• Qosmio G20: Is there a hidden partition on HDD1 for QosmioPlayer?

  Hello

  I have a Qosmio G20 and I noticed that the BIOS indicates HDD1 95 GB HDD2 is 100 GB (as it should). Is there anyone else who have experienced this problem or is my HDD1 damaged or is there a hidden partition?

  If there is a hidden partition - how to remove? (I really don't see the point with QosmioPlayer).

  / Henrik

  Hello

  AFAIK the Qosmio Player is pre-installed on the hidden partition.
  It is perhaps a reason for different size of HARD drive.

  The disk format HARD completely should remove the hidden partition and Qosmio player. But this procedure is not recommended.

  Pure how to install OSX on a Fusion drive and keep the recovery disc function

  These instructions assume that your iMAC partitions or file systems has been damaged and you want to restore to the way most efficiency with fusion drive and the recovery partition, similar to what was built in the factory.

  These instructions work for the iMAC, retina 5K end 2014 version comes with OSX Yosemite. The scores of major drive of the 128 G SSD and 3 TB of HARD drive has been configured as a logical drive (merger by car).

  WARNING: These instructions here are shared for interest only. Readers to take their own risk by following these instructions. The author is not responsible for any damage caused by following these instructions.

  This is the target disk partitions, and the configuration that we want to achieve.

  Disk0 is the 128 GB SSD - solid state drive and holds the start of the partition (disk0s3)

  Disk1 is the 3.0 to HDD - mechanical transmission and holds the Recovery HD partition.

  There are two EFI partitions to partition table GUID on both hard drives (disk0s1, disk1s1).

  Disk space remaining (partition disk0s2 and disk1s2) are used to create the disc of Fusion 3.1 to named "Macintosh HD".

  / dev/disk0 (internal, physical):

  Fusion unencrypted drive

  Here's how we do it.

  • A. clean reinstallation of Mac OS x.
  • 1. make sure that you back up all your data on the hard drive using Time Machine or other means. The following procedure will delete all data.
  • 2. create the OSX install USB, insert it to the MAC workstation.
  • 3. given that us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 4. in the menu at the top of the screen, select disk utilities.
  • 5. turn highlighted the volume of disk Fusion called "Macintosh HD." Click clear to clean.
  • 6. If his success, then go ahead to install OSX new to that partition, as usual.
  • 7. otherwise, if it does not, that means fusion drive has been damaged.
  • 8 follow the instructions below to fix it.
  • . B. Split disc Fusion in the physical hard disks
  • 1. Since us will be operated on the internal drive of the Mac trunk, assumes that we already have boot up OSX install USB drive (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3. on the screen of the terminal type:
  • Cs diskutil list.
  • You will see something similar to the screen below.
  • 4 copy the long string after Logical Volume and replace the UUID with it in the following command to delete the logical volume of the disc fusion (aka coreStorage of logical volume):
  • diskutil deletevolume cs UUID
  • For example:
  • diskutil deletevolume E59B5A99-F8C1-461A-AE54-6EC11B095161 cs
  • 5 copy the long string after the logical volume group and replace the UUID with it in the following command to remove the drive (aka coreStorage) fusion:
  • diskutil cs remove UUID
  • p. ex. diskutil cs remove E03B3F30-6A1B-4DCD-9E14-5E927BC3F5DC
  • 6. at this stage, the fusion drive has been deleted, and hardsisk SSD and mechanical hard drive will be reappear in diskutil or separate records.
  • 7. If step 5 or 6 takes more than 30 minutes to complete, this means that the fusion drive has been corrupted. You can follow the commands below to clear the table to partition the hard way. First command clears the SSD drive, second command erases the HARD drive.
  • The command does not return a response, after 1 minute, press Ctrl + Z to complete orders. 1 minute is enough data to code and erase the partition table on the disk.
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk0
  • cat/etc/random >/dev/disk1
  • . C install a new copy of Mac OS x for the hard drive HDD and tested this disk partition hard recovery work.
  • 1. go on diskutil to create a partition called Macintosh HD HDD hard drive using all the space there.
  • 2 do the same with the mechanical hard drive.
  • 3. follow the usual procedure to boot from the installation of OSX USB and install a new copy of Mac OS x hard disk SSD.
  • 4. This will create the correct priming of the partitions, recovery hard drive partitions and PSX partitions hard disk HDD.
  • 5. once the installation is complete, test if OSX may start successfully, but no need to go through the initial MAC OS x didn't put in place that we're going to waste this and do the installation again later.
  • 6. we must now test if the recovery hard drive partition works.
  • 7. reboot for hard drive recovery (see X - by pressing command and R at the same time during boot right after that you hear sound start and release only a few seconds after you see the apple logo and the progress bar for loading...)
  • 8. it is important to test and make sure that the partition of hard drive recovery.
  • D. recreate the fusion drive
  • 1 since us will be operated on the internal trunk of the reader of the Mac, it must start on OSX install USB (see Y.).
  • 2. in the menu at the top of the screen, select utilities and Terminal.
  • 3
  . on the screen of the terminal type:
• diskutil list.
• You should find that we have a list of disk group hard physical volume only, no logic here still.
• 4. you will see something similar to the screen below.
• 5. search for the largest partition on the SSD hard drive, which should be close to the maximum size of HDD to the SSD (121 G, for example) and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk0s2
• 6. search the largest disk partition mechanical forming fusion with the SSD hard drive. This should be close to the maximum size of the mechanical hard drive (for example 3 TB) hard disk and mark the name of the device, this will usually be something like/dev/disk1s2
• 7
. Now let's create the merger in car (group alias logical volume) in the Terminal, type: diskutil cs create nom_lecteur driveIDs
• The number of the driveIDs is unlimited, it may be a number of discs, or a number of disk partitions. Always put the faster discs first, for example for our SSD disk0s2
• For example:
• diskutil cs create fusiondrive disk0s2 disk1s2
• diskutil - the version of disk utility command line.
  cs - This calls for Core Storage, which is necessary for the merger.
  create - creates a basic storage group.
  nom_lecteur - is the name of the drive and how you want that he
• appear in the disk utility (not the Finder - that comes later). You can call it what you like; in our example, we named our Fusion table "Fusion".

driveIDs - Here is the Player IDs of the readers you want as part of your Fusion table, separated by a space. In our example, they are 'disk0' and 'disk1', but it may be different in your configuration.
• It is important that the faster hard drive appears first in the command, which in our case the disk0s2 (a partition in the SSD). In this way, drive fusion will use this disk as primary and the cache. The second disc in the command, in this case disk1s2 (a partition on the HARD disk). The secondary disk (HARD drive) is used to store less frequently used files.  Otherwise, the fusion drive performance will be worse that it is designed for.
• 8. you will see something like below appear on the screen:
• Creation Volume logical storage of kernel
• Move isk0s2 storage of carrots
• Disk1s2 of switching for the storage of carrots
• Waiting for logical volume group appear
• Discovered the new group of logical volumes 'DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 '.
• Store LVG UUID: DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53
• Finished CoreStorage operation
• 9 copy to the bottom of the string after "Discovering new Volume Logic Group" using the command + C
• 10. next, create the partition of the merger (alias logical volume) drive named "Macintosh HD".
• In the Terminal, type: diskutil createVolume groupString jhfs cs + size volumeName
• For example:
• Diskutil createVolume DBFEB690-107B-4EA6-905B-2971D10F5B53 jhfs cs + 'Macintosh HD' 100%
• diskutil - once again, this is the version of disk utility command line.
• cs - called the basic storage functions, which are necessary for this arrangement.
• createVolume - this is the command to create the storage area real for the reader who is represented by an icon on your desktop.
• groupstring - this is the long alphanumeric string you copied in the previous step. It identifies the table you created such as getting a volume placed on it.
• jhfs + -the format of the disc. It is Apple (journaled) extended Format, which is recommended for drives with an operating system installed on it.
• VolumeName - the actual name of the volume, how it should appear under the icon. If there is a space in the name, you must put the full name in quotes ("name") or put a slash before the (name Drive\) space. In our example, we made these, naming our volume "Macintosh HD".
• size : this is the size of the volume. In our example, we had a 1.1 TB drive. We used '1100g' to describe what 1100 GB (1.1 TB to base 10). Otherwise, we could have also used 1.1 T or even 100% as a size.
• 11. go to diskutil to verify that you can see this new partition on the list.
• 12. test by erasing all the data from it.
• 13. then you can go ahead to start on the USB drive to install OSX and install a new copy of Mac OS x on it.
• 14. This will allow you to keep the recovery disk feature.

  Hello

  There is no download free and legal Internet for vista

  Here are the different ways to reinstall vista

  Contact the manufacturer of the laptop computer and ask them to send you to vista recovery disks to reinstall the operating system back as it was when you bought it

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

  also ask them if you have a recovery partition on your hard drive to get back to the way you bought

  you would normally press F8, F9, F10 or F11 or Alt + F10 or 0 to start to start the recovery process according to the manufacturer

  Ask them of the exact key sequence

  or borrow a vista microsoft dvd; not a HP, Acer recovery disk etc

  Make sure that you borrow the correct 32-bit or 64-bit microsoft dvd to your computer

  they contain all versions of vista

  This is the product key that determines which version of vista is installed

• If there is no recovery... so frustrating

  I just got a HP Envy 17-j184nr. I also bought an ssd of 256 GB Samsung 850 pro to go with it. Make the recovery disks. Put in the ssd and begun the process of recovery. He was completely out the part with the administrator and the second download of the reader, then it restarted. It load and entered into unfinished restoration. Tried twice with the same result. The retry option does nothing except sitting there on "Insert recovery media", even though I have inserted each drive at least twice. The log shows...

  [6:58:36.74] ChkErrBB.CMD: detect an error in the PININST_BBV.

  [6:58:36.74] ChkErrBB.CMD: check c:\system.sav\Logs\BurnBootWarn.log

  [6:58:36.77] --------------------------------------------------

  [6:58:36.77] critical error condition has been detected to BBV1...

  Please help me, I really want to start using my computer.

  The recovery media works well with the discs with a lower capacity drive originally installed.

  The workaround is to use a usb to sata cable and software for cloning. This one came with a Corsair SSD bought as a kit of migration. You can buy one from a seller online or in a PC shop.

  I'll post a picture in a few minutes.

  Samsung has data migration wizard software for owners of SSD that can be downloaded from their support Web site.

  Cloning software will resize itself the OS to fit on the SSD. You need to reinstall the OEM disc in Notepad to perform the migration. Once the migration is complete, you can reomove the original of the laptop hard drive, replace it with the SSD and then turn on. In the space of a few seconds, you should start the right of the Windows logon screen.

• LUN and storage Partitions

  When you use the IBM DS4700 SAN and if ESX supports only one active path to a logic unit at a time number - if I have a logic of Production and an another LUN of Test unit number, I'd rather create a partion of storage for each, then ask SAN CTRL A - & gt; path preferred on Production LUN SAN CTRL B - & gt; the path preferred to LUN of Test? the attached picture shows how I have two paths each HBA, FC switch and SAN. I would like to optimize traffice as much as possible. Any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Am I right assuming that I would be better for the performance of each logic unit on a separte storage partition number and each controller

  Altogether.

  For each RAID Group (or group of physical disks), only 1 LUN.

  At least 2 LUNS.

  If possible (if you have 4 way and many records) also consider using 4 LUNs.

  Rember that each logic unit number must be<>

  Hello

  Saved on the HARD drive recovery image can be installed (HARD drive recovery facility) if the laptop has only factory settings. Your own experience, something like this is not possible.
  To be honest I m was really asking why you didn't follow the instructions in the manuals s document for creation of recovery media.
  Now, in this situation easier for you had to use this support and install the original version of OS that you got with your machine.

  If you do not want to order the original recovery media is the way to try to create USB recovery media - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD4103KB0000R01.htm

  I really hope this will help you. If this does not work... then you have a problem.

• F2C49PA #AB4: recovery deleted partition

  partition recovery deleted it by mistake how can I original recovery image

  Prasanna-pc

  Ordinarily, I advise to use HP recovery media to restore your PC to its original state. That would erase the entire disk, format the drive and install the operating system, drivers and utilities HP.
  
  Unfortunately, there is no support of HP recovery related to HP for your PC Product Page.  This could be an oversight by HP, or it could also mean that HP stock is no longer the recovery media for your PC. They store any long recovery media for older PCs.
  
  You can try to contact the HP customer directly, using the links below, to see if you can order them if:
  
  If you live in the United States or the Canada, details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/phone-assist.html#section1
  
  If you live elsewhere, contact details are on this page: http://www8.hp.com/us/en/contact-hp/ww-contact-us.html
  
  NOTE: once you get through, stay on the line until you are finally able to talk to someone ' one - it can take a while!
  
  If HP no longer provides a recovery media for your model, a few other sites, you should check are: http://www.computersurgeons.com/ and http://www.restoredisks.com/

• Portege R100: question of recovery - disk partitioning error

  My old portege r100 doesn't quite work.
  I tried using the recovery CD product, but during the resumption of the process the following message apears:
  Drive partitioning error!

  What it means?
  What can I do to overcome?

  Thanks in advance

  Yannis

  Hello

  It seems that HDD might not be partitioned correctly.
  Perhaps the HARD drive is not ok?

  Check if the HARD drive is recognized and listed in the BIOS.
  If the HARD drive is not listed, then the HARD drive is dead and must be replaced.

  If the HARD disk is listed, then there might be a problem with the HARD drive partition table
  You could test the HARD drive by using a tool called Drive Fitness Test.

  You can also try to format the HARD drive first. You could fix this HARD drive on another computer by using a USB HDD controller. This allows you to access the HARD disk and format this drive

• DELL XPS RECOVERY D: partition - can I rename it to B: without affecting "Recovery"?

  I recently bought a XPS420 which came with a 500 GB hard drive. He had 3 partitions.

  The first partition has no name and it is used for EISA. The 2nd partition is named D: and it is used for "Recovery." 3rd partition is C: where is Vista OS. There is no floppy drive. The CD / drive has label E:

  I made a new partition and had to assign F: for her.

  Thus, the installation program looks like this:

  No partition name. D: (recovery) | C: Vista | F: new partition. and e: for cd/dvd-rom

  I want to install XP in F:, but as can be expected, I'm having a hard time to do it. One of the problems seems that readers are not in good condition.

  If I could rename D: to B:, I have this neat configuration:

  No name | B: recovery | C: Vista | D: new partition for XP | CD/DVD drive E:

  I feared that, given that D: is for recovery, if I changed it to B: label, the recovery feature may not work.

  Could anyone knowledeable please advise me if I could change the D: to B: and not be confronted with problems of recovery.

  Thank you very much.
