  Hi Gordon

  I just downloaded drivers from the Dell website in support of xp

  I don't want Windows 7 at all so I'm ready to lose all data, so how can I do to remove it?

  You say that you have started from the XP CD, but something is wrong with that
  you do. Just boot from the CD and follow the prompts for a
  clean install. A new installation by formatting the
  drive and does not care what version of Windows is installed (or
  even if any version of Windows is installed.

• Replace all hard drives

  Hello

  I have two PS5000E without.  One is the production and the other is off site and contains only replicas.  I need to increase capacity on the SAN production so I will replace all 16 discs with 2 TB drives, and I also want to move the RAID level of 5 to 6.

  I only have not supported with Dell more so instead of borrow a San to a rep, I plan to use SAN offsite to help me with the process, and I'm ok with not having DR is not for the few days that it will take.  I have backups.

  I think my plan is healthy, but I would like to hear from an expert before I go ahead with it.  What I intend to do is:

  1. Save the config for the DR SAN
  2. Break replication
  3. Bring the DR SAN on site
  4. Attach a serial cable, turn on and run reset to restore the config factory
  5. Run Remote Setup Wizard to set up and attach it to the Group on the site
  6. Remove the Member on the site of the Group on the site
  7. Wait for data to be moved to the DR SAN
  8. Replace all hard drives in the on-site SAN
  9. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize and he join the band on the spot
  10. Remove the DR SAN of the Group on the site
  11. Wait for data to be moved to the square of SAN
  12. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize it
  13. Copy recorded in DR SAN configuration file and restore the original config
  14. Return of the DR SAN to its location off site
  15. Reenable replication

  I'm doing this right?  Is there an easier way?

  Looking forward to your answers.

  Curt

  Firstly, according to the firmware, if new readers are dell disks they will be rejected by the frimware.

  Two.  Assuming that the 2 TB drives are OK, there is a way more simple that does not require you to reconfigure your table of DR.

  Replication pause 1.).

  2.) stop of the table of DR.

  3.) table offf DR power, remove and package upward DR drives, but leave them on the DR site.

  4.) chassis Bring DR w/o readers to the main site.

  5.) cable chassis DR

  Stop 6) primary site servers.

  7.) stop of the main table.

  8.) remove readers of the main site of the chassis and install these drives in empty chassis of DR.

  9.) power return to the top and check it came OK online.

  10.) install new drives 2 TB in the main frame.

  11.) power up and add it to the main group.

  12.) add the 2 TB array in its own pool.

  13.) create the RAIDset RAID6 and let it complete the construction.   Make sure that all network ports are configured and upward.

  Fusion 14.) the pools and the data will start interlacing to the new Member.

  (15.) once you see data moves OK the new Member, select the 'old' member of the DR chassi and move this member to the temp pool.

  16.) once all data is migrated, reset the table of chassis DR.

  17.) remove the drive from the chassis DR.

  18.) frame to move to the site of DR.  Readers to back power and above.

  19.) re - enable replication

• Installed hard drives data recovery serial

  As many other users on these boards, by X 205 won't start.

  My question: How can I recover the data on my hard drive, since there are two of them?

  I ran a search to find all the files I wanted (*.jpg in this case) and the search came back with hundreds of files (pictures) that I'm trying to recover... but it wont let me open them.

  Any help is appreciated!

  Remove each disk of the machine, connect using 2.5 SATA box at the other PC as external device and you should have access to all stored data.

• external hard drive partition removal

  WD external hard drive has bought recently.  He had a factory partion and I can't remove it.  Disk management I tried and do me not (as an administrator) to remove it.  I can change the drive letter, but not anymore.  It shows up as a CD drive. but this is not a cd.  I have not installed the factory program that came with the disk that is on this partition (665 mb).  Rather I copied information from the computer to the disk manually (I know not so old school).  I want the missing drive, but have failed so far.  Probably should have formatted drive until I copied the data on it, but too late now (it took 8 hours to copy all the data).

  Help?

  Hello foxman24,

  The partition you make reference to contains the WD SmartWare software. So you can successfully unlock your drive on each computer that you connect to. If you do not use SmartWare and do not want this virtual CD you can disable it by following these instructions: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=YJvBcl
  Hope that helps.

• How can I recover my files from hard drive on a clean hard disk, Diskpart

  I tried to install Windows 8 Preview, however, I kept getting a message saying that Windows is to not install the disk hard because it was in the GPT format or something. When this happened, a forum on the internet suggested that I use DiskPart to clean the disc. I did as he said, not realizing that it would literally clean off my hard drive. I am trying to use another hard disk and install a (overview of Win8) OS on it so that I can access the old hard drive and retrieve it using a program called TestDisk http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk

  I hope that it will work, but I would like to comment on this and maybe some VIP tips.
  At this point, any advice is good advice.
  Thank you

  First of all, I would highly recommend NOT to use Windows 8 for your recovery efforts.  New systems of operating have incompatibilities with the generation previous tools and utilities - witness to the fact that all of the major anti-virus companies update their products to Windows 8.  Stay with a published known operating system.

  Then, realizing that what you do for the old hard disk decreases the chance that you will be able to recover the files.  You would ideally take the disc, put it in an antistatic bag and ship it to a recovery company data that you would charge probably hundreds of thousands of dollars to recover your data, but was probably a chance of recovering 100% as long as the player has not been written to since the diskpart session.

  Having never been in the position that you are in because my computer gets backed up every night, I can't recommend a recovery product based on personal use. I've seen a good many people recommend Recuva (http://www.piriform.com/recuva) and it would probably do the work for you... but remember once again, play you with the reader, becomes it is likely that you will not be able to recover at all.

• vSphere Esxi 4.1 - reconnected hard drive data lost

  Hello

  I have ESXI 4.1 running on a HP Proliant managed by Vsphere

  the virtual machine is a simple Windows Server 2008 R2 Std

  It runs on a data store that is a hard drive of 250 GB on the proliant

  I have a 1 TB drive also which I use as the drive data and this is added as a second drive.

  This allows me to disconnect the 1 TB drive. run and export the VM stop and save effectively just the virtual machine

  data on the 1 TB drive, that I Windows backup on a daily schedule.

  I run this procedure to stop the virtual machine

  disconnect the 2 disk which is the 1 TB data store

  running the export

  and then reconnect the hard drive 2 and restarting the virtual machine

  It worked great until last night.

  When I restored the data store, it has restored about dated February 2, 2013.

  I can't understand what has happened and really need help to avoid meeting in this new

  Fortunately, I can recover all the data since nightly backups that I ran a backup before you perform the procedure described above.

  I'm mystifed.

  Here's what I noticed when you unplug the hard drive 2 last night.

  Finally I did this procedure on February 2 and the backup to the top of the virtual machine

  After the virtual machine is stopped and exporting, then I went to add the hard drive I could see a dated 2nd February

  the thing is that I assumed it meant the date that his latest creation so don't think too much about. The data store is all most of the 1 TB drive so it's not like him both of them can store on disk. There are only two files vmdk files and that's what I expected to see.

  I started everything and checked to make sure that faulty data was available and it went well, Windows Server

  I didn't check the dates, but once the staff came this morning it began to be clear that nothing happened 2nd feb existed and actually I had added 2 disc hard back from this date.

  I have two questions that I can't answer

  1 where the hell is the data store frrom last night before disconnection? I just unplugged and not clicked the option to remove data.

  2 how a store of data of 1 TB of 2nd Feb suddnely may not appear in its place.

  If anyone can help solve me this problem I would really appreciate it.

  There are no snapshots more listed in the Snapshot Manager

  Although most of the time it's ok, not necessarily count on it (it's just a text file that contains the information of snapshot). Always check the settings of the virtual machine to verify that the virtual disk has no snapshot name (i.e... - 00000 x hard). The time shown for the files, is at once when the file descriptor hard (virtual disks consist of two files hard, a header/descriptor and a data file, but only the time stamp and the name of the header file and the size of the data file is displayed in the data store Explorer) has been changed, so it's ok if it shows when you run the consolidation.

  attached screenshots indicate it of okay now and be safe remove the DISK_1 and add in back without risk of that happening again?

  I'm sure DISK_1 point parameters of the virtual machine to the "Windows Server 2008 R2 Std_1.vmdk" and "Windows Server 2008 R2 Std_1 - 000001.vmdk" now obsolete and can be deleted. As previously mentioned, I suggest that you move this file into a new subdirectory and delete later if all goes as planned.

• How to display ONLY the photos on my hard drive and remove the duplicates it.

  I bought Photo Sweeper but have heard warnings of ' reference fileis and the risk of the original photo, sitting on the hard drive.  .  Is there a way to see ONLY photos on the hard drive and use Photo Sweeper here?

  Background: on my HP PC for years, I've created folders for each Member of our family.  Thus, a paper copy of each group photo were regularly filed in each issue of people pictured in it.  Migration to iPhoto and iMac five years ago, all copies of the same photo were transferred on my Mac.  More recently, I've migrated my iPhotos library of Photos.  I would like to clarify these multiple copies to a hard copy, but I feel of the complications and risks. In particular, the integrity of all the projects I did (for example attach a photo to the album, a book or a slide show) could be compromised if I happen to remove the copy special paper which refers to this picture (the correct term?).

  It seems to me that, if I could see the actual photos on the hard drive and use the double Finder here, I could get the job done.  I could combine that info (faces, keywords, descriptions) that I added on a large number of copies and sign him for a single copy and then to eliminate duplicates. Would this work?   Back to a project, I could see a photo with a warning icon, a yellow triangle with an exclamation point inside, which indicates the hard drive file to which he referred is now defunct.  I could (I guess I could, but how!) change things to make this photo point to rest a copy on the hard disk, couldn't I?

  Tips appreciated.  The notice are maybe just don't not to alter my photo library, but it says that I have almost 30 000 photos. I know this isn't so.   Thank you.

  Your question is not clear

  What Version of the operating system and Photos you have? You have a referenced library or a managed library? What specific "warnings" topic referenced b = files you are?

  Please explain what you have and what is your concern

• Satellite A100 - hard drive data recovery

  Hello

  I recently tried to help a friend for his Toshiba Satellite A100 data recovery, died on this screen.
  I thought this would be a task simply remove the hard drive and put a HARD drive caddy and attaching it to another computer.

  This doesn't seem to work.
  Can I put the hard drive in the computer and I can hear start the computer to the top and was able to see it with a LCD display. I was able to delete the data in this way, so we're safe.

  My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?
  I guess it must be an interface or format the laptop can be used for the recovery section and cannot therefore be seen as a normal drive.

  If I could not delete the data because say the motherboard is dead. Is it possible to be able to see the data on another computer.

  E-mail: [[email protected]]

  > My question is why do we seem to remove the disc and see on another computer?

  Of course you can do if you want to use a symbol external USB SATA controller (external HARD drive) you should be able to connect to another computer.
  But if the HARD drive is faulty, it will not work.

• Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

  I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
  He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

  When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

  I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

  Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

  Thanks for anyone who can help you.

• "Access denied" error on all hard drives external and MagicDisc

  I just purchased a Lenovo B575 running Win7 Home Premium and I'm very frustrated that I can't access my external hard drives, which are essential to my work. I get the error "Access denied" the normal start, but I'm able to use disks normally in safe mode. Here are some of the things I've tried:

  -Change the permissions/ownership after normal startup: does not work. Windows doesn't let me change the permissions or ownership, even if my single user account is set to administrator.

  -Change the permissions and ownership in safe mode: I found a solution online saying "Everyone" to add to the list of users in the Security tab. It works * temporary *, until I unplug my hard drives. When I plug back them, it's back to square one.

  -Install MagicDisc to access some files I saved in the form of ISO images: MagicDisc seems to work very well and load images normally... but also, I get the error "Access denied" when you try to open the drive in Explorer.

  -USB flash drives: same problem.

  -Other erratic behavior: one of my USB drives will not stop read/write as soon as I plug. I don't know if it's the McAfee antivirus analysis each of millions of files that I have on this subject, or if something else is happening.

  I had NONE of these issues on my old Acer and HP to my friend has no problem loading my readers. If I can't find a solution soon, I'll be forced to return this laptop that I need to access my work files.

  I lost my patience all yesterday and not the OneKey Rescue, restore my system to nine. Then, I named my new laptop of the same name that my old (relevant at all?). He immediately provoked a hard drive to work. The 750 GB it does not work yet, but I changed the permissions AND ownership to "Everyone" in SafeMode... now it seems to work correctly. No problem with other removable disks.

  That they are related or not, I have not initialized or changed some settings on the programs supplied with the laptop. My guess is that port Locker has something to do with the question I had - even if it has been disabled before. I'm uninstalling as I did not need. BioExcess, face recognition... everything goes down the drain. These should be optional, not enabled by default. Too many background services! I'm disabling a bunch of unnecessary stuff.

• If I saved photo on an external hard drive, now remove the laptop backup files to free up space?

  If I saved photo on an external hard drive, I can now delete backup files from the laptop for free space - my 'E' drive is full and cannot run backups more.  Also other documents that have now been removed still have backups that I need?  How will I know what backup should I keep not individually through hundreds of files?  Thank you in advance.

  Original title: can anyone help please?

  Hello

  You can take a safe backup.

  After you create your first backup, Windows backup will add new information or changed to your subsequent backups. If you save your backups on a hard drive or network, Windows backup will create a new backup, full for you automatically if necessary. If you save your backups on CDs or DVDs and could not find an existing backup disk, or if you want to create a new backup of all the files on your computer, you can create a full backup. Here's how to create a full backup:

  1. Open backup and restore by clicking the Start button, clicking Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking the backup and restore.

  2. In the left pane, click on create new, full backup.
