I'm really stuck on how to back up my portable hard drive on a hard disk
Can someone help me with a step by step guide on how to backup my entire hard drive on the new device?
I assumed that the new software could explain what to do, but it doesn't. I thought that there is a way faster than the transfer of files individually.
Any help greatly appreciated - thanks.
To be honest I n don't know what you want to do exactly?
What do you save? Your stuff private pictures, movies and so on or what?

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...
- The platters inside are deteriorating to the point where they are no more able to maintain the structure of the sector/cluster.
- 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...

Suppose that I'm leaving WinXP hostOS a guestOS. Then a part of this guestOS remain in physical memory and another part is deployed on hard drive in the swap file resp swap partition.
First question: the complete *.vmdk loaded into memory/swap space or only the part that is currently required?
Perhaps only a *.vmdk 800 MB / 3GB is really responsible. But these 800 MB could be extended to 2 GB, because the content of these 800 MB is not compressed during load or guestOS drivers allocate additional memory.
*. VMDK size seems so NO indicator for the actual amount of used memory / swap.
How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?

The vmdk is not loaded into memory, because it is the drive of the virtual machine.

Yes, of course not. The memory used by the client is not related to the size of hard but the RAM assigned in the options of hardware reviews.
How will I know how much physical (a) memory and (b) the hard disk swap space EXACTLY is currently occupied by a certain virtual machine running?
Open the Task Manager and find a task vmware - vmx.exe or vmware-vmx - debug.exe.
The swap file should be used if you have chosen to allow that VMware Workstation is authorized to Exchange. The file where swaps to door expansion .vmem Workstation. Search folder of comments.

How to change the application installed HARD disk?
My PC following setting:
C: is for Window XP OS
D: is installed application
because the disc is not enough space and need to buy a new SATA III HARD disk after formatting under drive Z:
I copy everything in D: z: readers and I would exchange the disks for the following parameter:
D: old drive will become Z: drive for backup
Z: old disk will become D: drive for installed application, because many applications and installed adjustment use the D: drive for application, so I'd like to preserve the D: drive for application, but I get no idea on how to swap the disks.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions

How to recover files from the hard disk recovery partition?
There are recovery (D) on the hard disk. How can I recover all my old files and programs of this drive?
Original title: I changed from Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 operating systems.
Hello sdf361,
The recovery partition, that is what you would use to restore your computer when you bought it with the OS on it
that was pre-installed. It is not your old programs and data on it. You will need to backup your data to restore and install
your programs since the original installation discs.If you do not have the program disk, I suggest that the manufacturer of the computer.
Sincerely,
Marilyn

How to back up to external hard drive using time machine
I just bought a new drive external toshiba with 500 GB of memory. When I tried to back up my computer last night through a time machine, I thought that it worked, but when I woke up this morning, time machine told me that my oldest and the most recent backup is none which means that it does not cross. I tried again this morning but after hitting "back up now" time machine prepares the backup, and then start it, giving me a ridiculously ETA such a 15 hours, then never completely complete the back which is really confusing so I do not know what to do.
Did you partition and format your new drive before using it? What version of Mac OS X? See use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support and that Mac Basics-Time Machine backs up your Mac. Visit Time Machine FAQ of Pondini helps with Time Machine. It is a vast site with almost everything that you need for using Time Machine. You will not find a better resource for Time Machine in one place. Due to the disappearance of James Pondini, the site is is no longer updated. Therefore, some information may be somewhat outdated.

Satellite P300 - 18 M: how reinstal Vista after repair the HARD disk
Hello
A month ago my laptop has suffered a critical failure of hard drive. So I sent in under warranty and it come back a day or two ago. With him a piece of paper stating that I have to reinstall windows in bold, yet windows (Vista) originally came with it (without a cd or a dvd if I remember correctly).
I thought I was going to see the same installation process of windows the manual tells me to go through that when I arrived to the laptop, instead, I get a black screen back apparently under windows 98 (?) with "C:\ > ' ask me for an order or a file.
So yes, I'm completely lost.
Thanks for any help in advance.> more windows (Vista) came originally with it (without a cd or a dvd if I remember correctly
You are right. But the laptop came with the option of disk recovery HARD and with a GREAT recovery disc creation notification using the preinstalled Toshiba Recovery disc creator.So if you didn't create the recovery disc then you would not be able to install Vista again. :(mais autant que je sais que vous pouvez commander un Recovery disk (pour tous ceux qui ne l t créer une disquette de récupération propre) from here):

How to: Retrieve data on a hard disk of laptop after screen went kaput
Original title: my computer screen dell laptop went kaput can I connect my laptop it to my office to recover files etc my computer laptop OS is vista and my office windows 7?
I have a dell laptop where the screen is dead? I connected to an external display of phillips, who worked for awhile, but which has now gone empty as well.
How can I transfer files etc. to my desktop from the laptop? the operating system vista laptop and the pc is windows 7.
Any help would be appreciated.
Hello frechjohn,
Your best bet to solve this will probably be in getting a USB drive cage to put laptop hard drive. Once this is done, you can plug the USB cable into your desktop computer and browse the structure of folders and files on the drive of the laptop.
You can find these stores to the hardware of the computer.
Best regards
