• Pavilion dv6t-7000 failed to create a virtual hard drive for a dual boot Windows 7 / windows 8

  Hi, I just bought this system, a Hp Pavilion dv6t-7000, Enterntainment CTO notebook PC.  I want to take the amount of space between the C drive and create a virtual hard disk.

  Disk 0 is severed as follows:

  System:

  199 MB NTFS; Primary partition, Active system

  C: 678.60 GB NTFS; Boot, page file, crash dump, primary Partition

  D recovery: 21,53 Go NTFS; Healthy primary partition

  HP_tools 108 MB Fat 32; Healthy primary partition

  I would take 50 GB on C: and create a virtual hard disk to install windows 8 to have a dual boot system.  Can someone point me to a credible link that describes how do this or share the solution?  I tried a process described in TechRepublic where you create a virtual hard disk, and then start on Windows 8, shift f10 in an admin window and try to use diskpart select vdisk file that does not exist, that is to say, I'm not.

  Is there anything else I need to do?  I can do this via disk management?

  Thanks much for any info.

  I found this process is here.

  It seems similar to the process of the technology of the Republic, but it has a few key differences. Give the TechNet process a try it may work because of the extra steps, he has.

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part
  
  Partition ### Type Size Offset
  
  ------------- ---------------- ------- -------
  
  Partition 1 Reserved 128 MB 17 KB
  
  Partition 2 Primary 1267 GB 129 MB 
  
  DISKPART>
  

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• USB drive will not appear in the finder, but is OK in disk utility

  My "music backup" external USB 1 TB SSD showed in the Finder, until a few days ago, when he disappeared. I tried dismantling and Assembly of the command line. The said command-line editing is successful, but I still don't see the drive in Finder.

  If I go into disk utility "First aid" reports no problem. The drive is formatted for OS X.  If I right click and say "Open in the Finder" I can see all the folders and even drag in the sidebar where they work, even after a reboot. I can't see the drive at a higher level.

  How can I fix it? I guess a solution would be to create a folder called "Music disc" and then move all files on the disc in it and then put it on the sidebar, but it seems silly. How can I get my hard drive appears again in the finder.

  PS Si I use a third-party file manager, such as ordering a PRO, the USB drive is available for selection in the drop-down list of disks attached.

  Help!

  The Finder, choose utilities go to menu, open the Script Editor and run:

  the shell script ' chflags nohidden ' / Volumes/VolumeName /'.

  put the name of the drive where is VolumeName.

• No option to create recovery/usb drives

  I used my x 220 laptop for a year now and I am trying to port my OS on to a new drive mSATA I recently installed, but cannot create recovery disks to do this. I use rescue and recovery 4.5 for windows 7, but I don't see any option to create recovery/usb disks. I see only options to create a backup of my regular HARD drive and "create recovery media", which only seems to copy the service program of rescue and recovery, thinkvantage on the USB. I know that data that are installed on the USB key is not correct because it is about 500 MB, while I've read online that the complete recovery disk should take about 8.4 GB. I also know that I never created before recovery disks. Y at - it something that I'm missing is not let me create these disks?

  is there an easier way to do this?

  It's been a while since I've done it, but it worked in all situations where I tried: call Lenovo support and declare that you are unable to create recovery discs. There are several legitimate reasons to do this, for example from my experience...

  1. my X61s did not come with a DVD player and I don't have a DVD USB drive connected.

  2. my T60p reported all kinds of program errors when I tried to use the utility provided to create diskettes.

  3. an another ThinkPad (don't remember the model number) had a HD crash under warranty. Lenovo sent me a replacement HD but I had no recovery discs. (I had backups Acronis full score but Lenovo didn't and I didn't volunteer).

  4. one of my friends refused the license agreement for Windows on its ThinkPad. Instead, he decided to try Linux. After a few weeks of frustration with Linux, he decided to return to the Windows fold. Since he had not accepted the license to the first start agreement, it had been unable to create recovery discs.

  If your system is under warranty in my experience that Lenovo will send you a set of toll-free recovery disks. You may need to be a little persistent, but as long as you keep it clean, you should get them. Note however the last time I did that was at least 3 years ago so their policy may have changed. Also note that, in any case, my request is legitimate. YMMV.

• 250GB USB drive created I don't want cdrom drive

  Just installed a new hard drive of 250 GB USB. At startup it keeps creating this drive with some programs on it. I partitioned the drive, but the specific CD-ROM drive keeps coming back. As it is the first device to be seen from the usb drive, it allows me to connect the usb drive as a file server drive to my installed internet router that has a USB for purposes of files on it. This port does not recognize my drive, because of the cdrom drive presumingly generated. So I want to get rid of this cdrom, I don't use the one-touch backup features or protection of password for the drive anyway.

  Any ideas how to do this? Is a small partition on the Flash DRIVE or what?

  Hello

  I've never seen any USB HDD external who could create CD rom readers.
  Have you tried to format the first external HARD drive?
  I put t know exactly why it happens, but you suggested he keeps creating the CD rom drive with some programs on it at startup. Perhaps the preinstalled programs are the reason to create Cd rom.
  Try to remove these programs from the disk HARD (should first create a backup)

• Impossible to create recovery USB Drive After Win 8.1 pass on Lenovo Twist

  After the upgrade to Win 8.1 and try to create the recovery usb disk, I get this error:

  "We cannot create a disc of reccovery on this PC. Some required files are missing. To trouble shoot startup of your PC problems, use your installation window or media disc»

  Can some give me a clue as to how to solve this problem? THX.

  I contacted Lenovo who sent me a series of 4 recovery disks. These drives solved the problem, but it meant wiping the hard drive and reinstall the same thing from scratch. A new recovery partition is created and the disc reinstalled Win 8, which was to be updated. So to win 8.1 can be installed. Now, everything works as it should.

• Satellite-T230D fails to create a recovery media

  I have a T230D Satellite under Windows 7 Home Premium. When you try to create a recovery media using a USB key, the process begins by informing the Flash DRIVE will be formatted.
  At this point, it fails with the error code 040EAE-57-00000000. The USB key is left in an unusable state and cannot be reformatted by Windows.

  The HP USB Format utility is able to reformat the USB drive.
  Before you begin to create the recovery media application, I disabled VirusControl, firewall and Internet access to make sure that nothing got in the way. I tried this twice with the same result both times.

  Can you please tell us what USB device you are using?
  Have you tested with different keys memory USB flash?

• Backup failed with error 18: the backup drive is not found

  Hello

  My guard time capsule saying "Backup failed" for a few days and I cannot access the old backup files either (when I enter my time machine it shows 'today', which is kind of scary, although I know that my old files is still there). I tried many ways to trouble shoot this problem, but none of this has worked. In my opinion, it's more a network problem and I made sure I connect Wi - Fi even my time capsule created.

  So far I have tried:

  -Delete the files from my internet (com.apple.airport.preferences.plist; preferences.plist and NetworkInterfaces.plist, etc.) and restart my mac

  -Remove TimeMachine.plist and restart my mac

  -Hard reset of my time capsule. Went through all configurations with success but then still backup missed (I hear the running time capsule when it is by train).

  I share this time capsule with my wife and she has no problem with that.

  I can only think of a possible alternation I did which could cause this problem.

  Because of unstable WiFi problem, I had deleted

  com Apple.Airport.Preferences.plist

  com.Apple.Network.identification.plist

  NetworkInterfaces.plist

  Preferences.plist

  or other files and reboot my mac * before * I had this problem with time capsule.

  However, this is not the first time I do it, and it wasn't a problem before...

  This could be the reason? If so, how to restore the network settings?

  Please help me with this problem. Really appreciate!

  What model is the TC?

  Try to force the connection to 2.4 ghz using different names for the various bands... or even better to use ethernet.

  (You may need to buy love at first sight for adapter Ethernet... is an investment worth considering how unreliable wireless).

  Also give me some screenshots of the TC installing airport utility.

  Can you get it in the Finder?

• Updated the BIOS via bootable USB drive

  I want to update the BIOS by using the ISO image provided. I want to write this image a usb, then on startup, the bios update. How to create bootable USB drive.

  My system is E430, although the question is pretty generic.

  Hi again, ahaider7

  I don't think that a program would be necessary. However, after doing more research, I'm not sure the work process. In addition, update the BIOS via USB is not supported, because as far as I know. If you want to update the BIOS of your machine, I highly recommend using the utility to update the BIOS. You can also burn the .iso to a CD and the image file.

  Kind regards

• Bootcamp does not have enough space on the USB drive.

  Hello everyone,

  I am trying to install Windows 7 on my Macbook pro mid-2012 running on El Capitan.
  I want to do with a USB key, I bought a 16 GB nine one. Try to create the USB bootable with Bootcamp, I get the error that the USB device is too small. I don't know why that it is 16 GB.

  Then I tried to format using disk utility, but I get an error.

  I tried to use the command line to do with diskutil, always get an error: impossible to disassemble the drive.

  Using diskutil I can see the USB key:

  #: NAME SIZE TYPE IDENTIFIER

  0: GUID_partition_scheme * GB 15.5 disk1

  1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk1s1

  2: Apple_HFS Untitled 15.2 GB disk1s2

  I tried to erase the part EFI using gdisk, everything is ok in gdisk, I can just erase and write to the disk. But the problem is that when I unplug and re-plug the USB nothing has changed...

  Try to use under Windows (via VirtualBox) I see only a 200 Mb USB Drive.

  I don't really understand everything first:

  -Why bootcamp with the new USB has not been able to make a USB bootable for windows.
  Second:

  -Why can't I erase this USB key.

  Thanks for reading. I hope you can help me or tell me at least!

  You must delete and format the USB stick in the form of FAT. What is a USB2 flash drive? A GPT with a FAT partition will not work.

  Please see Re: Please format the USB key as a single partition FAT.? on how to do to erase/format the USB.
