My computer's hard drive died, i've replaced but trying to install my os the tv comes up with invalid format?? but i have an other computer going throught the same tv which works fine on component 1? i'm confused

The folder and do not enter sign means that the drive is not compatible. I'm going to guess that the drive came out of an intel Mac that had leopard loaded on it. This is not going to work with a PowerPC Mac. Do a clean install of leopard and you should be fine. I believe g4's go up to 10.5 and g5's go up to 10.5.8.

Hi

The option is backup take is external drive, how to take the Drive backup.

1. Go to Disk properties and select the tools and down 'Backup Now" option showing click that option.
2. Now the new windows will open. click the next and Choose the Backup file option and click "next" now choose the last option " Let me choose " Option and select the driver or document that you take the backup then click Next.
   
3. Now you have to give the path where you want to save that backup and give the name.
4. Then click Next and the backup process is start
   

When the backup is finish after that you have to format the drive. After formatting the driver you and install the New windows, again go to the D:/ properties and select the "Tools" and click the "backup Now" you get new windows click next the second windows show two option select the "Restore file " option and select the backup path that we take in external drive and click next
now wait few minute you backup is restoring the file..


God Luck

You must have the "File" to "Play" in the "Format" the TV requires to "See" You need to find out what "Format" your TV "Uses" and ensure you either the download is the right format, or convert the Videos into that format wanted. Also make sure all CODEC's are installed as well, if required.

This should be a quick fix. How old is the machine you are trying to update? Do you know if the jumpers on the drive are in order? Is it a SATA or ATA drive? Did a CD or Disk come with your drive? Check jumpers on your old drive and make sure the jumpers on the new drive are similar ( master, slave, cs ). Usually leaving on Master is best. Is anything else on this line, like a CD or DVD? I think you'll get it from here.

Your system is probably trying to boot from a USB drive. ZT systems for some reason will put USB hard drives ahead of drive 0 in the boot sequence. You can correct this in the BIOS.
Another problem I had with mine is that the BIOS would not pick up the USB drives on a cold boot even though everything went fine with a restart. Cycling the power on the external after boot up solves this problem.

Yes, definitely you can buy replace with any 2.5" laptop hard disk make sure that you buy HD with correct interface, if you old HD is IDE then buy IDE hard disk , elsei if SATA buiy SATA harddisk

You can hook two computers together using a crossover cable. They may have them at radio shack, if not you can find one on the web for cheap. Then you can put the install in one cd and have it install in the other computer.

check that you have no floppy disks in the drive and also no usb memory sticks/Hard drives plugged in as if they are and are not bootable you will get the error you describe

Check your owners manual and see if there is a way to format the hard drive. If so, format it and try it again.

If not, or if you can't get past the hdd error, check your owners manual and see what type of hard drive it takes. Go to your local computer store, buy one and install it in your TV. This SHOULD stop the error message, and allow you to format the new drive using your TV's menu structure. Again, check the owners manual for formatting instructions.

If you are an experimental type of person, you can install the tv hard drive in an external hard drive case, plug it into your computer and try to get it running.

Finally, if it turns out to be some kind of proprietary hard drive you may have to check with LG to purchase a replacement.

Usually a hard drive needs to be recognized by the bios (small programe chip on the motherboard) check to see if the hard drive is listed there (if not try a seek by settings to auto ) if the harddrive is recognized but not partitionned or formatted it depends on the operations system you want to install

it is also so that for installing the OS on to the harddrive you temporairilly have to change to boot settings and usually the OS dics has to be bootable .
