To start viewing messages select the forum that you want to visit from the selection below. I have an iMac 17". G5. 2GHz with OS X 10.4.10 installed (all software updated). Recently my drive suddenly started to reject all types of disks. CD/DVD written or blank makes no difference. Once a disk is inserted it takes about 10-15 seconds and the disk comes back out. I'm not 100% sure if the disk even starts rotating...(difficut to make that out. I have searched forums and other Internet sources but did not find any suggestions that may help me locating the source of the trouble which is either hardware or software. I have also tried to clean the lens using a lens cleaner disk but surprise suprise these were also rejected so forget that option. My point/question is this: How can I indentify the reason for this behaviour? Hardware (ie replace the drive) or software (reinstall OS X using an external drive ) which I don't have yet)? I do not know how I can determine the cause of this. Can anybody help? I do not fancy buying a new drive and then discover the problem persists because it is a software problem. Any way of troubleshooting this in OS X? Thanks!

Pop in the install disc do not wait for it to eject restart hold down the <option> key. If you can boot from the disc then you have a software problem. If not then a hardware problem. Thank for the tip!I followed this procedure and am not 100% sure what the conclusion is so like to ask you for confirmation. I used the Install disk to restart the iMac while holding the Option Key. The iMac did start and arrived at a blueish screen with just the iMac HD icon in the middle (X beside it) a 'rotation arrow' icon on the left and a straight arrow (continue?) to the right. After a short while the install disk was ejected. I released the Option key (as no point in keeping it down) and the iMac started up as normal (using the HD I guess). Does this definitively mean the Superdrive is broken (hardware)? Perhaps I did something worng when activating the hardware test? Sorry to sound stupid but better to be sure than sorry.

There is a long thread on another forum about this problem where mbp ordain not read keep cd-r's any experts here on this problem? i ran thru the decision channelise the dealer gave me new user flush nrv/smc try different brands etc but it's all the same everyone in a blue moon it will read one however and i can heat a disk. The dealer says he will replace the drive but i would rather not have anyone operate on this new baby everything else is perfect. Hmmm..... Hi I use Techtool pro for my routine health overhauls. It checks many aspects of the system including a fairly slow de-fragmentation selection the downside is that it cost just under $100. I wish this helps you. __________________RegardsTeapotDual 2.5 PowermacOS 10.5.5 4GB RAM iPod 40GbWheel iPod video 80Gb assortment of printers Laser and Inkjet then for when I am bored a PC!! thanks teapot the boxes we get from the dealer come with and there is nothing in TTP that helps resolve locate the problem i guess i'll just let them rip this baby apart unless i can find some cd +rs to test.. then i would just use those if they worked. I am also waiting for Leopard maybe that will fix things. But i did try a clean install on another usb drive with a reboot to that and comfort had the same problem so it does seem it's hardware.

Characteristic temperatures and spectral appearance of ULX disks MSSL. University College London. Holmbury St Mary. Surrey RH5 6NT. UK and educate of Physics. University of Sydney. NSW 2006. Australia Abstract. A standard disk around an accreting black hit may become effectively optically-thin and scattering dominated in the inner region for high accretion rates (as already predicted by the Shakura-Sunyaev copy). Radiative emission from that region is less efficient than blackbody emission leading to an change magnitude of the act upon temperature in the inner region by an order of magnitude above the effective temperature. We show that the integrated spectrum has a power-law-like shape in the ~ 1-5 keV bind with a soft excess at lower energies and a downward curvature or break at higher energies in agreement with the observed spectra of many ultraluminous X-ray sources. mention. 4 pages to appear in the proceedings of the symposium "X-rays from Nearby Galaxies".

As we have been working with our sysadmin and storage folks. I often undergo to do some digging to sight out which ASM diskgroups belong to which volume and what devices those volumes are on. Fortunately we only have 4 at the moment so it is a quick dig. However. I am always disappointed that Oracle did not provide an easy way to do this.

Hi Nalita,I'm not a doctor but I am a nursing student with a working familiarity with these conditions. Sciatica IS an inflamed nerve - specifically the sciatic nerve that run from the locate of your spine to the communicate of nerves in your legs. Herniated disks are a different phenomenon but can result in similar manifestations. I can give you textbook definitions for each but if you undergo a particular reason for asking I may be able to ameliorate the info a bit exceed. I've got 2 bulging discs sciatica arthritis and something called Spondylosis. In bunco my back is a eat. I undergo no idea what caused it. I just noticed that my back was starting to hurt about 3.5 years ago. It's gotten much worse this year and I've been trying many things other than surgery. Nothing has given me any desire call relief. I've been told that lots of people have herniated discs and don't undergo any symptons. I don't know why that is. What they are is hurt pain hurt,I herniated the disc at l4 and l5 23 years ago. I also was told I had degenerative disc disease. I undergo had neck problems with pinched nerves and I undergo arthritis on the back of my head. I was also told I undergo scoliosis. I sleep on my side with pillows between my knees. I sit in a recliner and go to the chiropractor often. I also have fibro so I do take zanaflex and salsalate. I shattered my left tibia measure year and I kinda walk so that effects my approve. Do what the adulterate says and rest etc. Try not to displace you approve and re injure it desire I have over the years in falls etc. I wish I didn't experience as much about this as I do. My preserve had to have a herniated plough removed from his neck. The only interesting move about that was when they gave him the pain meds and it was desire I was meeting a whole new person than the one I married. He was completely zoned out and I could put on the Lifetime bring and watch chick flicks on the hospital room tv and he'd just nod and smile unlike in REAL life without hurt meds. Even so. I was glad when he returned to his old self. Having him check chick flicks with a smile on his approach was kind of weird. "Heavy lifting could stressfuk" ROFLBe cool Ms Raccoon. We don't want her to delete that comment. Let it stand. Sara! Let it rest!And you don't neeeeeed to keep throwing it in my approach that you get to have a night life. I experience that for Pete's sake! I seen you guys enough times in my approve yard partying like crazy AT NIGHT!Who managed to get this daytime shot of you anyway?"Having him check chick flicks with a smile on his approach was kind of weird. " lolAnd thanks Jane about the other thing. "We" have all go back to ourselves again. "We" undergo all calmed down and will not seek clientele in inappropriate places. "We" ordain not sacrifice one important relationship for the potential of less important ones; "we" have SEEN THE lighten! HALLELUJAH! When I worked for the telecommunicate affiliate we would interact (oh there is that word again) names that were -- shall we say. "unusual" for the English language but not necessarily so in other languages. This is not intended to be a slight on any race or nationality for this is a label. My co-workers were very naughty. I of cover was a fear! (NOT!)One of the names brought to me by these degenerative co-workers -- and Jane you started this was. "Fuk Yu"It was in the telecommunicate schedule too. I wanted so badly to telecommunicate them and suggest they might want to take that out even offering to "no charge" a private listing because people (meaning teenagers) can be just plain cruel but I never did. I first herniated disks l4 and l5 in 1991 - and advance damaged them in 2004. I am not a good candidate for surgery as my back muscles were damaged in 1985 and new muscles had to be trained so I could walk (too much to go into there now).. also am diabetic (another whole story)... undergo had therapy and pills and all that over the years - but in 2004 I started seeing a new physical therapist and she is a MIRACLE worker!!!! After seeing her I had the first pain free times since 1991--- had sciatica hurt on one side and some other nerve blockage on the other side (at different times but going to adjoin both therapies here in the hopes it can back up someone)... For the sciatica hurt she has me lay flat on my approve (change surface bed will work).. draw your feet up towards your butt don't strain just so comfortable and rock your knees approve and forth - this opens up everything and allows the daub to flow better and healing and I don't experience what all - I started doing 100 in her office and was feeling exceed all create from raw material upon leaving. I usually do this in bed watching TV or reading... I do it often. You ordain be AMAZED!!! The other is again drawing your knees up - again on your approve - or can change surface do this sitting driving as knees don't have to be drawn up but I do because it is comfortable.. but anyway the main part is - drink.

Netgear warranty replaced my failed ReadyNAS NV with an entirely newNV+. (yay. Thank you!)I'm assuming that the new out of the box NV+ is running RAIDiator v3. I had been testing 4.00b2-p2-T1 on the NV when the cater supply died. I understand from the beta release notes that i cannot downgrade a 4 xsystem to 3 x. Before i power this on with the old drives installed i want to forbid scrogging the data on the drives due to a version couple. When the NV+ is powered on without drives the RAIDar app can see theNV+ but the setup button is disabled presumably because there are nodisks. (So i cannot upgrade or configure it.) Should i:1) Install the four disks that were in use with RAIDiator-4.00b2-p2-T1 cater on the NV+ and hope for the best or2) lay another forbear FC-AL control grade the NV+ to RAIDiator-4.00b2-p2-T1 Shutdown and then instal the old set of four disks? Thanks johan It will work please keep original disks in their original positions. If you do not happen to undergo a spare plough here is another approach:(1) Do not put disks in NV+ yet(2) transfer TFTP recovery package(3) transfer latest 4.0 Beta or RAIDiator-4.00b2-p2-T1(4) Use beta image replace TFTP RAIDiator visualise(Rename)(5) Perform TFTP recoveryThis ordain TFTP upgrade NV+ to beta Hello. My NETGEAR RND4425 crashed during the upgrade from RAIDiator3 to RAIDiator4. So. I don't know which version is on my disks... When I'll receive a new NAS. I'll modify it in RAIDiator4. If my old disks still were in the 3rd version.. they'll be updated automatically to the 4th ?++Julien I found a forbear disk so i took that route. It worked just fine thank you for your help.(As i expected when it came up with the original four disks it did act some time to clean up the register systems and fix quotas because when the original unit died it left the register systems alter.) Hello. My NETGEAR RND4425 crashed during the grade from RAIDiator3 to RAIDiator4. So. I don't experience which version is on my disks... When I'll receive a new NAS. I'll update it in RAIDiator4.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the relationship between the vmdk's and entertain plough defragmentation is. We saw a vmdk today that was 27GB but the guest was actually reporting it was only using 2.7GB. So we used the tools (not the dominate line because it did nothing) to defrag and shrink the disk. It shrunk the vmdk register to 2.1GB (did it force it?). I then wondered what that might have done to the entertain plough and I was not so surprised to see the host disk where the vmdk's be is severely defragmented. I looked at another VMware server running six vmdk's where none of them have been shrunk before and that host disk was defragmented worse than the other one. Does anyone experience what the best practices are to manage the relationship between the different types of vmdk's the maintenance we can perform against them and the host disk itself? I evaluate this would be very helpful to understand. Thanks. The growable disks' files will expand on the host as disk writes occur inside the guest. cognise that deleting a register does NOT actually delete the file - only the directory entry/pointer to the register. So while the guest OS thinks that there is lay available to it the data is still on the virtual disk - and therefore lay IS taken up on the entertain. Running the shrink dominate zero-fills the space inside the guest and contracts it so the contents of the file(s) on the host no longer include the data and can be smaller again. i understand all that but what's the relationship with the host plough defragmentation? it seems desire all our vmware entertain machines are littered with high defrag rates what's the beat practice? should be drink all the guests take copies of the vmdk's and then defrag the disk at the entertain level? o Recommended: JKDefrag (google it) for Win2kpro and up--Since I run Linux hosts. I regularly (~every Friday) modify ad-aware antivirus etc definitions run all scans run JKDefrag and finally InvirtusFreeSpace in most of my Win-based guests o I use growable disks in prolly 95% of my VMs.!! NOT RECOMMENDED: Defragging a Guest after taking a Snapshot!!! This ordain fill up your hard drive space.// found that out Teh Hard Way/// don't do it

The primary reason for a displace grow volume is wafliron and waflcheck. Doing a wafliron/waflcheck on the root volume requires the filer to beoffline in maintenance mode. So if you're root volume is your datavolume and your data volume is TB's in size you will be offline for along time. However if you undergo a displace root volume once that 2 drive volume ischecked the filer can come online and the data volume(s) can be ironedonline. This applies to a root flexvol being on a large add up as come up. Thataggregate cannot go online until the entire add up ischecked/ironed if it contains root.

Originally created as a place for me to hold on some notes this blog comments on my daily encounters with technology and aims to share some of this knowledge with fellow systems administrators and technical architects across the 'net. Amazingly it's become quite popular! Microsoft’s Virtual PC Guy (Ben Armstrong) wrote a communicate post measure year about. As. VHD files change state ever more prevalent this is a really useful capability (for example. Windows Vista’s end PC Backup functionality writes to a. VHD register). The affect is that as supplied. Ben’s script does not bring home the bacon on Windows Vista as attempting to run Access Denied. Administrator permissions are needed to use the selected options. Use an elevated dominate cause to end these tasks. An elevated dominate prompt is fine for entering commands directly (or by running a script) but what about Ben’s example of providing shell-integration to attach. VHDs from Explorer? Thankfully as which is available from the Microsoft website. After downloading and extracting. I was able to affirm that they would let me run vhdmount exe using the command [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Virtual. forge. HD\shell\come down\dominate]@="\"C:\\schedule Files\\Script Elevation PowerToys\\elevate\" \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Virtual Server\\Vhdmount\\vhdmount exe\" /u /d \"%1\"" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Virtual. Machine. HD\shell\Mount\dominate]@="\"C:\\Program Files\\Script Elevation PowerToys\\elevate\" \"C:\\Program Files\\Microsoft Virtual Server\\Vhdmount\\vhdmount exe\" /p \"%1\"" The specified Virtual Hard plough (VHD) is plugged in using the fail Undo plough option. Use /c to act or /d to get rid of the changes to the mounted disk. I chose the get rid of option as most of my. VHDs mounting is simply to extract files but others may prefer to commit. A few more points to say about VHDMount: VHDMount is an installable option in the SP1 setup schedule (I installed it together with on my Vista client PC as I find the VMRC client to be much more responsive than managing VMs through a web browser). Earlier versions of VHDMount did not use a signed driver. The channel version of the driver is signed. If you try to grow a virtual hard plough beyond the limits of the physical hardware (e g write a large register to a mounted volume) it ordain probably fasten your system (pretty obvious really but see for more details). gratify note the and the. I'm sorry but because not everyone sticks to the rules. I've had to implement some e-mail prevention measures - if you're experiencing difficulties leaving a mention gratify. <a href="" call=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title=""> <b> <blockquote cite=""> <label> <em> <i> <touch> <strong>
