• SanDisk extreme pro 128 GB cannot create the NTFS partition

  Hello
  I have a sandisk extreme pro 128 GB usb and I try to format it to NTFS in windows and it is impossible.
  The only way I success for formatting on my MAC but the NTFS partition is not visible in Windows...

  Does anyone have a solution for me?

  PS: I try windows XP, 7 or 8.1 nothing works...
  Windows see 2 partitions on my key, but cannot format.

  I just fix myself... about here was a good idea LoL

  So my problem was when I format the key the first time I use my MAC, and by default the MAC use GUID partition to format the key and on Windows, we should use MBR partition.

  Then when I format the USB on my MAC using disk utility, on the score of "variants" tab change when to create an NTFS partition MBR (instead of default GUID) partition

  After this, format the key and that's it!

  Its working fine now, I'm happy with this beautiful, design USB by Sandisk ;-)

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

• Is it possible to have the NTFS partition with partition VMFS?

  Hello

  I am new to virtualization. I have read many planning our first server vmware coming in a few days. There are some issues that I haven't yet found an answer.

  The new server will be DELL Poweredge 2950 III with double E5420 CPU, 8 GB of RAM, RAID PERC/6i material and some discs. I haven't decided on drives yet.

  1. There will be 3 Windows 2008 servers and 2 or 3 linux servers running on them. The domain controller servers, file and print server, ISA 2006 Firewall, loading of SQL 2008 with very light, linux with Server mail server web linux.

  We have just enough budget left to buy 2 pieces of 400 10,00 rpm for RAID-1 GB SAS drives or 3 pieces of 1 TB 7,200 rpm SATA to RAID-5 disks.

  I need space as much as speed. We can add more drives in the future, but for now, I have to live with the initial configuration. I like the speed of the SAS, but capacity SATA drives seems very attractive. I have the choice to start with capacity of 300 GB SAS against 2 TB of SATA usable space. Can you comment on this please. Which do you prefer?

  2. I'm not comfortable with the idea of keeping everything (OS, files,...) in one big file. Is it possible to be part of the disk space in DOS or NTFS partition on the same disk with the VMFS partition?

  I can use this partition as common file storage. I also want to make backups to this separate partition so I can reach if vmware fails. We have no budget to buy a file based backup software yet. I'll use backup software image freewere to save images to a PC also.

  Otherwise, I cannot live with SAS drives with limited disk space and can buy SATA drives in the future. Is - it possible to use the second SATA outside vmfs LUNs? Client operating systems can reach non-vmfs partitions on the same server? How can I achieve this?

  This question may seem a bit strange, but any help will be appreciated.

  Thanks in advance,

  I would assum that these are existing systems?  If so, what kind of count of drive you have in the existing servers and what kind of load IO have currently?  I would be worried to go with a 2 or 3 system disk and watch perhaps 4 * 146 GB 15 K SAS drives to start.  Also ensure that the adapter RAID a write cache of battery backup it will significantly improve performance with ESXi.

  2. I'm not comfortable with the idea of keeping everything (OS, files,...) in one big file. Is it possible to be part of the disk space in DOS or NTFS partition on the same disk with the VMFS partition?

  VMFS is a disk rather than a single file format.   It is designed to be reliable, and I would have more problems with the possibility of corrpution on an NTFS partition that I would with a VMFS partition.

  I can use this partition as common file storage. I also want to make backups to this separate partition so I can reach if vmware fails. We have no budget to buy a file based backup software yet. I'll use backup software image freewere to save images to a PC also. Otherwise, I cannot live with SAS drives with limited disk space and can buy SATA drives in the future.

  You can create a table and then present it to a virtual machine as a SCSI device generic, but to have several virtual machines, access at the same time, you need to use in the cluster aware OSes.  There are good backup script (free) that are available for ESXi and I suggest to store these backups on storage outside the ESXi host for security.

• The VMFS partitions and ESX in MUV upgrades

  Back in the day when you installed ESX it deems any VMFS partition is priese formatting for you even if you had all your machines on them

  I intend to upgrade ESX 4.0 to 4.1 using AUVS that resembles a simple process.  Anyone know if:

  1. it clears the local VMFS partition?

  2. He wipes SAN VMFS partitions that it finds?

• mount the partition root to esx 4.1 in rescue livecd mode

  Hi guys! I have problem with recovery of esx 4.1 upd 3 Server. To my shame, I deleted /lib64/libc-2.5.so--> link lib64/libc.so.6, then restarted a server. So now, esx makes a core dump and does not start (Kernel panic not syncing kill init). I thought it was a piece of cake to boot from livecd linux, mount the partition root of esx and recreate the link but it was not as simple as that. In rescue of the livecd mode (redhat 5), I can only mount/boot partition for esx. Command fdisk-l shows a single device (/ dev/sda1) with linux fs and other devices sdaX with extended and uknown fs types and mount error on these devices. Mount/dev/sda1 gives me a partition/boot of esx. On another host esx 4.1 with a similar configuration command df shows partition/Boot resides on the device/dev/sdd1 while other partitions as root/var/log are located on/dev/sdeX devices. After having investigated further, I found that/dev/sdd is a local protected by car while/dev/sde does not match any network SAN or raid connected locally to the readers. Tomorrow I will try to boot from the esx installation media and see if there is something simillar to rescue mode and try and do something here. I have no idea what to do if it won't help. In the hope to hear a good advise to you guys!

  Do a new installation on a disk SAN and after booting from it, I was able to solve the problem with the link. Old server is running. But after all I agree with you markdjones82 - it would be faster and easier to reinstall from scratch.

• ESX host with local storage recommended for the host partition table?

  Hi all

  I know that the best practical partition table should look like this:

  Mount Point	Partition	Size	Description
  		/ dev/sda (primary)
  / Boot	ext3	250 MB	Change of extra space for upgrades
  N/A	SWAP	1 600 MB	Change the maximum size of Exchange service console
  /	ext3	5120 MB	Change of extra space in the root
  		/ dev/sda (Extended)
  / var	ext3	4096 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with log files
  / tmp	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with temporary files
  / opt	ext3	2048 MB	Create partition to avoid overfilling root with the log files of VMware HA
  / Home	ext3	1024 MB	Create partition to avoid an overflow of root with agent / user files
  	vmkcore	100 MB	Pre-configured

  However with a system with local storage would you set it up the same way, and whatever it is must be amended to change to get ESX to write log files to the different partitions?  I would like to configure it for future expansion for when the enterprise package is configured.

  Yes, I would set up the same way with an ESX with local storage server and nothing needs to be changed for the vmekernel right at the partition/var - unless of course you want to write to a log server that you need to change a configuration file to point to the server logs.  If you talk to the ESX Enterprise license you willnot have to change partiition table-

  Also on something else if you don't have a SAN/NAS storage you will also need to create a VMFS partition on the local data store to host your virtual machines

• Cannot start after the formatted NTFS partition

  Option to boot OS X suddenly absent after that I formatted the partition NTFS (bootcamp) of Windows installation.

  

  I read many previous question in many Web site and

  I tried to fix it in disk utility, but it cannot go up more.

  user mode single launch I tried, but it does not start.

  already reset NVRAM and SMC.

  Is there not any solution to start again or access my files in the partition mac to back up?

  Thank you.

  Somehow, you managed to format your OS X with making it unusable NTFS volume. I recommend you do the following:

  Clean Install of El Capitan

  Restart the computer. Immediately after the chime, press Command + Option + R until a globe appears.

  The Utility Menu appears in 5 to 20 minutes. Be patient.

  Select disk utility, then click on the continue button.

  When loading disk utility, select the drive (generally, the entry Out-bumpy) in the list aside.

  Click the Partition tab in the main window of disk utility. A panel will fall.

  Set the GUID partition scheme.

  Define the type of Format Mac OS extended (journaled).

  Click on the apply button, then click the fact when it is active.

  Quit disk utility and re-enter the Utility Menu.

  Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

  This should install it the version of Mac OS X that has been previously installed when the computer was new.

• Unable to connect to the network in Windows 7 using the Boot Camp via Fusion 2.0.4 partition

  I know that Windows 7 RC is not officially supported, but I was wondering if anyone had ideas regarding my current situation.  I'm running the RC 32 - bit of a Boot Camp partition, via merger on a unibody MacBook, and whenever I'm in Fusion Windows cannot connect to my network.  Previously, I had a vm file-based and it worked normally, and in Boot Camp, I can get online without problem.  I went to training Camp to see if the Aero effects would work (they did after I ran the test of Windows experience).  I tried mode Bridged and NAT and any Windows does not see my wireless network.

  At the time current Windows 7 in any version is not supported by Apple on the Boot Camp partition, nor is it supported in any way under Fusion.

  Take a look at the configuration of the Virtual Machine's .vmx file and make sure that the NIC is showing that "e1000" as in the following example.

  ethernet0.virtualDEV = "e1000"
  

  To get the location of the Machine configuration file virtual .vmx take a look at the Beginner's Guide has VMware Fusion or gather Information for VMware Fusion.

  Note: You should make the change while Windows is shutdown, not suspended and merger closed.

  You can use TextEdit to edit the .vmx of the target Virtual Machine configuration file and locate the file...

• Impossible to mount the drive external HARD under Ubuntu Linux - file system damaged and MFT

  I get the following error when I try to mount my external hard drive on my Ubuntu.

  UNABLE TO MOUNT
  Error mounting/dev/sdc1/media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2: command-line ' mount t 'ntfs' o ' uhelper = udisks2, nodev, nosuid, uid is 1000, gid = 1000, ask dm = 0077, fmask = 0177 "" / dev/sdc1 "" / media/khalibloo/Khalibloo2 "' came out with the exit status no lame 13: ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: input/output error".
  Cannot read MFT, mft = 6 count = 1 br = - 1: input/output error
  Could not open the FILE_Bitmap inode: input/output error
  Failed to mount ' / dev/sdc1 ': input/output error

  NTFS is incompatible, or there is a hardware failure, or it's a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID hardware. In the first case run chkdsk /f on Windows, and then restart Windows twice. Using the /f parameter is very important! If the device is a SoftRAID(4)/FakeRAID then frst activate and mount a different device under the/dev/map/directory, (for example/dev/map/nvidia_eahaabcc1). See the documentation for 'dmraid' for more details.

  It is not mount on windows either: "i/o device error".

  This is a disk with a single partition hard ntfs

  Of course, I tried chkdsk /f. reported several file segments as unreadable, he didn't say if he fixed them or not (apparently not). also tried with the indicator/b.

  ntfsfix reported as corrupted volume.

  TestDisk was able to correct a small error with the partition table by adding the '80' for the active partition indicator (only). TestDisk also confirmed that the boot sector was very good and it corresponded to the backup. However, when you try to repair the MFT, he could not read the MFT. He could not also the list of files on the hard drive. It says file system may be damaged.

  Active @ also shows that the MFT is missing or damaged.

  I tried to replace the USB cable. Has not changed anything. I tried to update the driver. Windows reported that he was already up to date. Yes, the pilot has been activated.

  So, how can I fix the file system? or MFT? or the I/o device error?
  I used the HARD drive for months. This problem started 2 days ago. I also tried to mount it on other computers, without success.

  Hello

  I'm sorry to read about problems with your drive.
  Unfortunately, I think that the question is misplaced a bit as your case appears to be the health of your rather external HARD drive that a specific problem related to Linux.

  To add clips, if the tools you use have failed to fix your drive, then I do not think that a user 'normal' forum will no longer.
  I know it's a fine recommendation and probably just add salt in your wounds: If you really care for files, do a sector backup before doing any file system / partition own modifications.
  The reason is very simple - if the tool you use has made a mistake when judging what actions are the right ones, and submit these changes, you move your goal - and fast!
  Instead of repairing, the tool can simply corrupt data even further.
  Any subsequent change aggravates the disorder exponentially.

  Judging by the details in your message, I'm sorry to say that I think your drive is defective, or at least the data is lost.
  Of course some companies will probably be able to restore it, but that normally costs a fortune.

  Unless you are willing to spend astronomical amounts of money on data rescue, so I suggest to accept data loss and look at what you can do with the HARD drive.
  Try to format. No problem, this indicates the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  Sorry for so little help.

• Boot Camp Windows Installation 10 - "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. It's the GPT partition style.

  Hello

  I tried to dual boot Windows 10 alongside OS X El Capitan on my iMac 21.5 inch i5 end 2013. I have followed all the instructions in the Boot Camp assistant, restart, choose the yellow 'Windows' drive to boot from, but when I get to the Windows installation, enter the product key and language, and then select the partition (0-4, the partition Disk Partition) it tells me that "Windows cannot be installed to this disk. The selected disk is the GPT partition style. »

  So I found this answer: How do I install Windows 8.1 on Haswell MBP

  But then I received the same error.

  Tried this: http://macriot.com/mcrt/?p=2362

  But fdisk TPG allow me to change anything, as the SIP is enabled.

  Tried to disable SIP via a command line in a terminal in recovery mode, but got an error-bash: command not found csrutil.

  So now I'm stuck on all fronts. Any ideas?

  Thank you

  RedPanda

  1. your iMac end 2013 supports the facilities of BIOS/MBR and GPT/EFI.

  2. the legacy BIOS/MBR method requires a hybrid MBR.

  3 EFI/GPT is recommended for your specific model.

  4. you can use the GPT Fdisk steps in your link to make your drive a GPT disk only. It is not enough.

  5. you will need to convert the FAT32 partition space using the following OS X Terminal

  diskutil eraseVolume free disk0s4 FREE

  This will return an error, because free space is not associated with disk slices.

  6. at this point, use the USB installer created by the wizard of BC, boot from it and hold down the Alt/Option key and select Boot EFI (not Windows). Point to the portion of the free space that you see after the + 620 MB Recovery HD. It will separate into a small (128 MB) MSR and the rest as MSD (NTFS).

  7. do not install W7 in Boot EFI, because it has some difficulties.

  8. when Windows is installed, and BC drivers are not installed, run setup.exe from the Bootcamp folder.

  9. If csrutil is not found, you are in the recovery of the Internet, because your local Recovery HD is corrupted. The rescue of the failure of the local recovery is restoration of Internet. Your must be on El Capitan. There is no csrutil (or SIP) before El Capitan.

• Deploy the Wyse Image via PXE on WDS

  Hi I was wondering if there was an instruction manual / somewhere that explains the process of deploying an image of wyse by using a WDS PXE server? I was not able to find any useful material.

  For anyone interested, I found the solution. Thanks for the reply, but this isn't really the answer I was looking for. I know you guys have a statement to manage/Imaging Wyse with SCCM Clients, which is a windows product, so I was hoping you had a statement for their imagery strictly with WDS (Windows Deployment Services) via a PXE boot. Here's what I did:

  1 customize your wyse image, how you want.

  2. for the sysprep file, I decided to follow directions in the Wyse - guide SCCM Chapter 4, Phase 1, step 1 (you are free to try sysprep file of your own, I felt it was easier for the test links below)

  https://appservices.Wyse.com/supportdownload/Wes/Wyse_SCCM_WES7_Admin_Guide_AUG2013.PDF

  3. then, I created a USB bootable for Windows PE. For this I used a computer laptop Windows 7, WindowsAIK for Windows 7 and ImageX. Im not going to go through these steps, because there are many references on the web on how to do it.

  4. now that I had a bootable USB key, I went back to my Client light Wyse and captured the image by using ImageX. Once more, there are many examples on the web on how to do.

  5. my image newly captured a reason any had the boot.wim on it, I went to microsoft.com and download a trial WES7. Follow the instructions to retrieve / create an ISO. This iso Wes7 inside, you will find a file named boot.wim. Copy this file and the image of Wyse WIM of step 4 of your WDS server.

  6. you will need to add the network adapter driver in the boot.wim file, I have also added a keyboard driver (once again a google search will show you how to do this via the command prompt).

  7 Add the boot.wim and wyse.wim file to WDS. (If you want to apply an unattend.xml file, follow these steps now)

  8. start to PXE boot of your wyse client, when he mode WindowsPE and you get the part of disk partition, press SHIFT + F11 to bring up a command prompt and type the following (pressing ENTER after each line):

  DiskPart

  Select disk 0

  Clean

  Create Primary Partition

  Format quick fs = ntfs label = Windows

  Assign Letter = C

  assets

  output

  9. press F5 and it should show the newly partitioned drive, continue on as normal by selecting the image you want and start the installation.

  This will get your PXE boot and running. You can use an unattended.xml file to join the field of disk partitioning/customer automated, but I don't the have not yet created. Hope this helps someone else who has had this problem.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  It sounds like this host has already been improved 3.x! In this case you will not be able to upgrade to 5.x using the Manager to update because of the small partition/boot (99 MB).

  to remedy the hosts against a basic upgrade

  ... You cannot use Update Manager to upgrade to 5.0 ESXi host, if the host has upgraded ESX 3.x to ESX 4.x. These hosts have not enough free space in the partition/Boot to support the process of update Update Manager. Use either interactive or scripted upgrade.
