  • Reinstall Windows 7 using a USB Flash drive and an ISO image

    My laptop is not an optical disc drive in order to reinstall Windows, I had to rely on the USB that I have. I downloaded an ISO image of the operating system on the Microsoft site and created a bootable USB stick using the xcopy command in command prompt. When I restarted the system and chose the USB as a boot device, nothing happened for half an hour. Then I had to reboot the PC somehow and it booted normally. Since he did not work once again, I downloaded the Windows 7 USB DVD download tool. But even the tool cannot complete the writing process, even after several attempts. So as a last attempt, I opened the folder where I had extracted all the files and ran StartCD.exe but it terminated immediately by posting "too big for memory. (BTW, I use a 8 GB flash drive) What should I do to fix this?

    Use Rufus:

    The USB key must be formatted in FAT32 and use the GPT partitioning scheme. To do this, you must use Rufus, a small tool that you can download for free.

  • How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3

    How to replace a bad IDE disk with a USB Flash drive system - and have all the functionality of XP Pro SP3
    Given a PC without hard disk...
    How can you use a flash drive instead?
    So, indeed, the USB key works as an SSD...
    I saw online options that gives partial functionality of the system... and an option that is more than $100 (more than the system's worth)...
    None of these options are acceptable in the circumstances.
    It is an effort to create a machine for a particular use, built from a recycled pc for which hard drive was removed and destroyed by the original owner...
    The criterion is that it must work just like it was a mechanical drive running xp pro sp3 with all updates, etc...
    Thanks for any help.

    You can not install XP on a Flash as his unsupported drive. Your only two options are a traditional hard drive or Solid State Drive (SSD).

  • ESXi 4.1 installed on a life issue, USB flash drive

    Hello

    I just installed a new server ESXi 4.1 on a (internal port) USB flash drive. I heard these flash drives USB gets used a lot of Scriptures; I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

    Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

    Thanks in advance!

    ... what I do pay attention on the ESXi host to maximize the life of the USB? Maybe switch logs in a data store, if possible?

    VMware optimizes access R/W if you install ESXi on a flash or SD drive. If I'm not mistaken, some changes are written only once in an hour. Depending on the size of the flash player, you can configure the location of the scratch partition (which is used for discharges of support etc.) to be on one of your data warehouses (HARD drive)

    Someone at - it information on how long will last my with ESXi USB flash drive?

    This depends mainly on the quality of the drive itself. Some providers (like Dell) offer models of server with two type of a RAID1 SD cards.

  • SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drive and SMART failure

    I just got 3 64 GB SanDisk Extreme USB Flash Drives and all three show SMART failures to reassign bad sectors. I struggle to believe that all three could be bad on first use. I use a program on a Mac (SoftRAID(4)) to certify all drives prior to use, including the SD cards and USB keys. I've never seen a failure so far.

    Readers see the successful certification but present a SMART failure.

    What is a disk problem or a SMART question or what?

    Thank you

    Lief

    I agree that it is unlikely to have failed on the first use. Most likely, it is a problem with the SMART attributes. IIRC sandisk can't CHIP for this product so it formats without error, and data can be copied onto the discs with success, I wouldn't worry too much on this subject.

  • Problem with 2 USB flash drive in Windows XP sp3.

    I have a USB 2 pci card - USB 2 card, with the hub 7 ports (powered) USB. Sometimes, everything works fine. Most of the time I can't access flash USB dirve. Printer, scanner, camera, photo, mouse, all connected work very well. Plug the flash drive and errors occur. The flash player works fine in laptop (Win xp sp3). Difference between the two machines, the laptop has only 2 USB ports. Have tried to uninstall the USB controllers and re-setup. Flash drive works fine in the desktop integrated USB 1.1. Have checked with Kingston USB drive flash technical support without success.

    When dirve flash does not, Device Manager displays the flash player at the top of the page section of controllers USB bus, as well as generic USB (USB 2?) hub. When the flash works do not drive, hub Generic USB appears in the second USB bus controllers.
    Someone help? Please, I beg you.

    Hello

    Tried your suggestions, without success.

    Have now connected powered hub USB 2 on my edge USB 1.1, with all devices USB works fine.

    Probability of problems seems to be my pci - USB 2 card.

    Being disabled, it is very convenient for me to have the hub USB 2 powered on my work surface to facilitate the connection of my devices.

    Thanks for your help anyway.

  • Windows Explorer stops working whenever I have connect a USB flash drive and try to access

    Hello. I use Windows Vista.

    I had a particular problem. Whenever I have plug in a USB key and try and access it, I get a pop saying "Windows Explorer has stopped working." the file is closed. If I wait a long time (i.e. 10 seconds), I might be able to get into the drive without any problems, but even when there is no guarantee. The problem persists in each USB slot I use. In addition, it is not that the computer is not able to detect it. It can detect and identify that it is a USB flash drive. It's just that whenever I try to access (or the folders inside the flash player), windows Explorer stops working and restarts.

    Does anyone have this problem before? And any help is appreciated. Thank you.

    The mistake made reference the MSVCR80.dll, which is a Microsoft file, but it may be another third party file, causing the problem.

    DivX is installed?

    If so, can you uninstall DivX and see if the error resolves.

  • p6710f, crashes at startup when installing 2 Cruzer of Sandisk USB flash drives

    Hello

    Question: My HP p6710f desktop computer crashes at startup when 2 Sandisk Cruzer USB drive (8 GB/FAT32, a 16 GB/FAT32) is installed in a hub Targus USB2 multiport (connected to the back USB port of p6710f).

    With USB flash drives installed, from a market boot: Boot past the BIOS (blue) screens, then 'underline' cursor blinks just on the black screen and hangs.  It does not start a Win7 from the hard drive.

    With USB flash drives installed, from a bunch of market: If in the (blue) BIOS screen, I hit the ESC and select the hard disk device (which is the top of the "boot device") then boot proceeds normally and boots Win7 from the hard drive.

    If I do the trunk with the key removed USB, the boot process proceeds normally and starts Win7 disk.

    I have flashed to the latest ROM system from the support page of p6710f.  Who really seemed to solve the problem for a while, but the hook finally reappeared.

    I copied all the data on USB flash drives, formatted their 'rapid' and copied all the data back.  No joy.

    Here is a link to the Sandisk Cruzers.  I deleted all the files on U3/etc. out of them, I want all of the space available on them for auxiliary data storage, I can't boot from them:

  • In Windows XP Home edition USB Flash drive

    In order to manage the partitions on a hard disk in Windows XP Home edition, I use disk management, which allows me to set sizes of partition and DISKPART, which allows me to CLEAN the MBR or the whole disc. No idea why I need both.

    However, when I insert a USB flash drive, partitioning options are not available everywhere, either by right-clicking on it in disk management, or by typing SELECT DISK n in DISKPART, which tells me that the drive number is invalid. A number of the disk that I copied from disk management.

  • How to recover from the failure of a with ESXi USB flash drive?

    I have ESXi 5.5 running on a 16 GB USB flash drive.  The system itself has a RAID card and drives mirrored where all virtual machines are stored, so it seems to me that a critical point of weakness is the drive itself.  If die ESXi itself running flash player, is there a procedure to recover the virtual machines on the disks?  Or should I keep a backup of my drive as well?

    1. How to restore the operating system assuming that the flash drive fails? If I reinstalled ESXi on a new drive of the same thumb, would see the VMware VMs existing on the hard drives of the server? Or is the process of discovery of the relatively painless existing virtual machines?

    If your flash drive goes down, will not be a problem that you have your virtual machines without danger on the separate data store in the locally attached storage drives. all you got to do is to reinstall ESXi host, he will be happy to see the existing VMFS data store and browse this data store where are stored the re-save you and virtual machines in the inventory.

    See also changes following KB to make the backup of your ESXi as operating system configuration and when you change the configuration at the time of the failure of ESXi, you don't have to worry about re-configuarting it

    VMware KB: Backup and restore configuration using the vSphere command-line Interface and vSphere PowerCLI ESXi

    1. How can I maintain redundancy for my USB failure? Can I have two drives connected and automatically backup flash / mirror the first hard drive to the second?

    This is not possible (I never tried myself) If you use an external flash drive, but let's say that you have any material to the specific provider giving this feature as

    DELL IDSDM http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/poweredge-idsdm-whitepaper-en.pdf

    or another supplier giving a similar feature, then it is quite possible to mirror. Otherwise, the best option is take config. backup using KB, I mentioned in the first answer.

  • Can I install Windows 7 on an external hard drive and then put it back in the computer as a hard drive internal?

    Here's the situation, I reinstall Windows 7 on my laptop when it all of a sudden to stop. Now he cannot start Windows and only shows the Startup Repair tool. IM thinking if I can get my hard drive and put it in a hard drive enclosure and install windows in it as a hard drive external. And after installation, I will put the normal back on my laptop as a hard drive. Will this work?

    Furthermore, I can't boot any disk installation because the built-in DVD player does not work, also I can not change startup option because I can't access the BIOS, there the password and I do not know. Please someone help! :( Thank you!

    As a general rule, Microsoft allows not 'officially' most versions of Windows (9 x--> 7) to boot from an external hard drive.  However, there could be an exception to this rule.  eSATA pregnant use signals to 'SATA' HDD on an "external" port
