• ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but...

  ESXi 4.1 is almost complete used hard drive... but... in fact, it is not true.

  On my server ESXi, I see that I have only 200 M freestyle, when I opened the virtual machines that use this disk, it shows me that 53 G isn't free, 200 m.

  Can someone show me dirrection to solve this problem.

  Hello

  Regardless of the type of disc you use once in VMware ESX allocates space on the disk it will never resume. It will happen as two snacks of thin disc as thick disk. Only difference is that the thin disk allocation is on request and for thick it is pre configured.

  Now, when we see inside the guest, he will see some quantity using comments he will never see beyond that, because of virtualization. But the esx host is aware of what his size allocated to this disc.

  Please see KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1022242 for more information on the types of disk in VMware.

  Hello

  I know it s not possible to create it again without use of the Toshiba Recovery disk AFAIK this partitions contains also some brands that are necessary at the start of this partition.

  > Or create a files recovery disk? -
  I have the program of recovery-disc-creator if possible continue to use?
  Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool usually needs the HARD drive partition to create the recovery disk. But I doubt it will be functions if you've already deleted this partition.
  But nevertheless, you can see it.
  Create the partition (Vista disk management), copy these files on this partition and check if the Toshiba Recovery disk creator tool would find it.

  If not, I don t think you could create this partition of HARD drive

  In this case, you will need to purchase a Toshiba Recovery disk

• External hard drive is recognized but cannot see the content

  My external hard drive PX1393E - 2 32 is identified as removable media, if I connect it with my laptop. But there is no possibility of access. Size is shown as '0' and you can't see the content.

  I work with Windows Vista Home Premium SP 1. I tried to use the hard drive with a second computer (also Vista): same problem. If I connect the hard drive with a laptop that works with XP, I can see and use all my data.

  Drivers and the operating system are the last level.

  Does anyone know a solution?

  (I ask forgiveness because of my bad English.)

  Hello

  You can see the size of the HARD disk in disk management?

  Normally the external HARD drive should also work on Vista if it works properly on your XP computer.
  You use different cables? Maybe you should try other on Vista laptop.

  In addition, I would recommend formatting the HARD drive again. It's maybe something s wrong with the structure of the partition.

• External hard drive not recognized, but...

  I can't find a similar problem anywhere online.

  Drive external DRIVE is Toshiba Stor.E partner (green), 1 TB.

  About 2 years ago.

  One day last week, I realized, it was not mounted in the usual place (on my Time Capsule), so I connected it to my Mac Mini, but no difference.

  Screenshots show Mac specs, more the HARD drive in the disk and repair utility failed drive.

  It is partitioned into two 500 GB, but I can't really remember why I did it.

  For more than a year it is connected to the back of my time Capsule, so it is not included in the automatic backups. From time to time I move to my Mac Mini for a day or two and include it in the back up - but now that I enter Time Machine can't find a backup of it so I was probably passing on this topic in the wrong way? Also had a problem during the summer, this year, where my TC got indigestion and decided to throw all that, which means that I had to start from scratch, backups but it was not biggy time.

  I bought a new cable (best reviews on Amazon), in which case it was a problem, but no difference. Have not yet tried a Y-cable but will if someone recommends.

  I'm sure that people will need more information, ask so far.

  Also displayed in the Mac Mini to the Web site, but this has farrrr less followers then thought that it would be wise by the bash too.

  Thanks in advance

• Replace a hard drive in dv6 but is not completed the installation phase

  I replaced my hard drive with a disks recommended by an expert from HP in this forum, and he seemed fine. After starting with my #1 recovery and loading of each disk when you are prompted, I got the final guest/message: "preparation of the recovery is complete. Remove the system recovery media. Once the computer is restarted, the installation of recovery process will begin... Support on continue restart the computer. "When I hit the"Continue"button, the screen went black as if it has been restarted. But instead, a black screen with the HP logo in the centre appeared, with the text: "Press ESC for Boot Menu" in white letters in the lower left corner. Waited about half an hour, and then you press the ESC key, but it changed nothing. Same screen HP. And that's all - nothing else has happened. I left it on all night, thinking perhaps that it takes time to get there, but in the morning, the same screen was there and my phone was hot as if in use. So I turned it off right there. What would not, and that I should try now?

  Turns out that I don't need to download the Microsoft Windows software and then struggle to find the right drivers, thank God. My recovery discs works perfectly after all.

  Having read tons and tons of forum posts about this problem, I finally found a solution that worked really - posted by another user, GoodTimes81 (thanks!). This solution is pasted below (with numbers and an additional note added by me):

  (1) put the recovery disk #1 in and

  (2) when the Recovery Manager screen loads, you will get a few options, but the one you want is the command prompt (which appears after you select "Run a computer check.")

  (3) in the command prompt, I typed bootrec.exe/fixmbr, you press on enter and waited it says the operation completed successfully.

  (4) I typed bootrec/fixboot and then you press on enter and again waited until he said the operation has completed successfully.

  (5) after having done that I left the command line, restarted my computer and waited until my recovery disk #1 loaded up again.

  (6) then, I chose the recovery system to the Recovery Manager screen and went through the process of insertion of disks 1 to 4.  When the 4th disc is complete, it says remove the recovery disc and press on continue, which I did, then it restarts, except that this time it restarted and actually started the installation and facilities it is supposed to do and has completed the recovery process.
  _________

  The other user said these steps solved the problem for her, and they could work for you. Finally, they worked for me, except after step 5, the recovery disk #1 would not load again. I received an error message (the black screen, white letters) mentioning a problem of location startup (sorry, that I did not write down exactly what he says). I pressed the button power to restart, but got the same error message.

  So I pressed the button to power again but this time, you press F11 repeatedly until I had a menu of options. The option to boot was F9, then I pressed F9 and selected "CD/DVD player" (which I had already done elsewhere earlier in the process, but maybe it had reset after entering the command request?) and then restarted again.

  This time, it worked, and I was back in step 6 above. Load the discs one at a time (note: I have 7 discs instead of the 4 mentioned by another user), and after that the disc was done and I got the prompt to "Press continued to restart", it restarted and he proceeded to load all the software, drivers, etc as it is supposed to. Yay!

  The other Options tab is available when you choose to clean up the files of all users on the computer. This tab includes two additional ways to free disk space even more:

  • Programs and features. Open programs and features in Control Panel, where you can uninstall programs you no longer use. The column size in programs and features shows how much disk space each program uses.

  • System Restore and shadow copies. Guests delete you all but the most recent restore point on the disc.

    Use system restore to return your system files to an earlier point in time, restore points. If your computer is running normally, you can save disk space by removing the previous restore points.

    In some editions of Windows Vista, restore points can include previous versions of files, called the shots and backup images created with Windows complete PC Backup. This information will also be deleted. For more information about system restore, search Windows Help and Support 'system restore.

• I want my user to my main hard drive i.e. hard drive by default but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd

  * O.T. > default player

  So I set up my Pc with an SSD and unplugged my of my motherboard main HARD drive, so that Windows would automatically install on the SSD. It installed and now I connected the main HARD disk but the SSD is always default. I want to have my my main hddd user but my OS on the SSD without the user on the ssd, because it would take too much space. So basically I was my OS to run from the SSD but my user, download, App Data etc... to come from my main SSD, but I don't know how to do it. Help please?

  -Va

  My recommendation would be to open the C:\Users folder, then go to your user folder (probably 'Will' or a good thing?)

  Now take the record office and HOLD DOWN SHIFT while drag you it to another player.  When you drop, Windows automatically updates the registry of this folder paths so that all you ever put on your "office" (office of real desktop wallpaper) is actually stored on the other drive.

  Do the same for your Documents, downloads, photos, videos and other "Shell folders".

  You can indicate that a folder is a special folder redirection-able by clicking Properties.  If you see the 'Location' tab, then this folder can be redirected to another drive.  Almost everything in your user account folder is like this (by dragging while now shift is the quick way to update this tab 'Location' to redirect the folder to another drive).

  It is technically possible to literally redirect the entire folder 'Will' for example, but I do not recommend it for a typical user account unless you have some super specific needs, and redirect folders shell as this will get the huge majority of data written in your user folder.

• I can't find my external hard drive under 'Computer' but it appears in "Devices and printers" How can I access files on my external hard drive?

  Hello ShamedMonkey,

  Thank you for your message.  The problem you are having is because of differences in formatting between PC and Mac.  You can, however, transfer your files between the two.  I will set out what must be done under and limitations of each.
  First, you will need to format the drive on your PC.  When you format the PC, you can format it in FAT32 or NTFS.
  (You mentioned that you do not see the drive in the computer) To format drive:
  Click 'Start' > right click on 'Computer' > select 'manage '.
  Click on "disk management".
  In the right pane, you should see your drive > you can then do a right click and 'format '.
  FAT32:
  This format will allow you to easily transfer files between the two.  This format becomes problematic when you transfer files more than 4 G.  There is a limit of 4 GB in FAT32, etc. of many movies are bigger than that and cannot be transferred using this format.
  NTFS
  This format has no size limitation, however, in its normal state it will be 'Read only' on Mac.  If you will not be able to transfer all the data itself.  While doing some research on the web, it seems that you can use a program called MacFuse on your Mac to change to NTFS files.  I have not confirmed this, but you can give it a try.  If this program works as planned, it would be the way to go.
  Please let us know if it did or did not solve your problem.
  See you soon

• Iomega external hard drive is attached but not found by printers & peripherals

  I had an external hard drive Iomega two years and removed to add a printer.  When I reinstalled it the light is on, but it is not displayed during the backup or the devices of & printers.  I uninstalled and reinstalled but can not use it.

  Hello

  Please contact the Microsoft Community Forums.

  It looks like Iomega drive external is not detected in Windows 7. We will analyze and identify the cause of the problem.

  Please answer a few questions to refine the question.

  1. what happens when you try to plug in the device?

  2. are you able to connect other USB devices to the computer?

  3. do you receive any error messages?

  4. What is the status of the device in disk management?

  This may be caused by the following:

  • Your player does not have a drive letter assigned in disk management
  • The player can be disabled or offline
  • Your USB driver is maybe corrupted
  • Damaged registry keys may be the cause of problems with connection of a CD player or DVD toyour

• external hard drive contains files, but the folder in lightroom is empty

  I have all my photos on an external hard drive. Years 2006-2015 are only on the external hard drive, they are all organized by month and they all appear in the lightroom Library 5 very well.  2016 is on the internal hard drive of my mac (fine organized and functioning properly) and I also backed it up on the external hard drive. If I go to the finder, I see the 2016 files are on my external hard drive, but 2016 in the lightroom hard disk library is empty. I can't import on the external drive again because when I do that all the files are gray because they are already there on. Any ideas on how to get the files appear in the library?

  If you follow the instructions of dj_paige, Lightroom will then see the photos on the EHD, but will no longer see the pictures on the internal drive.  -What are you trying to do?  I got the impression you want Lightroom to see pictures in both IHD and DHM.
