• Hard drive 100% Windows 8 ALL THE TIME!

  Hi all

  My computer was working fine on Windows 8 and after that windows update setup it just crashed. When you open the Task Manager, he told me that the hard drive is ALWAYS 100% usage while I have no programs or processes running. I tried to restore windows from the beginning and now I have no programs, software antivirus, absolutely nothing installed and the problem persists.
  Appreciate your help, I'm desperate.

  Hello Daniel,.

  Thank you for your reply,

  There may be a possibility of some third-party programs running in the background causing the CPU usage to 100%. AutoRuns from Microsoft is a very complete tool that shows what programs are configured to run during system startup or login and shows treat you the Windows control inputs.

  I'd suggest to remove all yellow or red shaded entries that reads (file not found). Also, you can check Disable all non-essential programs of the AutoRun and allowing a identify the one that is causing this problem.

  Here is the link of the Windows AutoRuns tool:

• Destination area has VMware player 3.1.4. Not possible to run a newly created virtual machine.

  For the first time, I tried to virtualize my machine using VMware vCenter Converter Standalone. The destination machine has VMware Player installed 3.1.4, so I chose, as a destination having VMware 4.0.x instead of VMware 3.0.x as 3.1.4 overflows 3.0.x. The newly created virtual machine does not under VMware 3.1.4. Is there anyway out of this except can create an another VM using VMware player 3.0.x as the destination machine? Thank you.

  Then, you should be able to simply create a (empty) virtual machine with VMware Player 3.x and then just remove the blank virtual hard drive (hard files) and replace it with the one created with VMware vCenter Converter.

• Cannot open my virtual hard drive

  I tried to create a virtual hard drive, so that I can view and edit files from my backup of Windows from my hard drive.  I have a 'new virtual machine' installed, but when I opened this program, I get this message.  "No startup disk is specified. Although you can still boot from a floppy disk, it is recommended that you specify a startup disk. "I guess my question is" what? "No, seriously, how can I specify a startup disk?  And what start up disc can I specify?  And why is it so freaking hard?

  HAL,

  Thanks for the reply.  Now have the OS installed and working, just like having another computer.  But... I can't find a way to access my external hard drive with the Virtual Machine.  My external drive appears in Windows Explorer on the virtual computer.  Cannot get to recognize the external hard drive.  Any suggestions?

  Thank you

• Access denied when you access files from another computer created virtual hard disk

  Last week I decided to try to save my laptop XP using internal system Disk2VHD and saved the files on my new computer (64-bit) Windows 7 Pro.

  Two days ago I tried to boot up the laptop and it failed due to no power. Dead battery and does not work when it is connected. I think that the power connector and the motherboard have parted ways.
  Tonight, I tried to mount the virtual drive on Windows 7 system using the disk management to see if I could recover my files.
  I can mount the virtual hard drive, but when I navigate to certain directories, as one of the user profile directories, I'm greeted by the error message:
  [Window title]

  Admin

  [Main instruction]

  You don't have permission to access this folder.

  [Content]

  Click on continue to get permanent access to this folder.

  [Continue] [Cancel]

  The files I need are those of My Documents, but I can't access it.

  Is there a way to change the owner of the files or otherwise access? I have several years of financial information I need.

• Determine the unused space in the virtual hard drives

  I will determine the unused space in my virtual hard drives.  I want to:

If you have thousands of images, you want to index the results in a database rather than search the real-time file system.

• Restore the virtual hard drive backup on a different node with different IP and host name.

  Hi guys,.
  I want to do the following.
  
  My reliable backup strategy is the virtual hard drive backup. The database is installed on a virtual particulay machine (node). Now, I do not take the backup of the DBF files or control files or files from archive.
  I rely on the virtual hard disk backup. It takes the entire Virtual Machine backup. Now, I wanted to restore this virtual hard drive backup to a different node with different IP and host name.
  But before I start the database, there are some things I need to do.
  As change address IP address and the hostname registered with the database installed and its services.
  
  Please guide me through the steps on how to perform the activity.

  SOA admin.

  I think that the whole operating system will be restored in a new virtual machine... I have it... The changes will have to be done in the file listener.ora (hostname or IPADDRESS and also PORT NO in case you want another port as the existing one). Once you have made the changes that you have to bounce the listener, I mean stop and start the listener... I don't think that any other changes are needed... Make sure that the same need for entries (from the listener) to be included in the TNSNAMES file. ORA file both client-side... The tns service is used to connect to the remote database server (from the demand side or whatever source you used to connect to the database server)... I just think that the change to do... Hope its clear... Please try...

• Add hard drive VCSA 5.5 to the data store

  I do the jump for especially vsphere client of web & VCSA 5.5 to change settings on a virtual machine on a host in a data center. The host has 2 data warehouses. The virtual machine has 1 hard disk assigned to datastore1. I go to add HDD to VM but can't find where datastore2 go through them.

  Non-Web client Vsphere 5.1 has allowed the addition of material. The wizard showed a location-> specify a cluster datastore or datstore. And then go to datastore2.

  If you have any information leading to the resolution of this problem, I got thank you.

  PatrickAZ

  Patrick,

  First, to add a new disk to a computer virtual, the data store where you create the disc must be visible to the ESXi host where VM works... If this is the case, follow the procedure in documentation ESXi: Add a new hard drive in a VM in the Web Client vSphere

• Is it possible to extract personal folders from my hard drive and transfer to an external hard drive if Windows does not start?

  Hello, I recently started my Windows XP Dell computer and it should start up normally unless it would run the ChkDsk utility. It would freeze then 68% on stage 1 and goes no further. I called the people of Dell and after trying so many solutions, including safe mode, safe mode with network and CommandPrompt, we ran the diagnosis. The hard drive and memory are fine, no errors. He concluded that it was the operating system and must be restored. However, I have important files, I need to extract from my hard drive and he recommended me an external hard drive. I bought it, but now I'm not sure how to extract my files from my drive hard if Windows can not even boot the desktop computer. Is it possible to extract these files without the use of the desktop computer?

  And you've burned the .iso image, and not as data? If Yes, then you have created a bootable CD. Put it in your optical drive and restart the computer. You may need to change the boot order in your BIOS. With some machines, you can get a temporary startup command menu by pressing a function such as F12 at startup. Other computers require that you enter setup and change the boot order in the optical drive first of all from there. When you start your computer it will be information about which key press to enter the BIOS (Setup) or give you the temporary boot order.

  After you changed the boot order to boot first from the CD and rebooted the computer, Knoppix will boot. Have your external hard drive connected to the computer before you start doing this. After Knoppix is finished booting, you will be in his office. It will be very similar to Windows. There are icons on the desktop for your internal hard drive and the external hard drive. Copy files from the internal to the external drive as you want. Review what I wrote about the use of Knoppix in my previous answer. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

• FAT32 formatting for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista

  How to format FAT32 file system for 500 GB Seagate external hard drive using Windows Vista?

  Hi MVRMVR,

  Windows will work generally only format a drive in FAT 32 if it has a capacity of 32GB, no more. To format in FAT32, Yes, would need to create multiple partitions. This, of course, you don't want to do.

  I have not tried to format a large drive in FAT 32 but I guess that any third-party partitioning software (Acronis, Paragon etc.) would be able to do it without any problem. Alternatively you can do it from the Windows command prompt. For more details, see the link below:

• How to get personal files on a backup external hard drive for windows 7

  How to get files from a backup external hard drive for windows 7 pro. ? I DON'T WANT TO RESTORE WINDOWS 7, JUST MY PHOTOS & DOCUMENTS.    TO THANK THE TAXI 53 DRIVER

  Hello

  Thanks for posting your question on the Microsoft community.

  Thank you for details on the issue.

  You can restore backed up files lost, damaged, or accidentally modified versions. You also to restore files individual, groups of files, or all files that you have saved.

  If you are restoring files from a backup that was made on another computer, the files are restored in a folder under the user name that was used to create the backup. If the user names are different, you must navigate to the folder where the files are restored.

  I suggest you use the steps in this article and check if it helps.
