• Questions about hard drive setup

  Hello

  I just built a Pr/AE Setup for my cousin and the only thing left set up now is hard drives. I'm no expert in this so I came to ask someone more wise.

  So that's what I have:

  1. 1 x 500 GB Samsung 840 SSD for the os/programs

  2. 4 x 2 TB Seagate hard drives in a RAID5 configuration

  3. 1 x 60 GB Kingston SSD

  I would be very grateful for any suggestion.

  You got it about now!

  Your cousin will need to learn about the location of the file to the Bank and how to clean records scratch etc to use Agency.

  About the 60 GB SSD, Yes to keep some of the files on it, but not to captured video / audio.

  Netither Scratch files or cached files are not deleted when closing first.

• Hard drive setup

  I have a 250 GB SSD with my operating system and applications on it, another 1 TB SSD and a standard of 2 TB HARD drive... (and I don't have another external drive 1 TB USB 3.0 (I'm not sure what I could do with that))

  What would be the best way to define these for best performance for After Effects and first?

  (For the record, I'm pretty new to this kind of thing)

• Hard Drive Setup for the source files, media Cache, project, Render, etc...

  I am working to put in place the following readers:

  C: SSD for the OS and programs

  D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for projects from first, where I did too, and still

  E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for the source files, hiding from media and preview the files (if I can get the controllers/SATA III RAID Marvel that is)

  External HD USB 3.0 for backup projects

  Should I make this different?

  Anyone think it would be better to use the SDD discs instead of hard drives? I have

  Please confirm that it is correct:

  C: SSD for:

  • Operating system and programs
  • No pagefile

  D: RAID 0 (three SATA II F3) for:

  • No pagefile
  • First project
  • Source files of project first (suggestion by evil)
  • Project yet

  E: RAID 0 (two SATA III WD black Caviar) for:

  • Swap file (install first, 12 GB since I have 24GO RAM)
  • Media cache
  • Preview files
  • Rendering of the project (e.g., DVD MPEG2, H.264, etc.) / source files of project yet

  Fix.

  When I finish my PR projects, I use DVD - HQ Bitrate & GOP calculator to determine the parameters of flow and export to DVD MPEG2 or H.264 - BR according to my delivery format, but also because I always export sound instead of AC3 5.1 2.0. I only make my chapter points in Encore and not worth trying it in the PR, due to the limitations of long GOP. Again these same limitations, but I prefer to do it in yet, because then I can easily adapt and make the poster frames for my taste.

  In my workflow, so I have my source media and the project on the D drive and export the MPEG2-DVD, or H.264 - BR in drive E. open the project again from my D drive, and then import the assets on my E drive.

  Reminder I export the image file and then use Nero to make multiple copies, because with Nero I can use multiple burners, creating 50 copies goes two times faster with two burners or even 4 times faster with four burners.

• Another question about hard drive setup

  Thank you all for the info on PC and installation material.  I have download the first CS4 trial version and it is awesome!  I have one last question? I read the rules for storage and editing platform.

  I noticed in the project settings, as there

  captured video

  Audio captured

  video excerpts

  Audio previews

  And in the preferences

  media database cache

  media cache files

  Correct me if this is incorrect

  Drive a my OS and files in project

  My second drive pagefile and media cache database and media file cache.

  Third disc captured video & audio and video previews and audio previews

  This system uses a combination of DV, AVCHD material.  I would add another hard drive?  I may be using raid 0 for the audio captured video edge.

  No problem. Especially for raid0 configuration, you can easily use the on-board raid functions. No sense getting a controller separated for this card.

• Discussions about hard drive setup

  Hello everyone, and Merry Christmas. I use the suite CS6 Adobe (Photoshop, Illustrator, first, After Effects and hearing), Avid Media Composer 6 and Davinci resolve 9 Lite on my system. I read different configuration of hard disk including those who posted ham. Until now, I was using just a hard disk for all. I know it's bad. I never had the money. But now I do. Here's how I think it should be like and it is very similar to the mentioned by Ham 3 disk configuration.

  500GB 7200 RPM for C: (operating system, programs, swap files, various stuff like documents, etc.)

  1 TB 7200 RPM for D: (Media files and projects)

  500 GB 7200 RPM for E: (exports, previews and Cache)

  I can't afford a raid drive because I want a Raid 5 and it is clearly out of my budget. I'll get one as soon as I can. Now I have a desktop computer. I thought I had the media player to be outside with a good pregnant with a heat sink and a fan. I have an eSata, USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 port. I will continue the other drives internally and keep the drive to external media due to heat problems. Is this the right way or I should have all the disks internally? I have a good and a ventilated housing. Its the HAF 922 with coolant (Corsair H60) for the CPU. Please help me. You guys thanking in advance.

  I would use for an external eSATA, since it the fastest connection available on your desktop, but an alternative would be to use in-house and save on housing, with no performance penalty. The willing HAF 922 of refrigerating power enough to handle the extra drive is internal.

• Satellite A100 PSAA2E Setup hangs after connecting new HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a problem with TOSHIBA Satellite A100 PSAA2E (3 year old laptop)
  I bought the new SAMSUNG SPINPOINT 250 GB SATA (model HM250JI) hard drive.

  After connection, the computer hangs on the first screen. I can't access the BIOS Setup (press F2)
  I can't boot the CD of form (I can't select same drive to start by pressing F12)

  It just hangs.

  When the HARD drive is unplugged I can access the configuration of the BIOS or boot from CD. When the original hard drive (FUJITSU 40BG) is connected, everything is ok.

  I updated the BIOS to version 1.5 to the a more recent 2.6, but it did not help.

  HARD drive runs under windows xp, when connected by USB port. It is formatted with NTFS: a primary partition(15GB), a stretch with two logical partitions (20BG, GB 215).

  You have no idea where could be the problem?
  Should I format hard drive in a different way?

  BR,

  hosss

  Hello

  Check if your new HARD drive has been fitted with a small jumper that controls the master/slave/c-salt settings.

  A friend of mine bought a new HARD drive and BIOS didn't recognize because the rider has been set to the wrong position.

  Good bye

• Satellite L300 - Win XP Setup cannot find hard drive

  My Satellite came with vista installed. No disc Toshiba down grade to XP. When you try to run the installer, he comes back with the program Setup cannot find the hard drive connected to this computer, make sure power is connected etc. It doesn't matter if I delete the vista partition or not.

  I copied the XP cd to the hard drive, but here the Installer gives blocked application because the current version is newer than the version you want to install. (not verbatim) Vista and both are my precious new copy of XP Home SP3 OEM. If anyone can help... PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

• Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware of this computer Installation error on the new hard drive

  Okay so if please bear with me and be patient.  I'm not tech savvy.  I know enough to be able to remove an old hard drive and put another one, but when there are errors, I don't know what to do.

  Here's the situation.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS with Windows 7 installed.  I started having these notifications that my hard drive could be a failure.  I tried everything that I could find to fix it without having to buy a new HARD drive without success.  The current system has a 1 TB Seagate hard drive.  I installed a memory additional bar thingie right after that I got the computer about 4 years ago.  (If someone tells me how to find the properties of real system, I post them if necessary).  Anyway, I bought a new WD 1 TB black disk hard to install before my old dies and loses all my photos and documents, etc...

  I took the old drive yesterday and installed the new hard drive.  I put back the case and turned on the machine.  I put in my Windows 7 installation disc.  He began installing Windows 7... It's completely past the initial screen where it says it to load it and the other... I had accepted the license agreement, but did not have to make a profile and do the work and the reader.  I hope all this makes sense.  Then it pops up this message "installing Windows could not set up Windows on hardware on this computer."  I couldn't figure out what to do from there.  I got the new drive and put the old one back to and here I am. I tried to find solutions to this problem, but I either don't can't make heads or tails out of the responses on the internet or the solution is not exactly my problem.

  Please help if you can!  And if you have any suggestions, please dumb them down so I can understand what to do.  I CAN do if loaded, you just have to not talk too irritable.  Laughing out loud

  Thank you in advance!

  Maybe not...

  The Windows installation is not happy about something, and since it gets at least started which is a good thing, but your installation problem can not really be with Windows - perhaps something about Dell hardware or your 1 TB HARD drive.

  I looked at your system and found this article that you can read to see if it sounds like your original question:

  Windows Setup could not configure Windows on hardware on this computer.

  http://www.Dell.com/support/article/us/en/19/SLN293812/en

  Since Dell has written an article for help on this subject, it means they've met enough times to take the time to compose the article and put it on their WWW site (but, they say, it is a possible resolution).

  Could you take the issue in the Dell online community where experts hang out (especially your amber light).

  Another good place for support is www.bleepingcomputer.com where there is a similar topic as your question (except Vista) on a Dell and a new disk of 1 TB (also a Seagate) and Dell ideas did not work, but someone else has found a way to fix it:

  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/t/453378/installation-fails-to-complete-on-new-HDD/

  The bleepingcomputer for your error message search reveals other areas and people who have got things to work in different ways, then it is perhaps another place to look for ideas.

  If the installation still fails it would not hurt to do the BIOS setting and see if things are getting longer, and since you are going to write the current settings before proceeding with the adjustment you can always cancel the adjustment if things get worse.

• Windows 10 will change my current setup of the operating system on files on the SSD HARD drive and program/user?

  Way back when I upgraded my main drive to a SSD, I used the following to put all the files of program/user on my HARD drive.  My questions are:

  1. What are replaced to the default settings?

  2. If so, what measures are needed to reach my current setup?

  d:\Users d:\ProgramData

  I would advise against using a script that in the beginning, because some people have had the tough get windows to read files that are not where they are supposed to be.

  For applications and other personal files, 10 Windows offers a similar feature in the settings.

  

  Program files (and the similar system attributes) should probably be intact until the symbolic links (which redirect Windows when he tries to find the file) running again. The application of this article did not work because Windows 7 was new, and equivalents of the command prompt (how I got to this topic) do not work.

  http://www.PCAdvisor.co.UK/how-to/Windows/how-install-software-second-hard-drive-move-program-files-folder-in-Windows-3500581/

  If you go for an upgrade, instead of a clean install, I would consider coming back from these changes to avoid damage or errors during the transition.

• Lightroom - Initial Drive Setup (work out of an external HARD drive)

  I am very new to Adobe Lightroom; It caught my attention recently as an ideal method to keep all my huge photo libraries organized and in one place, easy to use and locate, as well as to give me great abilities to edit, export, etc. etc. I'm running the trial for now, just to play and I love the software. Before you begin to enter too and import my hundreds of GB of photos in the trial version, I thought I should wait until I bought the lot and maybe reformatted my MacBook to start with this new piece of equipment.

  My question is: can I use Lightroom from an external hard drive with ease that is have all my hundreds of GB of photo files on the hard drive with file LR if it takes a lot of space, so whenever I use it, I plug the HDD external, if necessary. Another quick question, is the file than Lightroom use (recording, projects, previews, etc.) take up a lot of space, or would it be better to run my Lightroom off internal drive 120 GB of my MacBook and my photo on the outside files?

  
  In addition, there are many differences between Lightroom 6 and the new CC with the monthly subscription version. I really hate the idea of paying every month forever, would much rather pay a single fee of £100.00.

  The ultimate goal is to speed up my Mac and leave enough free space on drive HARD single internal of my MacBook, as well as presenting all my photos easily accessible for manipulation in one place (on my external 2 TB HDD).

  All advice or recommendations for the initial setup of the directories before me forking out fresh 12:00 would be well appreciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  I thought that I should wait until I bought the lot and maybe reformatted my MacBook to start with this new piece of equipment.

  It's really up to you. I think that it is optional, there is no reason to wait until you have made the purchase, and similarly, there is not reason to reformat your MacBook pro just for the benefit of Lightroom (you can have other reasons that may require a reformat...)

  My question is: can I use Lightroom from an external hard drive with ease that is have all my hundreds of GB of photo files on the hard drive with file LR if it takes a lot of space, so whenever I use it, I plug the HDD external, if necessary.

  Yes, keep the pictures on the external HD won't put on the first internal, then move them later.

  Another quick question, is the file than Lightroom use (recording, projects, previews, etc.) take up a lot of space, or would it be better to run my Lightroom off internal drive 120 GB of my MacBook and my photo on the outside files?

  Lightroom Catalog and previews can occupy a large amount of the 120 GB internal disk, you can put them on an external drive as well, but there could be a drop in performance when you perform this operation.

  In addition, there are many differences between Lightroom 6 and the new CC with the monthly subscription version. I really hate the idea of paying every month forever, would much rather pay a single fee of £100.00.

  The remarkable differences (not a complete list)

  • LR CC comes with CC Photoshop and Lightroom for mobile; LR 6 doesn't have a CC of Photoshop or Lightroom Mobile.
  • LR CC has features that LR 6 does not work: dehaze, local black and white adjustments, border chain, vertical adjustments guided...

• Non-accessible HARD drive is setup installation of Windows XP on my laptop

  Hello

  I have my 144TU Compaq Presario CQ40 (Intel C2D T5800, 160 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM).
  I have installed XP using a customized bootable XP to support SATA drivers using nLite.
  I use the same CD custom in this slot the entire post, so the problem of SATA not supported by XP is elimintated.
  I also setup a ubuntu installation I've ever used.
  I had a dual boot on my system with Windows XP Pro and Linux Ubuntu, last week I tried to delete the partitions of Ubuntu from Win XP computer management window. The system got hanged and I did a force close. When the computer reboots, the system hangs after a few minutes on the desktop. After several restarts (force) the OS is not boot at all. When I tried to do a formatting the OS drive and delete the Linux partitions using the XP bootable CD, the installation XP is unable to access the disk hard and don't show any of the logical drives as well as readers of Linux. The box which offers the list of the installed OS and their readers is to give a message that cannot access/mutual HARD drive.
  By mistake, I think I can have deleted the partition that had the top MBR. (I'm sure I didn't want to remove the disk from the operating system. I tried to remove the drive that was on display as unallocated (ubuntu leads usually shows as unallocated)).
  I tried the fixmbr command in the XP Recovery console, but it says that the drive we are trying to access is not available.
  I tried to use a mini Windows XP live CD (Hirens Bootable CD), which had an option to scan the HARD drive and find partitions.
  The HARD disk is scanned and my 2 XP partitions are located. It gives me the possibility to mount the partitions on the XP mini.
  I mounted the partitions and my 2 XP disks are intact. I think that there is a problem when accessing the HARD drive to the start-up level.
  Help, please.

  Thank you
  Gordon

  Ok...

  That's what I did.

  I was much concerned of my HARD drive to my data.

  So I unplugged my laptop HARD drive and carried it on the desk of a friend who had a SATA port.

  Plugged here and thank God it was detected, deleted all partitions and did a full format of the HARD drive.

  Fresh made 3 partitions and plugged the HARD drive into my laptop and installed WinXP which was a success.

  Kind regards

• Setup did not find any hard drives installed in my computer

  HI -.

  I own a laptop Presario X1015US and recently bought a new hard drive for her (Western Digital Scorpio Blue PATA 160 GB) but when I insert the operating system CD it goes through the entire process until it gets to a page where it says:

  Family Windows XP Setup

  
  

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer.

  
  

  Make sure that the hard disks are turned on and properly connectd to your computer, and that any hardware configuration of the drives is correct. This may involve a diagnosis provided by the manufacturer or the installer running.

  
  

  Setup cannot continue.  To quit Setup, press F3.

  I'm not sure of what I am doing wrong and hope someone can help me.  For example -.

  -J' checked the Bios and I do not see where the drive sits - have I missed something?

  -The drive I bought compatible for this model - electronic Fry told me that it is.

  Thank you

  Charles

  If the bios does not see it, installing XP will ever either.

  Some older laptops have a problem with the largest hard disks (more), I return the drive and see if they have a 120 GB model.

  Can also be that you just got a bad.

• Windows XP Setup cannot find hard drive

  Running VMWare Fusion 2.01 (128865).

  I'm doing a repair of my installation of Windows XP Service Pack 3 on the VM.  I am able to boot from the CD and start the Windows Setup successfully.

  However, installing Windows says it is unable to find a hard drive and cannot continue.

  When I hit F3 and restart the computer, the virtual machine load XP on the virtual hard disk as before.

  How can I get the Windows installation to recognize my virtual hard disk and do a repair?

  Take a look at the following...

  If the virtual machine was created using Windows Installer Easy or has a VMware SCSI virtual hard disk, you must download the Drivers SCSI VMware and select the file vmscsi - 1.2.0.4.flp like the floppy drive of the virtual machine in the Virtual Machine settings sheet of the target. This disk image contains the necessary VMware SCSI disk drivers when booting with the Windows XP CD and you will need to press F6 when it says "press F6 if you need to install...". "at the bottom of the Virtual Machine window and it will then invite the driver after he continues to load additional files. Just follow the guests.

  BTW you may need to press the Fn + F6 etc. and this can be changed in system preferences > keyboard & mouse > keyboard > use all F1, F2, etc...

  If the Virtual Machine is not initiating the CD/DVD or ISO Image, and then select the CD-ROM in the Boot Menu.

  Engage the Boot Menu and select the CD-ROM drive...

  The bottom of the virtual machine just above the status bar after the Virtual Machine is started, it has...

  "Press F2 to enter SETUP, F12 for the start-up network, ESC for Boot Menu"

  On the status bar, it features...

  'To direct entry to this virtual machine, click inside the window.'

  BIOS flashing by is very fast so you need to work quickly however give it a try and if the Start Menu cannot be higher then the configuration of the Virtual Machine file .vmx must be edited to slow the STATION and or change the boot order.

  OK, click the big Play button on the screen of the virtual machine, and then quickly mouse click in the Virtual Machine screen and then press the ESC key to bring up the Start Menu and select the CD-ROM drive. If it boots the CD very well and if the Boot Menu does not appear, because he goes just to quick access and then try again or...

  Watch the Boot Delay section in the current user's Guide to VMware Fusion and the section of the virtual machine files of A Beginner's Guide to VMware Fusion on when the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file is and add the following lines to the file. TextEdit can be used to edit the .vmx file.

  To give more time to indulge, the Start Menu Add the following...

  bios.bootDelay = "3000".

  For, once, force the VM in the BIOS to change the Boot order in the BIOS if the CD-ROM is first add the following...

  bios.forceSetupOnce = 'TRUE '.

  Note: by default in the normal Fusion 1.x virtual Fusion function file are created in the folder "~/Documents/Virtual Machines" and according to host operating system version and or Fusion worm. There may be a .localized after Virtual Machines although by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  ~ Is your Home Directory.

  The files that make up the virtual machine are placed in a folder (aka Bundle and or packing) bearing the extension '.vmwarevm' which, by default, this extension is not visible in the Finder.

  Example: "~/Documents/Virtual XP.vmwarevm Machines/Windows" in the Finder would just resemble an icon named "Windows XP."

  To view the contents of the entire file "Windows XP.vmwarevm" ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP" icon and select Show the contents of the package.

  To change the configuration file of .vmx ctrl-click (or right-click) on the "Windows XP.vmx" file and select open with > choose another... then in Application choose TextEdit.

  Note: If you use Firefox do not copy and paste the parameters if TextEdit unless you copy only the exact line and nothing else in the case, use an editor such as TextWrangler.

  Also...

  When you use utility disk in order to have a bootable ISO Image, you must select Master CD/DVD without encryption in which case by default, it will have an extension .cdr file and in version 1.1 of the merger and later does not need to be changed in .iso, although one can if one chooses to. A default .dmg image is compressed and is not bootable, as an uncompressed .dmg will start if changed in .iso and of course the source CD/DVD should be bootable in the first place.

  To create an ISO Image using disk utility...

  1 insert the CD or DVD disc into the optical drive of your computer.

  2. open disk utility (/ Applications/Utilities/Disk utility).

  3. Select the CD or DVD drive in the list of disks and volumes.

  4. Choose file > new > "Disk Image from (name of the disc)."

  5. type a name for the disk image.

  6. choose "DVD/CD master" from the Image Format pop-up menu.

  7 choose "none" from the encryption pop-up menu.

  8. click on save.

  Also...

  Take a look on: VMware Fusion menu bar > help > VMware Fusion help > manage virtual machine > configure the CD/DVD drive

• P200-rt7 but Win XP Setup cannot find hard drive

  Hi, try to install xp on my Toshiba p200-rt7 and xp says it cannot find my hard drive. If I launch the install of vista dvd he finds it so I think I need to hit F6 during the xp installation and select "third-party drivers? If Yes, where can I get these drivers? If anyone can help?

  Installing a version commercial (street copy) of Windows XP on a Toshiba Vista laptop.
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Step 1: Prepare the BIOS
  -Go to section Support/Drivers on the Toshiba site and look for your model of Toshiba
  -If your phone has a separate version of BIOS for XP and Vista, download the BIOS XP and run it in Windows.
  -If you cannot start Windows, you can update the BIOS after installing XP.

  Step 2: Enable SATA Compatibility Mode in the BIOS
  -If installing XP cannot detect SATA drive, enable SATA Compatibility Mode in BIOS if this option is available and install XP.

  Step 3: Install XP using a floppy with the SATA drivers
  -If SATA compatibility mode is not available, you must use the SATA drivers diskette during installation of XP. Follow these steps:

  (1) Download driver Windows XP SATA F6 on the site of Toshiba Support/downloads.
  If a single SATA/AHCI F6 driver is unavailable, download and extract the Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver for XP in a temporary folder.
  The Intel Matrix Storage Manager driver package must contain some files under the folder "F6flpy". For example: C:\temp\Intel Matrix Storage Manager\F6flpy\ICH8M_32bit
  Choose the right folder. For example: ICH8M_32bit for a Chipset of Intel ICH8 during installation of Windows XP 32-bit.

  (2) copy these files (iastor.inf, etc.) on a blank diskette. The files must reside in the root directory of the floppy disk.
  For example: A:\iastor.inf, A:\iaahci.inf, etc...

  (3) connect a Toshiba USB floppy drive to the Toshiba laptop. (some non - Toshiba USB Floppy Drives may not work correctly during the installation of XP)

  (4) (4) demarrer start from the Windows XP CD, start the installation and make sure that your floppy with the drivers is inserted into the floppy USB drive.

  (5) for the XP installation invites you to press F6 to install a storage driver, immediately press F6.

  (6) for installing XP you invites to select a SATA driver, select the appropriate driver and continue.
  For example: ICH7M Intel(r) 82801GBM SATA AHCI Controller, Intel(r) ICH8M 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI Controller

  (7) keep the attached floppy drive and floppy disk inserted XP has not completed its installation.
  Do not partition or format the hard drive during the installation of XP. The diskette SATA drivers are copied and stored on the hard drive during the installation of XP.
