Make an extra hard drive available in merger

I installed a new hard drive on my Mac Pro.  While I see it well in Mac OS, when I start Windows in VMware Fusion, I wasn't able to see my new hard drive initially.  I finally managed to make the new hard drive available for Fusion, but when I looked at the hard drive in MacOS, he created 22 files at the root of the hard disk labeled "Virtual Disk - s00X.vmdk" where "X" is a number from 1 to 22, a file labeled "Virtual Disk.vmdk" and a file folder labeled virtual disk.  It was not that I had set up the HDD correctly in Fusion so I removed it.

What all of the 22 files were created on my new hard drive?  How do I add and make it visible to my new hard drive in Fusion?

I installed a new hard drive on my Mac Pro.  While I see it well in Mac OS, when I start Windows in VMware Fusion, I wasn't able to see my new hard drive initially.

This is because you have not set up as a shared folder in VMware or a normal SMB/CIFS network share, which we know is not what you want from your response to the message of Entegy.

I finally managed to make the new hard drive available in merger...

If you had been successful then there will not be a need to post.

What all of the 22 files were created on my new hard drive?  How do I add and make it visible to my new hard drive in Fusion?

"22 records" with a hard extension, you deleted, composed the VHD that you added to the Virtual Machine.

What your wanting to do add the new physical disk to the Virtual Machine where it is natively accessible to the Virtual Machine and when the virtual machine is running, the disc will be not available natively on Mac OS X, is - that correct?  If Yes, with the exception of create the partition Boot Camp, Virtual Machine, VMware Fusion does support not the addition of physical hard disks to a VM via its GUI and will have to be done manually after have created you with vmware-rawdiskCreator located at: / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/vmware-rawdiskCreator

    I bought a few extra hard drives for my server Cisco UCS C240 M3

    How I can not either;

    1. add additional to the existing table hard disks, without deleting the existing data?

    2. Add another virtual drive in RAID 10?

    The server is running ESXi v5.5

    Thank you

    Steve,

    Add more disks to your existing table without losing data should be an option of your storage array 1 - at work, I think it is called extension online something for LSI RAID controllers.

  • Qosmio G40 - 10F - extra hard drive

    Hello

    I have recently purchase a G40 thinking it was x 2 of physical drives, it appears in this model there is only a single physical HD

    I read in many places, there is room for the G40-10 for a reader to additional disk placed inside the machine but this model seems to have simply a fixed cover but the space for the reader to be mounted

    Nobody knows of the back plate is removed and an additional hard drive caddy to store additional drive - it should be relatively simple with a heat dissipation and other I think all that is needed is the replacement carriage and connector cable SATA - x motherboard 2 recognisies readers

    All I really want to know is

    (1) is it possible
    (2) is - someone doing it
    (3) toshiba reference numbers for the caddy and for a G40 - 10F sata cables

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio G30, but I saw G40 and if I remember, although in the lower corner, that there are two HARD drives covers. Two of them are placed close to the battery, and they have one, how to say, plastic circle. AFAIK the G40 is offered with one or two hard drives. The first HARD disk is placed inside fixed with a screw. One extra is placed under the second HARD drive cover fixed with two screws.

    I don't really know if your G40 is extensible, but you can contact the service provider authorized in your country. They have access to the database of Toshiba and they can check it for you. Part number is usually internal case and it is not easy to find number of exact part for these additional parts like the drive bracket HARD or cables.

    Make a call and pick up information on the possibility of upgrade HARD drive.
    One last thing: try to remove the cover for the second HARD drive and check if the HARD drive connector is there.

  • Satellite P200 - extra hard drive problem

    When I bought my laptop the advisor at importers told me I could get an adapter so that I could put the second drive in my laptop but now when I want to get the adapter and another player, they want to charge me about a 3rd of the price of what I paid for the laptop! And I pay dealer prices goods... All seems like hold up for me! Especially seeing that we all know the price of hard drives is so low!

    Can anyone help with a part number, or the details of this adapter so that I can order from abroad or find on ebay or something?

    Hello

    I put t know which adapter you are which means exactly, but if you want to use a second HD in this notebook, then you should check first if the second HARD drive bay contains the necessary HARD drive connector.

    You should know that not all laptops can be improved with the second HARD disk, even if the second HARD drive Bay is available!

    Then remove the second Bay and check if there is a HARD drive connector!

    Hi Defiant1950,

    To add more hard disk space, the simplest method is to attach an external hard drive. If you add an external hard disk, it can't function as your primary hard disk where you install Windows, but you can use it as a secondary disk to store programs and files. Adding an external hard drive is a good way to create plenty of extra space to store the digital photos, videos, music and other files that require a large amount of disk space.

    To install an external hard drive, all you have to do is plug it into your computer and connect the power supply cable. Most of these hard disks plug into a USB port, but some connect to a Firewire (also known as IEEE 1394) or external SATA (eSATA) port. For additional instructions, see the documentation that came with your external hard drive. You will also need to install a software that came with the hard drive.

  • Add and extra hard drive to A706n

    Can I add an extra internal hard drive to my A7806N? If yes which is recommended?

    Your topic says A706n, so I will be with this:

    BTW: Congrats on a circa 2004 XP machine. You must be kept very clean inside.  If it was my machine, I would clone the drive to replace and remove the old drive in an external enclosure. It is more than 7 years old. As the old drive probably has a 8 MB cache, you see some improvement with 16 MB cache. From my quick research for you, I found that 8 MB cache drive was 80-320 GB disks. The only 16 MB cache was the 500 GB.

  • Need info on max size of HARD drive available for Satellite Pro M30-813

    Hello

    The question is mainly to be sent to Toshiba authorized support personnel. The limitation of the maximum size of a HARD drive internal that I could use with my Satellite Pro M30 - 813, what exactly?

    Recently, I bought and installed seagate SATA drive of 160 GB, on which I installed WXP Pro and have been running for a while with no problems. Recently, I've been copying large amounts of data to an external hard drive to my new internal drive, and that the files have been copied, as I noticed have about 50 GB of free space left, I knew windows "delayed write failed" and a failure of massive wall without the possibility to recover the data. The system would no longer boot time and the entire MBR has been damaged. As a result, I lost all the data on my new drive.

    Well, I realize that Toshiba is not responsible for additional hardware that I use with my computer laptop and who is not officially supported by Toshiba, I am sure that as an end-user of a Toshiba product, that I have the right to know a lot information of limiting size of HDD for my model of laptop. So I ask, representing technical support Toshiba to give me an official reply directly to my question.

    Thank you in advance,

    Andrejs

    (You can also contact me private my e-mail address)

    Hi Andrew

    > The question should mainly be addressed to Toshiba authorized support staff
    I think that you are in the wrong place if you are looking for a response from an authorized Toshiba support.
    This is a user to user Toshiba forum! You will here meet passionate and Toshiba laptop owner who share knowledge and trying to solve the problems, but no one of Tosh :(

    I could give my experience with Satellite M30 and HDD upgrade possibilities.
    To my knowledge the M30 Sat supports a 40 GB, 60 and 80 GB HARD drive for sure.
    In my opinion, you can use the 100 GB HARD drive, but more large HARD s drive will not run and works correctly.
    So go to a smaller size of HARD drive and enjoy the laptop!

    I've goggled a bit and found compatible drive HARD and part numbers
    HITACHI GBC000Z810-> 80 GB
    HITACHI GBC00014810-> 80 GB

    HITACHI G8BC00013610-> 60 GB

  • Satellite A200-193 - installing an extra HARD drive

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A200-193 and I would like to install one additional go 160 HARD drive into the free location.
    The problem is that there is no SATA connector to this place (switch on the motherboard, not more).
    I know there are computer A200 laptop with a second HDD and my question is "if I go into an official TOSHIBA Service Center, it is possible to install a SATA connector in this free site, this is to allow the installation of additional HARD drive?

    If someone could help me on this point, it would be great.

    Thank you.

    Hi Mathieu

    I see that you are a bit confused ;)
    As you known t n, there are probably different Satellite A200 series a series helps the second HARD drive upgrade and some A200 series cannot be upgraded
    But the A200 series was equipped with the same laptop covers

    This means that you will find the second drive HARD on all mobile A200 Bay but the drive HARD (SATA) connectors don t exist on each series.
    It seems that your laptop cannot be upgraded with the second HARD disk because of the second missing HARD drive interface.

    I hope I can clarify this confusing question ;)

  • Make visible external hard drive on the network

    Hello.

    Here at my office, we have a server that contains records of employment. Whenever a task is completed, and is no longer needed, remove us the server and drop it on an external hard drive. This allows us to keep completed jobs in case they need to be referenced later while still freeing up space on the server.

    From now on, I am in possession of an external hard drive. Unfortunately, it's a little awkward for other people here at the office have constantly come to me old job information.

    So, this brings me to my question. Is there a way to ensure that all users of the network can access the information on the external hard drive? I'm pretty sure it's possible. I am running Windows XP. I plugged external and active Simple file sharing.  I already tried simply by looking at the properties of the drive and affecting him so it is shared with other people on the network. I was still not able to access the drive on the network. Do I need some kind of special material? I am naïve. Can someone help me?

    It must be configured as a shared folder for third-party access to the drive on the network.  Since you are not using a real server but the working groups (serving on workstation) each machine that is trying to access the files must have the same account that you use on the computer"to serve."
     
    BTW, XP Pro allows only 10 'connections' and it's not computers but "services" to connect to it.
     
    Have you tried to plug the external drive into the server and share where using field of the server if the server runs a network of real estate?
  • ThinkCentre M58p Tower - extra hard drive?

    There is plenty of space in there, just no Bay drive?

    You can retrieve the part of IBM Service parts UK.

    I'm not an expert on this system or the hard drive bracket, but it is possible that the media is a 3.5 "to"5.25 internal drive bay adapter. An internal drive Bay 5.25 "can be used for a variety of devices, not only 3.5" hard drives. Does this sound right?

I intend to buy a new hard drive and replace it myself. How can I move the new Vista of the old hard drive?

    My computer did come with an installation disc, only a recovery disk.

  • Option extra HARD drive for R60e

    I intend to upgrade 60GB HD 120 GB as shown in the option stock higher on the specifications page.  I can more than 120 GB with this model?

    Detailed features page:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-64245#Stor

    Under "Storage" then "Hard Drive features", he States the following:

    "The Ultrabay Slim hard drive adapter is designed to provide this flexibility with a second hard drive in the Ultrabay Slim housing."

    It sounds like I can add a second HD which would be preferable as opposed to a swap HD and all the included facilities for this.   However, when we look at the news on the HD adapter I found this:

    http://www-307.IBM.com/PC/support/site.WSS/MIGR-61161.html

    Scroll to the "Notes" under "Hardware compatibility", and you will see this:

    "Not supported on ThinkPad R60e"

    If this computer does not have the ability of a second HD or not?  Page plug implies it is, real part page States no.  I'm looking for if I have it or not?

    the biggest hard drive you can press the internal Bay is 640 gig (there is a model with a capacity even higher), essentially any hard drive as long as they are in 2.5 inch format and 9.5 mm thick.
