• VMX file missing after moving the hard drive

  Hello

  I have a problem with my VM Windows 8, it has stopped working when I moved the physical SSD in a different SATA port on the motherboard. I moved because he was running on the SATA2 instead of the SATA3 and its an SSD.

  When I open VM Workstation 10 I expected to see the virtual machine waiting to be taken up (he was suspended before moving on SSD) but there was only the start option. I pressed start and it gave me a message

  "Could not open computer virtual: E:\windows 8.1\Windows 8.1.vmx.

  File not found

  Then I looked in the phone book and it was noware to be seen! It's just gone. I noticed that there is a file to suspend in the name, it also disappeared at some point.

  I tried to recreate the file .vmx following these instructions:

  VMware KB: Recovery of a lost or deleted Workstation virtual machine configuration file

  I used the same directory and the name of the current virtual machine. When I tried the virtual machine, I got this error:

  "The specified file is not a virtual disk.

  I then tried the again, this time using the same directory, but a different name.

  This time it loaded up, but took a long time, when he finally got the sign in screen that I put my password as normal, but when I looked through the C:\ drive all my programs and documents had disappeared!

  Really starting to panic now, I have loads of work on this virtual machine. I created snapshots, but they do not display inside VMWare, the files are still there.

  I have someone would watch via Skype or team Viewer please let me know and I will set up a screen sharing.

  Thanks for reading, hope someone can help.

  Can you confirm that you have changed the hard with VMware Workstation closed? And you fixed the problem on the disk that appeared when you ran chkdsk?

  What you can try is to see if it works to clone the virtual disk manually by running

  VMware - vdiskmanager.exe, t 0 - r 'Windows 8.1 - 000001.vmdk' 'Windows 8.1 - Clone.vmdk.

  (you may need to provide the full path to the executable file)

  If it doesn't work, that shows the same error message: the GUI?

• missing hal.dll message after removing the hard drive

  Original title:Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  OK, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll. My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer? The reason why I ask, is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll lack. Since the hard drive is not installed, the only place where this message comes's cmos or bios of the computer.
  I know it seems odd, but I couldn't believe it when I saw it after removing the hard drive. It used to be with older computers and Windows 95 or 98 when you took a hard drive that wasn't working and installed with one that works from a different computer, you could swap out and boot the computer and make a few changes to some drivers if you.

  So what is windows xp write to the memory cmos on my computer?

  > Ok, I had the same problem on my hard drive missing hal.dll.

  The same as what? If you reference another thread, please include a link to it.

  > My question is what windows xp writes the cmos on my computer?

  It is not write anything for her at all.

  > Lack of the reason why I ask this is that I physically removed the hard drive from the computer and then start the computer I get the same message hal.dll.

  I think that you're wrong. I would like to say two things happening:

  1. you have more than one hard drive and the problematic drive was not removed, or

  2. you deleted something other than a hard drive.

  Do you have a CD in your CD drive by chance?

  What is the brand and model of your PC? Are you able to get into the BIOS?

• I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter t

  Redesign existing external hard disks and still 6 Lightroom able to find existing photos.

  I currently store my pictures on and an external hard drive.  Lightroom 6 was not able to find the picture momentarily files.  I inserted an external Flash DRIVE after removing the hard drive and the computer renamed the stick with the same drive letter that has been designated by Lightroom to store my photos.  I could go into my Windows 10 and reset the player to the letter that Lightroom has given at the beginning of the external hard drive.   However, I know this can happen again, if I connect any stick USD or another device, while the external hard drive is not connected to my laptop.   I found the information that I can do the new designation of the final drive by choosing a letter it is 1/2 way or higher in the alphabet.   I would like to turn an external hard drive on a strong letter, warns we hope this previous problem.   My question is, if I already have a lot of pictures on this external hardrive with the designation of the current drive, how it becomes a higher letter and have 6 Lightroom recognizes files, now under the new designation of drive letter without having to go to each photo individually and manually force Lightroom 6 find each photo.  It would take more time than I'd like to lose.  Is there a way to get just 6 Lightroom to recognize the new disk designation has changed and is able to find all of the existing files?

  I have read the ADOBE LightRoom 6 manual and seem not to be able to find anything on how to do it.

  Any help would be welcome.

  Thank you!

  So in Windows, you can select a drive like q letter (or any other letter you want only towards the end of the alphabet)

  Then in Lightroom, you can reconnect to the photos on q: the following instructions (see specifically 4 Figure and related text)

• System Restore to factory settings after replacing the hard drive?

  I have a Lenovo ThinkCentre A52, which recently required a change of hard disk and the removal of a defective RAM 1 GB stick. When I bought my computer, it came with Windows XP Pro and the new hard drive that the updated computer has Windows XP Pro, but it seems to be missing a large part of the software (drivers and programs) that originally came with the computer, and even if I downloaded and installed most of them since the Lenovo Web site There are still some problems related to software that I can't fix. Ideally, I'd like to go back just to restore the system to the factory settings using the ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery program, but I don't know if it will work. All programs and the necessary drivers will be installed again, even if my current hard drive is not 'knows' thereon? I need to get a Windows XP Pro installation CD, if I want to keep my operating system? Also, is it important that my current hard drive is half the previous, or that I now have half as much RAM?

  Thank you

  After replacing the hard drive, the only way to restore it to the State of the plant is using the Lenovo installation diskettes. You can also ask if Lenovo has a solution to your problem without having to reinstall Windows.

  You can download Lenovo drivers if they are not included on the installation disk. The size of your hard drive does not matter.

• How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?

  How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?

  Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject.

  There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.

  If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

  Hi Rob,

  You must install first Windows XP and upgrade to Windows Vista.

  If you have a genuine copy of Windows XP, after you install Windows XP you can contact support for Microsoft's Activation to activate the copy of Windows XP.
