• Update Firmware on Powerconnect 6224 switch

  I am wanting to update the firmware on my Powerconnect 6224 3.3.1.10 Version 3.3.5.5 Version switch.  Is there a problem with this jump or if that's okay?

  I would like also some words of wisdom as how this upgrade as painless as possible.

  Sincerely,

  Ken

  You should not have problems from this version to the current 3.3.5.5.  If you are not familiar with the command line on the switch, you can download the firmware from a location on your workstation management through http.

  You start by downloading the 3.3.5.5 from the support.dell.com site. Keep in a folder.  Then from the interface WebGUI of the switch, you can go to System/file/management folder download you must choose HTTP to transfer mode, then navigate to the location of the firmware on the desktop you.  Here is a screenshot of the file download page.

• Need to driver and application for Dell Inspiron 15R n5010 webcam model.

  Hello

  Recently, 2 days before I bought a portable model 15R n5010 with back support. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate OS on this machine.

  LAN and Web cam dirvers (the default Microsoft web cam driver) got installed automatically. While all the drivers and applications downloaded from the web site of DELL and installed correctly.

  Now, I want good built-in web cam driver and application for Dell 15R n5010 modem.

  Please let me know the link from where I can download and install the driver and application.

  Thanks in advance... !!!

  There is no separate driver for webcam integrated for Dell 15R model, pilot get automatically installed when you install Windows 7 OS.

  But you need to install a video capture as NCH software and many others to take snapshots of your built-in webcam

  Restore point:

  Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

  Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

  Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   

  If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

  Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

  Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

  Link above shows what the process looks like and a manual, it load the repair options.

  NeoSmart containing the content of the Windows Vista DVD 'Recovery Centre', as we refer to him. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows Vista, and is just a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. Technically, we could re-create this installation with downloadable media media freely from Microsoft (namely the Microsoft WAIK, several gigabyte download); but it is pretty darn decent of Microsoft to present Windows users who might not be able to create such a thing on their own.

  Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

  http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

  ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

  It's a very good Vista startup repair disk.

  You can do a system restart tool, system, etc it restore.

  It is NOT a disc of resettlement.

  And the 32-bit is what normally comes on a computer, unless 64-bit.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  Data recovery, if/before you reinstall:

  1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

  2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

  3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

  http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

  Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

  http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

  Download the Vista software from the link above.

  After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

  See you soon.

  First test the hard drive to make sure it's healthy. Test the hard drive with a diagnostic utility downloaded from site of the disc mftr. or use SeaTools for BACK of Seagate.

  If the hard drive then passes the physical tests, safe mode:

  fsutil dirty query c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This will tell you if the disc is dirty or not. Then always in cmd:

  chkntfs /x c: (or the appropriate drive letter) [Enter]

  This tells Windows not not to check this drive at startup. Reboot and it should go on the desktop. Once Windows loaded, run cmd and:

I want to upgrade to Windows 8 and it's what came when I bought the program online "secure boot requires firmware which supports UEFI followed v2.3.1 Errata B and has the authority of Certification Microsoft Windows in the UEFI signatures database... Thøis means that my laptop is not compatible? is there something I can do to fix it so I can get windows 8?

  Secure boot is a protocol feature not a Windows 8 of UEFI recent incidents made of PC/Laptop, etc. This is a feature implemented in the BIOS of a PC/laptop.

  Old PC do not have this in the setup of the BIOS, so it cannot be used.

  You have been informed that Secure Boot is not part of the BIOS, you may not use the feature.

• Updated table controller drivers and Firmware at boot from a SD card?

  I am in the process of upgrading vSphere 5.1 to 6.0.  All our ESXi hosts boot from SD cards and do not use table controllers local (they don't even have disks).  We had internal discussions on the need to update table controller drivers and firmware on our ESXi hosts if we do not use the table.  Those who are drivers update are firmware are concerned by the potential problems when the operating system scans the controller (either on boot for when looking for the new volumes) If firmware or drivers have been written for vSphere 4.1.  Those who are against the update drivers and firmware think that since there is no disc no problem.

  VMware has specific recommendations?

  What do other drivers of controller of berries on systems that do not use the local drive (i.e. boot from SD SAN cards, Auto deploy,).

  Thank you.

  P.S., We use servers HP Proliant DL and BL series, but I guess that would apply to any provider.

  VMware and HP support told me that if the device should not be used, then the drivers and firmware will not be updated.  We played with the idea to disable the array controller in the BIOS, but finally we decided to stay with our standard process do not update table controllers.

• restore the firmware for macbook pro 13 mid 2009

  Hi all! This is my first time using the support community so forgive me for any rudeness and English summary.

  I recently bought a used mid 2009 macbook pro 13 "with no disc on this subject, I installed a new empty 120 GB ssd drive.

  I asked a friend and he has downloaded and made me a usb bootable with osx on it (lion). I instaled the osx and got the macbook running successfully and it was perfect.

  I decide to update and went up el capitan wich sucessfully installed. After the update I tried it out, web navigation simple, when suddenly, out of nowhere the mac stop (much battery left and the led indicator to confirm) and has not started since... when I turn it on the led light flashes and it gives the s.o.s. beep (3 short beeps followed by 3 long beeps and then 3 short beeps) the optical drive made his usual looking noises of boot and the fan continues to spinning, I tried to remove the battery 10 minutes several times and nothing... I read a lot about the problems of ram tested with one stick at a time in the two slots and no improvement... bought a new pair of hynix 2 gb 1066 mhz pc3-8500 ddr3 sticks as recommended for this model and replaced the "old"... did nothing.

  I have no original discs just the macbook itself and the charger. Also tried to boot from the usb drive... not good... tried to start mode revovery... nothing that the black screen and a beep sounds.

  I did some research and read a looooot online and in discussions such as this apple and found it to be the sound warning for bad/corrupted efi rom (as opposed to the majority of people declaring it to be a ram issue) which needs to be restored or flashed... However, apple does not provide or at least I can't find a picture of recovery for my model cd special I know it's the macbook 5.1 (a1278 / emc2254). Is there any solution for this? Please help in some way that you can welcome suggestions!

  Thank you

  I tried the clean boot and now the hard drive works simply and screen went black. The mouse still moves around the screen without any outher work keys? That is what it is?

  Hello

  You will need to reverse the clean boot, as it is either incidental compared to
  the real cause of the problem. What, where you try to fix initially using the cleanboot?

  You can access Mode safe? Repeatedly press F8 as you start? If so you can try the configuration - control panel
  The Device Manager - graphics card - Double click on - driver tab - click the driver UPDATE - then
  Right click on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT.

  Another method to try to get to the desktop (try in normal Windows Mode without failure) is
  CTRL + ALT + DEL and the processes tab find EXPLORER.exe and COMPLETE the PROCESS on this subject - and then
  on the Applications tab - lower right - new task - type in EXPLORER.exe. Safe mode is reached
  by tapping F8 as you start several times.

  First check this thread in case it is simple and if not to come back to this thread.

  Black screen problems are extremely difficult to repair and all patch is usually on a base hit or miss.
  That there is no information on a black screen as it is on a blue screen just adds to the
  Difficulty. Often using a restore point or Startup Repair will have no effect. You can try a
  Google to see the proposed repairs, whom some have worked however these cover a wide
  field efforts.
