Hey all, I seem to be having a very weird issue with Disk Utility. Basically, it freezes whilst trying to gather the info from my disks and I need to force quit it. When I do that, my Super Drive stops working (although, my SATA blu-ray drive works fine). A restart fixes the Super Drive but no matter what Disk Utility won't run. Its beginning to pose a problem when it comes to...

The vCenter VM is on local storage for one of the servers. The vcb proxy and target VM (I'm trying to do a snapshot) are on the same (DeployVMs) iSCSI LUN (my iSCSI is the software target available with Fedora). Here is the...

Using OS X 10.3.9, When I open the local hard disk in Finder, the computer gets stuck for several minutes, until Finder opens the hard disk. Any ideas how to speed things up a bit?

I put in my password and in the finder window it shows the image but no documents folder will open up. I ran disk utility and disk warrior and all is okay on my hard drive. I did burn a CD of the files in this ...

Hey guys, I've been having this problem for a while. Whenever my DVD drive is empty (that is no disk or anything is in there) I can't open the drive using the physical eject button or the windows "eject" option. However, when there's something in the drive, I can eject the cd/dvd just fine. It hasn't really bothered me much up until tonight when I had to fix my boot manager to dual boot ...

The optical drive has died and needs to be replaced. If there is a disc in there you need to get out, try using the paperclip while the computer is OFF. Then replace the drive.
