• Re format ntfs drive?

  Hi all

  I found a 320 GB NTFS drive usb3 "Bipra' mark on amazon for £24.  Sounds like all the rest and mac to format those are double this price or usb2 only. They get good reviews, as they seem to contain some Seagate drives.  Can I get this one and just re - format? That would save me quite a quid.  As Mac can't read the NTFS (apparently) can they still reformat them?

  Mac can read NTFS disks but impossible, without software, to write about them. Yes, you can use disk utility to reformat the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. If you intend to drive must be bootable OS x, you will also need to partition (a single partition is very well) by using the GUID partition scheme.

• Since I compressed my NTFS drive last week, all the text of my files names are in blue. Is there a reason for this?

  Original title: file names have turned to the Blues

  file names have turned to the bruises on my dell hybrid. I compressed my NTFS drive week last to create more space and since then, all the names of txt on my files are now blue. is there a reason for this?

  Hello JordanMcGinn,

  Please see the link below regarding this issue.

  File changed police in blue: it's normal - blue means that the file is compressed

• NTFS drive got converted to RAW disk

  My NTFS driver converted to RAW and I can't access it, would you please help?

  How I can access without lossing my data!

  Hello Mohamed,

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  The NTFS file system provides the best performance and security for data on hard disks and partitions or volumes that

  the FAT file system used in some earlier versions of Windows.

  Raw disk is used to designate a hard disk access to a raw, binary level, under data from partition level and using file system in the MBR.

  I suggest you to refer to this article and check if it helps.
  Reference:
  Convert a hard disk or partition to NTFS format
  http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows/convert-hard-disk-partition-NTFS-format#1TC=Windows-7

  Important notes:
  After you convert a partition to the NTFS format, you cannot convert it back. If you want to reuse FAT filesystem on the partition, you will need to reformat the partition, which erases all data on it.

  Some earlier versions of Windows cannot read data on local NTFS partitions. If you need to use an earlier version of Windows to access a partition on the computer, do not convert it to NTFS.

  Although the risk of corruption or loss of data during a conversion is minimal, you must back up all data on the partition before you begin.

  I hope this information helps.

  Please let us know if you need more help.

  Thank you

• Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive? If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

  Install Windows 8 automatically formats the hard drive?  If this isn't the case, I should format it FAT or NTFS drive before installing Win/8?

  No, this isn't format the hard drive, what's done is put your existing version of Windows in a folder called "windows.old", it indeed erases old files of version and folders, leaving free space on the existing partition "NTFS" (formerly ocupied by your previous version of windows) in which is installed Windows 8.

  And "NTFS" is the only file system that supports Windows 8.

• RAID and hard drive

  I am about to install ESX on a HP DL380 4i. I have 6 300 GB hard drives. I won't attach to any SAN.

  I'm trying to figure out how to tap my hard drives to maximize space with fault tolerance. I try to avoid the loss of 2 300 GB drives for my install ESX (RAID 0) and the rest of the disks for storage.

  I thought about using a USB device, but this system will be used by other people, so I wanted something more permanent and also feared that the device USB would be lost so a little do not want to engage in this way.

  Looking for ideas on how I have to configure my hard drives.

  Why lose readers at all?

  6 x 300 GB in a RAID5 configuration = 1500GO.

  Install ESXi, or install it on a USB key.

  And certainly do not use RAID 0.

• RDM and NTFS permissions

  Hey guys. Quick question about the RDM and NTFS permissions. I have a server of physical file with a 1 TB lun presented to her. I need to convert this machine to a virtual machine. I know I can set the lun existing to the virtual machine as RDM (virtual) and retain the benefits that ESX provides, that is to say, vMotion. I tested and it works fine. However, I have 2 questions about this configuration:

  1. Actions/NTFS permissions will be still intact after I have present the lun ROW for the operating system called? Man, I sure hope that if. This test was not so easy. Anyone can check it by experience?

  2. Any way to hide the lun ROW of the Wizard "add storage? When present you a lun to a host ESX group and use as RDM, it still shows upwards in the wizard when I try to add storage. Now, I know that I can keep track of the ID lun that prevent me from potentially selecting and formatting as VMFS... but my co-workers my not be aware. My point is, I wouldn't see it kill himself accidentally. Am I the only person annoyed with this?

  Any help is most appreciated, as always. Thank you.

  If logic unit number is defined as a ROW, add storage won't be able to use it, or even see. It does not to my RDM.

• Intel VT - d and hard drives?

  Hi, I have a question for intel vt - d, so if I have a drive

  controller with 2 attached and each drive with multiple partitions then can

  I attribute one of the partitions on one disk to a virtual machine and another

  partition on the same disk on another virtual machine or the vt - d works at the disk level

  rather than partition level, or work on the device level which means that when a card has been assigned, no matter how many ports it has him assigned to a VM only?

  Thanks in advance!

• DS3300 Design - RAID and logical drive configuration

  Hello

  I'm setting up a dual controller DS3300 with VMWare ESX 3.5 hosts x 2 connection using the iSCSI Software initiator.  I have a question about setting up the optimal training.  What I read I should set up several logical drives, and then assign each player owner of another favorite controller logic.  I have 12 300 GB drives, so I thought I would create a RAID5 11 with 1 spare drive Bay.  I would create logical units of 4 x size equal and each of the 4 controllers will then assign that traffic is spread in the controllers for optimal performance.

  A1 and B2 to go to a different physical switch (vlan) and B1, A2 go to another.  Each ESX Server has 2 vswitches each with a single network adapter with each going to a different physical switch.

  Can anyone tell if the RAID and the design logical drive is the best way to go for a flow optimal iSCSI?  I'm not asking about this type of raid to use - I don't need a raid 1/0 or a mixture of performance - I'm afraid only for best performance of iSCSI for RAID5.  Can I create several RAID5 arrays and logical drives or simply several logical drives?

  Thank you

  Ian

  If you have 2 controllers in your storage space then the best config (with 12 disks) must be set up 2 bays of R5 - each of them has its owner controller.

  Included logical readers will have the same owner under the parent array controller. Logical readers could be about 300-500 GB on the size. A big R5 isn't the best practice because of the likelihood of the failure of the double disc (for example during the time of reconstruction). A spare part is a must here.

  On Esx site I would keep everything simple - 2 network cards, a vmkernel iscsi port. More complexity you will get no more flow (with storage).

  Just for notice - DS3000 series gives quite more random ios on R10 in comparison to the R5.

• iCloud and iCloud drive

  Can someone tell me what exactly the difference between iCloud and iCloud drive.

  On both you can store files, records and photos, but why use one over the other, or maybe both.

  Thank you for answering,

  Marja

  (Sort of) See the difference is to connect to https://www.icloud.com

  ICloud is not in iCloud drive information includes Mail, Contacts, calendar, Photos, Notes, reminders, etc. iCloud Drive is a separate app or a section in iCloud.

  It is possible to transfer the photos to iCloud by car, but they won't be in the Photos app iCloud.com and not integral to the Photos on your Mac or iPhone app. To do this, you do not want to use iCloud photo library: iCloud photo library - Apple Support

  If you save any iOS (iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch) devices that are part of iCloud, but is not available by connecting to https://www.icloud.com/

  For me, this isn't a case of 'one on one' about iCloud and iCloud Drive, it's both.

• A1103 new Ram and HARD drive will not start

  Hello.

  I have a Mac mini A1103. When I got there the folder flashing with question mark. I got a macbook earlier where this problem was solved by installing a new hard drive. so I ordered a new 160 GB IDE 2.5 "5400 RPM and 1 GB Corsair Valueselect DDR1 333 MHz hoping that this will help me get the mini running and preforming a little better with 512 MB of Ram.

  When I boot the mini after swapping ram and hard drive I always see the same flashing folder. I can reset the NVRAM Boot, enter diskmode target? (I think) and the Boot Manager.

  When I enter the Boot Manager I can see the following screen

  

  a few times I get to this screen for Open Firmware screen where I can use certain commands such as vram-reset reset-all rebot and so, but sometimes I'm just stuck on this screen.

  Anyone have any suggestions on what is wrong and what I can try next? I do not have the boot original dvd but I have a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original) but I can't get botting from any of the devices.

  A Mac Mini A1103 has a G4 Power PC processor and cannot be greater than 10.5.8. Superior OSX versions require an Intel processor.

  In this statement "a usb bootable with IOS 10.6 and a dvd with IOS 10.6 (not original)" I think you mean OSX, not of iOS. You must obtain a copy of the original installation disc which was 10.3 or 10.4 or disk to upgrade to 10.4 or 10.5 full retail. Coverall A1103 all three 2005 models of the Mac Mini G4.

  You cannot use a grey disc unless it was delivered with your specific Mac.  Native gray disc with Macs and can not e used on the other model of disc.

  You can probably call Apple and order a copy of the original disks

• 23 - f270: RAM and hard drive one device?

  Hello

  I had recently a hard drive has failed/bad in my computer that was just out of warranty, so I took my computer to a computer repair man who said he could replace the old/bad disk with a new one.  This man didn't really hold up to the end of his contract, and now I find myself in a dispute with him as he always has my HP PC and he gave me a lesser Dell as if to replace.  Now, I contacted the office busniness better for resolving this dispute.  But it is now trying to claim that he gave me the HP drive hard and RAM unit.  This man gave me was a rectangular metal box telling me that it was the old bad hard drive.  So what I need to know is are the hard drive and RAM in this a model room?  I need proof that if the RAM is not present, he was the one who pulled it and sold it.  They only gave me one of the components of the computer, and I would like to know if the RAM and hard drive are one or two pieces of sepearte?

  Thank you

  RAM and hard drive (HDD) are two different things. Your machine has 6 GB of RAM, which means it has 2 sticks, and 1 TB of HDD (1 unit). His record:

• I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

  I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

  I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.

• Satellite C660 - compatibility between motherboard and hard drive internal

  Hi, I have a problem with the compatibility between the internal (1 terabyte) hard drive and installing windows 7 pro.
  I broke my old internal hard drive (320 GB) and I bought the new hd (1 tb), but during the installation it says that w7 cannot be installed on this new hard drive.

  Can my pc motherboard (serial number: 3B071014k) support the new hard drive (serial number: wd10jpvx)?
  and if the answer is 'yes', how can I make it work?

  First of all the question has nothing to do with the motherboard and HARD drive compatibility.
  If the HARD drive is visible in the BIOS (first page), the HARD drive is supported by the BIOS and HARD disk controller.
  In the case where the drive HARD isn't recognized, you will need to replace this HARD drive with another. I guess the smaller size of the 2.5 SATA HDD THAT would be taken in charge (500 GB)

  However, in case the HARD disk is visible in the BIOS, you should be able to install Windows 7.
  Before starting the installation, you must format the HARD drive and should create the system partition.
  For this procedure, I recommend to use some tools such as partitions for example: GParted
  GParted is a freeware Linux tool.
  You can create a bootable USB key in order to start the device using GParted:
  http://gparted.sourceforge.NET/LiveCD.php

  Then, you should be able to format the HARD disk and create partitions.
