• PowerMac G3, 9.2.2, and inability to format disks/diskettes

  So rather a strange question, but I have been unable to locate any information about any similar problem to what I saw. Currently have met a Performa 6200 CD and a Powermac G3 266 Mhz. My main problem is with the Powermac, and that it will not recognize or format disks (floppy and CD).

  If a disk with some data on it (Mac and PC format and all two accepted on the Performa), it gives only a message to initialize the disc and only Mac 800 K or BACK 800 k. However, an attempt to initialize the disk results in a clerical error and fails. The same error occurs when it is given to a blank CD, including the pop - up application initialization in the PC format, but fails every time. Disk utility ran and not errors in the system, so not sure on what could be the problem.

  Any help to solve this is appreciated. I am trying to recover data from floppy disks to backup my Mac SE (definitely failed SCSI drive), but while I can access most data on the Performa, only G3 gives the opportunity for me to move the files from Mac disks only to other CD/USB/Ethernet media.

  You do not "format" dtive optical media using the OS disk utility.

  For the CD, you will need to find a burning software that is compatible with the old Mac OS, as a version of olde of Roxio Toast that will run on Mac OS 9.2.2 for formatting and burning a disc with you setup to transfer data and burned to a disc.

  Search for Roxio Toast 5 this could work as its requirements are Mac OS 8.6 or later.

  I don't think that any old version of MacOS had all abilty to burn discs in native mode. You need hardwarw/software of third parties to achieve this.

  I also believe, the CD drive is a CD-ROM drive and has no way to record on a disc.

  So you have to find/purchase/use an external, compatible player/CD burner in any case.

  In addition, referring to CDs, first Macs and early PowerMac that had integrated CD players could only read and use optical discs of 650 MB size and these discs had to be the r/RW type. These first Macs were unable to recognize the later 700 MB size CD - R /-RW.

  I'm not sure of your disk problem. There may be simply that the floppy drive has a problem with his read/write head that prevents the diskettes to be read or written on properly.

  There used to be floppy drive cleaning discs that could clean up the read/write heads, but I don't know if these are available any longer or if that resolve the problems with your floppy drive or not.

  I found a bunch of floppy drive different kits on Amazon of cleaning.

  So, check out this possibility, as well.

• Satellite C650D - 12 c no bootable device - insert the diskette boot & a press

  Hello

  I have a C650D that worked very well in a week ago.
  Stop ok, it refused to start at the next startup.

  It comes up saying "no boot device - insert the diskette boot & press any key".
  So I blocked a recovery bootable dvd and the same thing came, but although the dvd player "trembled" when I inserted the disc, it does not seem to watch it at all when I rebooted.
  I rebooted again & you press F12 to check the boot order. 1st is usb, then cd/dvd, lan, floppy, then hdd/ssd drive.
  I chose cd/dvd and then a wait of a few seconds, he says ' disc error has occurred. Press ctrl + alt + delete to restart.

  As well the HDD & dvd player display correctly in the bios.

  I plugged a usb dvd drive, put in a recovery cd, rebooted & it started to boot from the USB, but then stopped doing anything after that the first bit of the info came on the screen.
  I tried several bootable CD and they all do the same thing. They begin the startup, then freeze. For example, if I put in an XP installation disc I get - "Press any key to boot from the CD" usb (one), then "Setup inspects your hardware", then a black screen.

  For example, I tried to change anything that could help in the bios, the SATA controller mode, but nothing has no effect on the situation.

  Any ideas, anyone please?

  Thank you very much.

  EDIT:
  I just tried to boot from the USB stick with the hard drive removed from the system and the boot process continues normally. If I try and boot from the internal dvd player if he still doesn't see any disk...

  > I just tried to boot from the USB stick with the hard drive removed from the system and the boot process continues normally. If I try and boot from the internal dvd player if he still doesn't see any disk...

  This means that if you remove the HARD drive, you can boot from the USB flash drive, but you cannot boot from CD/DVD drive even if the HARD drive is removed?

  It seems really strange, but I think this means that either the controller SATA on the motherboard is defective and therefore it is not possible to boot from CD/DVD or HARD disk drive. Or it could also be that the ODD and HARD drive is malfunctioning. But it would be really strange that the two aircraft would begin to malfunction at the same time

  So maybe the second idea is not true however, it means that something has happened to the motherboard.

  But try this: access the BIOS by pressing F2 at the beginning. Now set to the default settings by pressing on F9 and then save the changes by pressing F10.
  Now try to start it again using a recovery disk

• LSI Logic SCSI Ultra320 RAID Firmware and the BIOS utility. Cannot make the diskettes.

  I downloaded the pack sp29637 for Firmware LSI Logic Ultra320 SCSI RAID and the BIOS utility to my Workstation xw 8200. I'm doing a disk from the downloaded file. I runs the file, but when it tells me to put a floppy disk in the A: drive and I confirm, the window closes and the diskette is not made. Looks like the copy in the file program is corrupted.

• Is there any material available to download documents on diskette?

  Years ago (25 +) that I wrote the outline for a book, and I recorded it on a diskette.  I recently found again.   I don't know if there's someone old enough to remember 'disks', but I would really try to access once what would be my thesis.  It is not readable in a box in the attic for years.  But still, I would try... Thank you!

  If it is a 3.5 "floppy drive, there are a number of USB floppy drives connected.  See your favorite online retailer.  An example:

• Getting family XP Edition installation diskettes

  Hello

  I have several computers running different versions of XP Home, XP Prof, Vista and Windows 7.

  The computer running XP Home just did an update (about 12 or 13 updates have been downloaded and installed - I think it's the SP3 update).   The computer does not start in Windows XP Home Edition now.

  I read posts on the way to try to solve this problem, but I apparently need installation of this program-specific records:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=15491F07-99F7-4A2D-983D-81C2137FF464 & displaylang = in

  Right now I'm on computer running Windows 7 - wife I can download the above file on a CD, but when I try to do six disks, it does nothing.  I tried to do the same thing with one of my computers running XP Prof (SP1), but it will not create the six discs there either.  Of course, I just want to run it on the computer that does not have XP Home Edition, but it is the problem computer and will not work it is (Catch 22 comes to mind).

  Any thoughts?

  This computer information is how make our life - if a facility upgrade of Windows 7 purchased locally could preserve all emails from clients of internet Explorer in Outlook Express and leapfrog on this mess so I'd be happy to do so.

  Thanks in advance!

  How to get the installation discs for Windows XP for installation of boot floppies

  Probably, the large file must be on the hard drive that the installation needs to extract the files and sometimes it does not work on the CD as it tries to put the temporary files on the CD. Just a thought.

  Have you noticed that the Windows XP CD is bootable.

  Who should download the installation diskettes?

  You must download the installation diskettes if all the following conditions are met:

  • You install a new version, full of the retail Windows XP.

    Note An upgrade to Windows XP installation does not require the installation diskettes.

  • You have a working CD drive, but you cannot start your computer from your CD-ROM.
  • You can start your computer with a floppy drive.

  Note The Windows XP installation CD is a bootable floppy and can be used to start Windows. When you use the Windows XP installation CD to start your computer, you can use the Windows Recovery Console to help recover the system software.

• I purchasedUnable to create the ASR recovery diskette after backup

  I bought an external hard drive to use as a backup of the system. The backup was successful, but in the end, I couldn't create the ASR restore disk. Is it possible to create one now?

• Windows XP Professional SP3 installation diskettes

  I restore my old computer, and I need floppy disks to install Windows XP Professional SP3 to do this, because my old computer will start only from a floppy or hard drive. Can I use diskettes of Windows XP Professional SP2, or do I floppy disks for Windows XP Professional SP3. If I need Windows XP Professional SP3 diskettes, where can I get their (answer with a link if I need them). Thank you!

  You realize that the diskettes 'setup' will not install any version of Windows XP, but only allow you to start the installation process which must end with an authentic Windows XP installation CD?

  The disks are only for the limited, rare, cases in which you have a CD player and a Windows installation CD, but for some reason that your computer does not start on the CD.  Y at - it an update of the BIOS available that will allow your computer to boot from a CD?

  As far as I KNOW, he is there no version of Service Pack 3 of these disks.  If you have an installation CD for Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3, try the SP2 game.

  This message comes to the BIOS screen that appears before Windows starts?  If so, go to the BIOS Setup and disable the floppy drive.

• Make a backup of ASR, saved, but at the end of the record, I got this message: discovery of the ASR diskette has not been created.

  at the end of the recording, I got this message: discovery of the ASR diskette has not been created. You will not be able to restore an ASR backup without the system information stored on this disk. What does that mean? Should I save my data otherwise? I don't have a floppy drive (I'm surprised if someone does) but I have a dvd read/write cd drive... One last thing. When I looked at the content on the flash drive with program de-Frag it was lit, which means completely fragmented, the program recommended it de-fragment it... is this safe with a file of this size on a flash drive?

  Original title: Saving went well, but

  Windows XP is too old to do something other than a floppy drive.  If the automated system recovery disk is important to your backup and restore needs (HINT: YES it IS!) then get a USB floppy drive to create the ASR disk.  Or get a copy of most modern backup and restore program that works under XP and use modern media (USB, CD/DVD, keys etc.) to create a startup/recovery media.

• I saved a file on a 3.5 diskette in 1996. Now when I try to open it I tells me that the disc needs formatting, which would eliminate can data. Is it possible to recover the data?

  Test entered using MS Word.

  Your problem is almost certainly that the disk contains not one
  the media descriptor byte. See http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=140060

  To resolve this issue, format a different diskette on your current computer,
  then find a place where a computer that is running Windows 95 or 98. Take the
  diskette, you can read as well as you just formatted than 95
  or 98 computer and copy the first of these.

  You will be able to read the diskette copied to your power source
  machine.
