How install a second boot on a separate disk drive hard internal
I have an early 2008 Mac Pro tower under Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
For dealing with some updates of software is not incompatible with this version, I need a new OSX.
However, some of my versions of software does not work on 10.7 and above. My solution so I guess a dual boot?
I have my software of MBR on a 500 GB SSD. I have a second internal 500GB SSD that is almost empty, I assigned as a disk scratch to Final Cut Pro 7 and some other functions. I thought I would setup an OSX later on this drive to use when I want to run the software that doesn't like Snow Leopard.
I've seen many ways to do it, but none like exactly my situation. So I hope for help or links on how to do this without anything spoil.
I would appreciate advice on what OSX to put on this drive. The software needed is DazStudio 3D and Ponomusic. Is no longer, browsers such as Chrome and Safari are updated to 10.6. as well.
Bigger issues are I love itunes 10 and FCP7
The software that I would lose and have to buy new versions full if I updated all of the machine are Filemaker Pro and Quickbooks and quite honestly, is that simply I don't have the funds at this time for these versions. Two of my versions are too old to do an upgrade.
Any help is appreciated
Check what version OS x required apps yo want to run.
Install El Capitan, it's free.
http://www.Apple.com/OSX/how-to-upgrade/?CID=WWA-us-KWG-Mac
Put a blank disc in a sleigh and install on your Mac. Then, run the installer of El Capitan and format the disc and be mounted directly to the blank formatted disc now.
Note that bit of your current applications will not run beyond Snow Leopard
Upgrading to 10.7 and don't forget Rosetta!
You can purchase updates for Lion 10.7 and 10.5 Mountain Lion too and install one of these

Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver?
My hard drives of computers were completely destroyed by overhead sprinklers during a fire. Installing Windows said "we have found no disk drives. How can I get a storage driver? I can't go online until I have install windows. Thank you
Hello
So it does not start from the disc, but when you get to the part where it asks me to choose a disk to install Windows, you do not see something here, is that correct? Go to the menu of the Bios (tap button "F2" at startup to access the Bios), then Advanced and check what you show for the SATA/operating Mode option.

How do I dual boot windows 7 a physical drive and windows server 2008 R2 to a second drive
I bought a new 'high-end' and want to leave the current WIndows 7 Home Premium (64 bit), as is. I want to install a second drive hard and on this new drive, install WIndows Server 2008 R2 so that I can run hyper-v. I know I have to edit the BCDEDIT, but EVERYWHERE I look for help on this subject, he refers to a virtual hard disk... I don't want to run Server 2008 from a virtual hard disk... but rather a native installation. Is this possible... If yes HOW? I know he's probably changed since the days of WIndows 2000 and WIndows 2003.

Original title: Signature Collision?
I'm having hard to the installation of a second external drive. I use Windows 7 Ultimate RC. There was a WD 1 TB drive My Book already installed - healthy and works very well. The problem occurred after installing a second WD 1 TB my book reader. I followed all the instructions, pluuging the drive to a USB hub. Windows found the disk, installed drivers and reported the new drive ready for use.
Windows Explorer does not see the new drive. Devices and printers shows 2 external drives from WD. Disk Management shows as 2 drives, but the second disk is offline because of a 'Signature' Collision
Each player works very well if it's the only drive plugged in. "Eject My Book" does not work because a program (or more) are to use the player in the background (Windows or Norton).
I installed the latest firmware and I'm still having this problem. I've been emailing WD with this problem and they are running out of ideas.
Can anyone help?
Thank you

I bought Adobe Photoshop CS6 and installed the drive on my old computer. How to install the program on my new computer since I don't need to put the cd in a disk drive? There is nothing on the site that I can find to help me... I really enjoy the program and did not know that I didn't have a hard drive of this computer... (I know that its something that I should know before I bought the computer... but it slipped my mind until now when I really need). Thank you... Heidi
Hi Heidi,.
Welcome to the community!
This isn't a problem, certainly, you can download the product online. Go to http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html and download Photoshop CS6 from there.
Remember to follow the instructions mentioned under 'very important section' if the download does not start.

I bought a Pavillion HL # 500 - A47A, product model #: Office H5P71AA #ABA about a week ago. It came with a HARD SATA 3.5 inch disk drive 1 TB and a 5.25 DVD burner inches. I want to add a second HARD internal 3.5-inch disk, but there is no mounting bracket in the case. When I called to request a mounting bracket, I got responses ranging from "we can send a technician to do it" to "it cannot be done" so that the case can be customized.
There is plenty of space behind the drive and in fact, there is a cable hanging there to add a second drive.
I'd appreciate any help with where to find a 3.5 HARD drive mounting bracket. I have a HDD from my old PC
Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion 500-computer 047c of office. According to the specification, this model has only a single drive 3.5 "bay and one 5.25" drive Bay. Without using the optical drive Bay, you must use the double-sided tape or drill holes into the housing to mount media training or a cage in the computer.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

I have an Acer Aspire 3100 computer laptop comes with Windows Vista, I am not on the number of bits, sure that the processor in this system supports 64-bit operating systems. I was curious to know if there was a way for me to download Windows Vista from Microsoft online and burn it to a CD or a DVD if I have a valid product key supplied with the system. Is it possible to do this? Thank you.
You can not download Vista.
In this case, you may be able to buy Acer recovery disks, if you have not created some when you first the computer.
If you can borrow a Vista DVD (a copy retail, not supplied by manufacturer), you can reinstall since using your product key.

Satellite P305-S8832 - is second possible drive HARD internal
Hello friends,
I recently got a Toshiba Satellite P305-S8832, which came with a Toshiba 250 GB HARD drive.
The machine has a second SATA slot. I opened it and Wow!A sata connector was there! As the cover of the location 'has 5 pins little stick down' I cut carefully and soft as a result of the borders so I was able to throw a WD SATA 250 GB HARD drive there. I was able to screw the cover in his position without problems at all.
Now the second HD works perfectly as data storage.
I moved all of my folders in C:/USERS to it. This way my drive C is dedicated only to the system, software, and the other (E) only for data. Just open and try! A WD SATA 320 GB 7200 RPM, would be an excellent option for this location.Thanks much for this information.

Here's the question,
I got the update of WD Web, its installation site and on my computer work... will not install the drivers. I go to the Device Manager and the drive appears as unknown device. try to update driver software, and then gets all throughout this so-called - "windows found driver software for your device but encountered an error trying to install", and then below that theres a picture of a hard drive and next it is written "generic volume". then below that it says "this operation requires and the interactive window station.
went to disk management, any option that I click on reassign a drive letter or to reformat I get various error messages. basically the wtf. Ive google the issue and the error message and have tons of similar problems posted by other people, but nobody has the right solution for me - tried so much. I called windows, they were no help, sent me here essentially. not called WD they have no help...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thank you!
Hello fighclubber25,
a. don't you make changes to the computer before having this problem?
b. are the other USB devices work properly on your computer?
I suggest that you try the methods below to resolve this issue.
Method 1:
My research, I find that there are several problems with the Antivirus software when trying to install the drivers for the Western Digital hard drive. I suggest that you disable the antivirus software temporarily and verify if you are able to install the drivers. Also, make sure you download the correct version of the drivers.
Note: Make sure that you enable the antivirus software after the test. You can check the link for more information below:
http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/disable-antivirus-software
Method 2:
Connect the drive to another computer and check if you are able to load the drivers. Just to make sure that the hard drive is not defective.
You can also check out the link that will give you information on tips for solving problems with USB devices below:

Hello. I HOPE I HAVE POSTED THIS QUESTION IN THE RIGHT CATEGORY - I CAN'T SEEM TO GET IT RIGHT... -, I am bad & a 'Newbie'.
(Q) my ext hdd is in - the red zone in 'Computer' in the lower right corner, when I click on it...
(1) this is what worry? (2) how do I get it out of the 'red zone '? It is actually said "Local disk (e :)) 13.5 GB free of 149 GB" (which includes a "System Image" - if I remember correctly). To do this, "incramental' back-up, I think...
Thank you, Chris.
We use the term "housekeeping." It's when you wipe the hard drive
Formatting seems ok, but actually considered clearing, repartition the drive.
http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_formatting
I suggest you do a normal backup and then differential periodically. This avoids that the difference between the initial backup and changes made to the files. If you are happy with the changes, do the differential backup. When you make other changes and that you do not have the old files, it is safe to do a new differential backup and delete the previous. This saves disk space.
Description of full, incremental, and differential backups
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/136621/en-us
You can save the backup on DVD files and store them still freeing up hard drive space. In addition, it is recommended to store them in your home disaster (earthquake, fire, etc.). Ex: Safe, best friend or the relative's House.

I recently had a pool of storage space using 3 external drives USB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 Essentials. I decided to take the readers out of the enclosure and connected directly to the internal SATA connectors on my motherboard. When the server was launched upward, these 3 discs now display as disconnected in storage.
When I do the command 'get-disc' physical in PowerShell, the drives appear as "drives physical 1,2 & 5" and are 2.72 to each. "." But it also lists disks Seagate Expansion as well, with a status of "communication lost". These are the same three disks that are now internal.
Nothing has been deleted or erased, so all the data is still on each individual unit and assume that if I managed to put back them in the external enclosure, would immediately online. I thought that everything simply moving them to a new HARD disk controller (internal SATA USB) would not cause the pool to drop the readers, they are always connected to the same server.
Is there a way to get storage space to see and read the 3 internal drives to bring my pool/area back online without losing any data?
