is there something wrong with my HARD drive? If she wrote on the site of data?

(OS X 10.8 was a clean install after a failed upgrade)

in any case, is it possible to divide this drive? (clean install of El Cap would be nice but is not worth it because it might be too slow for me - early 2009 iMac)

How much free disk space do you have?

  • SanDisk extreme pro 128 GB cannot create the NTFS partition

    Hello
    I have a sandisk extreme pro 128 GB usb and I try to format it to NTFS in windows and it is impossible.
    The only way I success for formatting on my MAC but the NTFS partition is not visible in Windows...
    Use NTFS or HFS partition without problems, but on Windows the button does not work on my MAC and can...
    Does anyone have a solution for me?

    PS: I try windows XP, 7 or 8.1 nothing works...
    Windows see 2 partitions on my key, but cannot format.

    I just fix myself... about here was a good idea LoL

    So my problem was when I format the key the first time I use my MAC, and by default the MAC use GUID partition to format the key and on Windows, we should use MBR partition.

    Then when I format the USB on my MAC using disk utility, on the score of "variants" tab change when to create an NTFS partition MBR (instead of default GUID) partition

    After this, format the key and that's it!

    Its working fine now, I'm happy with this beautiful, design USB by Sandisk ;-)

I am also unable to install Parallels tools when I use Bootcamp as a virtual machine. The error message "cannot create the 'root-enumerated device' necessary to install Parallels Paravirualization driver.

    a. start your virtual machine and cancel the installation of Parallels Tools Wizard.

    c. restart Windows.

    d. install the Parallels tools by clicking on the Virtual Machine--> install the Parallels Tools.

    If the problem persists, try the following:

    Temporarily uninstall all the antivirus software to the virtual machine and repeat steps of the "Uninstall & install Parallels Tools" section above.

    Note: Don't forget to install the back antivirus software, once the problem is resolved.

     

    Method 3: Uninstall, clean & install Parallels tools

  • Repair your startup disk Bootcamp disappearing after you create the new partition

    . After some research, I found that it was the way forward to create a separate partition, and so I did another partition.

    I didn't know it would affect my Windows partition that I thought it was completely different.

    So now, when I start it up, there is no option to start with Windows. But when I boot the Mac and select Startup disk, it displays Boot Camp is still there, and all my files etc. are still there.

    I tried to create one separate partition (other than Bootcamp). After that its done and I started my computer, I found that the option to boot Windows (Bootcamp startup disk) has disappeared. But I still see boot camp Mac files. Any solution for this? Thank you.

    (I tried to find this solution on the discussion Forum, and I found: repair Boot Camp after having created the new partition, however, I'm not able to follow these instructions. any help would be appreciated)

  • Satellite C55-A-1JL - 10 Windows sound driver - cannot create the instance of the APO

    Hello.

    I have Toshiba Satellite C55 - A (PSCGAE).

    Yesterday, I've updated my Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 and install the drivers.

    Version 1.2.41.0 of his Studio of DTS (32/64 bit).

    When I try to open this application I have error: cannot create the instance APO.

    What should I do?

    You need to update the audio driver (I guess that your device uses IDT HD audio card)
    But double check in Device Manager, then expand the section audio controllers, video and game to find out what kind of sound card you have.

    DTS Studio seems to be already aware...

    So I advise you to go to the Device Manager and uninstall its drivers Associates
    After reboot new, Windows 10 must check updates automatically... in case that it does not happen, you can try to manually start the update of the Device Manager.

    My flash player works well, but lately, I can't create a folder: it simply indicates: cannot create the folder?

    =====================================
    The dialog box you received usually indicates that there
    are too many files copied to the root directory of the
    flash drive.

    The solution is to remove one or more pictures and
    create new empty folders in their place... then move
    all the photos in the files... problem solved.

    KB2628259 doesn't install, cannot create the directory or file. Anyone know of a solution?

    Hi dakota25,

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    ·         You are able to install other updates successfully?

    ·         You get the error message?

    Follow these methods.

    Method 1: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 2: Put the computer in a clean boot state to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Error message: cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt Settings\

    I recently had a problem with the virus 'Restore Windows'. I was able to get rid of it with Malwarebytes antivirus scanner, but when I turn on my computer I get this error message.
    Cannot create the folder C:\Documents and Settings\ of Settings\Marlon\Local Application BVRP Software\NetWaiting\MoHlog.txt

    I'm no expert, but I feel that my C drive disappeared, or at least has been hidden. My documents, pictures and music files are all empty. My programs (start > all programs) have been removed and deleted the shortcuts on the desktop. When I go to my computer, my personal and shared document files are not accessible. Under the description it says that they are hidden. My local disk (c) is also empty, but there is still very little space which suggests that programs and files have not been deleted.
    Is it possible to recover my files?
    Thank you

    Hello

    MoHlog.txt file is related to the software of modem on the computer, you can uninstall and reinsta it check if it works.

    Also scan your computer for any infection by virus still present on the computer using any scanner online.

    You can also try the system restore to the point before that the computer has been infected by the virus and check if it helps.

  • Win 7 Pro, FX6100, 8 GB of ram, 250 GB ssd; cannot find the system partition

    Basics are there.  It blocks from the tent to set up partitions.  I am giving all of the 250 GB SSD to use as seems it and it is just lost.  It does work with no partitions, partition of the entire disk.  He didn't tell me what he wants.  And error messages make no sense.

    They are like: (and my response)

    cannot find the system partition (do a stupid)
    Can not find the installation partition (crikey, I gave you the entire disk, make one)

    Talk about mega-frustration.  How about a useful error message and some useful ways to respond.

    >:-((

    If the ssd is not recognized in the first part of the installation process, as a location to install win on, you need to check the manual of the card mother about all the necessary bios for its port settings, or weather, you need to install any third-party disk controller.

    And if it's a new ssd, must not contain any partition table, unless you have prepared this ssd when you started in one of your other installations win, that can be part of your problem.
