internal

I just recently installed an internal seagate ultra ata 100 80gb hd into my powerbook g4 (the old one crashed beyond use). I hear the drive spinning when I boot up the computer. However after the computer boots up with the original boot disk that came with the computer and I try to format it...

:confused: I have a Blue and White G3, which I loved, that ran perfectly for years. I had two internal drives, both about 6gigs each, one was the default internal drive and the other was hooked up to the Ultra wide SCSI card from which I also ran my Iomega external JAZZ drive. Everything was...

I want to switch my internal DVD Rom drive in my G4 tower (running Tiger) for a DVD writer. Can I bung any one in? Should it be recognised, or will I need additioinal drivers etc? I may choose a NEC 7371A - any issues with this? In terms of software I have Toast, and may get a more sophisticated...

I have a dead hard disk. I backed up my data, and boot from an external. All is well in the world, or was until today. My internal hard disk is going through death throes, and is making UNGODLY sounds which are driving me insane. It isn't mounted, can't be identified, but I can't make it shut...

hi, My old laptop is dead and I bought a new one. The dvd drive on the old one is patched to be rpc1. Because the region check on my new Matsushita drives don't allow dvd reading in data mode rpc is not an option for me. So, I'd like to connect my old dvd drive externally with a caddy or...

Ok, the hardrive in my 12" iBook has failed. Of course replacing it in this model requires the removal of 41 screws of 7 different types and basically tearing the iBook apart. So I'm running it quite well from an external firewire drive. However, the internal drive condition's has gotten...

pulled my hd from my g4 pb and put it in an enclosure, plugged it in to my macbook and BAM, there it was. Problem was, i could look at everything but not erase or write to the drive. i copied some files from it but none would go ONto it... Tried to format it, but said i didnt have permission...

Hi, Yes I know, the title is frightening. My cd reader/burner died, and it decided to bring a Cd with itself to heaven. Mac technicians are too expensive and the purchase of a new part will already ruin me. Couple of months ago, I changed the hard disk of my computer, so I know how...

It there any way to spin down one internal hard drive and not all others? I have two drives in my Gigabit Ethernet G4, one of which I only need to have on when backing up. The drives are on two different busses. Is there a utility that does this? Should I just get an external drive case? Is it...

I'm using a Powerbook G4 12" (1.33ghz/1.25gbRAM/80gigHD/Tiger10.4.7). - recently when on a cleaning/utilities kick. I ran Onyx, repaired permisions, ran DiscWarrior, ran SpeedTools, etc. SpeedTools told me that there are a lot of trashed sectors on my harddrive. It would have taken hours...

I'm about to get a MacBook Pro, and I would like to take my set of 250GB HDs from my QuickSilver with me too (to become mobile). Is there a mobile case with a Firewire connector that I can put the my set of 250GB HDs? Is there such a thing? Thanks in advanced and make it a great day!

Hey, I was wondering if anyone can help me...I think the internal drive on my iBook is shot. I can get a cd in if I really push, but then it makes a nasty scraping sound as it rotates and won't come out easily (I tried it once, and discovered the problem). I've been using our external DVD...

Hello, I'm new to this great forum: I recently bought an HP Laserwriter 2100 printer, soon I found out that I could'nt use it because it wasn't USB capable, so I bought a HP J4169A 610N 10/100 Ethernet JetDirect Internal with the hope of being able to print via ethernet, the card came with out...

Hi people you have been ever so helpful (thanx) that I have a new question right away. All of the sudden I cannot mount any DVD or CD on my superdrive. I have had on n off problems for a while. CD wont mount. Clanking noise of disk spinning and not finding where to stop, struggling like...

It seems as if my original internal drive is going (as suggested by an Apple Tech). For a little over 2 weeks, I have been having problems booting up, and after an erase and repartition, the problem seems to be appearing again. I boot and run from an external drive without any problems, it being...

Trying to get a eMac (10.3.9) to work with an ethernet connection, the ethernet device works properly, obtains an IP address right on, but can't ping out. When I try to check the network configurations, the internal modem keeps turning itself on and making itself the primary, even when I remove...
