Hard drives VM file found

Dear team,

in one of the data store that I found a vm hdd, I just want to confirm weather it is used by a machine virtual or not, if it is so that I can continue with the removal. IFP file

concerning

Mr. VMware

... of the last modified date can we say that vhdd is in use

Unfortunately, the timestamps are no reliable indicator to determine whether or not a hard file is used. If there are active snapshots, the timestamps will never change even if the hard files are in use.

Did you find the name of the file in a vmware.log file? If this isn't the case, setting off the virtual machine in which folder you found hard files, create a subdirectory and it reached the hard 'orphan' newly created folder files. Then turn on the virtual machine to see if it complains about missing files.

  • HARD drive can be found on LX835-D3380

    Can anyone help? Went to switch pc on lx385-d3380 and all of a sudden, that is to say no drive found.

    Hello

    The HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS?
    Go to the BIOS by pressing F2. Usually the HARD drive should appear on the first page of the BIOS.
    If it is not listed, the HARD drive was not found by the BIOS... I suppose that because of HARD drive failure.

    In this case, the HARD drive should be replaced to solve the problem.

  • Primary hard drive 0 not found Dell Latitude

    Hello

    I just bought 2 notebooks of Dell Latitude D800 with no operating system. The first laptop is fine, but the second, when I turn it on it shows the Dell screen with the loading bar. The loading bar is to halfway to the end when it freezes. The system freezes on this screen for about a minute, then it beeps twice and a black screen that says:

    "First hard drive 0 not found '.

    No bootable devices - don't strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

    So I go into the BIOS and see under "internal hard drive" and he says: 'no '. I checked and make sure the hard disk has been activated, and it is.

    I took the hard drive and reinstalled it. Nothing. The drive is a Toshiba 40 GB. In addition, mention, the reader makes a weird noise (not the click of death) and the hard drive on the laptop stays on all the time.

    Other D800 I mentioned boots very quickly and displays a no. OS screen, which is very good.

    So is my dead HDD?

    Thank you

    It is quite clear that the BIOS does not recognize the hard drive.  I suspect that the IDE controller on the motherboard has failed.

    Given that you have two cell phones similar to fool around with, probably the fastest way to isolate the problem is to swap hard drives.  Call the laptop that does not have one and one that works B

    If the laptop has now boots and cell B now is not, you know that the player who has been to A is bad.

    If A laptop computer still does not start and portable B boots again, then you know that the two disks are OK and the problem is the motherboard or the connector of the drive in the laptop.

  • (brand new) hard drive 0 not found (Latitude D600)

    ======================================================

    I know this has been discussed a lot, but I have not found a solution.

    My laptop is a Dell Latitude D600, BIOS Version: A16

    My HARD drive died last week, he was making noises that I made backups.

    Of course, one morning I turned it on and it says '... ". hard drive 0 not found... »

    So I thought right we'll buy a new one, no big deal. In this case.

    But to my horror, the brand-spanking-new HARD drive made me exactly the same thing!

    Costs of the antistatic packaging, directly in the cradle, with tenderness.

    "First hard drive 0 not found '.

    No bootable devices - strike F1 to retry boot, F2 for Setup utility.

    Also, the BIOS reads my "main hard drive: ' as 'None '.

    I tried: -.

    -Replace (re-attachment for cradle clamp, tighten, etc..)

    -reset of the BIOS (pressing ALT - F)

    -internal 'HDD' isolation in the "boot order" (BIOS)

    -startup WinXP CD to format (says also that it cannot detect a HARD drive)

    -stroked and tweaked every possible BIOS setting

    -a ran the diagnostics (well Yes, tells me that it cannot find a HARD disk)

    -check the temperature (not a problem at all)

    I bought my D600 to opportunity without boot floppies or manuals, and private security has passed.

    I'll try to take out the battery for a day to see if that will be "flash BIOS" but I can't help you as (to my knowledge) the motherboard settings remain stored with the help of a small battery attached to the actual motherboard that would be inside the envelope, so I think it's a misunderstanding in another post on the forum , but I'll try it in desperation anyway. Next step would be to open the envelope and checking the IDE and remove the battery from the motherboard for 5-10 minutes.

    After that, my only option is to send to some local business PC repair. Ick.

    Any help will be VERY appreciated! Thank you.


  • Cannot load external hard drive .itl file

    I'm trying to migrate my itunes to an external HD to new computer, Windows 10.

    The old computer had reached a miserable end of life due to obsolescence and lack of resources.

    For example, shortly before he died, I thought how to move all files including the media and the. ITL and the. XML for the EHD files.

    It seems that this may have complicated problems for the current process.

    The former. ITL file is there and intact. I try to IMPORT PLAYLIST, which is the closest thing to what I think I need, and it says that the file cannot be imported because it doesn't seem to be a valid exported file.

    I try to import the .xml and it is said that some of the songs in the Itunes music library file were imported not because they are not found. It means everything.

    I tried to hold the ALT key and open Itunes, as seen somewhere, but it's apparently a MAC function only. Windows opens a properties box, will not open the program and allow selection of the library as described.

    I also just tried dragging the .itl file itunes such as discussed in migrating to a new computer, but appears not to work either.

    If the old computer worked in anyway I will try to export the file. But alas, this is not an option.

    I currently complete my collection, but any piece of data has disappeared. I would really like to return?

    Thanks for nothing.

    Frank

    Hold down the SHIFT key while you start iTunes.  When you arrive it is fast:

    Click choose a library... then navigate to and select the iTunes Library (.itl file) hard disk external.  This is the only way to get iTunes to use a specific library - import, a double click, etc. have no effect.  Once you've done this iTunes will continue to use the library selected (without having to use the SHIFT-Start option) so that the external hard drive is connected and its drive letter does not change.

    You may need to check the layout of your iTunes library on the external HARD disk is correct - it should be like this:

    More specifically, the iTunes Library.itl file should be in the folder that contains the iTunes Media folder.  See tips to the user of turingtest2 on do a split cell library for more information.

  • Windows 8 move the SSD hard drive program files

    Hello

    I just bought a new computer, it has 2 drives. one is a 32 GB SSD which was intended only for Windows operating system and the other is a 500 GB of HARD drive, which was for all other files and programs.

    Now because my SSD is the player by default; the program, Program Files (x 86) files and the Users folder are found on C:. this sense that when I install a program and am not invited to select a destination (such as Office 365) folder, it will automatically end on C: instead of D:. Is it possible for me to move these 3 folders on the C: on the D: drive.

    Running under WINDOWS 8

    Could someone help me with this problem please.

    Thank you

    Support site for your computer manufacturer should help you with this. Normally a 32 GB ssd drive does not contain the operating system because it is too small. She is just a cache for recent files speed up the computer and it is not generally drive C.

    'See' your disk, open disk management and who will give you a better idea how the disks are configured. Shortcut keys to access disk management are key Windows + X. technicians Contact the computer support or ask about it in their forums. Don't move anything without assistance.
  • Satellite A300-1J1 - how to use HARD drive recovery files to install Vista again

    I've read the threads that already exist, until anyone there sprang key of course, however I don't see the answers to my questions, so I hope someone can help.

    Basically my A300 has been regularly overheating and turning off, and after a recent instance of this, I left it disassembled and cleaned the radiator and the surround carefully.

    Unfortunately, reassembly, it became clear that Windows would not start, probably due to some problem caused by the most recent power cut or maybe even within my very careful disassembly?

    In any case, Vista does not start, in all modes, either standard, in safe mode or in repair mode. As standard, it screens with a message of error UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME blue etc.

    Mode of repair, windows bar logo and green rises, but then it just black screens and no more. Slight variation only I had here, it's that sometimes a white cursor rises, but still a black screen. I left the machine 30 minutes where there was a simple delay, but not... nothing happens, it just hangs.

    I have no CD of restoration, because I did not create one, but I was able to access all the files via the platform of Knoppix, and everything seems in order, so important HARD drive corruption seems unlikely.

    I see records to get Toshiba HDD and also Windows RE, so my question to you people is as follows; Is it possible that I can use these files that are still in tact to get Vista without buying a disc for £ 30 from Toshiba?

    My concern is, I don't see why the supposed recovery integrated does not work given that the associated files still seem present and intact on the disk, and I'm reluctant to lose 30 pounds on something, if it is not guaranteed to work in all cases.

    What would you recommend I do?
    My files are backed up and whatever is left is not important... I just want to restore my Vista more quickly, more simple, the cheapest possible.

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately I think that there is nothing you can do because the files are unnecessary if disk HARD recovery doesn't work because you must be able to access the Windows Advanced Boot menu.

    I agree with you, it's not good recovery disc HARD Toshiba doesn't work for you, but you must also understand s your fault if you didn't create the recovery disk as mentioned in the user manual. ;)

    So either buy you a new recovery disk or you are using a Microsoft Windows disk to reinstall Windows. All drivers and tools that you can download on the page of Toshiba.

  • First hard drive 0 not found on Dell Windows XP computer

    Original title: Hard Drive not found

    I have a Dell Dimension 4550 Series computer using Windows XP SP3.  At startup the following message now "Primary Hard Disk Drive 0 not found".  Only the option F1 or F2 gives me or what appears to be a viable solution.  Impossible to access anything whatsoever beyond this screen.  All connections look OK.  Resolution ideas are welcome!  Thank you.

    Hi MartinL960,

     

    Remember to make changes before this problem?

    It is a hardware problem with Dell, through my research I found that users encounter similar problem solved the problem by making changes to hard disk parameters in the BIOS.

    Important: Change BIOS (Basic input output system) /semiconductor (CMOS) to complementary metal oxide settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.

    Since the resolution requires the modification of the BIOS that is risky, I recommend you contact dell for more specialist on this question help

    Your Windows Xp disk is missing from the sata/raid drivers to detect the hard drive. This problem can be solved in two ways that I know.

    First of all, you can slipstream the drivers in the creation of a new disk of Windows Xp disc. Second, you can enter your bios and disable the ahci.

  • Can I delete data from my hard drive program files

    I have Vista Home Basic on an Acer Aspire5315. I bought 200 GB of RAM. Now I have less than 10% room on the drive C of ACER. There are a lot of Data\Microsoft\Search \Data program files on the hard drive. I can remove them?

    Hi Judith,

    You should not delete these, program data files are stored by Applications you have installed on your computer. If you delete, it will make these programs to crash.

    RAM memory is a temporary memory to keep track of things that are open (among others), it does not affect the storage space. In addition, there are no 200 GB of ram.
    Download and install CCleaner, which can cancel the entire space that Windows generates throughs months/years of use here: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
    Then once it is installed, quit all browsers you have open and run CCleaner
    Then click Cleaner (the icon of the brush).
    Then check all the boxes in the Internet Explorer category
    Check all the boxes in the category of Windows Explorer
    Check all the boxes in the category System (and for each one you receive, press OK)
    Click on the Applications tab, and then check all the boxes in there.
    Now click the Run Cleaner button
    That will clear all the clutter.
    Now, if you click on Tools
    Click on the Uninstall tab
    Here you can see the list of programs that you have installed
    Select any software/tool bar you don't need and click run program uninstaller.
    That will save you a lot of space on your drive.
  • Cannot access the backup files on my external hard drive, the files are in the VHD format.

  • 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.

  • Problem with Lightroom and external hard drive. Files and folders deleted.

    In the classroom (8.1 windows computers) import us images that .dng files on an external hard drive using Lightroom.

    After the Lightroom, insert us the memory card containing photos and attach an external hard drive. (formatted to ntfs)

    We create a new catalog on the external hard drive and then create a folder as the destination for the images on the external drive as well.

    After passing to the newly formed catalog in Lightroom, we import the photos from the memory card to the external hard drive.

    Photos are present in the folder 'import' on the external hard drive after the end of the import, so checking with windows Explorer.

    After the closure of LR and disconnect the external hard drive of the computer, it appears that the newly created files and imported files have disappeared.

    We tested with an external hard drive in exfat. The same problem.

    There is no problem when you copy directly in Explorer windows of memory card files to the external drive.

    The files are not hidden. Tested on mac and windows.

    If you said that the photo files are on the external hard drive when you checked using Windows Explorer during the class? Is this correct? YES
    Then you go home and the files are not on the external hard drive? YES

    Well, it is a mystery, but there is no way that Lightroom can be the culprit.

    Is it the same for the catalog file, in class, he was present on the hard disk according to the Windows Explorer, and when you get home, is no longer on the drive? YES

    Same conclusions, it is not Lightroom.

  • Backup on external hard drive .dng files

    I bought an external hard drive Western Digital My Book Essential strongly recommended to backup image files, and then it was discovered that the WD software does not support the .dng files.  Is it possible to move files from .dng WD software and backup on the external drive WD?  I use PS CS5.1, version 12.1 x 32 on a PC running Windows XP professional.

    The backup software should allow you to select all files, instead of a filtered list. But having said that, if she did not, then you could easily just use windows Explorer and drag the files yourself. Using a backup drive software is just for convience to make it easier on the owner for the backup files. It is not necessary to access the drive. As I said, you can use windows Explorer, or you could use the backup software provided with windows and let a backup completes, if the drive is big enough. So, you have options.
