ZZ7A-GD65 + 3TB Hard Disk Issue

Z77A-GD65 has 3TB Infinity feature that supports 3TB hard disk. However, I am not able to get 3TB hard disk space.
MSI Support gave me a manual on how to handle hard disk above 2.2TB. According to the manual:
1. Go to bios/Boot Configuration and select UEFI Boot Drive BBS Priority
2. Press enter to select UEFI: DVD-ROM as 1st Boot device
3. Select UEFI: DVD-ROM as 1st Boot device
4. Save Exit
5. When installing OS, please make sure that you should see the whole 3TB HDD if you want to have the 3TB HDD set as one whole partition.
Or you can divide partitions if you want according to the size that you need and then start to install Windows 7 64 bits.
However, I am stuck at step 2. Under UEFI Boot Drive BBS Priority, it only has 2 Options ( Built in EFI Shells or Disabled). There is no DVDROM options to choose at all.
My hard drive is WD 3TB Caviar Green. DVD ROM is Asus 24x drw-24b3st.
I bought this MSI Z77A-GD65 because it supports 3TB hard disk. In other manuals, the BIOS itself has the turn on and off feature of 2.2TB Infinity feature. After flashing my BIOS with the latest BIOS available to download which is v10.5, I still can't see the feature function.
Please advise and assist.
On the side note, legal actions can be taken for giving false information to customer on this 3TB Infinity feature which actually doesn't exist in the BIOS?

I'm a bit confused now...
I don't know why, but UEFI cannot see your optical drive. Maybe there's something wrong with your hardware.
But if you want to give it another try, I have 2 more ideas:
- connect your DVD-ROM to diferent SATA port (maybe even unplug the hard drive), and see if you can perform step 2 from your first post (or if the device Fs0 appears after "map -r").
- connect a fat16/fat32 formatted pendrive. If the pendrive is listed after "map -r" you could try to install Windows from pendrive. There are many ways to do that, but I have done this like it's in this tutorial: http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/configure-a-usb-flash-drive-to-be-a-windows-7-installation-platform/1446 After you prepare the pendrive, use it with UEFI shell instead of DVD.

Hard Disk issue with Toshiba Satellite P755-S5390

Well, I'm at my wit's end on this one so after several months of searching for an answer I'm presenting this one to my fellow Toshiba users.
I have a Toshiba Satellite P755 that I purchased around March of 2012 so it is well out of warranty unfortunately. I'm having an odd issue that could just be a faulty hard drive but I wanted to see if anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas that might lead this to be a recurring issue with other Toshibas.
The first symptoms my laptop experienced were the computer locking up and the hard drive light staying lit constantly. This first happened right after I was using WIn 7 disk management to shrink the main partition so I could create a second partition. The exact step this happened at was when I had already shrunk the main partition and had just finished creating the second partition. It hadn't even refreshed the disk management screen when it just locked up completely.
I left it locked up for almost a half hour and then did a forced shutdown and when it came back up it was really slow and the hard drive light was staying lit constantly. Eventually it wouldn't even start up and the drive light still stayed on constantly (not even blinking, just solid on).
My first thought was obviously hard disk failure so I grabbed a spare that should have worked perfectly as it was just harvested from a perfectly fine little netbook. I popped the drive in and reinstalled Win 7 and it worked fine...for a few weeks. Then it did the exact same thing except this time it eventually just wouldn't recognize any boot media. I cursed my bad luck in having two failed hard drives and used an older one that I had spare that, as I recall, worked fine when I harvested it from the old laptop it came out of. It worked again...for a couple of days. Then it did the same thing as the first (hard drive light staying lit, not responding hardly at all). I even hooked all these little laptop hard drives up to my file servers SATA ports and they loaded fine and I was able to back stuff up.
My dilemma here is that I know it could just be that I was using old hard drives and maybe by some chance they all failed because they were old but I'd hate to buy a new hard drive if that's not the problem.
Has anyone had any similar experiences with their Toshibas? I even tried testing the RAM and even removing one module at a time. I also tried pulling the battery and running it straight from the charger thinking maybe it was shorting something out.
As an additional note. One interesting thing that happened after the third drive went bad was that I plugged in the original hard drive thinking I could further troubleshoot and it worked perfectly fine for about a month. It then proceeded to do the same thing again. That's about where I am now. The only other thing I did was yesterday when I pulled the battery and tried it. It did respond very well for at least long enough to almost finish the reinstall to factory partitions but it failed at the last minute and rebooted. It then loaded the Windows startup screen and locked up with the hard drive light staying lit solid.
Sorry for the novel but I wanted to make sure all my troubleshooting steps were documented so no one suggested those. My last step is to pop in another used drive and install Ubuntu and see what happens then.
Solved!

How did you reinstall Win 7 on the replacement drive? Did you use the the Toshiba Recovery Disks you should have created as per the directions on page 74 of your User's Guide, following the recovery directions on page 76, and return your unit to its factory default out-of-the-box setup? What happens if you return your unit to its factory default set up? This is considered the gold standard test on whether you have a hardware problem/failure, as opposed to a driver-software-conflict problem.
You seem quite familiar with Windows Disk Management software, yet you don't mention running the built in disk 'Error-checking' utility.
If you believe you may be suffering from some kind of hard drive problems, this would seem a logical step. You can access this utility by clicking on 'Start' -> click on 'Computer' -> right click on 'C:' drive -> click on 'Properties' -> click on the 'Tools' tab -> under 'Error-checking' click the 'Check now...' button -> put check marks on both the 'Automatically fix....' and 'Scan for...' options -> click the 'Start' button. The utility will inform you it can't be run now and ask if you want to schedule for the next restart, agree and restart your computer. Depending on the size of your hard drive and the problems the utility may encounter this could take from 20 minutes to several hours.
Let us know what happens. Good luck.

Lenovo Hard Disk Issue - Felt bad about the service

This email is regards to the complaint on Lenovo All in desktop i purchased which is still there in warranty.
I purchased All in one desktop on 25/02/2014 in one of the outlet of Reliance Digital, Bangalore,India.
Below is the detail of the product -
SN : CSxxxxxxxx
Product Family : C240
Machine type : 10113.
I was getting "Error 1962 : Operating system not found" . and raised a request to rectify the problem. The service engineer came with new hard drive for replacing it. I asked for my data and they told it's customer responsibility to make the data back up. He himself gave the hard disk which was there with hard disk and asked me to back up with some third party vendor.
I visited Cadons, Bangalore for data back up and after checking Cadons engineer told hard drive is completely dead better contactLenovo again so that they will repair it and give one it is repaired i he told he will be able to make data back up.
I again called customer care executive and told that third party vendor was not able to make the data back because of hard drive failure but they are refusing to repair hard drive and each time i am receiving a call from service engineer and are just trying to close the ticket at the earliest by replacing the hard drive. No one is bothering about repairing the hard drive and helping me to take my data back up.
For your reference :Ticket number : TVSE/IDEA/7006373733/
I also sent email to [email protected] from whom i am receiving the emails stating that they will resolve the issue but no action was taken from last 20 days.
I just wanted to check whether Lenovo execut\ives are really meant to serve customer issues? If somebody is there please let me know. Otherwise i will just throw this harddisk and say good bye to Lenovo and it's products in future.

External Hard Disk Issue

I have a Seagate Free Agent external USB hard disk (250 GB) which I had reformatted to FAT32. This draws power from the USB port and seems to work perfectly on my Linux (Fedora Core 8) and Windows (XP) boxes. On the Mac, when it is plugged in, it asks me whether it should Initialize, Ignore or Eject. I choose "Ignore" and then go on to mount it from the terminal using the commands sudo mkdir /Volume/FA sudo mount /dev/disk2s1 /Volume/FA. The device name has to be found out first using Disk Utility. After it is mounted, I can read, write, delete etc. without any problem.
Question: Why does it not mount this disk automatically? Even when it is mounted why does it not put a disk icon on my Desktop?
I have no issues with smaller FAT32 pen drives which show up on my Desktop a few seconds after I plug them in.
Thanks

It should mount the disc automatically. I have no idea why yours does not. If OS X asks to initialize a drive it's because it does not recognize the disk format, so perhaps it has something to do with how the drive was formatted or partitioned or both.

X230 Hard disks issue when deploying in corporate environment

We got a batch of X230 laptops recently and i've cam across an odd problem. Wuhile deploying win7 I hit some problems with the disks. We wont be using the SSD disk that comes preinstalled so w will install Win7 on the large disk. Heres my problem. some laptops have differing hard disks. when diskpart is run on one the SSD is shown as Disk 0., when its run on the other with differetn disks its shown as disk 1
Laptop 1
Seagate - 298GB disk (ST320LT007)
SanDisk SSD - 22GB -
Run Diskpart
Disk 0 : 22GB
Disk 1 : 298GB
Laptop 2
HGST - 298GB (HST725032A7E630)
Samusng SSD - 22GB (MZMPA024HMCD)
Run Diskpart
Disk 0 : 298GB
Disk 1 : 22GB
Obviously this will be a problem when running a deploy job. It will require 2 build jobs and the tech will have to enter the BIOS to see what hard disk is installed. Any idea why this is like this. Am I able to change this in the BIOS!

Guys,
Several months on now has anyone found an answer to this?
I have exactly the same issue where I want to be able to choose which classification each disk goes to.
I understand that by design you want to abstract the paths and LUNs etc from the users, even the admins, but you need to be able to say "this disk is Gold, this disk is Bronze".
Ideally you would be able to change the classification while the machine is running and have that change trigger a storage migration. VMM could then choose the best path for that classification and migrate that disk while leaving the rest of the VM where
it is.
I understand you can perform a storage migration after deployment and in 2012 R2 you can specify different paths per disk but I really don't want myself or my other admins worrying about paths, just classifications. Within storage migration you cant just
specify a classification and this approach seems to go against the very design.
Basically I don't think Microsoft has thought this one through very well.
Any new suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Michael

W510 3Tb hard disk support?

When I connect a 3Tb external HD by USB port, size shows only 746 Gb.
Does the W510 support hard disks bigger than 2Gb?
Bios version 1.37, HD Seagate ST3000DM001, Windows 7 Professional SP1, Intel SATA AHCI controller version 11.2.0.1006.

The problem is not the T510. First, many or most external USB housings do not support 3TB drives. (the limitation is in the USB-> SATA bridge circuit) I will assume yours does. The disk must be initialized using a GPT partition table, not MBR. For native support, you must be using windows7 64-bit or Vista SP1 64-bit. 32-bit operating systems cannot directly use GPT disks.You will need to re-initialize the drive and recreate the partition structure. The MBR structure has pointers too small to address anything beyond 2.2 TB.
Here is a fairly good explanation in wikipedia that is mostly correct:

Help please, Hard disk issues and HPQ confusion

Hi all,
I have a Compaq N800c EVO laptop, well 2 but thats a story. And I'm having a game with the hard drive.
Until monday my main laptop was an FIC A360, but this Compaq will be taking it's place.
So I have the N800c which came with a compaq stickered 40gig fujitsu MHS2040AT, it boots and works, OS and all. The fujitsu is ATA-100 and oem equipment in the notebook.
The FIC I'm retiring has a retail Hitachi Travelstar 7K100 60Gig hard disk. This works (OS and all) in the FIC but in the N800c nothing, just a flashing cursor on the top left of the screen. The Bios can see it, self tests ok, but won't boot it.
If set to cable select I get the same, If i set it to device 0 it gives a non system disk error.
I thought this was strange so I've also tried 2 Fujitsu MHN2200AT 20gig drives again, no joy. Both had clean OS installs.
I flashed the system Bios up to the latest revision from the support section of the site, tried Hiachis drive config utility to hold the ATA to 66, and tried all of the above again.
I even have a second of these laptops i purchased without a hard disk and almost disgarded as i thought this error was the laptop. Since discovering this all of this behavior is repeatable in the second laptop!
I've read about drive firmware being locked down on IBM thinkpads, is this a similar thing? Where do i get the correct firmware to apply to my drive? to allow it to work with this laptop. Or Where do I get a Bios that isn't prohibitive for the Laptop.
I have written to Hitachi this morning, and now posting here this lunch time
Many thanks and kind regards
Richard

Not so, I've done this on a few machines hence wanting to do it on this one.
At initial boot up it'll discover a whole bunch of new hardware and the items it can't find will become yellow question marks in the device manager. i'm going to have a little play with one of the scrificial fujitsus later and verify either way then i'll report back. I'm fairly confident what i'm seeing is a firmware clash though as there is no logical reason the drive shouldn't load. It should at least go through to some activity, but its almost as if the computer has asked if its in its club, then when the drive says no it refuses to continue. In the bios and hitachis hard drive utilities it tests as ok. As do the two little fujitsus.
IBM thinkpad drives are "ibm'd" in their firmware anyone know of compaq doing this?

40GB ipod photo hard disk issue

As of a month ago, my 6 mo. old ipod photo began to act funny. It's not completely malfunctioning like others I've read about in the forum. But when I manually select a song further down in a playlist or in a different playlist, the ipod begins to vibrate enough that it was noticeable. This does not happen when it plays songs in order from a playlist. It only happens when manually selecting songs. It also takes a couple minutes to initially start up when turned on and at times can take up to 5 minutes to be recognized by itunes. When I first started using my ipod none of these events occurred. But they have become increasingly a problem. Is this a problem with the hard disk that I should have looked at? Or is it something that the next firmware update will take care of?

Reformatting the Hard-Disk issue?

I recently did the zero-out erase several times due to issues with the system running smoothly. I expected to come out of the reformat with a clean HD. However, after I partitioned a new space, there were three folders and two files remaining on the disk. I'm afraid that it may be some corrupt files that is preventing OS X from operating efficiently. The files take up a bit over 300MB. Called into Apple care services and talked with a senior advisor, but he doesn't seem to know what the files there may signify... Anybody else seem to have any files and folders left after reformatting their hard drive?
Note: I tried to zero-out erase the partition to remove the files several times after the wipe, but no cigar... Also, tried repartitioning, but the 300MB+ files remained persistently.

Okay. I'm going to spend an hour of my life teaching you something...
I've recently upgraded the hard drive in my 17" MacBook Pro. The original drive is now in an enclosure, but I haven't done anything with its contents yet.
Here is a picture of that drive, below which is a screenshot of the drive as it appears in Disk Utility...
Now I'm going to reformat the drive to demonstrate to you, in spite of your expectations, that what I told you above is true...
First, I'll select the drive in DU (it is called Other World Computing here because that's who makes the enclosure) and choose Erase:
Now, the drive has been erased, its two partitions destroyed, and we see that in the new volume, 425 MB of space have been used for 40 files.
You mentioned something about partitioning your drive (although by your description, it isn't exactly clear what you meant), so I've partitioned my drive in half, and we see that 301.1 MB of space is now being used on the volume Untitled 1. (Take my word, please, that the volume Untitled 2 is using about the same amount of space for the 40 files it also contains.
Now, let's look at what's inside those folders and files using RBrowser. (Apologies in advance for screwing up the formatting of your topic by posting such a large image.):
So, here we are. The folders and files that are created when you format a hard drive are created by the system. It is normal behavior, and behavior you should expect to see when formatting a hard drive anew.
Good luck!

ELITE 8100 i5 - 3TB HARD DISK

I have an i5 Elite 8100, Windows 7 Professional 64Bit, 4GB RAM 160GB Main HDD.

SunFire X2200 and SAS JBOD J4200 - removal of hard disk issue

Hello,
We just purchased one X200 M2 server and a J4200 JBOD storage attached to SAS HBA of the server. The J4200 array works and we can access all the disks properly, create ZFS pools - all works.
We have a problem when we try to identify the correct position of a failed disk (for example) on the J4200 drive slot.
For example disks c5t5d0 and c5t6d0 are actually in slots 1 and 9 in the array.
We tried using cfgadm command but we are getting errors:
# cfgadm -x locator c5::dsk/c5t5d0
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: unavailable
# cfgadm -c unconfigure c5::dsk/c5t5d0
cfgadm: Hardware specific failure: failed to unconfigure SCSI device: I/O error
What is the correct way to identify the drive position of a disk device when using SAS JBOD array like J4200?

Hello Paul,
the drive should work in your system, except the drive is damaged/malfunctioning.
Have you tried a single drive or several of these ?
I would suggest that you check if the drive is properly seated in the backplane. Is the mounting backet properly attached ? I had a drive that was properly detected, but worked un-reliable. After re-attaching the mounting bracket to the drive, the errors vanished.
Applying Sun firmware to a non-Sun device doesn't work, because the update utility checks the manufacturer of the installed firmware.
I'm using these inexpensive drives in my private systems (F280R, Blade 1000/2000). Some of the drives have been taken by the previous owner/seller out of service due to "preventive" maintainance. One has even grown defects.

Wrong support on hard disk failure?

My iMac had been getting progressively slower (applications would lock up with the spinning wheel for minutes at a time before letting me do anything).
After one such lockup, I hard booted and the iMac didn't come back - just stuck at a grey screen with the spinning wheel.
I rang Apple Support and on a long support call was taken through various checks before the conclusion of hard disk problem was diagnosed. We tried to repair using the disk utility, but that was unsuccessful and given that I had a time machine backup, the advice was to reformat, reload Snow Leopard, re-download and upgrade to Lion and the use Time Machine to restore.
All fine (and I am back up and running now) - but one element of the support advice didn't ring true to me and I ignored it! So I'm asking for opinions on whether I was right to do so.
I was told to use a Time Machine backup from before the slow behaviour started, as by restoring I could restore the disk problem in the files loaded back from the Time Machine backup. This made no sense to me. I had a hard disk failure - sure - and Disk Utility confirmed this. By reformatting the hard disk, I've eliminated the hard disk issue (albeit that having failed once I guess I may get other bad sectors/failures in the future). The files on Time Machine - in whatever state they are in, are just files. By copying them back onto the disk, I can't damage the disk - I may just end up with damaged files. If some of those files were operating system files, then I could end up with problems - but as the operating system was cleanly installed - not from Time Machine - then even this shouldn't be an issue.
Seems to me the only issue I may have is with my own files - restored from TM - if they happened to be on a bad part of the disk and were damaged.
Do you agree? Or am I missing something about being able to create bad areas on a disk by copying bad files?

To add to this - given that I've had no replies, given with perhaps others have faced similar issues without a solutions.
My problem has recurred - the disk failure repeated - again unable to repair the harddisk and having to reformat, reinstall Lion and restore from Time Machine again.
Two points here:
I continue to believe the support information I was given was wrong - and will be talking support again to test this. My harddisk post reformat was fine (disk utility showed no problems), and post restoring from Time Machine the harddisk again was fine. But after a week, the disk has failed again. I don't believe that restoring files can cause this, but think I must have a bad harddisk and that the real answer is to replace the harddisk
I was told (on the original support call) not to use the latest backup - as that might bring back corrupted files that could recreate the disk problem. I ignored this as above as I felt the support was wrong - it making no sense to me that on a good disk, copying bad files could corrupt the disk. However, when you use the migration assistant you do not get an opportunity to choose the date you are copying data from - so there seems to be no way of doing what the support team told me to do - by default I get the very latest backup. Am I missing something?

Invalid node structure error when verifying hard disk, please help

My 27" Mid 2011 iMac is having hard disk issues. I attempted to repair the disk but received an error that said the disk cannot be repaired and needs to be re-formatted. I have all my files backed up to an external hard drive so I erased and formatted the disk. After reformatting, I ran the verify disk function and got the message saying the HD appears to working properly. I reload OSX Lion and within a day, my computer freezes up and acts as if something is wrong. When I run the verify disk, I get the Invalid Node Structure error multiple times and then the message saying the disk cannot be repaired and I need to reformat the drive. I have completed this process several times and have had no luck. I have looked at a few forums with people who have had somewhat similar problems but am still unsure. I have seen people recommend programs like Disk Warrior to repair issues the hard disk utility cannot but I don't want to spend $100 dollars on this program if my hard disk is damaged and needs to be replaced. Any suggestions? Thank you

Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or go to another authorized service provider.
Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional — ask if you need guidance.

Time Capsule Hard Disk Upgrade - how can I move old backup to new HD

Yesterday I bought a new 3TB hard disk to replace the old, internal time capsule 1TB hard disk. Then I placed the old one in a 3.5" USB case and tried to move the TM back-up from the old HD (now usb connected to the mac) to the new (now)-internal HD of the Time Capsule (connected with ethernet to the mac).
I'm using mavericks, and I followed this guide, but something went wrong and the migration stopped during the night, forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
I deeply googled, looking for a guide that could explain how to complete the upgrade without a glitch, but there are infinite number of guide on how to change hard disk, while a totality of zero guides on how to complete the migration process after upgrading the internal HD.
Has someone succeeded in doing all the process?
System Information:
          • • OSX Version - 10.9.1          • • Type of Mac - MacMini mid-2011
          • • What's being backed-up - 501,74 GB
          • • Backup Location - Time Capsule - WiFi (usually - but Ethernet during migration process) - 2nd generation, Model A1302 1TB (now 3TB).
P.S. Do you have any suggestion for "Impossible to convert __. Installa newer version of iWork." It happens all the time i try to move Backups.backupdb from a USB HD to a new one (yes, I remove the check mark from "Ignore ownership on this volume").

I don't see anything you have done wrong.
The fact that it started to copy the file and you left it running is fine.
Where things go wrong from there is anyones guess.. did the computer just decide to go to sleep?? Have you turned off sleep and any auto shut down. That can affect copying of large files.
Did you verify the sparsebundle.. any error or corruption in the old sparsebundle could prevent it copying.
See A5 http://pondini.org/TM/Troubleshooting.html
It could be later firmware which IMHO is just not stable.. I would run no later than 7.6.1 in an old TC.
And of course Mavericks.. it uses an major change of networking protocol.. and so it could just decide in the middle of the night that the TC is no longer there.
forcing me today to start a new backup from zero.
Can I just say.. this is a better idea anyway.
Put the old disk in a draw.. and simply keep it for 6months and if you never need it by then .. you can wipe it and use it for something else. A clean fresh TM backup is far more likely to work properly in case you need to do a recovery especially if you upgrade installed Mavericks.
