  Hello community,

  I recently bought a computer build-yourself.

  What is raid? A large number of people I know use raids.

  RAID 1 (mirroring) is not a backup solution. RAID 1 uses two or
  Several readers, each one duplicate of the other, to provide redundancy,
  no backup. It is used in situations (almost always inside)
  companies, not in homes) where any city cannot be tolerated.
  because the way it works is that if a disk fails the other takes
  more seamlessly.

  Although some people thing of RAID 1 as a backup technique, it is
  what it is, because it is subject to a simultaneous loss of the
  original and many of the main dangers facing the mirror
  your data - serious power, close to the lightning seeds, virus
  attacks, stolen computer, etc. Most companies that use RAID 1
  also have a solid plan of external backup in place.

• Look at one of these two hard disks in Windows

  Hi guys

  Sam X 200 m/n: PSPBUA-00N007 running a Vista Ultimate operating system.

  I wanted to see if I can get Windows to recognize the two hard drives as a single. I tried to change the 2nd HARD disk to a dynamic and extending of the primary HARD drive, but it doesn't seem to work.

  Can I do this in Windows? Or is the OEM Toshiba which prevents me from doing this?

  Any suggestion would be fantastic.

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  what you would have is a RAID stripe both of your HDD´s. But is there a RAID controller installed in this machine? I Don t think so and even if yes, then you need to reinstall your operating system, but you must first create a RAID 0 stripe.

  Because the machine (as I know) is not equipped with a RAID controller, then a regular SATA controller you will have no chance.

• How to rename the external HARD disk in window 8?

  I have a Seagate Backup more Portable disk (500 GB) and WD Element (1 to). I use Window 8.

  When I Plug one of them, their original name had auto-changed by the computer. For example, auto-changed the name of the element Local disk (H) and Seagate to Local disk (G). I tried to rename the two hard drives, but it does not work. But the two hard drives were working properly (I can open it and uploaded files). I even tried to use disk management to rename the HARD drive, but it will not change in the computer.

  Not only that, when my friend she plug Pendrive or plugging me in my usb connection Smartphone . Both got the names of auto-changed also. For example, when I connected my Vivo X 5 in computing, it usually appeared Vivo (I) and the Sd Card (F). Then some time later, it auto-changed on the removable disk (I) drive removable (F). Regarding my from a friend, after she plug his USB drive in my computer, its name from Pendrive changed disk removable (J). When she plug his USB stick into his computer, she could not rename its USB key at all.

  Is it because of Bug? or a Virus? What this means, I format my calculater, hard drives, USB stick and Smartphone?

• How to change the letter on the external HARD disk

  My drive external hard was originally on drive F, and with that, I got all my music iTunes also. However, for some reason, my computer stopped recognizing the F drive; the following message appears when you try to open this drive:

  "The drive or network connection that designates the shortcut 'F Drive.ink' is not available. Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and then try again. »

  The problem I have now is that the external hard drive is now the G disk and iTunes does not recognize the path (G:\iTunes), I say to use, for example, my music is not loading properly and that a fraction is playable.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I would recommend to change the external drive (g) to F letter.
  Do you know how to do this?

  After the external HARD disk is connected, you need to access the disk management and you will see the HARD drive (unique partitions) and other readers.
  Then you must mark the external HARD disk and should change the letter F.

  Perhaps the letter F was reserved for another drive.
  In this case, you need to unlock the letter F by assigning another letter to the reader that uses the letter F.

  For more details, please consult the Microsoft Knowledgebase document;

• Satellite A300 - how to use two hard disks?

  My Satellite A300 came with two 200 GB hard drives (drives C and D). What is the best way to use the D drive? Now I have nothing about it. If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?

  A basic question, I know, but the manual provides no information on this subject.

  Hey Dearborn,

  > If drive C fills the computer automatically switches the D drive?
  No, D: drive will not be filled automatically.
  When installing the program, you will be asked which drive they will be installed. So you can choose between C: and D: drive.

  In general there are no rules the use of two hard disks. You can do what you want.
  In my opinion the best is if you install all the programs on C: drive (first HARD drive) and save your private files such as photos, videos, documents, etc. on drive D: (second HARD drive). Its advantage is that if you need to reinstall Windows at all times, these files on the second HARD drive will not be deleted. ;)

• Satellite l.660-12 q - would the recovery disk rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition

  Talk about confusion. Does anyone know how to get a Toshiba C660 work after the HARD drive failed and the owner has stupidly NOT followed the instructions to make a recovery disk. Will be the recovery disk (if buy you one from Toshiba) rebuild the new HARD disk with a new recovery partition and install windows 7 (original OS) and accept the product key printed on the Windows license, attached to the base of the laptop. I have read a number of suggestions, but these have been considered incorrect by others.

  Surely, Toshiba must have a way to sort this problem.

  They read these messages?

  Hey Buddy

  I don't think it's really complicated, that I could find all the information about the recovery procedure in the user's manual

  The recovery disk must be created on the first day of purchase its recommended to create one in case something would be wrong with the HARD drive.

  The recovery disk contains an image. The image is a package containing Win system, drivers, tools and all the stuff pre-installed on the notebook.
  You bought the laptop and the system has already been activated so that you have need of t the key placed at the bottom of the unit.
  In addition, the use of the recovery disc formats the drive HARD integer (partitions too) and set the laptop in the same condition as at the first day of the purchase.

  There is also another option to recover the notebook called HARD drive recovery. This HARD drive recovery requires no recovery disk. The recovery disc HARD would be to use format ONLY partition C (System).

• How t change the startup hard disk?

  I upgraded my hard drive to a 500 GB to 2 TB Drive with a hard drive, copy of the program, thinking I could copy my files to the new drive.

  You could add the second hard disk of 500 GB as a slave and copy your files on the hard disk of 2 TB if its startup. If its not bootable, try to load Windows on it and install the 500 GB drive as a slave and copy your files:

• How do you apply Blur to only one of the two duplicate layers?

  Hello everyone

  I have two layers of dynamic object to a panoramic photo, which is a duplicate of the other and returned vertically.

  I would like to apply Blur to the inverted layer, so this step appears as a reflection of the other layer.

  However, when I apply the blur to the image reversed in its .psb document window, the blur effect ends on the two layers.

  Why the blur apply to two separate smart objects and how could possibly apply Blur to only one of the two double layers?

  Please advise me.

  Thanks as always,

  EAD

  Even if you see two separate layers, Photoshop is not to see them in the same way. When you using duplicated layer (Ctrl/Cmd + J) command, which tells Photoshop to create clones SO double layer sets SO. Update content on one of the 2 cloned layers will take into account changes to another. As you modify the content of a layer of cloned SO that change is automatically reflected in the other. As noted above, the solution is mentioned to apply the blur as a dynamic filter without changing the content (do not double click on layer SO): with SO layer selected in the layers panel, go to filter > blur > Gaussian blur.

  To cite only in case you need this option: you can duplicate the layer SO without cloning to help: command of new dynamic through copy object . In this case you can apply changes to the .psb file you make and modifications will not reflect to another (parent) layer of SO. In this case, disadvantage is that you can't quickly Exchange content on the two SO layers when creating clones SO you can overlay.
