• iMac G5 won't internal hard drive boot

  Hello

  I am a student at a vocational school student IST. The faculty member sent us old iMac G5 17 inch to set ourselves. After the repair of the motherboard, we had to install OS X 10.5 installation DVD, because the customer had erased his record for security purposes. However, the internal disk drive would not work, so we had to set the Open Firmware mode and start from a normal PC hard drive connected via a SATA-USB adapter cable. We got the OS installed and restart clicked on Setup, but the splash screen always appears as a folder missing OS. We tried to go into Open Firmware and setting the device on the hard disk, but it wouldn't boot. Other things we tried:

  -Hold the "D" key on startup to force it to boot from the internal hard drive, but it could not start

  -Optionally now to go to the menu boot device menu boot device froze after a few seconds

  -Insert the 10.5 installation disc in our external DVD drive (as mentioned above) and launch the disk utility > startup disk to restart the iMac and the start of the internal player, but same result as previously (missing the OS icon)

  At this point, both students that the instructor are almost of ideas, and I thought that post on the forums to see if there is anything else we can try before you buy another drive and charge the customer.

  Thank you in advance!

  Disk utility to partition and format the drive.

  Boot from the installation disc:

  Booting from an OS X install disc

  1. Insert the OS X installation disc into the optical drive.

  2 restart the computer.

  3. immediately after the ring, press and hold the C"" key.

  4 release the button when the spinning gear under the Apple grey dark

  logo appears.

  5. wait for the installer to finish loading.

  Once the installation program is loaded, select the country and click on the continue button. Wait for the menu bar of the screen to appear. Select utility drive in the Utilities menu. On the left should be a list of mounted drives. Select the entry of out-bumpy drive to the HARD disk (usually, watch mfgr. name and size or model number.) Click the Partition tab in the main window. Select 1 partition from the menu drop-down Partition scheme. Set the type of Format for Mac OS Extended journaled. Click on the apply button and wait for it to finish.

  At the end of player preparation, you can quit disk utility and return to the installer. Proceed with the installation of Mac OS X by following the instructions.

  If any of these categories can be completed due to HARD drive problems, then most likely the drive is dead. G5 models use standard 3.5 "SATA drives, I recall.

• How can I change hard drive icon images?

  I have a strange problem that has just occurred in Windows 7.

  I have several hard drives internal and 1 external hard drive.  The external hard drive has always had its own unique icon and internal hard drives all have the same icon image.

  But somehow, the external drive now has an image of the icon of an internal hard drive, and my biggest drive, a HD 1.5 TB, shows the icon used previously by the external hard drive.

  I can't understand why this happened, or how to redefine the way it was.  Don't pose any problem of performance, its just confusing because I saw this image external drive so long I'll automatically for the picture if my computer or Explorer and now that means that I often select the wrong drive.

  I click on properties > customize and select change image folder, then select a hard drive icon I want for each player, but he never changes the icon.  And I'm pointing to an appropriate *.ico icon image file.

  Anyone has any ideas on this issue?

  Thank you.

• internal hard drive of the AirPort Extreme?

  Is it possible to install an internal hard drive on AirPort Extreme?

  NO.

  You can put a hard drive inside... as he shares the frame with the TC... but there is no control over the Board and boot rom is probably wrong.

  If you want a hard drive of your only choice is to use USB... either course, you can get a Time Capsule.

• Re: How can I add a second internal hard drive to a Satellite Pro P200?

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a single internal hard drive. There is a second Bay in the computer of another internal hard drive, but I couldn't find any information about it. There is enough space for a 2.5 "SATA but I do not see a connector.

  I contacted Toshiba Dutch customer service who said that it was official policy not to provide any information on a second internal drive. They also said that they would not provide parts to make it possible.

  Can anyone provide more information?

  Hello!

  I think that if there is no connector you cannot add a second HDD.
  It of Nice to have a second Bay, but it's nothing without a connector.

  Good bye

• Desktop P7-1039: can I add an extra internal hard drive?

  I would like to install an extra internal hard drive on my desktop HP-P7-1039. I can't find anywhere in the literature if there is an available for an extra drive Bay. If it is available, can this disc type and size I install?

  Thank you

  CErepair guide, it seems that there is place in the hard drive to another hard drive cage.  The existing hard drive is 1.5 to, but a slow hard disk standards.  Not to exceed 2 TB Windows has problems with the disks.  So look for a disk 3,5 '' SATA, 2 TB or less from a manufacturer of your taste.

• Request help second addition, internal hard drive [HP Pavilion Elite e9290f]

  Hello

  Quick question here. I am a music producer and you can always use a ton of extra space as some of my projects are 17 to 20 GB in size. My HP e9290f comes with a stock of 1 TB Seagate (I think) internal hard drive. I intend to add this DeckStar HGST hard 4 TB (7200 RPM)

  However, I am not sure, if this drive is compatible with my computer. I talked about the upgrade & maintenance manual but inside, he tells me only how to replace the current internal hard drive. The addition of this amount of space external hard drive is not an option since all my ports are used by external hard drive! Can anyone shed light on what tools I need exactly to connect this HD extra 4TB? I would appreciate your answers, because time is of the essence

  Hello

  I have not tested a HDD 4 TB on the motherboard of truckee. In theory, it should work as a data reader set shaped like a GPT disk.

  Another option if you don't want to take the risk is to install two hard drives of 2 TB. The one in the location empty in the cage from the hard drive and another in the optical drive Bay (if open) second.  You will need one 3.5 "to 5.25" adapter if you use the optical Bay.

  Check on the return policy for the 4 TB harddrive and see if your can return/exchange it if it doesn't work.  Kit retail for Hitachi 4TB has an optional driver if the motherboard of your PC will not format the drive completely outside up to 4 TB.

• the internal HARD drive has been corrupted and I fails to make the back upward. need information.

  I've owned an HP Pavilion dm1-LQ862PA #UUF, used to be windows 7-64 bit. the internal hard drive has been corrupted and recommended to replace another. they were asking for the backup cd and I failed to do, and I do not regret it. Well, except to lose all my files and programs that I installed, it will also include bluetooth, wi - fi and other important built in programs? I'm not a computer expert. If ever these important programs had totally disappeared, how retrieve it? my laptop in an HP authorized service center will be probably expensive and I decided to buy a new HARD drive and ask someone to put it in and install a new OS. Please help thanks

  Hello:

  There is a support for your PC page where all the software drivers to run the hardware on your PC such as bluetooth and wireless can be reinstalled.

  http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/WC/product?product=5079502 & CC = US & DLC = in & LC = on & query = LQ862PA & Tool=.

  What I don't see is the availability of recovery disks to reinstall the operating system (windows 7 64-bit) or your PC programs (other than those listed in the link of support above).

  This means that if you want to replace the hard drive, you must make your own W7 64-bit installation media and use the 7 product key of Microsoft windows on the bottom of your PC to activate the installation.

  That assumes you can read all 25 characters of the product key windows 7.

  Here's how...

  If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

  Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

  Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

  http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

  Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

  The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

  Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

  Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

  http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

  The replacement hard drive should be a 320 GB SATA II 5 400 rpm Disk If you want the same specification provided with your PC hard drive.

  Please refer to Chapter 4 of the service manual on the link below for the procedures for removal and replacement of the hard disk.

  If so, one) is there requirments or the specifications of the hard disk (any make or model); (b) what equipment will be needed and where I can get to and c) Finally will be doing so make sure the warranty of my laptop HP Sub

  HP Pavilion

  Product: F9J38UA #ABA

  Model: 17-e117dx

  Thank you

  Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

  https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

  If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  You must open the Windows disk management console, then format the drive for use in the system.  You can find more information on this process here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-format-hard-disk-partition#create-format-hard-disk-partition=windows-7
