Convert.exe works with the portable USB drives?

Back when helping people spend 98 or ME to XP, there is a utility called convert.exe which could convert not destructive HDD FAT32 to NTFS.

This utility will work with a hard disk of laptop USB instead of an IDE drive? Some utilities are skittish about the material, and he did for years I've used this utility. I need to convert a portable hard drive 320 GB in NTFS for a virtual machine to run with VMware Player for a night school class, and I would rather not delete it if I have to.

SlickRCBDsalvation,

Yes, it is possible to convert the file system fat32 of NTFS for a USB hard drive.

Reference:

Warning: formatting a volume will destroy all data on the partition. Be sure to back up any data you want to save before you begin.

Thank you, and in what concerns:

  • Recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive?

    Hello, everyone.

    I have a laptop HP (pavilion dv7-1245dx) and the hard drive is dead. I had never gotten to burn my recovery disks, so I ordered new ones from HP. When I installed the new hard drive and popped in the disk to reinstall the operating system, it gave me the error message:

    "This PC is not supported by the system recovery discs. You can continue to recover this system with these discs. »

    Error code: 0100-30 FC-3602-3603

    The original hard drive was a Hitachi, 320 GB SATA

    The new hard drive is a WD 500 GB SATA

    Any assistance anyone can give would be great. :]

    Thank you for your time,

    EDIT: Trying to recover a Vista operating system

    For anyone who has the same problem, I found a solution. I cloned the original hard drive using the Clonezilla fallback option. After using Clonezilla to image on the new hard disk, the partition which held that most of the data of the laptop is not mountable, however the partition containing the restore partition was a perfect copy. I turned on the computer, hit escape to access the menu (for a list of options such as boot order, etc, which included an option for recovery), and then choose recovery option. While the recovery discs, I received from HP refused to work with the new hard drive, the Vista restored cloned recovery partition without flaw.

  • Satellite L30: CD player does not work with the new HARD drive

    Hello

    Just bought a new drive to HARD drive of 250 GB to transform my L30-115 has a home server.

    My problem is when both the new HARD disk drive DVD/CD-RW drive of origin are inserted into L30, the computer crashes and I can not even get into the BIOS (I have the latest edition).

    However, when I disconnect the CD player, system boots fine in a system of operating "plain" (command-line only) - BIOS recognizes very well and everything is fine. Idem: as I disconnect the HARD drive and connect the CD player, I am able to work (for example with a live linux system).

    The question is: * how to install a Windows operating system to a new HARD disk drive *? There is no option to boot from USB. What else can we do? I'm not going to invest more money into this old machine. I would like to install the Windows Home Server in there. There is no need to use the CD player later (all other operations will be performed by the network).

    Person not answering, so I'll do it.

    I was able to boot from USB external floppy drive, so the solution is to boot from external CD drive and install the system.

    It is not an exact solution, because the internal optical drive must be removed, so I'm looking forward to see updates to the BIOS level or other solutions for Toshiba.

  • Agilent 6812 B power cord does not work with the class IVI driver

    I try to use a power source Agilent 6812 B with class IVI DISARM on RS232 driver.  I have everything set up NI Max but I can't by the initialization routine.  I tried in LabView and LabWindows and nor will not work.

    I decided to follow the lines RS232 RX/TX and I see that he is sending the "* IDN?" command and it times out before receiving a response.  Unfortunately, it does not send the Terminal newline at the end of the string.  I can cross NI MAX and send "* IDN? \n' and he responds with the ID very well.

    So my question is, would be possible that the IVI specific driver is not written correctly to send a jump as an end of line character or do I need to configure the Compote to send this character separately?  The IVI driver has been downloaded from instrumement network driver of NOR and it says it is compatible with the 6812B, but has been tested with 6813B.


  • Latency huge while working with the NI USB-6521

    Hello

    My testbend mounting is illustrated on Fig. 1, Fig. 2.

    Here are its features:

    • ' Simulate Signal ' block generates a Sawtooth signal with adjustable parameters - ampl, freq, offset of phase
    • the release of "simulate Signal" connected the driver to exit AO0 (block "USB-6521 AO0") of the device USB-6521
    • AO0 output is wired for entry AI0 of the device USB-6521
    • the output of the driver of the AI0 (block "USB-6521 AI0") entry is wired on waveform graph (blue line) and the entrance to the driver "USB-6521 AO0" (red line)

    Play with testbend do I saw 2 strange phenomena:

    • When I change some settings sawtooth ( ampl, freq, offset) latency is approximately 15 seconds
    • While the signal generated by "Simulate Signal" is perfect Sawtooth, out of "USB-6521 AO0" is not perfect... in other words, its shape is not always follow the source form (I also order by oscilloscope).

    Any comments welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    Pavel

    Fig. 1

    Fig. 2

    It is not supposed to be instantaneous. If you understood the basic arithmetic, you know that it takes 10 milliseconds to acquire and display the signal - that's what you're showing.

    To view several times, you will need to acquire more samples. Again, this is only basic arithmetic.

  • Printers HP Laserjet Pro M1130/M1210 MFP series will work with the universal PCL5 driver?

    I have this model in network and it works very well with the driver in case of Windows host-based (Server 2003). I have an ERP that needs the printer to use a PCL5 driver. If I try to print anything using the PCL5 it will not print a Windows test page, although if I stop print I see work in the print queue. When I take the break on the slopes of work and for all purposes useful, looks like it has been sent to the printer, but the page is not printed.

    Anyone tried this before?

    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for your quick response! That clears up that then!

    Thanks again.

  • Windows 8 - recovery disks do not work with the new hard drive

    My HDD had major errors of io only 1 month laptop warranty. I can't clone the original disc, its dead. I'm relatively new to Win8 but I bought the factory HP recovery disks for my model and have tried repeatedly to restore the OS win8 without success even after support technical advice ofHP and several friends with more experience than me (and I got an A + cert for more than a decade)-I have no idea why he keeps fails. I ordered another set of discs and tried another new hard drive. The log shows all the hardware in the way and a sysprep not found error at the end. What Miss me?

    Problem solved! After another half-dozen recovery more attempts and lose more money on a new HP certified hard drive with the correct part number, I decided to give up Windows 8 and turn this laptop in a Hackintosh, I now on Mac OS X!  Microsoft has gone too far now, only not with the security of windows, instead of trying to make sure they get every penny they can from each PC running windows. His self defeat really. Those who cannot or do not want to pay the cost will simply find an alternative. I'm just tired of the headaches and of constantly having to spend my precious time proving that I have a valid OS license for every computer that I've updated or repair. Forcing people to buy the same item several times is aggravating and false. Sorry, just fan frustration.

  • recovery disc will work with the new hard drive

    I have a HP Pavilion dm4. My hard drive died so I installed a new hard drive. The original operating system installed on the computer is Windows 7. I don't have a Windows 7 disc with the computer. If I order the Windows 7 HP recovery disk, it will install Windows 7 on my new hard drive? I got the info from COA. Thanks for any help you can provide.

    If the new hard drive is having even or a larger size than the old, recovery disks will reinstall the factory OS on your new drive.

  • Work with the NI USB-6353

    Hello, everyone!

    I m using USB 6251 OEM for more than two years without major problems, but my applications are increasingly complex and OR start offering NI USB 6353, with many improvements, mainly on the transfer speed.

         My problem is: using 6251 I run an application that generates analog data with 100KS/channel (2 channels) and generates a digital stream data with 1MHz, 8 bits wide. Both tasks are Nsamples mode, without regeneration and can´t stop or loose data while running. It works really fine on 6251. On labview, just changing the necessary (using Daq Assisant to replace tasks) to use 6353 an error message appear on screen:

    "Overflow memory on-board unit. Due to the limitations of system and/or the bandwidth of the bus, the driver could not write data to the device fast enough to track the rate of output of the device. Reduce your sampling rate, or reduce the number of programs that your computer runs at the same time. »

    If 6353 is faster than 6251 why this error just on 6353? 6353 is worse than 6251 inthis?

    Cristiano

    Hi André,.

    I m waiting for a work around to fix this bug. In my application, I use this way to generate waveforms for more control. The application control how many cycles is generated on each stage, based on digital input, digital output stream is also controlled. In this way is really important have these two tasks running at the same time. We have the same tasks on 6251 and we decided to migrate to 6353 because it has more channels and improvements on communication.

    Thanks for everything and I m waiting for a report to correct this bug.

    I have successfully installed the driver of Windows 8 (64 bit) full of features.  Printer copy, scan, fax and print from the computer.  However, I'm no longer able to print in grayscale, select a print quality (fast draft, project, etc.) and choose the paper type on the printer menu shortcuts in the printing preferences.

    In the box "what do I want?" and choose fast/economical printing, the selections above will appear in the list of options, but when you go to select an option in the drop-down lists that can empty al.

    You probably work with a more basic driver in Windows 8, and this is why you are not able to use these features. I would check to see if there is another driver that will allow you to use the. Here's a message written by a colleague who deals with how you can do this:
