  • setting up a dual boot and storage of BIOS options

    I have a HP with Windows 7 Professional 64 bit xw4600 workstation. He resides in the SATA location 0.
    I have a separate hard drive Linux Mint 17.1 installed. He resides in slot SATA 3.
    I want to set up a dual-boot option to start Windows or Linux.
    In the BIOS under storage... Storage options must be set to RAID or AHCI? (I don't want a backup RAID configuration. I have cloned my hard drive to another hard drive in the SATA 2 connector, the DVD burner is in the SATA 1 connector).

    It seems that the computer will boot only from the hard drive to the SATA location 0.
    If I disconnect the hard drive to the SATAS location 0 which has Windows 7, I get an error in the message of wiring.
    If I use the boot F9 option, my choice is the hard drive, but I can't specify which.
    I can't find anywhere to change the HDD boot order in the BIOS.
    Any help will be apprecaited because I want to avoid opening the case and cables around switching.

    The HP xw workstations want to start only on the capture of port 0 on the motherboard SATA (often a blue color, while the others are brown dark/black).  Here is a post on how we worked around the need to have more of a boot drive, down to the low point, the photo shows the receiver in place with a carrier on the inside, and 3 many carriers are here to see you, too.

    This way you can have a single SATA cable go from that device to the SATA port 0 and boot from any operating system you like.  We now use only SSD for our startup discs, and the device fits perfectly into the floppy to the front of the box Bay area.  Do not stop going from one to the other SSDS.  I timed the move... 66 seconds to choose stop to W8.1 to get the Welcome screen W7 and vice versa on workstation xw4600 both xw6400/6600 (with BIOS optimized for faster startup).

    Apparently, there's some expensive SATA switches that allow to move from one entry to another entry and have only 1 output to the SATA port 0, but this approach has been working great for about 2 years now for us.  New versions of this device accept SATA cable lock, but my cables without locking of Foxconn HP were now firmly as well.

    There are similar devices for disks 3.5 "that HP had sold in the past.  Another advantage is that you can have two boot disks, both running on W7Pro, for example, and use the same certificate of authenticity.  One for the House stuff; one for the stuff of the company, for you home office people who want to keep things separate.

  • How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

    Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

    I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

    Thank you

    Hello Tevans95,

    You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

    In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

    You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

    Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

    Set up a dual-boot system

    Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

    There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

    Thank you

  • Possible to let Illustrator determine colors, and THEN choose the CMYK profile?

    Hello

    I'm new to Illustrator and asked for the help of printing options!

    I have CS2.

    Then, I set the color management in Bridge and my works in Europe ISO Coated FOGRA39 or profile 27 tag.

    When I print them in Photoshop, everything works as expected, so that in the printer dialog, you can choose "let Photoshop determine colors" and choose the match Europe ISO coated profile from the list. Fine.

    But then I take this same tagged CMYK .psd file into Illustrator and try to print it.

    I can only choose "Let illustrator determine colors" because I don't have a postscript printer.

    Here is where the problem begins:

    Now should I choose a profile that illustrator uses to print, but there is no available CMYK profile. Only RGBs.

    Why is this? Is it not possible to choose any CMYK profiles?

    Or do I have to do anything other than the marking CMYK image?

    I also tried without ICC profile labeled, but here also only RGB profiles are available

    I know this is probably a stupid question, but I can't find any decent answers in internet,

    so please help me!

    Thank you guys!

    You can select the printer that will give you profiles CMYK postscript from adobe.

    Print the postscript and distillit it.

    zOOpen in Acrobat and print from your printer now, you have a postscript printer.

  • Is it possible to access AMX element using the AMS item ID and then update the value of the AMX?

    I created a prototype - where I need to create a static Page AMX element. I have a bean that will have a method of UPDATING: the user interaction with the element AMX fires this UPDATE method, and the method will determine the value of another node AMX. The example is as follows

    <? XML version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"? >

    "< amx:view xmlns: xsi ="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"xmlns:amx ="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/mf/amx"

    < amx:panelPage id = "pp1" >

    < amx:facet name = "header" >

    < amx:outputText value = "Header-XXX" id = "ot1" / >

    < / amx:facet >

    "< amx:selectOneChoice label = '1' id = 'soc1" value = ""valueChangeListener ="#{SolverLogic.Update1}" > "

    "< amx:selectItem label =" "id ="si667803"value ="-1"/ >"

    < amx:selectItem label = 'O1' id = 'si667804' value="667800.667803.667804"/ >

    < amx:selectItem label = "O3" id = "si667806" value="667800.667803.667806"/ >

    < / amx:selectOneChoice >

    "< amx:selectOneChoice label ="2"id ="soc753865"value =" ">."

    "< amx:selectItem label =" "id ="si2"value ="-1"/ >"

    < amx:selectItem label = "Ø21" id = "si753866" value="667800.753865.753866"/ >

    < amx:selectItem label = "Ø22" id = "si753867" value="667800.753865.753867"/ >

    < amx:selectItem label = "O23" id = "si753868" value="667800.753865.753868"/ >

    < / amx:selectOneChoice >

    < / amx:panelPage >

    < / amx:view >

    When the user selects 'O1' - 'SolverLogic.Update1' bean - will calculate 'Ø21' must be selected. Is there a way to access the node AMX 'amx:selectOneChoice label is '2' ' - using the ID - id = "soc753865" sound, and then set the value as "value = 'Ø21' '"

    My requirement is that I don't need a DataController object, I have a binary file that contains the business logic, what I need is to create a static page and then use business logic to determine the result of user interaction and then update the user interface accordingly.

    Thank you

  • Possible to suspend a virtual machine, and then disconnect the SAN?

    I decided to do an interview on a small environment ESX 3.5 and I was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.  If I record data suspends storage local would this work? Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save?  There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

    was wondering if its possible to suspend a VM and then disconnnect the SAN to maintain SAN.

    A suspension is identical to a power off, it shows just the guest to Hibernate.  So yes, it is safe.

    Is it more fast and stop the virtual machine and the power save? There is the performance of 6 virtual machines on a single host with a single iSCSI SAN.

    No its not faster, its more fast and more reliable to power off the virtual machine rather than suspend.  If you need to follow the process and suspend its critical use, otherwise a scheduled interruption is better.

  • How can I set up to dual boot Windows 7 and XP on 2 separate drives?

    I have a new hard drive and a new DVD Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit upgrade. I want to keep my old hard drive with the ability to work under XP. Can I just install my new drive in any open slot, and then start from my DVD? I'll be able to start on the player of my choice? How does with the marking of the readers? And it defaults to Windows 7 whenever I start my computer? How I will be when you start the disk with XP?

    Hi ohyanet:

    Since you are using a version of 'Upgrade' of Win7 it will assume the license of the prior XP operating system and the Microsoft EULA says that you can no longer use your XP operating system on any computer.  To dual boot with XP'd you need to buy a version "full" of Win7, not an upgrade.  When you install Win7 it will make a copy of XP called Windows.old in your drive (C :) and you can copy the files from it to your new O.S. of Win7, but you will need to re - install all the applications from the original media.)

  • Is it possible to have versions PDF and PNG in the folio "even".

    Is it possible when copying on articles to have a folio in PDF and the other in PNG?

    Tried to do this by establishing a different folio in PNG and the copy through the articles that were created for the original PDF folio, but they always seem to be PDF when loaded in the new folio and preview on Tablet, even if it has been set in PNG.

    They only get converted to PNG when published? shouldn't we see thumbnails in the DPS Folio Producer: Editor window. Try to keep the meta tags of data between folios, or do I have to re - export these files and to reintroduce the tags and attributes manually.

    I saw there is a way to copy items between folios admin level, this would lead to a correct transposition of the PDF to PNG?

    We don't have a way to create a sidecar of existing folios, unfortunately. As Bob says it is an often requested feature, it just not has not spread to the top of the priority list yet.

    Generally what I see happening is one person other that the designer is responsible for managing the file sidecar.xml. One person deals with metadata and designers, simply use FBP folios small test to check their work. When all files are made and verified using the appropriate folio import folder structure the person who manages the sidecar will create the final folio in FBP, which should be published, using the sidecar file.

  • I don't have a message to tell me the image my takes up screen is set to full screen. How to disable the who and the fade slow when he goes to fs?

    In Firefox 42

    When a site like youtube when I make the video fullscreen it just melted slow useless when it does. And then tells me that it is full screen. I know that it is full screen for two reasons. One, I hit the button fullscreen. Two, the video takes up my entire screen. The message point. Use the fade. How can I disable them?

    To disable the fade, you can change these preferences of the topic: config page.

    • full-screen - api .transition - duration.enter: "0 0".
    • full-screen - api .transition - duration.leave: "0 0".

    You can open the topic: config page via the address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click on "I'll be careful" to continue.

    I do not know how to disable the warning, but it might be possible to hide this message with code to userChrome.css or elegant.
    This message is displayed for security reasons because a malicious script can switch to full screen mode and take over the entire window without noticing you (i.e. show a fake office).

  • Is it possible to have iMessage turned off automatically when the phone detects that it is not connected to wifi?

    My daughter continues to send iMessages when she's out and about (IE. When it is not connected to wifi) and iMessages are sent using its data allocation, and it continues to go over its data allocation. Is it possible to get the phone to turn off the iMessages automatically when it detects that it is not connected to wifi, so that messages are then sent via sms texts, and then it reconnects to iMessage when reconnected to the Wifi? (I know it can be done manually in the settings, but she keeps forgetting to do so).

    Not automatically.

  • [Database Toolbox] possibility to Load From xml file in Labview and then in the database

    Before you write in my database, I want to save it and reload if the user wants to cancel the new charge that can last several minutes.

    If he cancels the load I get back my previous database data.

    I managed to save my database in XML through the "DB tools SaveRecordSet To File" VI. This VI records directly contains my database table in the xml file. And finally, I only if the other VI to load file will do the same thing, means load the file and save it in my database but it gives just a recordset in labview.

    Question: is it possible just to load the xml file into the database directly through Labview?

    Why, finally, these screws do not have the same behavior?

    I don't know, but I just thought I would chime, that if you fail to do with LabvIEW, you might want to look by making your writing in a 'Transaction' database, if your DBM takes in charge (most except MS Access)

    If the above does not work, try to make a Bootable ERD to do a Startup Repair:

    As is the case with most computers/laptops these days, they do not come with good Vista disc to repair only the recovery disks.

    As your grave in the category above, download the ISO on the link provided and make a bootdisk of it.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

    When you have changed that, insert the Bootable disk you did in the drive and reboot.

    You can make a tool to restart system, System Restore, etc. with it.

    Read all the info on the website on how to create and use it.

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    ISO Burner: http://www.snapfiles.com/get/active-isoburner.html

    It's a very good Vista repair disc.
