hard drives - Luckily, 2 run OSX).
    I carefully removed all three drive bays and the empty bay. When I inserted the drives into the computer I had changed the position, swapping one OSX drive with a different one and reversing the drive bays. On restart, the computer started on the drive I had not selected for startup and I received an error message stating the other drive could not mount and it gave three options (Initialize - Ignore and Eject).
    I can see the drive in Disk Utility and repair the permissions (it's also located in the System Profile).
    I tried a few things I read in the community using various Terminal commands but was unsuccessful.
    (Let me point out that I recently switched from a PPC G5 to MacPro and swapped the drives from PPC into MacPro and all has been fine until I removed changed their positions in the bays)
    Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

    I would recommend you reformat your drives that you brought over, and if possible put in a Firewie case.
    Swapping drives will normally not matter but you should use Startup Disk to reset the default after using Option key the first time.
    Putting in an optical device shouldn't require removing the drives to get the cage loose and let you put in a 2nd superdirve.
    G5 used APM partition map, Intel Macs use EFI and requie GPT/GUID.
    A drive with just data should not matter but that is not fool-proof either.
    A drive iwth the system from a G5 though can.
    During startup the boot process scans all volumes and looks for systems and mountable volumes.
    Pull all the drives except the one with OS X that you were using, and put that in bay #1.
    I've moved arrays between bays and that never "broke" the array or had trouble mounting and using (even moving to ODD ports).

  • Time Machine backup disk not mounting after Snow Leopard upgrade

    i recently upgraded from latest version of Leopard to Snow Leopard via retail disk 10.6.3 & then updated combo 10.6.5. Now the TM backup disc will not mount.

    Exactly what happens? Do you get a message? If so, what?
    Try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
    If that doesn't help, the backups may be corrupted. Repair them, per #A5 in Troubleshooting.

  • Time Capsule not mounting after Restart

    I have only used Time Capsule for 2 days. However, it does not mount after Restart. I have to manually go in to the Time Machine Preferences and choose it again as the backup disk. Is anyone else having this issue, or is that the way it is supposed to work? Please help.

    I can see where you're coming from. I have just invested in an iMac with iLife08 , iWork08 and .Mac
    I saw getting this Time Capsule as the logical last step in this splurge.
    I still have an old Dell desktop WIN 95 vintage which is still chugging along, VERY slowly, its specs having been increased way beyond what its makers ever planned.
    I think (hope) this Time Capsule saga is a bit of a blip, superimposed on software (Time Machine) which has not been fully ironed out yet.
    As you say, "Works straight out of the box" and "one click and thats it" are statements one took for granted with Apple,but with a big push coming from the suits, perhaps things are shipped too early.
    From what I had heard of Apple, I would have expected better.
    It was amazing to read the frustrations of Mac veterans in their efforts to get the Time Capsule up and going - and they appeared to know what they were on about.
    I have to admit that I wasn't quite sure at first what exactly I was installing, but settled for a wireless external drive on my existing network, which doesn't have any other Apple products.
    Even that setup has gremlins.
    I am hoping that soon one of the mags will devote a feature on clearing the decks and starting from scratch with DETAILED instructions. I found that the installation bumpf which came with this brick stopped at the point where things got tricky.
    Keep the faith!

  • I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade

    I have problem with Access Connections on L412 after that utilyty upgrade in early August. Windows 7 Ultimate/x64.
    It stops connecting to WPA2 Enterprise (AES-CCMP), Microsoft PEAP, no server cert, with any credentials I try to use. The same account(s) works with native Intel manager on other notebooks and on mobile devices. I lost the wireless connectivity to enterprise WiFi network.
    And, after deinstallation of Access Connections, the inability to connect keeped intact with native Win7 WiFi management.
    I think, something was broken in Access Connections 5.83 Build 83C753WW and some registry settings/ dll modules were altered but not returned to normal after deinstall.

    Access Connections is definitely broken for WPA encryption.  Both versions 5.02 and 5.84 fail for me.  If I use the Windows XP wireless configuration instead of Access Connections, everything works.
    Does anyone know how to report this to Lenovo?  I chased links around the web site but couldn't find a place.

  • I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    I want to install my original SnowLeopard (from the installation disc) to a partition I created in the now upgraded Mavericks OSX, How can I install it on the new partition?

    That's easy.
    2 methods:
    1. Change the Startup Disk in System Preferences, then restart:
    2. Hold down the "Option" key while starting or restarting the Mac. Then chosse the partition that you want to startup from.
    The 1st mehtod is the quickest, because you don't have the additional step of choosing the drive. Plus, whatever you have selected in System Preferences becomes the default startup drive.

  • Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.

    Beats Audio Control Panel software not working after Windows 10 upgrade.  the Beats sound enhancement is useless in WIndows 10. When opening the Windows 10 sound properties  I'm getting this box message: Auido enhancement problem Windows has detected the audio enhancement for the following device are causing problems: Speakers / Headphones (IDT High Definition Audio Codec) Woud you like to disable driver enhancement for this device?  IDT High Definition Audio CodecBeats Audio Control Panel version6.10.6491.02013.11.2009:43:18 Please provide some kind of fix for this?

    Well, it has been a long road on the Win 10 upgrade. At first I got the same error message as above, but after deleting the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 in Win 10 using Control Panel Programs and Features and rebooting, I got into the continual BSOD upon reboot. Here are the steps I took to at least get stable on Windows 10. First, I rolled back to Windows 8.1 using the advanced feature in the BSOD recovery options. Once back in Win 8.1, I deleted the Dolby Advanced Audio v2 using Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel. Then I downloaded the Win 10 update and re-installed it. Once that completed, I updated the Intel Graphics driver under the display adapters (on my G780 it is an Intel HD Graphics 4000, and the driver can be found at  https://downloadcenter.intel.com/). Currently I am running version 10.18.10.4252 for my machine. Then, under the Device Manager, I updated the Conexant SmartAudio HD driver under the Sound, video, and game controllers. That driver is currently at 8.66.4.50 and was automatically downloaded from the web when I requested to update driver.  I also changed several others settings such as Notify to schedule restart after updates are installed instead of automatic (under Settings --> Update & Security --> Advanced Options) and Do you want Windows to download driver software and realistic icons for your devices? --> No, let me choose what to do, never install driver software from Windows Update.  After that, I shut down the machine, waited a moment and booted back up. I have no idea why this helped or if it is overkill, but I am stable and running without a fear of rebooting now. Hope this helps if someone else is having this same issue.
