• Can I just create a virtual machine with the installation of operating system and Application in an external drive?

  People,

  Hello. I use VMPlayer to install virtual machines a few OS in my laptop.

  Because my laptop's hard drive space is not enough to create a VM more to install Oracle Linux and its Application, can I just create a virtual machine in my laptop and then install Oracle Linux and its Application in an external USB disk?

  You can create and save the Virtual Machine in any place that you have read & write access to and enough space to support what is being installed.

• Can't erase my hard drive recovery utility

  Hello everyone,

  Huge disappointment a few hours ago. My system would not start. Rebooted from OS X Recovery and scanned with utility disk to find out there was a mistake not repairable in the hard disk which told me that I should restore with time machine. Fortunately, I had my backed up system and that's what I was doing. After the process, I found that my data was back, I have not all apps! No safari, no itunes, no store apple to re - install applications, nothing... Maybe I should have stopped here and ask for help, but given that my data has been backed up, I thought it wouldn't hurt to try the other option in the OS X Recovery: reinstall OS X.

  So I tried to reinstall OS X. It took a few hours, and when the system was finally restarted to complete the installation, it prompted a message saying that OS X could not be installed (don't remember why).

  Now, when I try to start the computer, it automatically goes to the recovery, and practically I can't do anything... I can't use time machine because the hard drive to the mac does not present as an option to install the system. It won't let me delete the partition that the system created to install the OS X either (about 1.3 GB)... the options for 'clear' are grayed out.

  I tried to erase everything, but I'm not power, and it seems that there is not much I can do, given all the options appear to be available... What a physical error in the hard drive? It was working perfectly before this happened, and the laptop has not left the office in between.

  The system is a MacBook Pro from 2012 (originally with the Mountain Lion and now ran on Yosemite). The hard drive is a semiconductor.

  All the miraculous solutions are welcome!

  Thank you!

  Should be explained a little more disciplined, please.

  For example: the system created to install the OS X is (about 1.3 GB) is not clear: 1.3 GB is much too small to install OSX on it, then of course, you can't go. And you cannot use the RecoveryPartition for anything other than repair or reinstall the disk 'real '. The Partition Recovery itself not even 1 GB by a long shot...

  Since you have the TM backup, what you can do is:

  in the recovery partition, open DiskUtility, select the disk (not the partition, but the disk with the name 'complicated': DiskUtility should give the size (128GB, 56 GB or other): then in DiskUtility choose tab partition, then the partition: 1 partition, OS X Extended (journaled), (Advanced :) button) GUID Partition table.

  a when you're done, exit DiskUtility, select install OSX then TM, or install it directly from TM.

  I can read only half of my product key due to wear, but I need to reinstall xp on my hard drive again. How can I get the key?

  If you can still boot your old disk, you can use a program such as one of them:

  KeyFinder: <> http://www.magicaljellybean.com/ >
  Belarc Advisor: <> http://www.belarc.com/free_download.html >

  to read the key out of your old system.

  Also note that if you have a system OEM and the OEM installation disks, the key can be incorporated in the installation discs and can not be necessary when your reinstalling Windows.

• Question on erasing the HARD drive and partitions

  Hi my name is Fanta and I want to sell my laptop to someone, but I want to avoid impersonation so.
  I'll use an erasure software that will wipe away my whole HARD drive until there is no data.
  This is why I would like to know if there is a recovery on my HARD drive partition ready, and if there is a partition to the HARD drive recovery.

  Wipe tool will wipe the partition on the HARD disk. If he wipe the partition will take the recovery partition and if I need the recovery partition and I don't what will happen?

  Hello

  Generally, you won't find any recovery on the HARD drive partition. The Toshiba Recovery CD should always be supplied with the device. It must be only installed the operating system with the Toshiba drivers and utilities.
  However, if the Erase tool will also clear your partition then all files and data will be deleted.

  The HARD drive will be formatted again during the installation of the OS. If you want to use partitions on the HARD disk, you can create it in addition with Magic8 Partitions. I use this app and it of very great.

• Remove recovery partition satellite A200 - option "Erase the hard drive"?

  Hi people,

  I have a new Satlellite A200 and it won't start. Tried to run the recovery CD, but no joy.
  Could someone please tell me, if I chose

  'Clear the hard disk' then 'delete all data and partitions of the hard disk '.

  This would also remove the computer's internal recovery partition?

  I have the recovery CD, but as I said, they do not work and I was wondering if the compensation completely HARD drive then runs the disk recovery partition recovery help.

  Sorry if this is a fundamental question for you guys! I read through hundreds of threads, but could not find a definitive answer.

  Thanks in advance,

  If you mean the partition hidden WinRE Vista then; YES

  But don t worry buddy. The Toshiba Vista recovery CD would be to format the whole HARD drive and erase all partitions, but it creates the hidden WinRE Vista back to the HARD disk partition.

• Can't erase my hard drive using the recovery CD

  Hi all

  A few weeks ago, I bought a new recovery CD to clean my hard drive and start over.
  However, I still can't do that as the recovery CD has no facility for this.
  I can't find anywhere on the laptop screen which will allow me to reformat the hard disk, the format option seems to be gray...
  Tghis becomes very frustrating.

  Can someone tell me please an easy way to format my drive?
  Thank you
  Gehd

  Hello Gehd

  As much as I know there is no option to do this, because this will be done automatically before the recovery image installation begins. Just follow the on-screen menu and start the recovery image installation.

• Can I install the Vista upgrade to my system if I erased the hard drive?

  I recently struck out everything what one of my hard drives. Can I install an upgrade of Vista on it?

  The requirements for the multimedia upgrade is to have an operating system already qualify as installed Windows XP to use it

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  You can try the following:

  If your computer comes with a qualifying previous license such as Windows XP and the certificate of authenticity is still attached to the machine in good condition, then the COST is reason enough to represent the compliance to the software license agreement. No previous required software installation, which means you can do a clean install with Windows Vista Upgrade disc.

  How to do a clean install with upgrade disc:

  Boot from the Windows Vista DVD

  Click Install now

  Accept the license agreement

  When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)

  Click on drive Options

  Select the disc/s click on Delete

  Click new

  Click on apply

  Click OK

  Click Format, and then click next to proceed with the installation

  Skip entering your Windows Vista key product and complete the installation.

  When you reach the desktop, click Start, right-click on computer

  Click on properties

  Scroll down to the Windows Activation

  Click the link x days before activation.

  Click on the link that says: "show me other ways to activate.

  Enter the product key

  Click next

  Select the Activation of the phone

  Click Next when you enter your key page

  Select your country

  Click Next, call the number listed

  Be sure to explain your situation to the Appeals Officer.

  Provide the installation generated when ID requested by the call agent

  They give a confirmation ID in return, enter it

  Click next to complete the activation.
