bug: 'drive not ready' which was already fixed bug is back

When you try to start VMware so that you have mounted a vmdk with vdk.exe jobs appears an unnecessary error message / false.

It is harmless but annoying as it prevents automatic start of virtual machines

The bug was present in the earlier version but had been fixed with 6.5.0, if I remember correctly.

Now with 7.0.0. He's back.

Whereas from VMware seems to check all drives available - and it merges if it finds something unexpected.

Suggestion: ignore all this. It is not really important if a vmdk is mounted everything by starting the workstation.

See screenshot of the error message-

    Ensure that there is no floppy disk in the floppy drive if equipped and no CD/DVD in the CD/DVD drive but it looks like a hard drive failure.

  • Bluetoothis is not ready - Qosmio F750

    Hi all

    I only notice this problem recently with my Toshiba Qosmio laptop, in the past I was able to connect to my bluetooth very well (I use it to connect the controllers like a Wii remote). I left it for about a month or two without using it and the other day I went to use and got the error code "Bluetooth is not ready."

    I tried a lot of troubleshooting methods found on this site but I seem to be having much luck restore my bluetooth, so I thought that I ask here before I wreck something on my laptop.

    I have a:
    PC laptop Toshiba Qosmio F750
    Laptop
    Note: 5.9
    processor Intel® Core i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20 GHz
    RAM: 8.00 GB
    System type: 64-bit operating system

    I have windows 7 and which was already installed on the computer when I bought it under a year previously. I also have an Atheros AR5B195 Bluetooth device, or so it is said in my laptop on a label. Here are some screenshots of my question, the first screen shot in a compilation of photos:

    Photo, Bluetooth RFBUS Device Manager (this device cannot start (code 10)).

    I tried to reinstall the bluetooth stack and the filters one or twice (not sure if they were good) I also tried a Microsft Quickfix, which ends up being not not compatiable with my system. Whenever I tried a new method I backed up my computer with a restore point system and if the method failed I reloaded my system restore to be if all point right back to square one.

    I would appreciate all help and if I need details more information please let me know. Thanks for your time.

  • Hard drive not detected once, but now?

    Hello

    I am Zak, a bit of techno when it comes to playing with the software, or re-Assembly of computers and whatnot. Unfortunately, I have no idea about other things.

    Some quick history on my laptop: the fan was made terrible noises in recent weeks. Initially, I thought it was little dust, so I got a few duster. A lot of dust came out, so that can only be good, but the noise came back after a few days. After some research, I thought that the other logical explanation was probably the hard drive goes bad. I hesitate to send back to HP because I use it for all my college work and it would really put me back weeks to have it not.

    So, a few days ago I booted my computer laptop at a "drive not detected" - or very similar - message. There were a few options for f1 - f4, they were information system and 3 different tests (I think). I ran the tests, all of them came back fine, noting that there are no operating system installed, or a hard drive to boot from. I rebooted because I didn't quite start and wanted to see if there were other options. It turns out that he has started well. I restarted once more and again once it did it very well.

    Then, I coded around, back up all my data, gather warranty information, installation of the HP Support Assistant, etc. I ran all the tests help Wizard and there is no problems found. Since I just got the laptop hibernation when I stop using it, and I have not met any unusual problems. All this sounds great, but my warranty expires December 7 this year. It is safe for me to assume that the "drive not detected" error was just one missed? I read a lot of discussions and FAQS on him and it's not something that happens once and goes. However, I never had to use a warranty so not sure quite how the process works, and as I said, he sent everywhere would put me in my work.

    In order to be a full post, I have a HP G62 - 367DX laptop, running on Windows 7 64-bit OS, and as far as I know there no change was made between error and my prior boot. If there is any other information I can give you, let me know.

    See you soon, thank you for all help and good day

    The wizard tests are not as comprehensive or reliable as the drive hard test in the BIOS... tap F10 as you power up, go and find the hard drive test. Run the long form test and see what it says. It is not uncommon that the hard drive start as intermittent and get progressively more frequent problems. If your drive passes the test of long form, only enough safely, you can assume that it was a unique gremlin, but it's still a really good idea to back up. I like the idea of online backup services and I will quote Carbonite only because it is well known and not as an endorsement. There are several more and year external drive is a good idea.

    You can't put off forever; restarting You'll have to deal with the issue at some point.

    Hello

    It seems that whenever I have to "turn on" a virtual machine using VMware Workstation 6.5.1 I get an error disc is not ready . Give me continue, ignoring and Cancel the options I always support on continue.

    I think it's a memory allocation error.

    I tried it on 4 different computers and with 4 different operating systems. Every computer that I tried on was completely different, custom built computers. Except one, which is a laptop, to be precise, Dell Inspiron 700 Mr. others included Windows XP x 64 (on Computer1), Windows Vista x 64 (on Computer1), Windows XP (on laptop), Windows XP (on computer2) & Windows Vista (on computer3).

    Whenever I got it redownloaded from the VMware Web site, certainly isn't a problem on my end.

    One of these computers/OS I get an error similar to this one, below, when I turn "on" a virtual machine;

    Please fix this bug in your next version of VMware Workstation.
