  I am changing a laptop Windows XP Pro using the converter software 4.0.1.

  He will start the conversion process, but after 10 seconds or so, I get the error: failed: cannot create a snapshot VSS of the source volumes. Error 2147549183

  The strange thing is my images of box Vista successfully without problem.

  I'm in a corporate environment. I moved the laptop test I try the image of an OU restrictive and placed in a non-restrictive ORGANIZATIONAL unit (without firewalls and others). I always have the same question.

  I made sure all the VSS services and these are running and active. I even tried MS KB Article 941956 comes to do even if it said it was only for Server 2003.

  Any other pointers on this? It seems that a lot of people get this error, but the only ones I can find are for server operating systems... not XP.

  I wonder if the converter is not able to work on the GPT partitions?  (I think I saw some discussion of the community on this problem using v.5.1, but using 5.5 should be resolved?)

  Any help is appreciated. Thank you

  Your problem is with VSS, it is probably the lack of space, to seek solutions and similar problems.

  Errors that you see are expected, we need a full newspaper bundle for investigation and don't warry on GPT disks, they are supported with converter 5 +.

  Hello

  Thanks knani, Frank.

  One more doubt.

  When you run the MERGE statement, the first time, there is no rows in the target table, so no rows in the target table is what it is.

  So we cannot perform below sqls using MERGE when the target table is empty?

  insert into tar values (1, 'a')

  updated tar tNom = 'b' set where tnum = 1

  insert into tar values (2, "c")

  Is - that means that the MERGER will be only works with validated data?

  Right; a MERGE statement will not update a line which has been previously inserted into the same MERGE statement.  All fact tables reference to the data in the tables by the time the MERGER began.

  Dear all
  
  When I try to load my cube I get the error "ora-30926: failed to get a stable set of rows in the source table.
  Any idea? Googling for this error has not returned all the solutions.
  
  My env:

  I use the generator to warehouse 11.1.0.7 on Linux
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  Yes, I'm very sure. The error is revived by the MERGE statement.
  If the cube is empty, it is not a problem. All of the rows from the source Gets a surrogate key.
  If you run the cube for the second time, and you have two or more lines with exact in the attributes values as you use for correspondence, this error occurs.

• Failed to create a snapshot with 2 TB of virtual disk?

  I have a virtual file server with a 2 TB virtual disk (vmdk).  When I try to create a snapshot of the system (to save), I get the following error:

  < Unspecified file name > file is larger than the maximum size supported by the data store ' < unspecified datastore >.

  The data store located on the file server is formatted with 5.54 VMFS with size of 1 MB.  It's a data store of 12 TB with about 6 TB free.

  That is right.  If you want to take a snapshot, then the maximum size is GB 2032.   And this is the case even if thin you load the disc.

• FPGA error: failed to create the C Series module

  I use sbRIO 9631 with LabVIEW 2012, as well as the FPGA 2012 module. Everything worked fine until yesterday, I got this error when creating a new FPGA project.
  «LabVIEW FPGA: an error has occurred loading the VI on the FPGA device.»  Check that the target is connected and powered and that the target resource is configured correctly.

  After ignoring this error, I can create any VI in the FPGA target, compile it and it works but can not do anything with host one. MAX configurations show so no error.
  I have attached snapshots for convenience.

  Note: This sbRIO came with a DVD of LabVIEW 8.6 and similarly associated modules version. I had been using this version for a year. Then I got LabVIEW 2012 with the last modules and now facing this error.

  Hi NapDynamite,

  You should not need to uninstall your previous version of LabVIEW for the development of your PC.

  You can see what version of NOR-RIO you have installed on your sbRIO? You can view it by selecting the sbRIO under "Remote Systems" of MAX, and then by selecting the category of software. You may need to update the version of NOR-RIO that is installed on the sbRIO.

  You can try this first?

  Kind regards

I bought to download the rom update the Microsoft store and downloaded, but when I try to start the upgrade I have a stateing message that it is impossible to create or save new files in the folder where it was downloaded. I checked the security permissions in the file and made sure that no programs are 'read only', but it won't always go beyond this point!

  Hello
  
  What is the edition of Windows Vista installed on the computer?
  Make sure that you upgrade to the correct version, some versions of Windows cannot be upgraded with the installation disc you are trying to use. For example, you cannot upgrade a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version, or upgrade a higher edition of Windows like Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, to a lower edition, such as Windows 7 Edition Home Premium. If this is the case, you will need to use the custom during installation option.
  Before you attempt to upgrade, please run the Windows 7 upgrade Advisor:

  Also, check if your computer is compatible for Windows 7, using the Compatibility Center:
