Cannot add Ubuntu host physical hard drive to Windows 7 comments

When I try to add a physical hard disk to a Windows 7 client on an Ubuntu host, I get the error: "insufficient permission to access file. This occurs if the drive is mounted on Ubuntu or not. In Ubuntu, permissions on records House / < username > / vmware and/dev/sdc have rwx was set by "chmod-r 777 vmware."

Steps to follow:

-Launch the Virtual Machine settings
-Add the hard drive; Use a physical disk
-Device is/dev/sdc (connected by eSata to the host of Ubuntu)
-Use: Use the entire disk
-Name of the disk file: Windows7x64 - 0.vmdk
-"Finish" produces the error message. Steps to follow:

The hard drive is connected via eSATA. The error message occurs if the disk is mounted or not in Ubuntu. It also occurs if I try to add a partition, but the folder is/dev/sdc.

Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 - bit comments host.

It's probably something obvious to a Linux expert...

This is expected behavior

    Not in the way you probably do. Here is the Service Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 50. Unlike the Envy 17 and Pavilion dv7, Pavilion 17 has that a single hard drive Bay. The only way to add a second hard drive is to remove the DVD (optical drive) and insert a DVD to the hard drive bay adapter. The manual shows how to remove the DVD player and you can buy the adapter at amazon.com or jacobsparts.com. Note that this is a 9.5 mm thick disc, not a 12.7 mm. Both types are available. I do not recommend the adapter DVD player solution because you lose the use of the optical drive, and also because the interface of optical drive is usually not as fast as the main hard drive interface. Always fast enough for simple storage and you can run a video of her, but you do not want to edit the video of this disc, for example.

    https://www.jacobsparts.com/items/HDDBAY-02/

    If you decide to go the route of adapter DVD I would buy a large capacity 5400 RPM SATA 2.5 inches wide and drive hard thickness 9.5 mm. No sense in buying a reader more expensive high-performance.

  • HP ENVY laptop laptop 15-as032nr: buy 512 GB SSD laptop. You want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

    Hello

    I bought the HP ENVY 15-as032nr with only 512 GB SSD laptop. I want to add additional 1 to hard drive. Can it be done?

    Yes, you have the 512 m2 NVME PCI - e (lucky) drive gig and that goes into a slot and then there is also a slot open for a standard hard disk 2.5 thumbs or SATA SSD. See pages 30-33 of the manual here:

    Repair manuals

    It is likely that your laptop does not contain the HDD mounting kit and cable as shown on page 30 and 31 and this note is in the Manual:

    The disk spare parts kit hard does not include the rubber hard drive support or cable hard drive. The hard disk rubber support is available using the spare part number 857797-001. The hard drive cable is available by using the spare part number 857806-001

    An extra $ 66 for the housing and the cable seems a bit strong, but I couldn't find their sale anywhere other than HP Store.

  • FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

    How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

    Hi MVRMVR,

    Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

    I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:
