can I use the external drive and a recovery partition on

I'm doing a recovery on my internal hard drive.  The command + r keys when restarting do not bring up the recovery mode.

The diskutil command terminal list, we get:

wish list: diskutil

/ dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

#: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

0: GUID_partition_scheme * 1.0 TB disk0

1: disk0s1 EFI EFI 209.7 MB

2: Apple_HFS GB HDD 999.9 disk0s2

/ dev/disk2 (external, physical):

0: CD_partition_scheme * MB 804,4 disk2

1: Apple_partition_scheme disk2s0 700.4 MB

2: Apple_partition_map disk2s0s1 32.3 KB

3: Apple_HFS WD SmartWare 289,0 MB disk2s0s2

/ dev/disk3 (external, physical):

3: disk3s3 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

4: Apple_HFS model 998,8 GB disk3s4

5: disk3s5 Apple_Boot Recovery 650.0 MB HD

I have Yosemite and model on 2 partitions of disk3.  They each have a recovery partition.  Some how we use these?

Restart the computer and hold down the Option key. That should bring up a window where you can choose the recovery disc.

  • I would use the external drive to download my photos, documents, etc. but do not know how to proceed.

    I just got my old crash (desk top) computer. I knew it would, so I transferred all my information on an external hard drive. I bought a dell 2020 with windows 8, only bought a few days ago. I would use the external drive to download my photos, documents, etc. but do not know how to proceed.  My old computer won't start at all, that's why I got the external drive. Could someone please help me with this task. Thank you.

    Original title: confused

    You can simply plug it in, connect the external hard drive, make sure it is turned on.

    Then copy and paste on your files.

    In Windows 8, start File Explorer

    Highlight all the files and folders

    Click on copy on the Ribbon (Home tab)

    Then then paste into their respective folders

  • Creating subnets - can I use the zero (first) and all-ones (last) subnet?

    Hello!

    According to RFC 950 (link), I can't use the zero and the all-in-one subnet to subnet.

    It is still in force, or I can now use the first (zero) and the last subnet (all-ones)?

    Thank you!

    The default behavior of the routers and Cisco switches is to reuse the zero and all subnets and has been like this for a long time. You can now use all subnets.

  • Portege R500-11Z: how to use the external mic and hear the internal speakers

    We have a Portege R500-11Z running XP and want to use Skype with an external table microphone and the internal speakers.

    When connect us the microphone to the Jack MIC the Portege, built-in speakers cut out!

    How to use an external mic and still hear the internal speakers?

    Hello

    > When connect us the microphone on the Portege, built-in speaker MIC Jack cut!
    Are you sure you used the microphone port and no headphone port?

    Have you checked your settings Audio from Skype?
    There is an option called ring through the speaker too or something like that.

    Please also check the Realtek HD audio Manager in Control Panel.
    There is a tab called Audio i/o.

    Usually, you can change the connector settings, by clicking on the small key-tool icon.
    Disable the option called Mute rear output when plugged headphones before

    As you can see is called headset and not so I m confused a little bit why the speakers are turned off when you connect an external microphone.

    By the way; There is also a tab called micro.
    Check if the two options that reduce the echo and noise are OFF

  • Satellite U300-14 b: can I use the graphics driver for the Intel page?

    My Satellite U300-14 b (VIsta 32 bit Home Premium, 2 GB) has a 'Mobile GM945 Express Chipset Intel'. Download from Toshiba site, says I've got the latest driver, namely 7.14.10.1263 dated 04/25/07.

    The Intel site lists their latest driver such as in date 7.14.10.1364 dated 11/12/07.

    I want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep. I am told that the graphics drivers are often to blame and should therefore be updated.

    Can I safely updated with version 11/12/07, or I risk of problems? Not sure if Toshiba are just slow to release the updated driver, or if there is a better reason that they did not?

    Well, usually you can use the graphic driver directly from Intel page but I found several threads here in the forum that said that the chart non-Toshiba drivers can be installed and used only at your own risk

    > want to try the latest version of the driver to help solve a problem of occasional crash / restart when Vista wakes from sleep
    Hmm perhaps this problem could be related to the graphics driver, but I recommend you to update to Vista and install all THE patches for Vista.

  • You want to move install Bootcamp or VM VMWare on the external drive and run it from there.

    I have two versions of Windows 7 on my iMac 24 "4 GB. One is a Bootcamp of Win 7 Professional installation.  One is a computer virtual from Windows 7 in VMWare Mac OSX. The two windows installs work well (the Bootcamp we're NOT accessible through VMWare right now).

    I want to do is get AN installation running on a partition on the external drive I connected. I have 3 partitions on a disk of T 1.  A 500 GB for Time Machine and 2 250 GB, Mac OSX and a Fat32.

    What I wish really is a straight Win BOOTABLE install on Fat 32 partitions, but will sag to move the VMWare installation to the outside OSX partition.

    Are there ways to do?  I thought Winclone, but as it is in oblivion I don't know about use.

    Any ideas?

    With the Virtual Machine shutdown, not suspended and VMware Fusion closed copy the target Virtual Machine hard disk external package and double-click it to launch the first time and it will fill an entry on the Virtual Machine library.

    The extent of the running Windows natively on a disk external Windows is not capable of it in itself although there may be some ways according to the type of external hard drive and various Boot Loader/managers that are out there.

  • Using the Flash drive and external HD

    I have an external hard drive and flash drive I try to use it on one of our virtual machines of Windows. Is there something I should do for the virtual machine to recognize that something is plugged the USB? I plugged it in but it does not appear.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    ESXi 4.1 supports USB and all what you need to do is add a USB controller to the virtual machine that will allow USB devices get detected. Follow the article below

    http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1022290

    A simple USB key can be detected on VM 1 only and not multiple virtual machines at the same time.

    Hope the information is useful.

  • How can I use the saved photos and current catalog?

    My hard drive is filling up and I turn to the use of the photos saved on an external drive while maintaining the current catalog with any changes made to my current photos on my hard drive.

    Hi qwickstraw,

    You can move your photos on an external hard drive by plugging in, select the photos that you want to move in Lightroom and dragging them to the external hard drive. (Go to 04:38)

  • Can I use the new remote and SIRI to select HomeVideo movies on my iMac

    I have more than 1,000 movies from my personal library on the hard drive of my iMac. In the past, the only way to select one was to scroll, scroll and scroll up to what I got. I was told I could use SIRI to ask for the film. When I tried, it chose the Apple or Netflix movie but ignored my Home Video option... I ask something not supported?

    Siri is currently no visibility to personal media.

  • Currently, I am running Windows 7 but to install a range more network adapter Linksys which is only compatible with Windows XP. Can I use the compatibility mode and install through XP?

    You can understand that I want to change my office from Wired to Wireless and really to have the adapter installed in the back of my Office Wireless (with dual band antennas).  The Linksys device is not yet recognized because I'm running Windows 7 while trying to install the drivers which are only Windows XP and previous versions. Is it possible to USE the Windows 7 compatibility mode > XP and still have a stable system when I'm not using the adapter. ?  Really appreciate the help of someone who can advise me.

    Thank you all very much,

    Hi Roger

    The Compatibility Mode works with hardware or software drivers. This mode is less reliable when installing the hardware drivers that it is during the installation of software.

    If Compatibility Mode fails, your only option would be to check with the support of Linksys.
