Z77A GD-65: Windows 7 not installing/running with Intel SATA controller.

I've been having some weird issues with the Intel SATA controllers on-board. They won't let me install Windows at all. I'm using a Crucial m4 with the 0309 firmware.
When I was trying to install Windows with the SSD connected to the Intel SATA controller, installation would always fail sometime around the "Completing Installation" segment. I tried ACHI mode, IDE mode, nothing worked.
So I decided to try hooking up my SSD to the ASMedia controller instead, despite that being advised against. Windows was able to install and run fine on that connection. After that, I installed all of Intel's chipset drivers and all the updates available for Windows, hoping it would resolve the problem.
Then, I connected the SSD to the Intel port again. Now I get a BSOD every time I try to start windows, even though it has drivers for the chipset available.
I'm really upset by this... it seems like I'm going to have to settle for inferior SATA 6 performance just so I can run Windows. :(

You can't install OS with ASMEDIA port, and then switch to Intel port.
So basically, if I can't get it to install on the Intel port, I'm stuck using the other one... well, the performance isn't optimal, but I guess it's acceptable as a failsafe. Better than nothing.

Try doing a new installation based on the Intel port, load Intel driver on HDD screen, and proceed.
What Intel driver do I need, and how do I load it during Windows installation?

New install problems with Dell SATA controller

Hi,
I've just installed Solaris 5.10 on a Dell PowerEdge R200 with a Dell SAS 6r RAID card (I think it's LSI, certainly the modules were picked up during the install)
On initial boot there's a fairly long delay after the "SunOS 5.10 Version Generic_127128-11 64bit" header then I receive: (Incidentally, this isn't a 64bit
WARNING: /pci@0,0/pci8086,294@1c/pci1028,1f0e@0 (mpt0):
Disconnected command timeout for Target 0

This is then repeated for a few more blocks until it eventually reaches "Hostname blah, Configuring devices, Loading smf(5) service descriptions)"
Any ideas what could be causing this? I've installed two Linux distributions as a test and not had any problems there but I get the same results if I install OpenSolaris 5.11. Once I'm actually logged in the box seems ok but obviously all is not well. I've run the dell diagnostic tools for several hours against the disks and the controller and found no errors. As above, seems fine in Linux distros.
Any help greatly received!
Craig.

Thanks everyone for your input. After combing through the iChat and WiKi forums as well as going through some of the general Apache organizations documentation, I've decided to bite the bullet and reinstall the OS and then recreate all of the setup work, Time Machine backups, etc. to sort it out completely. As is often the case with Apple's server products, they work until the DNS comes into question (change in IP, change in DNS servers, inability to reverse DNS on startup) and then everything breaks. On our older servers, we've seen the NetInfo/Directory services become unusable and often that causes the machine to hang in oblivion on startup. It's a great product when it works; I just wish Apple (or a 3rd party developer) would take into account the issues that so many people seem to face when DNS goes wrong on Apple's Server platform and introduce a "Fix" Program to allow for record and application level corrections. The most common answer to this question "the solution": go back to ground zero, lose precious time and effort, hope for a better outcome. Thanks again all for your input.

Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?

Will Windows 7 Pro run with 16GB of Ram in Macbook Pro Early 2011 13-inch?, Does the brand of the Ram matter ?
I installed Crucial 16 gb and the Mac runs just fine but Windows won't start. It gets to the login screen then it turns white.

I decided to make another try today after some reading and googling the internet.
I started windows with my old 4GB memory and changed the bootconfiguration with msconfig. I typed manually in max memory tp 16384 MB and saved the settings. Then I turned it off and inserted the 16GB ram again. Then it started really but when looking at the properties of my computer it says 16 GB installed but I can only use 2,16GB. So I opened msconfig again and changed the settings once more and restarted. Now it says 16GB installed but I can use 14,2GB so I guess it is ok now for some strange reason. I suppose the lost 1,8GB is for the system ?? Do I dare to turn it off again :-) what will it say next time ?
I am so happy and greatful for all your help, I really really appreciate it and I hope my solution will come to use for someone else with same problem.
Thank You all :-)

Command-T opens new window not new Tab with Snow Leopard

Does anyone else have this issue? Command-T opens new window not new Tab with SL.
And yes all my settings are correct!!

Greetings,
If your preferences for Tabs are correctly set (the top two checkboxes are checked) and it's still opening a new window, then it would seem your preferences may be corrupt. In that case, you should quit Safari, go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete the com.apple.Safari.plist file.
Then restart Safari, setup your preferences again, and test to see if it works.

Newbie: does ADF install/run with Eclipse instead of JDeveloper?

Hi,
Can ADF install/run with Eclipse instead of JDeveloper?
Thx
-Rob

If you mean can you design ADF applications with Eclipse then yes, you can do that with Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse. It isn't as full-featured as the JDeveloper experience, though.

Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you? If so, can you get a normal iTunes install to go through properly now?
If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

ITunes would not install correctly with the latest update on my computer and laptop and gave an error of some kind. Now the earlier version will not work when recovered and I have no iTunes at all on either computer. Help?

I tried to update iTunes with the latest release and it screwed everything up on my desktop (Windows 7) and on my laptop (Windows Vista) giving error messages related to runtime error, etc. Tried to recover previous version and it would not recover fully. Now have no itunes on either computer and it will not install properly or open after quasi installed. Help please

Visio 2013 32-bit trial version will not install even with other 32-bit MS products only.

Trying to load MS Visio 2013 Trial to determine if it works so I can purchase full version.
Environment: MacBook Pro, w/ VMWare Fusion 4, Windows 7, running only MS Project 32-bit on the VMWare side. MS Office is not installed only MS Project.
Downloaded Visio 2013 Trial img file and attempted to install. Received 64-bit conflict with 32-bit software error message. Deleted Visio 2013 64-bit version and redownloaded Visio 2013 Trial img this time in 32-bit. Tried to install but the same 64-bit
conflict message is appearing. As the only software I have installed is MS Project 32-bit it does not appear that there should be a conflict. I have scanned TechNet and Googled to try and understand how to determine and resolve the conflict but
there are no threads to address this specific problem.
P.S. I cannot uninstall and reinstall MS Project as I spent hours on the phone with Microsoft and VMWare Support to get it installed the first time so I don't want to mess with an existing environment that is finally working.
Microsoft online chat recommended calling MS Support and they have now sent me to you. Can you please help?

Dear Smith_123:
Thank you for your reply. However, Office had never been previously on the OS as it was never purchased. I do have Office for Mac 2011 but that is 32 bit and is not on the VMWare / Windows side of the machine. But even if I had, I would not know
how to clean up the residual file or registry keys without assistance.
After 1 hours and 20 min on the phone last evening and being handed from person to person through literally 9 different people, I finally reached someone that seemed knowledgeable in MS Support. But all they would give me was a circular answer:
We can't help you because it is a Trial Version for which there is no support offered. When I explained I wanted to be sure Visio worked on my machine prior to spending between $300 and $600 on a copy, Support could only say that I would have to purchase it
first before they would give me any help to see if it works. When I offered to purchase it right then since I had finally gotten to someone who appeared as though they could help, he told me that he was Support and not Sales so I would have to go elsewhere
to purchase the product. Very frustrating.

Windows 7 install issue with Snow Leopard

Hey Guys!
Just upgraded my Macbook Pro (Unibody Late 2008) to Snow Leopard and did all software updates. I then partitioned the drive to install Windows. When installing Windows it would only install if I reformatted the partition I wanted to install it on. So I did that. After hours of installing and udating Windows 7 I found that I did not have bootcamp on the bar at the bottom. I tried to upgrade to BootCamp 3.1 but it says Bootcamp 3.0 is needed and not present.
How do I install Bootcamp 3.0 from Windows?
How do I get back to Mac OS? I have been stuck (ugh!!!) in Windows since Friday...
I tried to download the pdf file to read about installing Windows 7 but Windows will not install Acrobat Reader (I really hate windows), fought with it for 1 hour trying to install it.
anyways thanks in advance for the help
KK

Hey Guys
I eventually solved the Boot Camp Problem but then shortly after that had a different problem crop up.
It will not boot my Mac OS, it says the partition is corrupted. Even if I boot from an install disk, it will not mount the Mac portion of the Hard drive. Best info I can get on the issue is that part of my B Tree is too large? Mac Repair utility will not fix it.
Suggestions? Even if I cannot use the partition as a bootable drive I would like to get my data from that disk. Unfortunately I do not seem to have a backup of the data on that drive.
thanks
KK

Windows 7 Install Issues with Mac Pro

I have Mac Pro with Windows XP SP3 installed with Boot Camp on a separate, dedicated 250GB HD.
I purchased an upgrade version of Windows 7 Home Premium. I hoped to install the 64-bit version. I upgraded, per Boot Camp I&S Guide, Boot Camp to version 3.1. After Boot Camp upgrade, I mounted the Windows 7 64-bit installation disk. Since the Windows disk did not open automatically, I then attempted to open the Setup.exe file but got the following error message –
“D:/setup.exe is not a valid Win 32 application.”
I suspect the Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade was for the 32-bit Windows XP system currently installed and this caused Windows 7 (64-bit) not to open.
If my suspicion is correct, would upgrading to Boot Camp 3.1 (64-bit) cause problems with the currently installed Windows XP? Any advice would be appreciated.

I have since attempted to boot from the Windows 7 install disk by using both the OS 10.6.3 System Preferences/Startup Disk and from within Windows XP using the Boot Camp Control Panel. In both cases, all I saw was a black screen with a “Select CD-ROM Boot Type” and flashing cursor. No keyboard input was possible.
If anyone encounters this problem, go to the Boot Camp/Installation and Storage discussion and search for “Select CD-ROM Boot Type”. Hal Jay Greene has an excellent article here titled “Select CD-ROM Boot Type Error installing Windows 7 in Boot Camp walkthrough” dated Mar 20, 2010 that walks one through the process of creating a boot disk for installing Windows 7 x64. Two minor comments on his discussion. John Anderson’s blog is at www.AndersonsHatch.com (note extra s) and Imgburn can be downloaded free from www.imgburn.com.
I used Mr. Greene’s procedure and the resultant boot disk loaded Windows 7 correctly.
Unfortunately, a new issue arose. Installing Windows 7 over Windows XP requires a clean install that eliminates all Boot Camp installations. After installing Windows 7, I attempted to load Boot Camp by inserting the Mac SL installation disk and clicking on Setup in the Boot Camp folder. The result was this error message: “Boot Camp x64 is unsupported on this computer model”. Fortunately, there is a procedure that worked for me, and my MacPro, to bypass this error message. It can be found near the bottom of this article http://blog.andersonshatch.com/2009/01/11/windows-7-x64-on-a-macbook-pro-guide/ on John Anderson’s blog.

A required iTunes component is not installed 42404 with iTunes 10 after update

Hi,
So I updated last night to the latest iTunes and now whenever I start the program I get this error:
A required iTunes component is not installed... - 42404...
I've tried uninstalling and deleting the iTunes preferences but it keeps on popping up. I can't sync my iPhone with it like this. Should I reinstall the Mobile Device stuff?
Thanks

Sometimes this one indicates that your FairPlay is broken, but other components might be dodgy.
Let's try a complete uninstall/reinstall as per the following document:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
Does that help with your 42404?

Upgrading but not installing Flash with MSI

I have an environment of some 600 PCs running XP. A few have Flash installed, most do not. Those that have Flash installed are a variety of versions.
It's my intent to perform a Flash install using MSI and GPO, and that's (mostly) tested and working.
However, I don't want to install Flash anywhere it isn't already. The systems that do have Flash installed are effectively random across the organization, not matching up in any way to GPO.Doing that I want to use the MSI, so I can have it automatically install to the machine.
Is there a way to install/upgrade Flash only on those systems that already have Flash installed, and not install it elsewhere?
Thanks

I don't know how to do that, although it sounds like a very good idea.
Have you seen the new 10.1 Admin Guide if it contains any suggestions: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/flash_player_admin_guide.html ?
You will probably need to write some sort of script to test for a current FP installation before you proceed with the update.
