Change of name of hard disk

• Windows Boot Manager, I want to change the Configuration of hard disk

  I have a computer with two former 500 GB Hard Drives.  The "Legacy" operating system is installed on the first physical hard disk in the system and Windows 7 is installed on the second physical hard disk, they are the identical WD drives.  I bought a new Seagate Barracuda 1000 GB drive, I want to use in place of the mark.

  So currently I have:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-5, score 0: 500 GB Windows 7

  With the new player, I want to:

  SATA-0, score 0: Legacy 500 GB OS

  SATA-0, Partition 1: 500 GB Windows 7

  I have disk imaging software, able to copy both disks to the new partitions on the new disk.  What I want to know is how can ensure me that I continue to get the start menu to see the two operating systems.

  Of course, I will still have the old hard disks available, and I can always put them in.  It's just that the cloning process takes a long time, and I would like to have my procedure in advance.  The first time I have start the system with the 1 TB drive, it will not be a disk of 500 Go SATA-5, score 0: in the computer.  I don't know which files must be modified to search for Windows 7 in the new location.

  I shouldn't need to do a reinstall of windows.  I think I found the answer to what I was looking elsewhere.

  I remember that two years ago, when I set up the Dual boot system, I followed these instructions:

  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/8057-dual-boot-installation-Windows-7-XP.html

  When I did, I had a dual boot menu:

  -Old Version of Windows

  -Windows 7 Professional

  Of course I meant "Windows XP" rather than "earlier Version of Windows.  I searched and found that a tool exists to modify this menu.  I don't remember what they called the tool when I presented this request.  I was pretty sure that the tool would allow me to have the change of start menu where he sought the installation of Windows7.

  Today, I found the name of the tool, it is called BCDEDIT. EXE.  It allows you to safely edit the menu file, and startup locations resemble the old file boot.ini of Windows NT days.  Here's what the tool then generates on the command line.

• How to change the application installed HARD disk?

  My PC following setting:

  C: is for Window XP OS

  D: is installed application

  because the disc is not enough space and need to buy a new SATA III HARD disk after formatting under drive Z:

  I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:

  D: old drive will become Z: drive for backup

  Z: old disk will become D: drive for installed application, because many applications and installed adjustment use the D: drive for application, so I'd like to preserve the D: drive for application, but I get no idea on how to swap the disks.

  Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions

• Recovery Manager fails to restore the image after the changes made to the hard disk Partition

  Hi support forum.

  I use a HP dv7t quad ed. ive decided to partition my hard drive of 750G. While the partition is on progress, all of a sudden, the monitor turns off and had no picture. I think that, maybe, he had disappeared "sleep mode". I don't have no mode 'sleep'. I'm trying to scroll through the touch pad in the hope that the image will reappear again. but nothing happens. thinking that it is just the monitor was in mode 'sleep' and the hard drive still flashes, I still waited 45 minutes for the process to be finished and maybe it will just restart it self. After an hour of wating, power the laptop off and the power button flashes. I assumed, but in doubt that the partition has been completed, I press the power and it turned off. as I press the power button to turn it on, my computer does not start, and I knew that my computer it was damaged. Ive tried the 3 options to access the F11 recovery but nothing works.

  I hope you cud help me guys. TNX

• Script to get the capacity of HARD disks on a virtual computer

  I need to add a line to the script below which will get the additional HARD disks on the virtual machine. At the present time, its just by pulling the primary OS info.

  $VmInfo = ForEach ($Datacenter in (Get-Datacenter | Sort-Object -Property Name)) {
    ForEach ($Cluster in ($Datacenter | Get-Cluster | Sort-Object -Property Name)) { 
      ForEach ($VM in ($Cluster | Get-VM | Sort-Object -Property Name)) {
        ForEach ($HardDisk in ($VM | Get-HardDisk | Sort-Object -Property Name)) {
          "" | Select-Object -Property @{N="VM";E={$VM.Name}},
            @{N="Datacenter";E={$Datacenter.name}},
            @{N="Cluster";E={$Cluster.Name}},
            @{N="Hard Disk";E={$HardDisk.Name}},
            @{N="Disk Size MB";E={$HardDisk.CapacityKB/1024}},
            @{N="Datastore";E={$HardDisk.FileName.Split("]")[0].TrimStart("[")}},

        }
      }
    }
  }
  $VmInfo | Export-Csv -NoTypeInformation -UseCulture -Path "N:\Excel_Reports\VmInfo.csv"
  

  The RED line is the line that pulls a HARD drive, but I'm looking for enter all HARD DRIVES and the release info... I'm sure it's something simple, but I can't find the command

  Just realized that I pasted the script in plain text format, so no formatting was held...

  @{N="Disk Size MB";E={$HardDisk.CapacityKB/1024}},

• Portege A100: Change the new HARD disk in slave mode?

  Hello, I have a portege a100 laptop, I want to buy a Dvd for my laptop burner and one in mind, even if I need to put my hard drive in slave mode first, that the dvd drive is set as master.
  My hard drive model is MK1032GAX, could someone tell me that it is possible to do so, before buying the dvd burner to 100%.

  Hello

  To my knowledge it s is not possible. The technology of the laptop is different, and you can't compare it with the desktop PC.
  As far as I know, the settings are fixed and you cannot change it. I think that the HARD disk controller is set master and you need to buy a compatible CD/DVD player.
  Player settings are different and the Toshiba service partner can give you more details about compatible CD/DVD players.

  I have a Tecra A9 in need of resettlement, what I like to do for me.
  I have a very good password on the HARD disk which I do not wish to give. So I want to change it or remove it completely.

  Please someone, how do I do? In the BIOS, I don't see that it has been defined, but all what I try, I can not change or get rid of it.

  Maybe I should add that since the original installation of the PC it was years ago and I don't remember not the 'Administrator' password.

  Everything is under control. I know the 'controller' password and have already successfully removed the BIOS password. Smart TPM is disabled.

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  Hello.

  (1) you should have no problem with the update of the system after the upgrade of your player.

  (2) change the Player won't empty your warranty as long as you don't cause damage by improper installation.

  the player is called a "self-service CRU" (CRUS by). If you look at the hardware maintenance manual pg98 (http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.page?DocID=UM006394), you will see that the disk is not #5 in the exploded view. a page to the bottom, you will see a single * in the RAW Id column for the items in the list #5. Scroll to pg97 and you will see the definition of a "CRU" self-service ".

  HTH a little.
