Moving a hard drive with PowerCLI
I have a vm with several discs. I have create a new virtual machine, to attach a disk of the virtual machine first to this hard new using New-disk and passing the path to the vmdk.
The final bit, that I need is to remove the disc from the first virtual machine so that I can turn on the second. I can't work out how to do this with powerCLI, of course, it is quite easy using the GUI.
Any ideas?
Hello, Deanb61-
Decent docs: Yes, VMware support site has legitimate documentation: https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/PowerCLI/. From there, you can see the documentation for the desired version of PowerCLI. Of course, check the latest version the most up-to-date docs/features/etc. Particular, Get-disk hard Ref is currently at http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-55/index.jsp#com.vmware.powercli.cmdletref.doc/Get-HardDisk.html.
You can find the name of the hard disk on the original VM with the first bit below and use that name, then remove the disk said. Or, the second line of code just relies on the way to the store of data (filename) from the drive and deletes the given virtual machine disk.
## get the VM's disks and their names, so as to use its name laterGet-HardDisk -VM myVM | select Name,Filename,CapacityGB ## or, just get the hard disk with the given filename, and remove itGet-HardDisk -VM myVM | Where-Object {$_.Filename -eq "[myDStore0] myVM/myVM1.vmdk"} | Remove-HardDisk -DeletePermanently:$false
What to do for you?

Using an external hard drive with Windows 7
I soon moved to the States but won't my Pc for a while once there. I intend to take an external hard drive with me to use with your laptop, once arrived in the States. As the laptop will probably have Windows 7 preinstalled, I'll be able to use the data on my drive that came from a Windows XP Pro operating system. Data such as Word, doc, Excel, doc, internet web pages. I do not know the media items will be ok, but not sure about programs etc.

Yes (assuming that the laptop has the necessary applications installed, such as Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel and everything you use for your media files or applications).

Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?
Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?
or would it be too expensive?
Yes. There are several alternatives. I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook. It works very well. Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)
Re: This win to install a SSD drive in a PowerBook G4?
Re: SSDS (my post is halfway - "this is how I did with my trusty Pismo...) »)
FYI - I have used the adapter is even cheaper now

Lost all the files of muisc - Itunes library intact but lost hard drive with music files
Hello
I'm on windows 10 and the latest version of Itunes. I had a separate hard drive with all my music, which represents 95% of the CD, even some captured directly from vinyl. (iknow all conferences on the backup to the top and sent hard drives for repair, but not luck)
So my Itunes library is intact, as it was stored on the drive to the OS, but every track has an exclamation point. I tried to use Itunes game and music in an attempt to restore my library, but I suspect I'm going to build it from scratch again, re - burn all my CDs
Any ideas?
See recover your iTunes from your iPod or an iOS device. If you subscribe to iTunes Match your should be able to create a new library and download content to it. The old one will assume that the tracks are present, even if they cannot be found. You must avoid doing anything which could remove the reference to the track in iTunes game, that's why I suggest to do a new library.
See also make a portable split library and backup your iTunes for Windows with SyncToy library.

How can I migrate my Mozilla folder on a hard drive with it works?
Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it is incredibly slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has plenty of space, but I can not understand how to put my Mozilla folder in my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't manage google chrome more.
It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.
Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.
See:
You can also try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.
Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.
See "create a profile":
- https://support.Mozilla.org/KB/Profile-Manager-create-and-remove-Firefox-profiles
- http://KB.mozillazine.org/Standard_diagnostic_-_Firefox#Profile_issues
If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

How to recharge my hard drive with photos that are stored in iCloud? After installing a new hard drive, there's no pictures found in the Photos, and I get this error, "could not find the picture of system library named"Library.photoslibrary Photos".
Soon as your App Photos or iPhoto lost track of your photo library, or there has not been migrated from your old drive. You can create an empty library and probably enable iCloud photo library for photos to upload to the cloud.

Replace old hard drive with an SSD. Now some of the keys on the keyboard stopped working. Ex 'e' and 'b' keys no longer work? Any idea what could take place in the disc replacement?
Probably nothing, it's probably a fluke. Try resetting the SMC and the PRAM by iMac Intel SCM and reset the PRAM. If this does not work, try a USB keyboard to test, if it works then your original keyboard has failed and must be replaced.

Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?
Can I change hard drive with an SSD in Toshiba NB100?
The hard drive in this model is the same size as SSD 2.5 drive "?Hello
As far as I know the laptop supports the disk HARD 2.5 SATA.
I think you could use a SATA SSD drive. Usually some SSDS require the firmware update but this should be provided by the manufacturers of SSD drives. -
Hey guys,.
I have a pc hp pavilion touch laptop 14, which has been having a defective hard disk that the operating system was not start and the system test indicated that the hard drive contained errors.
I replaced the hard drive with a new one and before installing the hard drive I formatted with a win installation 8.1. I thought the laptop would just start normally to win8, but gave me a screen saying:boot device not found please install an operating system on drive hard drive (3f0)
The hard drive is new and I did not not how its gives me this error!
In addition, this laptop does not seem to boot from a cd to format!
Any ideas?
Thank you
KarlHey BHK6,
I found out what was wrong! It was so simple!
I just need to make the boot inherited from the bios, like that he started directly from the hard drive and does not need of any software pre installed HP to start.
Thanks for your help anyway

Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger
I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.
Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?
Hey,.
> Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.
You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?
Hello
I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?
Thank you
Hey,.
Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?
Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

Can satellite A100-847 - I replace my current HARD drive with a SATA2 HARD drive?
Hello
I am currently using a Satellite A100-847 with a 100 GB SATA 5400 RPM HARD drive. I plan to change with a Western Digital WD2500BEKT 250 GB SATA2 16 MB 2.5 inch laptop hard drive 7200 TRM. Is it possible to replace my current HARD drive which is SATA with a one SATA2?
And if not what is my best option upgrade of the mine to a HARD fast (7200 RPM) disc?
Hello!
Yes, you can replace the current drive with a SATA2 HARD disk. You already have a SATA interface, and this means that you can use each HDD with SATA interface.
I don't know Mr. but as far as I know the Satellite A100 cannot use the speed of SATA1. This means that the new HARD drive maybe won't work with SATA1 speed but there is no significant difference in performance.
A HARD drive with 7200 RPM is really fast, but don t forget it produces more heat and needs more electric battery. A HARD disk at 5400 RPM is perhaps fast enough for you?
Good bye
