• Transfer the profile from one hard disk to another without launching Firefox or the operating system.

  I just got a new laptop because my old card mother fried on my desk. The old master by car is very good and I have a transfer kit that I can use to transfer some files I need. I can't figure out how to transfer my Firefox profile on the new laptop computer. I can not locate where the files I need transfer and do not know what files those who would. Only article I could find here requires being able to either launch Firefox or the operating system. I can't do either so help please.

  Thank you!

  You will need to take ownership of the files if you do not have permission to copy files. You need to do when running Windows Explorer as an administrator.

• Cannot defragment the hard drive AND cannot start the computer in safe mode

  I have been unable to defragment my hard drive because it tells me that chkdsk /f planned.  I tried manually works in command mode nothing works.  I was advised to try to start up in safe mode, but when I do that all I get is a screen of command lines, and my computer freezes there.  What I'm doing wrong and what I can do differently?

  If you try to defragment a volume and see a message like this:

  Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
  Please run Chkdsk /f.

  This means that the volume (disk) that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

  To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

  cmd

  Click OK to open a command prompt window.

  For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

  fsutil dirty query C:

  The sample output:
  Volume c is dirty
  Volume C: is dirty

  Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

  The only way to disable the on a volume's dirty bit is to run chkdsk with error correction.

  You can click on start, run and enter in the box:

  Chkdsk /r

  Click OK and answer Yes to schedule the chkdsk next time XP restarts, restart your system and keep your fingers crossed that the chkdsk /r clears the dirty bit (you may need to run once or twice).

  If who disobeys, then you will need to start in the XP Recovery Console and run the chkdsk /r from there.

• Vista hard disk 'protected' when you try to use the XP system

  I have a vista dead, trying to get the old photos of her, the machine was only a password protected account admin/owner, everytime I try and access the folders "folders are protected. Advice, workarounds for bugs everyone knows?

  After installing the disk drive on an XP machine, you will probably have to 'Take Ownership' of the folders/files.  Even if the user name (i.e. 'administrator') may be the same on both machines, Windows recognizes users by the Secure ID that will be different on the two machines.  The following procedure, you should get going again:

  Hello needshelpbad1,

  Thank you for visiting the website of Microsoft Windows Vista Community.

  Since your computer is relatively new, I could contact the manufacture and see what they can do to help with this.  However, to be proactive, I posted a link below that other users have had similar problems and there is resolution that can run or you.

  This should point you in a direction to answer your question or solve your problem.

• When installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system?

  Have a Dell system, caught a virus and it has really messed up the PC. Recently, it got worse so I tried to reinstall the operating system with the Dell disks. It wouldn't work. So I bought for Windows 7 Professional, it will not be installed. My first question when installing a new operating system isn't automatically wipe the hard disk, create a new partition, and then install the operating system? Because this does the same as the Dell disks, is to take what is on the hard drive and put it in a folder called windows old, is not formatting the HD. When I boot the disk, it shows the installation of files then open windows and start the installation. Before he could finish I get an error missing or corrupted files. Tried several times now, windows will still not open. Any suggestions? Once while trying to install the pc crashed with a blue screen which is one of the reasons why I have reinstall the OS, he started to plant a few times. I don't remember all the details on my PC, but its 4 years, triple core coprocessors, ram 8 GB, 500 GB HD. At the same time just after all this started in Jan. I had also improved my 3 GB to 8 GB memory. I bought the Dell memory for my system. Since the crash, could there be a problem with these new memory chips? Last night I tried to disassemble each and reinstalling it, but that doesn't seem to make a difference. Before I tried to reinstall the operating system, the pc was see the concert 8.

• ? Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Bad Status. WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive.

  When I start my computer, an error page appears. At the bottom of the page it says, "Primary Master Hard Disk S.M.A.R.T. Status Bad." WARNING: Return immediately-up your data and replace your hard drive. Press F1 for Setup, F2 to continue"I was just pressing F2 and then it starts normally, but whenever I start my computer, the same page comes up.

  Is this serious or it could be something minor? Do you have any suggestions? What does that mean? What should I do? I followed some information in the forums of someone who has had the same problem and finally, they fixed them, they said that when they made a prior microsoft update what they where missing a Parcer.

  Note: I tried to save my data before, but something goes wrong and the backup will not be completed.

  You can download the program for diagnotics HUtil Samsung http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/downloads/Hutil210_iso_for_CDROM_drive.zip

  It's an ISO image then unzip the file and write the ISO image to a CD.

  Then restart the PC and booting with the CD. To do this, you must change the priority/boot order in the BIOS to boot from the CD first.

  Once you have started the program HUtil it will detect your hard drive Samsung. Select the hard disk.

  Enter the main Menu on the tool. Go into the menu of the tool and enter Auto diagnosis. Enable diagnostics to run, once done it will ask you if you want to perform a surface analysis - enter Yes. The analysis of surface will take some time to complete. If errors are found, it reported.

  Once more I recommend you backup your data as soon as possible, preferably before executing HUtil program.

  For more information on the program of HUtil you can go here: http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/support/utilities/Support_HUTIL.html

  Write when the cache is enabled: when data are written back to the hard drive, it is written in the cache that is much faster to actually write to the hard drive. An acknowledgement of receipt is then sent by saying that the data has been written on the hard disk, when in fact it does not. In this way so that the data is actually being written to the hard drive to the rest of the system can continue to work. However memory cache is volatile, if the power goes off, the data in the cache is destroyed and if it has not been written to disk hard and yet he's lost.

  If your settings are correct. Usually the drives are configured for performance and the write cache is enabled. While flash drives and memory cards are configured for the fast-moving and write cache is disabled.

• ESXi SCSI 5 to "cannot get disk partition information.

  Off I must first say that I have tried to follow the guides as much as I could find to solve this problem, but nothing has worked.

  We have a server with a single 130 GB drive that ESXi 4.0 resides on and another disk SCSI 5 to that we wanted to use as a VMFS partitioned drive, with a big VMDK, who accesses our Server VM file.

  ESXi installation went well, however, when we arrived to add the second drive as another data store, we got an error message: "error during the configuration of the host: could not get disk partition information. From there on, we tried several solution, manually formatting the drive with the tools of command line vmkfs, Re-partitioning for ext2 with GParted Live, erasing information from partition with dd, deleting all partitions, all without success.

  We are posting our problem here as a last resort, I can confirm that vSphere displays the total capacity of the car, but not the partition information. It seems also a gap between the capacity of disk fdisk reports and esxcfg-scsidevs - l capacity.

  Here are a few out of order, it was after the partitions have been deleted on 5 TB disk (the one that ends with "67"):

  I had heard he had some problems with the help of 2 TB disks in ESXi, however I was not sure if it was directly relevant to this problem. I am open to using Raw Device Mappings, I think I've seen a few guides on the methods not supported for adding THAT RDM on a local drive - all advice on this would be welcome.

  Currently, we hold a store of data from 5 to and VMDK join one of our virtual machines. I guess my question is: How can I get the 5 TB drive work in ESXi?

  Hello and welcome to the forums.

  ESX (i) can be used to the maximum 2 TB - 512 bytes to the size of the LUN.  It is documented in KB 3371739.  You can just cut up this 5 TB drive into partitions smaller than 2 TB - 512 bytes each.

  Good luck!

  SMART is a technology on newer computers that allows the computer to monitor the health of hard drives in your computer. Something happened to one of your readers that detects the smart as a problem, and she's trying to warn you proactively to this topic before it fails.

  It may be also that you have installed a very old hard drive that does not support the CHIP and the monitor reports that it can not read the drive status.

  So depending on your level of knowledge and experience, you can watch to replace the hard disk that is reported, or you can disable SMART followed to make the message disappears. The second option but then means if it is really a failure, it is likely any work stoppage or corrupted so data you do note to solve.

• Hard disk partition error

  I have an external hard drive that is partitioned into 2 drives recently I plugged in and saw that one of my player does not show their name of file system is displayed but size and other information are not visible, it opens either, the other drive works fine, what do I do if I want the data intact?

  Hello

  Thank you for contacting Microsoft Community.
  This is not possible because there is an error in the HARD drive partition. I suggest to save the data of the second partition and do a clean format, with a single partition and try to use it. If the problem persists, contact the manufacturer, it may require repair.

• Failed to get the disk partition information when you add the new data store

  Hello

  Update my ESX to version 4 Update 1 (4.0.0, 256968). Now, I'm trying to add a new data store to a cluster in vCenter and receive the following error message when I will review the current structure of the disc "error when configuring the host: failed to get the disk partition information. When I click back, then next, there's no error message but in the formatting window, I get the error "Object reference" not set to an instance of an object.

  I see this question has been asked before, but I can't seem to find an appropriate response. Anyone? The interface using CLI instead of vCenter isn't an option (alignment VMFS, workload and so on)

  I use Dell R900 with an EMC Symmetrix VMax SAN

  The size of the LUN I want to add is 741 GB

  Concerning

  Marius Aulie

  If you have a virtual machine for Windows test, you could do the following, to ensure that the logic unit number has a clean partition table:

  -set the LUN as a GROSS physical to virtual machine device

  -Run diskpart, select the drive and run the CLEAN command

  -detach the LUN to the virtual machine

  -try to create the data on the LUN VMFS store

  The size of the block of the data store where the VM test can be a problem with the above. Due to the size of the LUN, the size of the block of the data store must be at least 4 MB. Attach the LUN to a physical test system could be an alternative.
