• If your computer comes with a hard drive of 32-bit pc will work better by adding another hard drive of 60 bits or transfer all files on the hard drive of 60 bits?

  The pc is a hp pavilion a706n and windows vista ultimate.

  Hello

  You confuse the version of Windows with the hard drive.

  A hard drive is a physical device for Windows (operating system)
  are the programs installed. When the data is created and saved which are written in the
  hard drive. A hard disk is analogous to a wardrobe as a storage device.

  Hard drives are not little dependent, which means that you can run Windows 32 or 64 on them
  If the rest of the system is compatible with every version.

  Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. But not all hardware systems can run both.
  Many 32-bit systems cannot run 64-bit Windows.

  Your computer came with at least a possible hard disk to add possibly
  internally, and certainly outside.

  WiKi - hard disk drive
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive

  As TrekDozer said that your computer cannot run as 64-bit Windows if you need to stay
  with 32-bit Windows. However, you can add additional hard disks of extra disk space.

  Check with HP support, their books online and the drivers, diagnosis, and
  their forum are good sources of information from others with the same or similar
  systems.

• External hard drive for use with original hard drive?

  Help I am trying to add an external hard drive to my current computer.  I got the hard drive connected, but I want windows vista to use it as if it were a part of the main hard drive.  Sorry kinda new to this so forgive me if this is a stupid question or is not possible.  Thank you

  These are separate hard drives.

  There is a maximum physical size defined for each of them.
  They have their own physical features sealed

  Use it for storage.

• Migration to a new SAN with a hard drive to separate LUNs

  Hello

  Thanks LucD, I now have a CSV containing on the same line

  the VM name and each hard disk and its file name. I also have a field for each drive with a place to enter the name of the Destination data for each store.

  VM,VM_NewDS,HD1,LUN1,LUN1_NEWDS,HD2,LUN2,LUN2_NEWDS,HD3,LUN3,LUN3_NEWDS,HD4,LUN4,LUN4_NEWDS,HD5,LUN5,LUN5_NEWDS,HD6,LUN6,LUN6_NEWDS,HD7,LUN7,LUN7_NEWDS,HD8,LUN8,LUN8_NEWDS,HD9,LUN9,LUN9_NEWDS,HD10,LUN10,LUN10_NEWDS,HD11,LUN11,LUN11_NEWDS,HD12,LUN12,LUN12_NEWDS,HD13,LUN13,LUN13_NEWDS,HD14,LUN14,LUN14_NEWDS,HD15,LUN15 LUN15_NEWDS, HD16, LUN16, LUN16_NEWDS

  I know on the Move-VM command, it will change ALL the VM selected in the specified data store.

  What I need is to be able to move the VM files (vmx, nvram, vmxf, etc.) to the VM_NewDS and each hard drive to its LUN * _NEWDS data store.

  My LUN is set to be really separate (a Mon, 8 vmdk).

  If I use Set-disc hard $HDx - Datastore HDx_NEWDS he won't move the vmx, vmxf, etc...

  Do you know a way?

  Thank you

  There are 2 cmdlets that allow you to move a virtual machine and it's hard, Move-VM and Set - hard drive.

  As you have discovered, the cmdlet Set-hard drive does not move the .vmx and another VM of the linked files.

  The cmdlet Set-hard drive lets you move a hard disk.

  One way to do, is use the Move-VM and then the Set-virtual hard disk for each hard drive.

  The downside is that the files on your drive hard twice will be moved and you need storage space enough on the data store the virtual machine specified in the Move-VM cmdlet with guests full.

  The other way is to use the RelocateVM_Task method.

  It is a good example in the thread Storage VMotion for several data stores .

• How to install Windows XP without service pack in my new machine with a hard drive sata and sata dvd?

  Installation problem

  Hello

  Not much to go here, but I'll try my best.

  First of all, I hope that your PC has a floppy drive. If it isn't, this isn't the end of the world, but it will make things much more complicated.

  Second, you must make sure that your motherboard BIOS is set according to your desired disk configuration. AHCI or RAID is the best but RAID is only if you want to set up a RAID. If you select IDE maybe you don't need the Setup F6 disk and the driver installation mentioned below.

  You have perhaps been provided with F6 floppy by your motherboard manufacturer but, if not, download the XP driver for your SATA controller from the manufacturer's web site and create your own F6 driver diskette.

  You must start your PC from the windows CD. Very shortly after the installation starting to show prompted to press F6 to another pilot. You have to hit F6 when you see this prompt. A few minutes later you will be asked to insert the Setup disk and identify your SATA controller. You should be able to continue with the installation later.

  It is a simplified version of what needs to be done and only goes up to get the installation to begin.

  If you want more specific help you should repost with exactly what installation problem that you are experiencing.

• Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

  Original title: startup problem

  I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

  Hi DougEisenmann,

  Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

  If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

• My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also backed u

  My computer with two hard drives and 2 starting systems has the car crash in the solid state. When I got the new drive and tried to restore from time capsule, I lost some data. How can I see what backups are on the time capsule? My laptop is also saved to the time capsule. Everything is in 'Data' when I look through the Airport utility. I think that the information that I've lost are still there since I was a Capsule 3 to.

  Time Machine backup to a sparsebundle.

  The sparsebundle will use the share name of computer. So, it should be obvious who is your Macbook and that is your Macpro.

  Open the sparsebundle in Finder and keep open the subfolders until you get to the backup of each separate hard drive...

  You has of course set the exclusion in Time Machine?

  By default, Time Machine will exclude your second drive unless you have included it. Did you?

  Once you get to this level during the backup, you can do a full restore manually whenever you want.

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

  What do you think?

• Re: Problems with the hard drive on a Satellite A200

  Hello

  I got my Satellite A200 (PSAE6E) for many years, and although I was interested for her order to to finally make the hard drive gives its first signs of failure. The symptoms started coming a few months ago. The disc will stop working, the system hangs, and I begin to hear a clicking sound from the disc. I'm afraid that one day it will stop working completely, and I can't afford without a laptop.

  I would replace it for a new hard drive, or one that is in good condition, but I'm having a hard time finding information on hard drives compatible with this model. Could someone help me with this?

  Thank you
  Gloom

  What you can do is to remove the original HARD drive and order the same.
  What you really need, it's SATA HDD and you can get it in every electronic or PC Magazine. I assume the original HARD drive was about 200 GB. What you can do now is to buy a new one with more capacity.

  Either way, what operating system are you using? I mean Win7 works perfectly on this old piece of hardware.

• How do I set up a dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives?

  Dual boot Vista and XP with 2 hard drives

  I tried to get my computer has a separate hard drive put in place that lets me run Windows XP or Windows Vista. I tried the path of the CMD, but I could do things wrong with that because the news NTLDR appeared much too different info from Vista. Currently, I have deleted this change to the startup configuration. I want to know what I have to do to get these two to be able to boot. I noticed problems similar to mine, but the answer always seems to be a software that would cost me money.

  Thank you

  Tevans95

  Hello Tevans95,

  You cannot install two different operating systems on two different disks. For a dual-boot environment, you must install both XP and Vista on the same drive with different partitions.

  In addition, you must install Windows XP first and then Windows Vista.

  You can check the items below which will give you information on Dual boot.

  Install multiple operating systems (multiboot)

  Set up a dual-boot system

  Change the default operating system for startup (multiboot)

  There is no software that can help you to install XP and Vista on different drives.

• Problem with connector hard drive to spring on T43 motherboard

  My T43 (type 1875) cannot operator unless I am pressing on toward the down on the palm rest above the spring certainly drive connector.  This connector seems to be designed to move upwards & downwards on two positions.  44 pin hard drive seem to connect indirectly to the motherboard via 44 springs in this assembly.  This Assembly should be compressed manually for the system to communicate with the hard drive.

  I do not understand the physical design of this connection?  I certainly do not understand the purpose of this complicated mechanism.  It is part of the protection of the hard drive?

  To correct the problem, I see two possible solutions;  either compress the springs, then bend the stems of alignment to maintain the State of compression, which makes electrical connections or replace the motherboard.

  If someone put me on how I could fix this?

  -Michael Faklis

  Note of the moderator; email address removed before finding too much spam

  This is common with the T4x problems and those who have not been carefully reassembled since the Council can become cracked over time especially when door one-handed from a corner as a person would natrually.

  Even models 15 inches and their solid upper bezel can experiencine this issue, but the models 14 inches and the palm rest of split and are the most sensitive.

  The system works when you press the right ALT just below and to the right of the trackpad?

  If you took the palm rest off the power, then press the plug of the battery, it restores the operating system?

  If so, you may be lucky that the Council itself cannot be cracked but it could be the connectors of taking battery BIOS on the Board and in this regard a $3 repair. Cut the connector and replace with a new one or cut and reweld to ensure that the circuit is solid.

  If it is cracked, you can hold with some high quality neoprene since used neoprene "shrink as styrofoam when exposed to heat and pressure. Shim planks will run, but the added stress of ttignehtning it back together can create other pauses as you are bowing the bridge so that the stress has to go somewhere.

  In addition, the system will work better if it remains stationery for a portable shim will pass when the goods are shipped under nomral conditons.

  Finally, the entire system will be brick and you can save or part the rest of it.

• Cloning a virtual machine with 2 hard drives!

  Hi all!

  I ran into a very annoying problem. I'm trying to Migrate/convert virtual machines to a host in the CR. Each virtual machine has 2 hard drives which are located on 2 different data stores. When I try to migrate or to clone virtual machines from the host on my Cluster I get an 'error of operation period.

  After scratching my head for a while, I discovered why. The virtual machine have 2 hard drives on 2 different data stores. Both flat.vmdk files are called eponymous because they are on different data warehouses (TTDC001.vmdk). I created a VM test on the cluster with 2 hard drives and flat.vmdk flies are named TTDC001.vmdk and TTDC001_1.vmdk.

  So my conclusion as to why I get "Opération Timeout Error" is that VC trying Migrate/Clone to the virtual machine but is mistake because his attempts to migrate/Clone 2 hard files with the same name!

  Can someone give me some pointers as to how I can get around this? I am currently copy the file hard 2nd to my deskop from the data store and rename it then copy him on the new cluster data store to see if it works as you cannot rename the file hard in the data store. It just seems long way round to migrate virtual machines with 2 hard drives, and I don't even know if it works!

  Please help!  :|

  Andy of the evening,

  I do it well. Thank you for asking.

  So if I'm reading correctly it seems that you are trying to clone a virtual machine from a stand-alone host to a host that is part of a VMware Cluster. When you do this you get a network midway through the copy error. Is this correct?

  Can you confirm how fast is connected to the Service Console between the two servers? For this kind of work I would recommend making them run at 1000/full, assuming you're not already. Could you also post the entire message that you get when the clone fails.

  Kind regards

• DV6-6119wm: HP Pavilion dv6-6119wm - replace the hard drive with a hard drive from a laptop Gateway

  OK (deep breath). I have a dilemma, and I hope that you all can help me.

  First of all, the HP laptop in question is a dv6-6119wm QE069UA #ABA, Windows 7 Home Premium.

  A month ago, it began overheating and then blue screened on me with a fan error. I ran it while I was getting this error, which was a mistake, because according to me, he has finally caused the hard drive failure after enforcement of reset factory several times. But I'm getting ahead.

  I replaced the fan and the heatsink myself. Another factory reset. Downloaded and installed all the updates of windows. Ran great for like a week with the exception of the fault 1 hard disk when I ran the Start Up Test.

  Then when I restarted yesterday... He's dead, so he is dead.  Apparently, the hard drive failed completely and comes only a black screen telling me it cannot start.

  So, I have this other model of Gateway laptop, NV55C26u which has stopped charging. I had to put it away and don't worry. I got out the hard drive and tried HP successfully. ! Sorta.

  It considers that the HP is a gateway and as a result, none of the drivers are there for all the good stuffs HP. It cannot connect to the internet and does not recognize the USB flash drive. (I had downloaded all the drivers on another laptop and put them on a pious flash drive I could convince the hard drive it's HP again). Another hard drive WILL work in the dv6, and I had no errors on startup it upward.

  I have no recovery discs or store bought Windows 7, all came with the laptop preinstalled. But I don't have my key to the label.

  Then what should I do? I'm not exactly tech savvy, I know just enough to be dangerous haha, but I tend to go glassy when things get too technical. I thought I could get something Microsoft to reinstall my Windows but I guess they closed this path down a few months ago.

  I have access to 2 other laptops, both HP. A QE304UA of Pavilion G7 #ABA with Windows 7 Home Premium and a HP 250 G2 Portable F7V84UT #ABAwith Windows 7 Professional.

  So basically in order to encapsulate this novel to the top, which can do here to fix my dv6? How can I convince this other HDD HP rather than Gateway? I can create something from one of these other HP laptops? Download something somewhere? I don't want to have to buy Windows again. I love this phone and need her in my life as a game.

  Please help me

  You must do a clean install of Windows on them. The hard drive has drivers for completely different material. Too bad that you did not have your drive to retrieve the value. It would restore the hard drive to HP with all the drivers/software installed. It would depend if the hard disk is at least the same capacity or larger than the original. Recovery discs are reluctant to a smaller capacity hard drive.

  You can order recovery Medai for about $16:

  If you can read the Microsoft Windows 7 of 25-character license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match that's installed on your PC as shown on the sticker COST Microsoft fixed on the bottom of the laptop. Like Windows Home Premium.
