Creating a Machine Vurtial leave a dead laptop.
My laptop is dead and is not repairable. The hard drive is fine and can copy all my files off. But I would like to convert it to the virtual machine at, I could find a few settings that I had not documented. If the laptop worked, I was able to P2V Converter, but everything I have Hare by car. Standalone converter doesn't seem to work with only one hard disk. Is the documentation now how to create a VMDK to training and then make a boot on a virtual computer drive?
everything I have VMware Workstation 9 and Standalone converter.
Thank you
Guessed if someone else has this problem.
First put the drive in a working system.
Use Winimage (http://www.winimage.com/)
Create a physical disk virtual hard disc (disc--> disc creation form virtual disk) (can use virtual PC at this stage)
Then convert VHD to VMDK
http://www.mydigitallife.info/how-to-convert-and-import-VHD-to-VMDK-VMware/
then create a new Virtual Machine from the vmdk
I had to reactivate windows but after that he found all the drivers and worked as usual.

I got a mini iPad 2 32 GB as a gift to replace a dead laptop but I'm not at all familiar with the product. Can I create and save word documents a presentations on a flashdrive off iPad mini?
You can create word documents and powerpoint presentations, but you cannot save them directly on a normal USB.
Microsoft made a version of office for iPad, you can find it in the App Store. Here is a link:

PowerPoint

There are usb drives that work with iPads, and you can save documents to those who use their own applications.

the upgrade of my hard drive on an hp laptop. How to create a windows cd? KeyCode on laptop wallpaper
You n "t do it this way.
You use cloning software to clone your existing to the new disk drive. For portable computers, you will need to purchase an external hard drive enclosure which is (a) compatible with your drive (SATA or PATA) interface and (b) compatible with external connections on your laptop (for example, USB, FireWire, eSata). Do not spend a lot of money for this speaker ($ 10-$ 20).
If your new hard drive Western Digital, you can get the free cloning (a 'special' version of Acronis True Image) of WD software (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list and is in no particular order):
Acronis True Image Home 11
EASEUS ToDo Backup
Paragon Drive Copy or Partition Manager Personal
Casper
Norton GhostThe process is simple:
- Install the software on your laptop for cloning
- RTFM (do not skip this step)
- Install the new drive in the external case
- Connect new player to the computer
- Clone original disc on new drive
- Stop
- Unplug the external computer case
- Exchange records (original for external disk) and the new laptop drive
- Reboot and enjoy your new drive.
When you know that the cloning operation was successful, format the old drive, which is now in the external case and use it for backup of data.

How to prevent limited users to create virtual machines?
Hi all;
Is it possible to prevent standard users to create Virtual Machines in Microsoft Windows environment?
Thank you
Here's the problem I see... as long as the user has the ability to run VMware Workstation, you can't stop creating a VM since everything it takes, it's a TextEditor and a live ISO Image and the other can create a configuration manually, .vmx file that it points to the ISO Image and then double click on the manually created configuration .vmx file and its place and running. Of course not all users would go to the trouble to create the .vmx file manually but there are scripts on the Internet that do and users have other ways too.
If you don't have the appropriate infrastructure to control your users then monitor their activities and let them know him will be fired if they contravene the regulations.

Script to create virtual machines fails when you try to add the disk to the cluster data store
Hello
Attached is the script that I used to create virtual machines and it works very well when virtual machines are created to warehouses of unique data, but do not have clustered data warehouses. I think that the reason is that it creates the virtual machine through the esx host (who does not know the cluter) and not via vCenter (who knows about it). Unfortunately I do not know how to fix.
Thank you
Astra
Looks like he needs a store of data for this parameter object. So we need to do a get Datastore cluster I can try to test tomorrow, but try this:
If ($datastore1 - only 'none') {}
$drscluster = get-DatastoreCluster $datastore1
$vmadddsk = new-disk-hard - VM $gstname CapacityKB - $datastore1size - data $drscluster store
}

Create a Machine 'clean '... Install Thinapp well?
Hi new to the thinapp SW and test now for internal... Just need some clarification. I understand that I should create thin applications on a clean machine base, produces better use VM to create this machine and take a snapshot in order to return to the machine clean. It's logical.
Im confused on the subject, it is what I have to constantly reinstall "VM Thinapp" after I restored the machine clean? Or can I install Thinapp VM based on it then take the snapshot and VM Thinapp is part of the clean machine?
Just a little confusing on best practices for implementing machine clean and who need to use Thinapp SW
You can run the pre-scan of ThinApp on a clean machine and then take a snapshot of the virtual machine. When you restore the snapshot, capture Setup is ready to install the application to continue postscan. In this way, save you time. Personally, I do this on my VM

For the first time, I tried to virtualize my machine using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. The destination machine has VMware Player installed 3.1.4, so I chose, as a destination having VMware 4.0.x instead of VMware 3.0.x as 3.1.4 overflows 3.0.x. The newly created virtual machine does not under VMware 3.1.4. Is there anyway out of this except can create an another VM using VMware player 3.0.x as the destination machine? Thank you.
Then, you should be able to simply create a (empty) virtual machine with VMware Player 3.x and then just remove the blank virtual hard drive (hard files) and replace it with the one created with VMware vCenter Converter.

creating virtual machines off templates in Lab Manager
Hello
I am using vCenter Lab Manager 4.0.
I have created several models of machine virtual Windows.
Now, I would like to create virtual machines on these models.
Am I able to do it. ?
If so, how can I achieve that. ?
I checked in the guide, but found no relevant info.
Maybe I'm missing something.
Please provide help. !!
Thank you.
Santos,
First of all, make sure that the model is published. Means published which are can be used as a virtual machine in the current organization. If you need to use it in another, make sure you share the model to the user / the appropriate organization.
2. go into your workspace: workspaces > hand
3. click on the button "new Configuraiton.
-Add virtual machines
-Click OK
4 deploy the configuration.

Battery goes dead laptop leaves to clean reboot
Yesssirreeeee! I use Vista Home Premium on a laptop Toshiba P200. Before yesterday, when the battery went completely dead, I could plug in and press the switch - and the machine would start me back where I was before with all my running programs.
Suddenly and without warning, now if the battery dead past and plugging in AC, the machine will start up just for Windows with all this not recorded at all.
Can someone point me for me what I would do so if the battery is dead, and to power once again, my laptop will bring me up to where I was before. Help will be appreciated. Thank you!
Looks like your battery is gradually degrading / failing to the point where it cannot declare reliable details about the support available in Windows. Of course, a new battery should solve the problem. If you want to continue with the current farm, you do not want to set a higher value for the warning events and critics associated with limited autonomy. See this for more details:

How can I create system recovery disc for a new laptop with windows 7 Home Premium?
I just bought my daughter a new Toshiba Satellite with Windows 7 Home Premium laptop last night. The laptop came with a Windows restore disk. How to create a set of boot from the DVD then when the system fails, or I need a new facility? I created a system repair disc and two-disc Image recovery. Is this enough to fully restore Windows 7 to the initial state of machines? (Technology at best buy assured me that it was nothing that I was able to do and that they would do for me for $70.00.)
In short: my Dell came with a system recovery disk which was very convenient. I would like to reproduce this convenience with Windows 7. Any help appreciated.
Jim
You will need to follow the manufacturers directions to create the recovery media. Looks like you've done that, but Toshiba could only say with certainty. I recommend that you contact their customer service.
