• After disk hard crash, loaded Windows 7 and get "Software Licensing Service determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations.

  Original title: Windows Vista product key used for any new installation.

  I bought the upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows Vista CD, then had a hard drive crash, then installed a new hard drive. Load the purchased Windows 7 on new hard drive, now I get the message '... Software Licensing Service determined that specified only usable product key for the upgrade, not for new installations. That means that I have to load Vista on the new hard drive, and then update? Both for the end user (paying customer) hostile.

  However, the requirements for the media upgrade is that you have an operating system already eligible such as Windows XP or Vista installed to use it. Since the Windows 7 end user license agreement.

  15 UPDATES. To use upgrade software, you must first be licensed for the software that is eligible for the upgrade. After the upgrade, this agreement takes the place of the agreement for the software that you upgraded. After upgrade, you can no longer use the software that you upgraded.

  So, if you are always denied, you will just have to reinstall Windows XP or Vista and let it do the verification of eligibility.

  Boot.wim	Boot.wim
  install.wim	install.wim

  Installation instructions (creation of bootable DVD/USB)

  You must download the .exe, the boot.wim and install.wim file in the same place. Run the .exe file and it will extract all the files in a folder called Vista. Start Windows install will be now (cancel Setup).

• Migration of Time Machine to the new drive, backups are larger than the Original drive

  I am currently migrating my Time Machine backups from a 2 TB WD My Passport for Mac to a new WD 6 to my book for Mac. I have 63 backups on the old disk, and Finder says that the reader has TB filled 1.96.

  However, each individual backup is about 350 GB, which certainly does not. I think normally it was something weird with the Finder listing the wrong sizes, except that when I copy the backups to the new disk, they copy effectively to 350GB a piece. I initially tried to copy everything the ~ 2 TB Backups.backupdb at once, but it was so great, she didn't, then I copy on each both a backup in a folder that I had planned to rename "Backups.backupdb" at the end. At this rate, I will fill new TB cases 6 drive long before copying all backups on.

  How is that possible?

  Just to be complete, I'm using a Macbook Pro of the retina 2012, 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7, 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 graphics card Intel HD 4000 1536 MB, 512 GB of storage, under OS X 10.11.3.

  Time Machine saves the previous backups for the continuous backup size to become more wider until there is no more space on the backup drive. It is quite normal because Time Machine is an archive backup utility.

• I'm upgrading to a new Mac Book Pro, my 'old' goes to a friend!

  Hi all, I'm going to upgrade to a new Slimline Mac Book Pro, my 3 year old outgoing Mac Book Pro goes to a good friend of mine, I tried for years to make him give up Windows, finally, he took the bait.

  So I ask, how is it best to prepare my old MBP before transfer of ownership.?

  Is it perhaps as simple as simply format the hard drive and leaving who?. If so, how it would be able to get a copy of ElCapitan? Then would he be easy to get a free copy of Pages, Numbers and Keynote?  or maybe they are included in ElCapitan? I remember that I had to pay for them, 3 or 4 years ago.

  Questions, and is there a page I can point him that will help his PASSAGE from Windows to Apple to be as painless as possible, otherwise that I lost a very good friend!

  Later: -.

  The links below all refer them to a version PREVIOUS to Mac OS X, so I don't think they're quite accurate?

• Install Windows 7 upgrade on the new hard drive?

  I have the Windows 7 upgrade version that I installed last September, but a few days ago my hard drive died.  How do we install the version 7 upgrade on the new hard drive without using a previous version of windows on it?

  In order to install the Windows 7 upgrade version, you must have a system of eligible operating Windows installed and activated.  You cannot install a version upgrade of Windows 7 on a drive blank.  The installation procedure you do not insert a Windows disk in the drive for verification, eligible operating system must be installed.

  If you do not have a qualification system of operating Windows installed with an activated genuine license, then you can not use the version upgrade of Windows 7 - you would need a license of Windows 7 "full version".

  In summary:

  1. a Windows operating system to eligible address must be installed.
  2. the Windows operating system to eligible address must have a genuine license (product key) and it must be enabled.
  3. to upgrade, boot on the eligible Windows desktop, insert the Windows 7 upgrade disc in the DVD player.
  4. when the menu appears, select custom (advanced option) to a clean install procedure.

  You should be able to repair the installation, if your installation one fall. I suggest create you a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to spare you the trouble if your computer one fall in the future.

  You can work around this two ways, I would suggest that you create a System Image (backup) of your installation of Windows 7 after installation of Windows 7 in order to save you the trouble if your computer loses the system failure or instability. Since you are in possession of a valid license of Windows Vista for this computer, you can use the following method to do a clean install with upgrade support:

  Assuming that C: is the drive of victory that the size is too small, you need at least 100 GB for the drive to victory.

• Migration from the old to the new storage box

  O/s - AIX
  Present Storage - storage IBM XIV
  New storage - HP EVA 8400
  
  We intend to migrate from old storage to the new storage box. Here's the oracle servers.
  storage team and AIX o/s teams will migrate data from the old to the new storage box storage box. (step of migration include - backup of volumes of the o/s and even restore in new storage box).
  
  WHAT SHOULD DO ORACLE DBA, RECOMMEND SO THAT OUR ORACLE DATABASE SHOULD WORK JUST FINE ON THE NEW STORAGE SYSTEM? Please share your entries?
  
  My hypothesis: The o/s team as AIX will be due work migration preferred to be a s/n, we need not do binary oracle / oracle data files will be the same migrate to new storage box as it is. We being ORACLE DBA should simply ensure that we should have our oracle databases registered with us architecture.
  
  All Suggestions, questions are welcome, thank you friends.

  Yet once if administrators can make the local hard drive appear identical to the operating system when the contents of the disc is moved to the new storage unit you should not have to do anything. If the local drive cannot make it appear exactly the same that I would probably want to re - install Oracle and patch then just start my database to the newly built House. The note of Oracle on cloning Oracle Home can present a different option.

  It would be nice if this process has been run on a test server before production, because according to your window, you don't want to build a new House of Oracle after the migration to disk. I would like the House to be brought as part of the file movement or I would create before it is tested and ready.

• ESX 3.5 - move VM to a new disk/LUN

  OK, I added a new 2 TB LUN to a standalone ESX Server. What is the best way to move one of my virtual machines of the old disk/LUN to the new disk/LUN? I like to keep the names and the same because the DNS name of the VM is the same as the name of the computer in ESX virtual.

  Thank you.

  If you use vCenter and allowed to vMotion, you can make a storage vMotion, while the virtual machine is running (via RCLI or unsupported sVMotion plugin). If you do not have and that the virtual machine is in offline mode, you can just do a cold migrate by clicking on the virtual machine and it move to the new data store. This can also be done manually through the CLI through a manual copy with vmkfstools.

• Add a new disk to RAID5 on HP DL580 G3 w / ESXi 3.5

  My DL580 G3 currently has 130GB of usable with a RAID 5 configuration space. 3 x 72 GB disks.  I intend to add a fourth Ultra 320 SCSI 10 K 72 GB for additional local storage.

  The DL580 has a Smart Array 6i controller. When I boot the DL580 I see no option of RAID as an Array Configuration Utility configuration. This box came to me with the already configured RAID5 array.

  Would I be able to add a new disk using a Smart boot CD that ACU to extend the RAID 5 set? If Yes, what version of SmartStart?  I did not see one for ESXi or ESX on the site Web of HPs. is there another method that I need to use to expand the RAID5?

  THANKS :)

  If you do not see the utility of configuration of the adapter for the POST/BIOS screens? Pressing F8 does not work either?

  You should have received a Smart boot boot CD with and in most cases, the Raid configuration is possible with this Smart Start.

  If nothing happens, you could build a UBCD4Win and integrate HP Array. I did it for a Smart Array e200i, but only the cmdline versions works well. The GUI version has some limitations on the display of pop-up windows.

  You must save / move your guests as there is no migration of the vmfs online!

  Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Firefox Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode that disables certain parameters, disables most Add-ons (extensions and themes).

  If Firefox is open, you can restart Firefox Safe mode in the Help menu:

  • In Firefox 29,0 and above, click on the menu button

    

    click Help

    

    then select restart with disabled modules.

  • In previous versions of Firefox, click on the Firefox button in the upper left of the Firefox window and click help (or click on help in the Menu bar, if you do not have a Firefox button) and click on restart with disabled modules.

  If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Mode safe mode as follows:

  • On Mac: Hold the option key during the startup of Firefox.
  • On Linux: Exit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run firefox-safe-mode
    (you may need to specify the installation path of Firefox for example/usr/lib/firefox)

  When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "start mode safe."

  

  If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. Please follow the section Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems to find the cause.

• Just upgraded to the new version and now adjust no longer works, what is the solution?

  After the upgrade to a newer version the shrink to fix the width of the screen no longer works. What is the solution?

  Code changes for the HiDPI landed in Firefox 22 and later (bug #844604).

  You can change the layout.css.devPixelsPerPx and increase or decrease the value of 0.1 or 0.05 as follows to adjust the size of fonts and other elements in Firefox.

  • The layout.css.devPixelsPerPx pref is a string parsed in float value and allows you to adjust the dimensions of all elements (user interface and web pages) specifically (resolution 0.1 or 0.05).
  • You can use values between 0.05 and 1.0 to reduce the size of the elements or use a value greater than 1.0 to grow and enlarge the elements (percentage divided by DPI, % / DPI).

  If the web pages must be adjusted after changing this pref so you can watch Default FullZoom Level or NoSquint.
