• Need help to add hard drives

  So here's what I have... Windows 7 - & gt; VMware Server 2.0 - & gt; Windows Home Server virtual machine

  Trying to add additional hard disks, see just plugged and windows 7 (host), but when I try to add a drive to the virtual computer it shows me only the available pool from the original hard drive... Im sure that I add these drives to the host via the applet web but just can't figure out how? If anyone can help... thx!

  Looks like you need to add a new data store to take advantage of the space on these new readers. Ensure that any data store that you add is available when the VMware services beginning, like at the start, especially if you have virtual computers autostart stored on them.

• Big problem! Need help! Possible hard drive failure

  I'm scared, I just lost all my photos & videos of my kids (and everything that was on my computer, music, etc.). I have Windows XP.  Since this morning, I had about 20-25 icons of programs on my main screen.  I have been using the Internet and a big box of Windows Recovery appears.  My main screen turned black & all my programs are gone (Microsoft Works, Itunes, all that) with the exception of Internet Explorer & basket (which was empty).   The box of Windows Recovery says that there are 5 errors & had to be fixed immediately.  When he would give me the possibility to activate a recovery program, as I buy, it wouldn't let me go further (I would like to purchase-click & we would say that my was not connected to the internet, which has been (I continued to check).)  There was also a small box near the bottom of the screen saying that there are clusters of hard drive (or something?) detected & my personal data were at risk.    When I go to the start menu & click on my pictures or my music there is nothing there.  I'm panicking.  I started to save the pictures on disks but wasn't anywhere close to saving them all.  Someone please tell me there's a way to save files after a hard disk is perhaps out of service.

  Hello

  That s just to change the BIOS settings in the BIOS!
  I think that the BIOS settings are placed in the last page of the BIOS (3).

  Try setting the 1RAID-0 on the first HARD disk and the 2RAID-0 the second HARD disk.

  It worked well on my laptop.

  By the way; information on the RAID configuration found in the user manual.

  Have a nice day ;)

• I have a HDD with Win 7, but plan on building a new PC. Is there a way to use this HARD drive to get an upgrade, or do I need a new OEM?

  I am trying to decide between getting Zorin OS or Windows 8, but it feels like a bit of a RIP-OFF than a duty pay $70 more for the System Builder version.  If I transfer this hard drive to a new computer, would I be able to use the upgrade?  Is to use an upgrade from the old Windows 7 PC to a new one without OS anyway?

  The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

  -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

  -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

  -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

  -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

  What is OEM software? :

  Licensing FAQ:

  http://www.Microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/sblicensing/pages/licensing_faq.aspx

  You will need to invest in a new license, as Windows 8 OEM System Builder License shall exercise the rights of transfer, its quite a good deal.

  There is no full retail version of Windows 8. If you need a full version, you will need to purchase the Pro OEM Windows 8 of new eggs. To do this, install an own custom.

• I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.

  I need help, find how to install Windows Vista on a HP Pavilion 6475z disk.   I had to replace the hard drive, so he has nothing about it and I added more ram, but I replace the cd player so it is not yet installed on the HP.   So I was wondering if I could put the installation disc in my laptop cd/dvd and connect computers by usb ports and install it this way and if not how can I?
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  You are welcome

  If the CD/DVD drive in the works of PC Gateway, you can (at least temporarily) remove it and install it in the HP, you can run your recovery disc and reinstall Vista.  Once everything is running on the HP, you can always remove the CD/DVD drive and reinstall it in the gateway PC if you wish.

  Kind regards

• Windows CD can not find installed hard drives

  I have a PC that has windows XP installed and worked well and I have DSL so I kept it updated. It has been updated for the updates. It was a month that it seemed hung on a windows update and I've finally powered down to exit the update mode. After that, he would finally in XP but would not other that the busy when an icon is clicked. I decided to reload XP using the same CD I used originally when I built PC. It will load the drivers to install XP, but when installing windows is selected it says no hard drives found. When booting 2 HARD disks are displayed, but are not detected when you look in the BIOS. I've tried changes in the BIOS as auto detect HDD including default BIOS and not go. I remembered to change a partition using Partition magic 8.0 and decided that might be the problem, so I started in the magic of partition and formatted part C of the HDD in NTFS, but the results are the same. Any suggestion is appreciated. TIA

  Do you mean you see a message like this?

  Setup did not find any hard drives installed in your computer. Make sure that the hard drives are powered on and properly connected 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.

  If the disks are not appearing in BIOS, it seems unlikely that XP will be able to see them no more.

  Describe the best you can, your hard disk configuration...  IDE, SATA, SCSI, RAID configurations...

  You build the hardware yourself or is it a system store bought?

  Are you able to determine when the system turns on, the brand and model of your motherboard and the BIOS it is running?

  Without more information, I can only offers these general reflections where to search:

  When you see a message like this, obviously the XP installation starts to load, but then when the installation program needs to go out and find your hard drive is not find the hard drive.  It means not necessarily your hard drive is defective and if it worked before, it's probably still plugged.  It simply means that the installation of XP is not able to find it.

  Looks like you need enter the BIOS on your system by pressing the 'Delete', F2, F10 or F12 key (what the key is good for your system), find the section where the types of hard disks and hard disk interfaces are configured and temporarily change the setting so the XP installation is able to find the hard drive.

  Where to find the accommodation and how to change depends on your system manufacturer and the version of the BIOS, so you end up having to look at her.  If you know your system brand and model, we can probably help you find a job.

  You must locate and change the interface mode to your hard drive in the BIOS so that when installing XP loading, it will be able to locate the hard drive.

  Before making adjustments, you should take note of what are the current BIOS settings, so you can change when you are finished.

  The adjustment varies so here are some examples that I have accumulated:

  The adjustment is done in the BIOS and could be in Integrated Peripherals, Configuration of SATA, SATA Mode device.  After you make the changes, save them and restart your XP installation program.

  If you find that the mode is set on the RAID/SATA mode, change the IDE mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI, change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to AHCI emulation Mode, change the IDE emulation mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA, SATA mode off or change the ATA mode.

  If you find that the mode is set to SATA Native Mode, disable the native SATA Mode.

  If you find that the mode is set on AHCI/RAID Autodetect, change the combination mode.

  If find you the setting that works for you, I would like to know what it is so I can add it to my notes.

  Do, or do not. There is no test.

• Satellite L305D S5895: Win 7 cannot find the HARD drive or cannot format the HARD drive on a clean install

  I have laptop Satellite L305D S5895 of the customer. It was delivered to me by the customer who tried to install Windows XP Pro, Vista and none would install.
  He said he tried all the CD that he had finally dropped on it and delivered it to me installation.

  When I got the score have been removed, so I tried to install Win 7 and when I do a custom install, I get an error indicating that the hard drive can not be formatted on disk 0 or it will give an error that no hard drives have been found.

  I have reset the bios default and no matter what I do, it won't format or find the hard drive. I was going to upgrade the bios, but the only way I found to upgrade the bios is once windows is installed.

  Everyone has ideas about this laptop so I can get a system installed. I checked the bios and there is no parameters for a sata, raid or IDE disk drive, so it seems that this version cannot be changed.

  Thanks for anyone who can help you.

  Hello

  First of all it is an American notebook series.

  The laptop supports a processor AMD and ATI chipset.
  This means that the drivers SATA is part of the ATI graphics card driver.

  You must include the first SATA driver in order to install the Windows operating system.
  You could add the SATA driver for the Windows disk using software like nLite / vLite

• 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.

  You will find the site of esupport , HARD drive installation instructions... BTW, you need to use a recovery for the new HARD drive disk
