XP cannot find the drive hard installing macbook

Install XP from ISO image, that I burned to a DVD.

Fusion installed before okay.

XP then says «Setup did not all hard disks...» "can not continue then starts to do things.

I did google and install messages found of it during the nonmac - something about lack of drivers scsi... but everyone has got a solution for Mac?

Cheers from Aus!

Dave.

This has nothing to do with the Mac or your installation of Fusion software. This has to do with the type of virtual disk that is set when the virtual machine is created.

Merge (and other VMware products hosted) supported the virtual drive as SCSI (BusLogic of SCSI controller compatible) devices devices or IDE devices. What is probably happening (as noted by the previous posters), is that the virtual hard disk that is created is a SCSI hard drive. You can confirm this by opening the settings of the virtual machine, click drives, and note if it is IDE or SCSI disk to the virtual disk.

Since the Windows XP installation diskettes is not the SCSI driver required in them by default, you must do one of the following:

  • Inject the SCSI driver provided by VMware in Windows Setup (as you would with any other device that does not have a driver on the XP installation disc). The driver provided by VMware is on a virtual disk "inserted" in the floppy drive virtual drive (see VMware Fusion help on how to access the virtual floppy drive floppy image). From there, the process is exactly like the addition of a driver in a physical machine.  As says rcardona2k, using the Easy Install option automates this task for you.

or

  • Make sure that your virtual machine has a virtual IDE drive. You don't have to completely recreate your virtual machine - you can take your existing, open its settings, click on hard disks, remove the existing hard drive and add a new hard drive with an IDE bus type (and other options and desired size).

For the record, the virtual SCSI hard drives perform a little better that the IDE, but you may or may not notice the difference.

  • Canon pixma mp495 series. trouble shoot said that it cannot find the driver.

    Windows cannot find the driver for my canon mp495 printer.

    Brian,

    Illustrated in Windows Update optional device drivers updated is best if not installed, so I recommend that you ignore.

    If you do not experience any problems with your printer, apply the old addage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!" :-)

    If you have problems with your printer, to the web site (for example, Canon) and download the latest Windows 7 compatible driver, then install it.

    I have HP Deskjet 5650 color printer connected to desktop Dell Dimension 2400 under Windows XP Home Edition Ver 2002 SP3. I just bought a laptop Dell Inspiron N4110 running Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64 bit.

    I am trying to connect to the printer via my home WIFI network running through a Netgear Wireless-N 150 WNR1000 router.

    When I add a printer on the laptop, it shows on the list of printers available on the select a printer screen, but when he tries to connect, it returns with a message, "cannot find a driver for HP Deskjet 5600 series on the network.

    I tried to locate the driver manually, but without success. I have an older HP laptop that is running Windows XP, which has always connected to the printer via the WIFI network very well.

    Can I connect the printer directly to the new laptop via a USB port and it recognizes, installs and runs very well.

    had to go to the properties of the computor, advanced system properties, system, device installation settings and game to install drivers from windows update if it is not found on my computer.

    Then, it would finally be search on windows update for drivers, but would not yet find a driver even from windows update to the printer when installing it as a network printer.

    I had to add a printer as a local printer, and then select Create a new port, local port, and the port name, I had to enter the path through the network computer to the printer (as "\\desktopname\printername").

    Then and only then, did that pick me from a list of printers, and we found a driver on windows update.

    Yet once again, I appreciate your help! Looks like we may have learned something from this experience.

    Thanks for your quick response.

    Hello

    As a first step, it would be interesting to know to what operating system your need for this driver? ;)

    Well this Chipset Trident CyberALADDiN-T (called Napa2T) was built in three Types of Toshiba laptops.

    The 6000 Satellite TE2000 and Satellite 6050. (Driverversion all with Version 5.01.2527.0128)

    Normally the drivers that you will find on the Pages of the manufacturer are not the real drivers. Only they are updating the drivers if there are known issues.

    So the only chance for you is to look threw the internet and look if someone else has used this graphics chip and offer are a newer driver than Toshiba.

    Sorry for the response, but I had the same problem with my Machine, but is a more recent revision of driver on another page of manufacturer.

    Good bye

    I have no idea how he disappeared. The reader is for both CD and dvd discs.

    Now, when I put the discs in the drive, they start charging, but finish. I also can't find the drive in "My Computer".

    Could someone help me on how to recover the drive?

    Hello

    You mean that the CD/DVD drive?
    In the first case, you should check if the CD/DVD drive appears in Device Manager.

    If you see a yellow exclamation point next to the CD/DVD drive, then you must remove the STRANGE since the Device Manager.
    In addition, you should access the registry using the regedit command and should remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:

  • MacBook retina cannot find the USB hard drive when it is plugged again

    Hello world

    I have a MacBook retina 2015 computers and a hard drive WD elements USB3 that I use as a Time Machine backup when they travel. The drive is plugged into the USB - C through one of the Apple dongles and when I first start the computer, the USB is mounted and that it appears on the desktop. He does everything very well.

    When I want to take the machine away, I eject it, wait for the secure message and then physically disconnect the drive. However, when I go back and reconnect the drive, the Mac did not see it. The reader will be able as the light comes on and I can hear it turn. Just, it is not mount and is completely invisible for MacOS.

    I checked all connections, even used another dongle - no luck. A disconnect does not set, and I tried to reset the NVRAM. So far, the only solution is to reboot the Mac, afterwards the player reappears - at least until I need to unplug it again.

    Anyone got any ideas what is underway and if there is a fix?

    Thank you very much

    Mike.

    Hello, Mike Richards2,.

    Thank you for using communities Support from Apple!

    This is I think understand that you are not able to see an external hard drive when it is ejected, and then reconnect the computer.  I have some suggestions that I hope will help you.

    It is important to try to isolate what is responsible for this.  The first thing to do to help isolate what is causing the problem is to start the computer in what is called Safe Mode and see if the problem persists.

    Start in safe mode:

    1. Choose the Apple menu > shut down.
    2. After your Mac stops, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    3. As soon as you hear the startup tone, hold down the SHIFT key.
      You must press the SHIFT key as soon as possible once you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    4. Release the SHIFT key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.

    OS X El Capitan: start in safe mode

    Once the computer is running in safe mode, see if you can duplicate the issue.  If the problem does not appear, go ahead and try to reboot normally again.  If the problem has disappeared, it may have been caused by a problem of file or directory of cache fixed by booting in safe mode.

    If the question comes up, you'll want to check the login items.  Follow these instructions to remove the connection:

    OS X El Capitan: If you think you have incompatible connection points

    Remove the connection, restart the computer and see if the problem persists.

    Have a great day!
