additional hard drives will not be broadcast - MacPro
My Mac pro:
In early 2008
4 GB of ram
El Capitan
2 x 2.8 GHz Quad - Core Intel Xeon
ATI Radeon HD 2600 XT 256 MB
500 GB SATA drive
I write this new cause I seem to have lost the original - post not found... Laughing out loud
I installed 2 HD to my PowerMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), G4 - AGP: 450: sawtooth: 2 GB ram: 2HD, I did as stated by opening the door, remove them, then you place them in the Mac Pro HD bays. Unfortunately neither one will be recognized. Has been used for storage, so there is no BONE inside, just files, but the other was / is a disc master so that's probably the reason why he clung to restart, he got confused about which lead to start with, old or new... there mount Lion
Additional discs for the Mac Pro will I be some kind, ATA disks that do not show.
Mac Pro drives are SATA drives and have a connector two distinctive parts which provides power on the side of 15 pins and data on side 7-pin:

Have you used your Mac Pro sleds? you tighten the screws so that they were all "just tight" and slightly compress the washers? you took care to make sure that disks have been completely recessed in the bottom connectors of basket? Have you had problems to just close the door?

I have a MacBook from 2008. 4 years ago I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive. I have thousands if photos on it. IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times. Can someone help me?

I moved my iPhoto on an external hard drive.
Did you move the iPhoto library for the external hard drive or the iPhoto application, or both?
How is formatted the external hard drive? Is the file system on the drive Mac OS extended (journaled) or other system files? Is the drive directly connected by USB or similar, or is it a SIN?
IPhoto on the external hard drive will not launch despite the force quit and relaunch several times.
I don't understand - if you force quit smoking, launches the application, or you can not force it quit?
IPhoto is suspended without doing anything, when you launch?
What version of iPhoto does? And what version of Mac OS X?

Hard drive will not accept any CD or DVD
I have a MacBook Pro, OS 10.6.8 version. The hard drive will not accept a CD or a DVD. Thinking maybe I left a floppy disk in the drive, I tried to eject, but the eject button does not eject anything. I have not tried to insert a disk for a long time, so do not know how long it could have been a problem without me realizing it. I tried to shut down the computer and restart, but this does not solve the problem. I did some research using the Apple Hardware Test, but the instructions say insert the Applications install disc 2. Unfortunately, as I can't insert a disc, I can't deal with the problem in this way? Any suggestions?

Original title: startup problem
I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error. I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed. Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot. My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit). Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc? And if so, how can I restore it? The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left. When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.
Hi DougEisenmann,
Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.
If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

My external hard drive will not go up and I'm not sure what the question is
My external hard drive will show up in disk utility, but not of viewfinder. I tried to hit "repair disk" and he says it will take 4 hours, but after a while, that he's finally going to say that it is impossible to repair the disk and I need to make a backup.
Help?
Almost always, the question is quite simple: the hard drive is faulty or has failed. So I hope that you have a backup of everything that is on, it is absolutely essential.

R51 new HARD drive will not restore factory correctly state with discs
I caught a HDD of 80 GB on old computer my gf, and I thought I would use it to replace the 40 GB hard drive in my ThinkPad R51. There is not really important info on my old hdd, so I just created a factory recovery disks, put on the new hard drive (both are PATA) and ran from Rescue and Recovery. After completing restore to factory state all the new hard drive will do is Rescue and new Recovery charge. It does not load Windows. Is there anything else I need to do?
Shot in the hip here, but ISTR that some versions of R & R restore the image of 'restoration' in HD, then you restart to R & R and run a restore it to complete the restore of the rest of the car.
As I said, just something I've seen elsewhere. Worth, perhaps,

A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start
Hello.
I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.
When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.
When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen
a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.
Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.
A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.
In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.
You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac. Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.
You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

Seagate external hard drive will not mount
I can't get a TB Seagate Backup Plus 2 player to mount on my Macbook Pro 2011. When I plug it into the USB port, disk utility detects it. I ran check disk and it said the necessary repair disk. Then I ran the repair disk and it said it was successful. However, the player still don't let it go. The disc appears on the other Mac, but not my Macbook Pro. It is not the problem of the USB port either because I was able to mount other external hard drives in order to use it. The reader has already worked on my Mac until I updated my OS from Snow Leopard in Yosemite.
Something could be wrong with my Mac that prevents the installation disc, or is it more likely to be a problem with the drive?
I guess it is related to software driver for Seagate to support the NTFS on mac.
OS X support NTFS natively, but read-only.
The installation of the supplied driver allows read-write access, but it is obsolete seamingly.
I just got the last of Seagate site, but it is still pretty new. The Info said taking in charge until Mavericks only.
If this is the case, you can take a from below.
- Uninstall the current driver and expect to release a new Seagate. In the meantime, you can have read access to the disk.
- Uninstall the current driver and get the latest version of the driver by the developer instead of Seagate. The last time the developer (Paragon) even on El Capitan and without limitation to Seagate drive. (Paragon is not free but has the trial period - http://www.paragon-software.com/home/ntfs-mac/ )
- Uninstall the current driver, then take the alternative. The son will be your help for this. - Need to write to the drive (ntfs) outside Yosemite

Pavilion p6610f Desktop Hard Drive will not be reset to zero when you restart
HP Pavilion p6610f than Desktop PC Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit HDD (I think) could not restart. There was no indication of a problem before me by clicking on the button restart. I have this sometimes just to clarify things, looks like things work better. When it restarted, it went to a screen with 2 choices 'launch start repair or load normally. I chose startup repair. He loaded some files & drivers but finally comes to the screen 'blue '. I tried to start the computer with all the 'F' keys, none worked, always came back to the blue screen. Tried to start the recovery discs I did, same thing. I started with the ERD that I did it. Same thing. Would not not even go to Safe Mode. Nothing. But, there is no prior problems. Nothing made me think that I should do something to deal with a disaster. Then a "friend of a friend" came and replaced the hard 'for free' drive and installed windows 8 (which I hate) and now the computer makes a ticking noise and a sound plaintive, as when there is a bad DVD in the drive, it work so now slow, freezes, takes internet forever and made so much noise I think it's going to explode. I think I should replace the hard drive with the "right" and then use my recovery disks. He said that windows 8 was just too big of an OS for the hard drive, it took, that is why it is slow. But couldn't I erase or reformat the hard disk, and then use my recovery disks. As it is, I have no HP software on the computer more. Is there a way to get the data from my old hard drive? I'm willing to take the time to learn how to do all this by myself if I knew that this is possible and if it is useful? [edited font color and characters]
Hello Ty965,
I understand that you fell on some hard drive problems and a friend of a friend installed a former player for you and since he turned slowly and noisily. Personally, I recommend that you buy a new hard drive and then review and follow the instructions on the HP Support document: performing a recovery of HP (Windows 7) system, which will guide you through the recovery process and get your computer back operational.
If you don't have the recovery discs for your computer you can buy them for a cheap price of HP Media software and the drivercommand.
I hope that I have addressed the issue to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!

Can't reinstall XP service pack 3 on the new hard drive, will not cross of EULA
Computer VOstro 220 (Dell) under the age of 18 months. Internal HD died and was replaced two weeks ago with a HD internal 320, the speed of 7200 Western Digital. (Micro Center, a computer store large installed the HD that I bought at the store)
I used the OEM "reinstall Windows XP service Pack 3" DVD. With F12 I put the computer to boot from the DVD.
DVD boots, I chose the option to install the OS
Fisrt I see the message that the program checks the material. No error message
Then I see the screen with the words "Windows Setup". Five minutes later, Microsoft EULA (end-user contract) is displayed. IT does not scroll, I used the arrow keys on the keyboard to get at the end of the EULA was waiting for some kind of "type option"I agree". But there is nothing.
Nothing more happens. No additional configuration.
What is the problem? What should I do to get the Windows XP installation to continue?
Why not install the operating system?

TOSHIIBA external hard drive will not be displayed in "My computer" (Windows 7)
Several months ago, I bought a Toshiba external hard drive and used to back up my laptop. I have not used since then, but needed to recover a lost file today. Unfortunately, when I plug the external hard drive, it will not be displayed in my computer. When I connect, I get the sound that makes Windows when connect you something. The hard drive turns on and I can feel it running. But it does not appear in my computer. If I go into the Device Manager and look under ' hard drives it appears as "USB device external Toshiba 3.0." When it is offline, it does not appear in the list of disk drives in Device Manager.
Advice how I can get to appear in 'My Computer' so I can actually access the files? Thank you!
Hello
This problem may be caused by one of the following:
(a) your player does not have a drive letter assigned in disk management

Hard drives will not remain in mode 'sleep'
For two weeks, something strange happens. My hard drives in sleep mode and out instantly. They will not remain in mode 'sleep'. Any hour of delay, I place, they will behave like this. So even if I place a time to sleep 1 minute, you will hear them go to sleep and instantly out every minute, without interruption. It's used to work perfectly before for months. I have not installed anything again (with the exception of Windows updates). I checked with performance monitor, if something is accessing the disks, but there is no drive activity whatsoever. I also tried to stop the process as much as possible, but that did not help either. The only thing I've changed three weeks ago was my graphics (Radeon 6850 to GTX580) but I'm not sure that the problem started then. Only two weeks ago, I noticed the issue. If anyone else has experienced something like this?
