• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

  I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

• Cannot create a virtual disk existing; problem with files hard?

  Yes... This is a recurring problem since mid-December, and we finally decided to rebuild our vCenter on another host server.  I went and did the things of the new Virtual Machine and has "custom", so that I can browse and recover files hard and * _1.vmdk of our SAN for discs.

  Now, this large all worked Friday.  I just today... and it doesn't work.  D: drive (* _1.vmdk) disappeared, and I can't either remote on the server.  I can't vSphere, nothing!

  Then... we rebuild, changing the name of the server that we just built _old after stopping.

  When I go to recover files hard again, they are changed...?  I can't explain it!  I've attached a screenshot of what I take everything.

  Now... there at - it a way to solve this problem?  And if not, is it possible to find the information that was in these folders to manage our environment?
  
  Help?

  What you're saying gives me a really bad feeling.

  Sorry about that, I really want to tell you something more encouraging, but...

  Assuming that the snapshot you posted shows the old vCenter server folder, you can see that there are no configuration (.vmx) file more. I can tell you with certainty if the virtual machine has been removed (you can check the tasks and events) or if for example a backup application attempted to do his work but because of the virtual disks had reused problem!

  If you still want to use the existing virtual disks, you must move them to the folder of the new virtual machine in order to avoid any confusion.

• Virtual disk "Hard disk 3' is a direct access mapped lun that is not accessible

  I am currently in the process of upgrading our cluster of ESX 4.0 U1 to 4.1. In the process, I came across a physical MSCS 2 with RDM cluster. I stop the VMs and vmotion can them between the hosts of 4.0. Now as soon as I update hosts 4.1 I cannot vmotion the VMs to these 4.1 hosts. The error I get is: "virtual disk"drive hard 3' is a direct access mapped lun that is not accessible". I found an article KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1016210

  who speaks ensuring that LUN number is the same in the presentation of all ESX hosts and I checked, it is the case, moreover, as I said vmotions does not always work for guests, that I have not yet updated. I have not tried anyone all LUNS and re - introduce, don't know if I should try that. Looking for suggestions.

  Thank you
  greendxr

  You have to poweroff the node, remove the RDM drives, migrate the virtual machine, and then add again in RDM disk.

  RDM LUN must be on all hosts.

• Problem with a VM server: "the virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

  Hello!

  I have a problem with a server that does not start.

  We had a virtual machine running on VMWare Infrastructure 3 with two hard drives and an instant backup of them.

  This machine has been removed from the inventory, but when it has been recreated, the secondary hard drive is mentioned for the basic-disk vmdk
  instead of being referenced to the instant vmdk and used for a few days.

  All changes made after the snapshot, were kept in the delta snapshot file, which is not loaded.

  We are with difficult to reference the secondary disk for the snapshot file. We tried to edit the .vmx and hard disk files
  to correct the CID made reference, but when we try to start the virtual machine, we got this error:

  "The virtual disk parent has been changed since the child was created.

  I think it happens because we made a blow-up of a secondary drive a few weeks after the backup snapshot. We spent 30 GB to 50 GB.
  And because it has been referenced and used in another vm.

  *** Log is attached

  Thank you

  Bruno.

• Problems of creation of virtual disk

  Hello

  I create a virtual disk for clustering microsoft, I'm doing it on the same physical host.

  I created a folder in my data store called Test

  I entered on the ESXi Server

  vmkfstools - ch. 1073741824 - d eagerzeroedthick /vmfs/volumes/test/test.vmdk

  I can get the errror

  File_GetFreeSpace: Couldn't statfs

  Unable to create the virtual disk: the system cannot find the specified file (25)

  All the ideas!

  I suggest to use the cd command to change the position in the right folder and then use the relative name for your vmdk.

  (Easier), or create the disk of vSphere client on a virtual computer by using the option for clustering (under the thin provision option).
