  Hello

  I use Windows 7 Pro.  I have a Seagate external USB disk causing a "Non-system disk error" at startup.
  I had the same problem with a Clickfree drive.
  The problem occurs on my other PC with different versions of Windows.
  How can I get my computer to start and not give me this error message for my backup drive?
  At startup (when the drive disconnected), I get a screen of BACK indicating "Client Mac Addr."... GUID..., DHCP. "I think it's looking for a disk boot from.
  I just need to boot from the internal hard drive.
  Thank you

  If you get such a screen "Client Mac Addr... etc" at the start (with usb unplugged), looks like you are using a very old motherboard. If the system starts only with connected usb, then your initial installation of victory is defective or damaged

• Problem with the MK6021GAS as external USB disk

  Hello

  I tried several computers (so many configs), several catches USB, tried to add external power source... I still get the same error.

• external USB disk as a raw disk

  Hello

  I was looking for the solution but could not find.

  I have VMware server installed 1.0.6 on Windows XP.

  Machine VM I created since the downturn of the performance, I thought using raw disk option (I hope that better read/write performance).

  I want to format my external drive (WD My Book), using ext3 or xfs. Next, I would like to add as a 'raw disk' (not VMDK). I don't know why, but when I check the settings & gt; Material & gt; Hard drive there is no option to add PhisicalDrive which is the USB drive. VMware server can see only my hard drive (PhisicalDrive0) on the laptop, but nothing else.  Is this normal? Can I add PhisicalDrive which is the external drive connected to the USB port? If Yes, please indicate how tcan I do.

  USB devices can be "directly" connected to the virtual machine. FireWire devices are considered as a pci device and will not be seen by the virtual machine, like an ethernet card or a pcmcia wlan or other device pci card.

• First external USB disk backup from Time Machine and Time Capsule

  I have a new USB drive from 4 TB to use for backups Time Machine plugged on my almost full Time Capsule.  The Capsule is connected to my network using Ethernet, so it can be used to back up my MacBook Pro and iMac (via ethernet) (wireless).

  I would like to initial backups by directly plugging the USB directly on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.  I currently have the USB plugged into the Capsule of time connected to the ethernet. The initial backup for my iMac took 2 hours to make the 35GBs of 1.6TBs to back up so far.  So potentially 2 + days of initial backup...?

  There must be a quicker way.

  Box: to recover from my iMac support precedent (after a crash), which stood on a 3 TB USB2 drive plugged to the Capsule, it was estimated to take 36 hours.  I fly over the drive and plugged into the USB port on my iMac and the recovery only took about 8-10 hours, so it does not work for recovery.

  I tried to make the backup of the iMac by plugging the USB drive of 4 TB directly on the iMac. I then moved the dUSB Time Capsule drive, but he seemed to start when plugged into the TimeCapsule. If possible, I must have done something wrong in the order.

  It is extremely difficult to backup directly to the USB port and then move it to the TC because TM backup differently at local and network drives.

  People have figured out ways around it... but you think that it cannot simply... After saving 1.6 TB of data.

  Here see Q18.

  What model is the TC?

  Your sidebar... is absolutely true... you can easily go elsewhere... because you can mount the sparsebundle to the computer.
