HSF USB + hard disk Partition data damaged

I have a USB to disk 2 used for all my data. I accidentally fell Lion Recovery Disk Wizard in this regard, instead of my USB, to make a bootable installation. Now, I can't mount the drive.

Output:diskutil list

/dev/disk4 (external, physical): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme *2.0 TB disk4 

I also have a disk faulty 1 TB, and ideally it should show as:

/dev/disk7 (disk image): #: TYPE NAME SIZE IDENTIFIER 0: GUID_partition_scheme +998.1 GB disk7 1: EFI EFI 209.7 MB disk7s1 2: Apple_HFS Time Machine Backups 997.7 GB disk7s2 

I am missing 2 partitions, is there anyway I can fix it the structure of partition?

I tried TestDisk, Assistant data and drill to drive, but nothing did.

Try to repair the partitions with Disk Warrior. If your partitions are repaired successfully, then your drive is saved along with the data inside. The only problem is Disk Warrior allows a free demonstration test.

I hope this helps!

  • How to make a visible USB hard disk for a virtual machine on ESXI 4.1?

    Hi all

    As I am new to the world of vmware ESXI, I always make mistakes or I don't undertand all therefore be complete :-).

    So I have a HP Proliant ML 350 G6 Server installed with ESXI 4.1 and I want to connect a USB hard disk to a virtual machine (SBS 2K 8). Currently, the virtual machine is not able to see the hard drive.

    I already add a USB controller to the virtual machine, but my USB HARD drive is still not visible to my virtual machine.

    Can you help on that?

    Thank you

    Michael

    Next, add a USB device to the virtual computer (in the change settings tab), there are different things, USB controller and USB devices. Sometimes, you may have to restart the virtual machine.

  • Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

    I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

    How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

    Any help is very welcome!

    Problem with the recovery process, contact Dell at the link above.

    It's recovery process from Dell, NOT Microsoft.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Try this to save your data:

    Data recovery:

    1. slave of your hard drive in another computer and read/save your data out there.

    2. put your Hard drive in a USB hard drive case, plug it into another computer and read/save from there.

    3 Alternatively, use Knoppix Live CD to recover data:

    http://www.Knopper.NET/Knoppix/index-en.html

    Download/save the file Knoppix Live CD ISO above.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm

    Download the Vista software from the link above.

    After installing above ISO burning software, right click on the Knoppix ISO file > copy the Image to a CD.

    Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

    Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1st in the boot order.

    Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

    When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

    Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

    Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

    Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

    See you soon...

  • Satellite A200 - Question on RAM and HARD disk partitions

    Maybe it's in the wrong section... I do not know.

    I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).

    The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 in fat32, so data is available for both)

    Now I wonder what data should I keep these readers. There is a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive that seems to have the drivers and such, some wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the WinRE called D: drive which has a kind of sdi and wim files.

    Another question, if I buy the 2 GB that is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200 - 28 p)
    Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700]
    It will match the 2 GB already in the laptop? It will void the warranty anyway?

    Hello

    > I've never owned an OEM operating system and I do not understand why the HARD disk is partitioned, 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
    I assume you are using Vista.
    The 2 GB partition is a hidden partition which contains the data and the backup files in Vista. This partition will be automatically created during the installation of Vista.

    On the other partition 90GB.
    Well, this partition (partition of data) can be used to store files such as photos, movies, personal documents, etc. it s always recommended to partition a large HDD in more partition. This improves performance because the OS can access files much faster.

    Of course, you can change the size of the partitions. In Vista, you can change this in disk management.

    Regarding the upgrade of RAM;
    The laptop seems to supports the Intel® PM965 chipset and it manages 4 GB of RAM. It seems that you could use a 2 GB of RAM in one slot.

  • Satellite P300 - question about HARD Disk Partition

    Hello.

    I just bought a P300-1 Satellite has very nice portable 8. Everything has been restored to the original state. The thing is, I'm sure someone has resized the partition of HARD drive on the disk "D". It has a 160 GB hard drive, but the "D" drive is showing only 54 GB. I would like to reduce the size to give me maximum space on the 'C' drive but worried that it might affect the "HDD Recovery" folder that exists on this subject.

    Any help asap would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you very much

    Create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator tool. After doing this, you can do with disk partitions you want.
    One day, if you want to reinstall Vista and have the factory settings, you can use this created DVD facilities.

    Please note: before installation of Vista drive HARD whole lance and ancient structure of the partitions is deleted. Data back up are required.

  • HARD disk partition

    I bought Dell inspiron 5547 with a hard disk of 1 TB with windows 8.1 but to manage my data I need three hard disk drives. so my questions are:

    1. What is the best way to divide still more the hard drive into two parts more for windows 8.1 has already been installed on the hard disk.
    2. Here are the disadvantages of this new division of the hard disk to the windows, applications or in the system it self.

    Please post the disk map produced by the Disk Manager for more information.

    No problem in principle. You can reduce the size of the partition to the OS (C:, Windows). This will leave unallocated space after the new partition to the OS. In this space, you can create additional data partitions.

    In principle, this can be done with Windows Disk Manager, although this program has restrictions to reduce the size of the partitions. If this concerns you, you can use another partition manager.

  • Dell XPS 8700 HARD disk partition

    Can someone tell me if the above is partitioned in C and D drives and their size. I currently own a XPS 8100 with 63 GB C (50 GB, BONE) and the 180 GB D drive. It is a great computer, but constantly running out of space on the C drive. It runs Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    Think to update on the 8700 but don't want to go down the same route. Could not get any sense on the Dell sales people.

    Hello

    About partitioning, Dell can't shrink or extend partition as it can end up losing data.

    However guests can use various 3rd party free software as "Partition manager" we relieve 'Partition Master' etc.

    Please search for free partitioning software hard disk in Google, you will find the top free software

    And 8700 XPS machines, the size varies according to the type of hard drive and the configuration you order with the PC.

    I want 2 partitions that I have and in fdisk I said 50% for each but it only shows 4GB each even though it says support big readers.

    Hello

    Did you use the FAT32 or NTFS?
    I use partition Magic 8 to do and to manage the partitions on the HARD disk.
    In my opinion, you should try this program. I think that using the PM8 you will get the total size of the HARD drive.

  • The Vixia HF G30 allows a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard disk

    I am considering buying a G30 and need to know if she will allow a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard drive.  The manual is not clear on this point.

    Not to my knowledge (I own a G30 HF).  There is no present on-the-go USB functionality.

    Personally, I do not miss such a feature, because it causes all kinds of compatibility problems, especially with regard to the power of external USB hard drives. In addition, without any file manager, backup of your video files into a nightmare. I must admit that I am rather Cannon after not on an often incomplete function development budget and have it spent instead on the main features of the camera, such as optics. Of course, this is just my very subjective opinion, and other HF G30 clients may have different opinions on this.

    In order to back up my video files on the fly and without having to carry a laptop, I recently bought a made by Hanso Hyperdrive colorspace UDMA2 and installed a 1 TB in her drive. When on the ground and after having taken my shots I just pop in my inside SD cards and the device of copies on the video files to 17Mbyte per second. At home, I plug in the UDMA2 in my Linux video workstation using a regular USB cable and pull the video from the mobile disk. The UDMA2 also did incremental backups and comes with a basic file manager. While it has a color screen, it can't play back video. It is a video and photo backup dedicated device, nothing more. But it does a decent job on exactly that.

  • System recovery HARD disk partition

    Hello

    I have an ASUS P50IJ laptop computer with a partition for operating system for most of my things (download, photos, etc.) and a DATA partition for the system recovery. I don't have that left a lot of space in the partition of the BONE (OS partition is about 75 GB of storage and DATA partition is approximately 209GB).

    I wonder just what is the purpose of the DATA partition. What is a point system stored in the recovery partition? IfI deleted data stored on this partition it would change anything on my laptop?

    If it's a system restore point, I don't use system restore not much, and if I create a system restore point, I always burn it to a CD. So if I deleted the DATA partition, I still would be able to run the system restore and use an image on a CD?

    I wonder just what is the purpose of the DATA partition.

    -> Partition data was created by the people who set up your machine.

    What is a point system stored in the recovery partition?

    -> Each partition uses its own folder to store its files from system restore.

    IfI deleted data stored on this partition it would change anything on my laptop?

    -> What data did you remove?

    If it's a system restore point...

    ->, You cannot move the system restore points. Windows will not let you.

    If I create a system restore point, I always burn it to a CD.

    -> Exactly how do you do that? You may be thinking of the Image system data?

    If it was my machine I would select one of the following methods:

    • Use the native Disk Manager or third-party disk manager to resize my partitions.
    • Use a single script to move my libraries (for example, My Documents, my music, etc.) for the data partition.
  • If I use the SSD to initiate the operating system and a hard disk of data what exactly will be the benefit of this end?

    Hello

    I would like to know if I use the SSD drive for the operating system boot and a hard drive for data. What will be the benefit of this effect,

    I know that SSDS starts much more quickly and reads and writes data faster.

    When I use the SSD for OS then my only wil advantage so I have faster from the OS, not more than

    but the reading and writing data wil either by the hard drive so I wil not use all the benefits of the SSD, data wil be read and written by hard drive!

    Am I right or wrong?

    Johan

    SSD benefits for most of the time of loading, and it is for all software. If you install Windows on a SSD and return to a HARD drive after a few weeks you will certainly appreciate the value of an SSD, just for the

    only the loading.

    While startup in Windows is the most obvious, the Windows advantage is usually a bit snappier

    on an SSD.

    An SSD expected to also help in many programs such as Photoshop, video editing, the processing speeds

    or CAD, due to data being created during the writing of these programs.

    I think the reads and writes more visible with large files.

    All my programs are on the SSD, but my games are on the HARD disk.

    Games to load a large number of data and will load faster on an SSD, but it's still a few seconds.

    and as games use a lot of Go, it is not really profitable to keep (150 +) on an SSD.

    -J' I keep most of my data, except the music (to save space) in my user folder, but haven't really

    noticed a difference in speed when opening a data file, such as a Word, PDF, images, or similar

    'small' files from the HARD drive.
    -I wouldn't take an SSD less 120 GB. Try to run Windows on a 60GB translate too

    stuffing autour with management of data between the SSD and HDD. In particular, as it should be

    keep 20% an SSD free to allow the two "garbage collection" and deliver a load of

    cells of extra memory to extend the life of the DSS (data gets moved to empty cells when the cells die).

    There is also a noticeable difference between the speeds of SATA2 and SATA 3 controller, so if your motherboard uses the SATA2 more the advantage of an SSD is not as great as with SATA3.

    In addition, the new SATA3 SSD controllers are faster than those of two years ago.

    SSD is a big enough topic. There are many items in the wild that may be useful.

  • How do you know if the hard disk controller is damaged or it does not work?

    Hello

    I would like to know how you can know if the hard disk controller is defect.  is there some tools for it or a way to test it.

    I have thouthg my self for a solution like this;

    -If I take the hard drive that is not working out pc and attach it to the speaker and the speaker set on a PC then I wil first hear the rotation of your drive hard so that when the PC wil recognizes the external hard drive as a hard disk and then the controller is OK, otherwise it means that the controller is damaged.

    . I know mechanical problems with a hard disk, they do some sounds when they turn.

    is the way I think it is the right way to know or there is much better way to find out if there is a problem with the hard disk controller.

    Thank you

    Johan

    Small circuit board is an interface for cables that sorts what is happening in the place where. It holds the drive buffer and it tells the computer what it is, i.e. drive, speed, brand, model, size etc.

    If you get an error of hard disk controller, it's a motherboard problem and there is no way to fix it.

    Hard drives fail for two reasons...

    1. The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
    2. The spindle motor breaks down.

    The part of a disk hard less likely to fail is the interface card, unless he is accidentally cut on the computer case or other metallic surface. If this short, you will know that the smoke resulting hard disk is acrid beggars belief. It is almost the only case where the interface will fail.

    Even when a hard drive is subjected to temperatures beyond its limits, the spindle motor bearings will fail way before anything else, that's why the vast majority of the disk hard total fails is obvious because there is no vibration of the engine.

    If a hard drive starts to cause problems, it is best to replace it because it will always get worse over time...
