Error "Cannot open disc" on the bootcamp partition.

I have Windows XP Pro SP3 Ultimate Edition installed on a partition on my Macbook bootcamp.  When I try to open it with Fusion, after I entered my password, I get the error "cannot open disc" / Users/DBM/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. "." "Reason: the specified file is not a virtual disk."

Does anyone know what I need to do to get it working?

There is not the OS as "Windows XP Pro SP3 Ultimate Edition"!

When I try to open it with Fusion, after I entered my password, I get the error "cannot open disc" / Users/DBM/Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Machines virtuelles/Camp/%2Fdev%2Fdisk0/Boot Boot Camp partition.vmwarevm/Boot Camp partition.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.

Note: These steps assume that you have a default Apple installation of Windows and a VMware Fusion Boot Camp Virtual Machine default partition and if you changed the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine to add additional hard disks to be virtual or RAW disk then do not use these instructions unless you backup the Boot Camp partition the Virtual Machine package first.

1. If the merger is open, close it.

2. in a Terminal (/ Applications/Utilities/Terminal) copy and paste command, as the following and then press Enter and it will remove the Boot Camp Virtual Machine meta-data partition. Note: This does not affect the Boot Camp partition to install Windows. Also be sure that you copy the entire command below "rm" line at the beginning of the "(quote) after the p in the Camp of. "

RM - dfr "/Users/$ the specified item was not found./Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/Virtual Machines / Boot Camp."

3. start Fusion (/ Applications/VMware Fusion.app) and select the Boot Camp partition on the library of the Virtual Machine window, and then click the run button.

Notes: Then, an authentication dialog box appears. "VMware Fusion requires that you type your password." Enter your name and password, and then click OK. (It is necessary to remove the Boot Camp for the merge partition to access it directly).

Then, we should see a Boot Camp partition message stating "VMware Fusion prepares your Boot Camp partition to run as a virtual machine. This may take a few minutes. This occurs once. »

When the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine starts for the first time after this VMware Tools may want or will install/update and restart the virtual partition Boot Camp Machine.

    Hello

    Was the HP works well before game console? If Yes, then do you remember any hardware/software changes, after which the problem started?

    Method 1: I would say you put the computer to boot and then check if the problem is caused by any third-party application.

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

  • Error message"the file is maybe damaged or corrupted 1610153464 / also cannot open projects in the background 26: 142

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help me.

    I use AE CC/Windows 7 on a Dell, 32 GB of RAM, 64-bit op system, processor: Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU x 5670 @ 2.93 Ghz 2.93 Ghz (2 CPUs).

    So far I had worked on many projects with no problems and then a few weeks ago, project crashing non-stop. The problem has been resolved when I got rid of all the MP3s and diverted to RAM. Once again, it was a problem that I had not in the past and I don't remember changing anything whatsoever.

    Now, it seems that it is impossible for me to export/rendering a project in a Quick time or same AVI file. If its quick time, I get this message: unable to make failure of After Effects error one module output. The file may be damaged or corrupted -1610153464 and if I am trying to export with AVI I get this message: cannot open projects in the background AE 26: 142)

    What is happening with the various projects.

    I have read the forums on hearing that the problem may be a Bug with quicktime and H.264? I never had a problem with it before, but even once when I try to export AVI I get this error message:

    Cannot open projects in the background AE

    I have a feeling that it is associated with quick time. I uninstalled and reinstalled QT, but still not the problem. It will open the old QT files without problem. I tried to download an update of the correction of a bug as a proposed post but I think I have the final reason why it did not work.

    This project has a couple of quick media files H.264. Do I need to convert? They are the cause of all this?

    I'm sorry, I really tried to seek answers in the forums before contacting you here, but I can't find a reason for all this mess, which again appeared a few weeks without any problems for months... If someone can point out an area where I can start looking, I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance.

    QuickTime H.264 is terrible. Do not use it.

    Use the AVI file, you have created in your Adobe Media Encoder and use the parameters of H.264 there.

    We also have the database version 10.2.0.4 that the spfile even uses everyday cold backup of the database.

    also, I put the 777 permission to the file.

    OK, I guess there will be corruption of the SPFILE as if edited manually or in any other cases too.

    You have a backup of SPFILE? backup of the file PFILE or?

    then starting using this SPFILE, if any backup then start with PFILE and then create SPFILE from PFILE.

    Otherwise, you can copy the contnets of the parameters of the alert log file initialization and paste in the editor and the instance of starutp.

    These are the options.

  • Error "Cannot read disc" after nc4200 replacement hard drive

    Hi all

    I read through the postings but did not see an exact match for the issue I'm having.

    My 5 year old needed nc4200 finally a replacement hard drive.  I bought a new 120 GB ATA-6 WD Scorpio Blue 40 GB ATA-7 Toshiba plant.  I was able to clean up a few errors on the old disk and the Partition Magic 8.0 successfully used to copy all the data in a single primary partition on the new 120 GB drive using all available space.

    I started with success the drive on the Windows desktop using a separate post of full PC.  When I inserted the new, WD drive in my nc4200 however I got an error "cannot read disc" immediately after the MESSAGE.  The BIOS is a short wee on tests of diagnostic and other information on the hard drive, but I ran with success a test drive in the menu of the BIOS with the net results.

    I have advanced and updated the BIOS to version F.0F thinking there may be some 1024 cylinders deliver or other incompatibility big disk, but this new version also shows the error of reading.  At this point, I'm stumped.  Why this new boot in my desktop PC drive but fail in my nc4200?  What do I have to use some tools HP blessed to make this readable disk?

    Thanks in advance!

    Well, I guess you can call this one resolved.  I sent the WD Scorpio Blue 120 GB drive (model WD1200BEVE) and ordered a WD Scorpio Blue 80 GB (model WD800BEVE) instead.  I cloned my old Toshiba 50 GB 5400 RPM (model MK6026GAX) with Acronis True Image WD Edition.  I installed the new drive in my nc4200 and pulled upward on the first try!

    I'm still not sure why the 120 GB didn't work.  The only thing I noticed is that the done 120 GB one noise rattling and the 80 GB is not then maybe the drive was defective.  I'll never know however, if it was the drive or the size of the drive, that was the question, but I hope that this info will be useful to someone else looking to exchange a HD of aging in a nc4200.

  • Remove OSX and keep only the bootcamp partition

    Hi all

    After one year, I noticed I never use OSX and I only use Windows on the bootcamp partition.

    1. is it safe to remove the OSX partition so I have more room for the bootcamp partition?

    2. If I never need OSX once again, I could reinstall?

    Thank you

    Gert

    1. it is safe to do so. Your Mac will not stop doing, worry not. However, you will not receive any new firmware update, so I would advise you to keep the OS x on a small partition at least.

    2. you can reinstall OS X whenever you want with recovery of the Internet. To reinstall OS X, you must only press the control, Alt and R keys during start up your Mac, but you need to format the disc first.

    The following steps, which are displayed on the RIM support will work; However, I had to do it another way.  In step 1, it says that ilxolkCompanion.fil is located in the path C:\Program Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector... However, when I searched this file, it was actually located in C:\Program Files\Blackberry\Connectors\MS Outlook Connector.  (Maybe it's because I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.5 w/o filling a clean uninstall... not too sure why)

    Once I located the file via the command prompt, I have not recorded in accordance with the instructions of step 1.  I then followed step 2 exactly Word for Word... and VOILA!  I have now Version 4.5, working with MS Outlook 2007
