  • How to start in my external hard drive to Windows 7 on my iMac?

    Hello

    I new here and just want to start in Windows 7 with boot camp on my iMac running Mountain Lion.

    I was told this software can do, but I am confused how.

    My drive hard win7 is currently connected to my iMac via a usb adapter. How to start up in it?

    Thank you.

    There are additional manual changes must be made to the .vmx config file to allow the Virtual Machine to be suspended not and do not taken Snapshots in order to have it comply with the same conditions imposed on a partition boot Camp install Windows when it is running as a Virtual Machine.

    This was repeated several times in this forum by myself and others so you should be able to search and find details of I synopsized here.

    I had a quick glance, but you would be kind enough to post a link to this part.

    Take a look at: changing the file .vmx for your VM from VMware Fusion (1014782)

    To keep the Virtual Machine of suspension, you do not want to do when you use a physical disk, add the following option in the .vmx config file.

    suspended. Disabled = "TRUE".

    To avoid having the pictures taken using the following option syntax:

    ide0:0. DeviceType = "rawDisk.

    Note that if the physical disks hard was created as a (free) SCSI vs IDE, then ide0:0 would be scsi0:0.  Note that this option can be added automatically when adding a hard pointing to a raw disk, do not remember for sure and no were not I can test at then time, so the option may already be present but if not then add.

  • Satellite A300-19 q - how to start with an external USB drive

    Hi all!

    I have a (old) TOSHIBA Satellite A300-19 q bought in 2008. I wanted to do a clean install of Windows 7 by reformatting my HD. The problem is that my internal DVD drive no longer works. So I tried to boot from the Windows 7 DVD installation with an external USB drive.
    Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way to boot from USB devices in my BIOS options.
    My BIOS is up to date (version 4.20) from Toshiba Web site.

    So I was wondering, does anyone know if the A300-19 q can boot from USB devices?

    Thank you in advance.

    I have A300 at home but I never tried to start with an external USB device.
    Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. There must be USB option. What happen when you try to use it?

  • How to start the wizard for the Driver NI-VISA development

    IM reading this manual:

    http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/tut/p/ID/4478

    I have labview8.6 on this pc, and I installed the driver NI-VISA 4.6... the manual says:

    "" "" 1. to open the DDW, select Start ' programs ' National Instruments ' VISA ' VISA Driver Developer Wizard.

    but the thing is, the menu of VISA, there are a few documents... There is no VISA Driver Developer Wizard... but I installed the driver NI-VISA 4.6... any ideas?

    In fact this explains the problem. You install DURATION VISA. If you re-run the installation program, you will see the feature tree seems different from that displayed a stone.

    The component you need, driver development Assistant, is in full VISA distribution, which you can download from the link below. The runtime is usually designed for deployed application. The development tools are absent of the runtime and are in the full distribution.

Thank you...!

    Hello - there was only 1 partition, and I think I know what it was. It was see the external hard drive - which I NOT formatted and works very well - and now that I have disconnected, he says "hard drive not found '. Now, I can not format the main computer! Should I rehook it? I just don't want this external hard drive to be formatted. How to format my computer (since CHK DSK does not work) with the CD? I just get the message 'cannot see the hard drive. Thanks for your help.

    N ° not re - hang. In fact, you must disconnect all devices from the computer except for your keyboard and your mouse. This includes, but is not limited to, your printer, card readers or other devices other than your cd rom of course media.

    The error you receive is probably due to your SATA controller driver is not being installed. Restart the computer and enter the bios. See if you can find the option to disable the AHCI or RAID and IDE SATA (SATA/PATA) emulation mode. Windows should detect your hard drive.

    Finally, if you are unable to find the option to turn off the AHCI/RAID mode, provide me the full brand and the model number of your computer.

    I do not vote for me I'm not here for points. If this post helps you, vote. Visit my forum @ http://repairbotsonline.com/

    How can I know if an external drive has been used for Time Machine and what computer it came with too?

    I have several laptops and iMacs. I spent the relocation of the year and only used the MacBook Pro.

    Now I'm trying to figure out which drive goes with which computer

    I connected just a disk seagate 1.5 t and the first thing he did was to ask if I wanted to use it as a Time Machine drive.

    (1) if it is the TM disk accompanying this computer don't would not it have just started upward automatically?

    (2) what happens if I would have said yes?

    (3) I don't even know if it's been activated for TM. Is there a way to tell? It may hold just for iMovie files and other programs associated with a computer from my past.

    All readers of backup Time Machine contains a folder named: Backups.backupdb. If you open this folder, you'll find another folder with the name of the computer that has been saved. If several computers have been saved on the same disk, you will have several folders.

    Hello:

    I found this link where a person fixed a similar problem with editing the registry.

    Make sure that you back up all personal files you do not lose to a portable hard drive and create a restore point by using System Restore utility first, because editing the registry might cause some problems with your PC, also do not start and you have to reinstall the operating system.

    How much RAM you have on your system? (Right click on "My Computer"-> properties)

    As a general rule, Windows XP does not work well if you have less than 1 GB or more of RAM.  What usually happens is that your RAM capacity is exceeded leading to overflow on virtual memory (the drive) to compensate for the need of RAM in the computer.  This causes your system to beat on your hard drive and slow down your system.

    If this is your problem, the options are to increase the RAM on your system or decrease the non-essential programs that launch at startup on your computer using a tool like Autoruns.
