• Cannot open my external hard drive

  Hello

  Reinstall everything my laptop with Windows 7. Bought a new Toshiba external hard drive and I connected it. The laptop was able to detect the device, but I can not open the device. What should I do?
  Thanks for your help!

  It has no letter... managed to get help and apparently I needed to go to the control panel and assign the letter.

  Thank you for your answer! :)

• After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

  After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

  Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

  [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

  1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

  2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

  3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

  4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

  NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

  5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

  6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

  NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

  7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

  8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

  9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

  10. restart once again & test.

  NB: Installation KB971029 disables AutoRun/autoplay on USB connected but not 'brilliant media' external drives (i.e., CDs & DVDs). See http://blogs.technet.com/b/msrc/archive/2011/02/08/deeper-insight-into-the-security-advisory-967940-update.aspx

• impact of a newly created virtual hard drive (in windows 7) on the ability of system recovery

  someone has experimented in the use of virtual hard drives (VHD)?

  you are looking for a Recovery Manager questions I found a warning about the Recovery Manager lose functionality after you change the partition of hard disk (HDD) (create/delete partition, volume retraction/extension/delete a partition). as said for example. under http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c0208555

  A disk hard virtual is this constraint list too

  A virtual hard disk does not actually create a partition on the hard drive

  A virtual hard disk allows multiple operating systems to reside on a single host machine. This method allows developers to test the software on different operating systems without the cost or the hassle to install a second hard drive or create another partition on a hard drive.

• When I open my external hard drive via laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically.

  When I open my external hard drive via my laptop, windows Explorer restarts automatically. Why is it so? It opens perfectly well in other major tours. I use windows vista.

  Hello

  ·         You receive an error message when you restart the Explorer?

  Method 1:

  You can run a scan on the hard drive to check for errors and repair if there is no performance problem.

  Reference:

  Check a drive for errors

  Method 2:

  Attempts to start in the State of clean boot and check if the problem persists.

  Put your boot system helps determine if third-party applications or startup items are causing the problem. If so, you need to maybe contact the manufacturer of the program for updates or uninstall and reinstall the program.

  See the following article in the Microsoft KB for more information on how to solve a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or Windows 7:

• Determine the unused space in the virtual hard drives

  I will determine the unused space in my virtual hard drives.  I want to:

  • Select a virtual machine

  • the first vmdk disk is always the OS disk in this environment.  How much space was put in service, and how much is actually used?

  • The other disks are data application.  What is the total space on these non-OS disks, and how much of this space is actually used?

  Thank you!
  

  You then get the results when you run this adapted version?

• Restore the virtual hard drive backup on a different node with different IP and host name.

  Hi guys,.
  I want to do the following.
  
  My reliable backup strategy is the virtual hard drive backup. The database is installed on a virtual particulay machine (node). Now, I do not take the backup of the DBF files or control files or files from archive.
  I rely on the virtual hard disk backup. It takes the entire Virtual Machine backup. Now, I wanted to restore this virtual hard drive backup to a different node with different IP and host name.
  But before I start the database, there are some things I need to do.
  As change address IP address and the hostname registered with the database installed and its services.
  
  Please guide me through the steps on how to perform the activity.
  
  Concerning
  Lam...
  SOA admin.

  I think that the whole operating system will be restored in a new virtual machine... I have it... The changes will have to be done in the file listener.ora (hostname or IPADDRESS and also PORT NO in case you want another port as the existing one). Once you have made the changes that you have to bounce the listener, I mean stop and start the listener... I don't think that any other changes are needed... Make sure that the same need for entries (from the listener) to be included in the TNSNAMES file. ORA file both client-side... The tns service is used to connect to the remote database server (from the demand side or whatever source you used to connect to the database server)... I just think that the change to do... Hope its clear... Please try...

• Lenovo G580 - menu to start cannot find CD/DVD, HARD drive

  Hello everyone

  I have a little trouble with this laptop lenovo G580, which cannot start.

  Problem: HARD and CD/DVD drive is visible in the tap in the bios info, but they are not visible in the faucet of the boot, only an IP4 and IP6 EFI network are visible.

  I tried to change the HARD disk first to ensure if she would do anything, but did not work, so I spent back.

  But I've never seen this kind of problem before, so I really have no idea what to do.

  The version of the bios installed is V9.01 I hope that if someone has an idea that could help solve this problem.

  -Mootix-

  It seems ok I solved my problem, I will report how and what I have done, so anyone with the same problem can try this.

  OK, so apparently the Bios have been installing only the boot devices to reqister who had something to do with Windows 8, which means that the hard drive that was completely empty of any data, had nothing to do with Windows 8 and therefor can not be started with the current Bios settings.

  1. open the safety valve and turn off temp only "secure startup.

  2. go to the tap of Boot and change 'Boot mode' for Legacy Support UEFI.

  3. in the tap water Boot changes 'Boot prio' "first Legacy.

  4 reboot and press F2 and verify tap boot to the disk under "Boot device prio.

  Fact

  I think that since the drive HARD have Win8 installed it will not display as boot device unless it is on Legacy Support.

  because UEFI on the G580 only supports the HARD disk with a Win8 installed operating system.

  Now, I should be able to reinstall Win 8 - 8.1 on the HARD drive.

• Cannot delete a virtual hard disk

  Hello!

  I use Fusion - 5.0.2 and you cannot delete a virtual disk. As you can see from the screenshots, the VM (called backup) IS off and there is NO snapshots...

  

  ... and the virtual machine has no "restrictions".

  

  The button "Remove Hard Drive" is still just gray.

  Anyone know why I can't remove VHDs from Fusion?

• Cannot open 2 Virtual Machines at the same time to access the same database

  People,
  
  Hello.
  I'm installing RAC Oracle Database 11 g 2 system with 2 Virtual Machines (rac1 and rac2) on top 3 VMPlayer.
  
  The VM rac1 and rac2 when one of them is stopped.
  Their locations are F:\VM_RAC\rac1 and F:\VM_RAC\rac2.
  
  
  I opened rac1 rac2 is running. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  While rac1 running, I opened rac2. But this error message appears:
  
  Error: "cannot open F:\VM_RAC\sharerac\asm1.vmdk drive or one instant records, that depends. Reason: cannot lock the file. »
  
  
  2 error messages are the same. This means that I can not open 2and rac1 rac2 VMs at the same time. When we run RAC system, must open 2 "machines" or machines to more than 2 at the same time, so that all machines can access the same database server.
  
  My question is:
  
  Can all folk tell me how have rac1 and rac2 run at the same time?
  
  Thank you.

  Unfortunately no, Oracle RAC requires that all nodes can visit the same set of shared disks. If your database resides within the DSO, each instance ASM (one per node) must also see the same set of disks to ASM diskgroup containing the data of the database files.
