  • Help please... Replaced the hard drive of MBP, restored from TM, but the Windows XP virtual machine does not start

    I replaced the 250 GB hard drive in my MacBook Pro early 2009 with a 500 GB drive, it the Mac OS extended (journaled) format and restored from my Time Machine backup.

    Now when I try to start my Windows XP virtual machine (using Fusion 2.0.6... planning upgrade to 3.1.2 but wanted to validate all was well first), I get BSOD, even in safe mode.

    I have my vm separately saved on a network drive data files based on things that I had read before, I do not think that TM backup of virtual machines. However, a friend with a similar setup with more knowledge I think because I could see my Windows XP vm VMWare listed under 'Documents' in Time Machine showing its full size, it has actually saved and there restore it. Apparently he has done this successfully before.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    TIA!

    To be clear: you have restored VMs from the disk or network time Machine?  And if the network drive, what backup method you use?  (i.e.: have you just copied engine off the computer virtual package or not?)  Can you copy/restore the virtual machine to the network again drive?  What is a virtual machine that has the error, or other virtual machines have problems?

    Time Machine backup correctly a virtual power off machine. But since Time Machine works automatically, you often will get not a consistent backup unless you do some tricks to make sure Time Machine backup only when you use a virtual machine.  (i.e.: turn on Time Machine only when you're done with the virtual machine.)  Thus, it is normally recommended to exclude the virtual machines from Time Machine and use another method to back up virtual machines.  Your friend is lucky or is only backup virtual machines powered off.

    Should I have partitioned the hard drive? I don't think that my previous drive has been partitioned. Don't know what to do now.

    The Mac player Paritioning is unnecessary unless you use Boot Camp or have required another for the partition.

  • Time machine does not take into account my partition which is case-sensitive.  Recovery has no data of this partition.

    I have a partition on my drive that is formatted for OS X Journaled, case sensitivity.  When I perform a backup, then recovery, all data in this partition is missing.  Time Machine does not recognize partitions of case-sensitive?  Strange, as the default format for Time Capsule itself is case sensitive.

    You cannot use the formatting case-sensitive with OS X. You will need to repartition the drive to Insensitive in full. You can not do any repairs or restore from a backup Time Machine.

  • Time Machine does not believe that a volume is identical to an exact volume in doubles with the same name

    • Had a player named ' external 1. »
    • He began to miss (I had another drive of the same manufacturer, and 'External 1' making the same noises as the other just before it failed).
    • Off time Machine
    • A got a new drive and formatted, calling it "new external 1".
    • All "external 1" copied on 'new external 1 "'.
    • Not mounted 'External 1' and threw it in a box that I keep for hardware failures
    • Renamed 'New external 1' on «external 1"»
    • Time Machine running and went to preferences. In the list of things to exclude the back - ups has been 'External 1.'
    • Removed '1 external' in the list of exclusions (highlighted his name and press the sign less)
    • Checked and found that "external 1" was still on the list of things to exclude
    • Repeated several times, but I couldn't go down the list

    Somehow Time Machine does not believe that the new "external 1" is the same as the first (who has done again to the top without any problems)

    What can I do to get the time Machine no no keep 'External 1' permanently on its exclusion list and the addresses as the same drive as the one I replaced?

    Furthermore, if I rename "External 1" to "New external 1", Time Machine will save it. But I can not just keep the "new external 1" name for reasons of scripts, etc..

  • My hard drive crashed and I need to reinstall XP PRO but my computer does not start on the CD

    I went into the BIOS and changed to start from the windows xp pro disk but no matter if I put in the pro or the original disk, I get 'disk read error.  CTRL Alt Del to restart.  BIOS can see how much space is left on the hard drive, so it's there, and BIOS knows I want to boot from the installation disc, but it doesn't.  What I am doing wrong?

    Hi Jade4142.Did try you go to BIOS and set it to the default settings and put the disc in, and then restart. There are many variables to a disc is loading. It could be the Platinum cd/dvd is defective, the disc is dirty, scratched or any black disc market. It you load on the HARD drive that crashed? If so, it could be that the HARD drive is infected? If this is a new HARD disk, you must leave the disconnected HARD drive, start the computer that lights up and looking for a hard drive. In this way the motherboard works independent of the HARD drive. The motherboard doesn't have a HARD drive to boot. Once you start without a HARD disk he won't say you no HARD drive or o/s found. Stop it. Connect the HARD drive for the sake of things a NEW HARD drive. Then start the unit go to BIOS and set to boot from the cd/dvd and then save and reboot. If the disc is genuine, and it's a new HARD drive, it should load without problems. He must ensure that the cd/dvd is above the machine to choose this path.click top and press the sign on your keyboard + and you'll see it move to the top of the list. If she is not at the top is not first in line to start. Just trying to help.

  • Network Drive will not refresh, I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    I use 2 machines to Windows 7 Professional 64 bit and 1 Windows 7 Professional 32-bit machine on a wired Ethernet network.

    The network works fine with one question. When I add a new file on the same machine and try to access this new folder from another machine the new folder does not appear. I have to disconnect the network drive of the machine with the new folder, and then map a new drive. When I map the new drive the new folder appears in Windows Explorer on the second machine.

    It's very frustrating when I want to add a file attachment to e-mail from another machine and it does not appear until I disconnect and re - map the drive.

    I hope this all make sense. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem? I don't remember this problem when my network was XP Pro machines.

    Thanks for your help.

    Thank you for your help.

    The I work around this problem is to do step 1 and step two, as you suggest.  I haven't restarted the computer though - I will also try it.  I have also not tell abled my ESET NOD32 Antivirus software either - I'll try that too.
    The network drive I'm seeing 'change' on does not refresh by itself, when I press F5 or go to view/update.
    Search Google indicates that this refreshing a network drive issue to show a newly created folder, etc. is a long time, Windows 7 problem.
    I would like your ideas on the potential problem of Windows 7 found on Google.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Once my hard drive crashed and had to be replaced, Adobe will not activate the copy of Photoshop on the same machine, on what it was originally.  I paid for it, why can I not use it?

    I've been buying and using Adobe Photoshop through many versions over the past decades. and I used to recommend it whenever I had the opportunity. Now I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.  I could say much more that this, using my parents taught me to not use words.

    Now, Adobe has their head in the clouds and does not care one iota of loyal customers.

    I had CS3 on a CS4 on another and CS6 on another machine. The hard drive on the machine with CS3 and had to be replaced.  I am trying to reinstall CS3 on the same computer, but Adobe won't let me activate it, even if I'm putting it on the computer, on which he was originally.  I paid for it, I went by the rules, and Adobe will not even for me.  And as far as I know, Adobe is released so far in the clouds has nothing but contempt for people who kept them in business for decades.

    What I would really like to do, it of pass the machine that originally had on that CS3 and CS3, put on the machine which has now the CS4 CS4, but I guess no one at Adobe case what I would like, even if I pay for the software and I have no intend to try to have it installed on more than one machine at a time.

    A disgruntled FORMER Adobe customer.

    See the help of Activation & deactivation and follow the links, so you can disable your CS3 (via chat). Be sure to have your serial number available. Then you should be able to activate on the new drive.

  • Virtual machine does not start the Server Windows 2003 Std ISO file?

    Hello

    I am trying to create a virtual Windows 2003 machine, I created the ISO file, downloaded on my ISO library and connected the CDROM drive for the ISO file.

    When I boot the maching, I select the start menu and select the CDROM drive the virtual machine starts the ISO?

    The continuous boot just on the network card boot.

    It's as if the virtual machine does not see the CDROM drive?

    I use folder2iso

    To me, it sounds as if the ISO created may not be bootable! How did you create the ISO file?

  • After upgrade to El Capitan Time Machine does not automatically

    Recently, I upgraded my Macbook Pro and iMac 24 to El Capitan.  Time Machine does not automatically work on the iMac.   I now use the backup to get a backup to run.  MacBook Pro is very well.

    Thinking that this might be the associated time Capsule, I removed the disc from the Capsule and ran Spinrite on it.  Car is very good.  Then I deleted all the files on the Time Capsule and created new Time machine backups on two computers.  No problem, except the iMac not run automatically Time machine.

    And yes the selection for Time Machine is configured to run automatically.

    A bug in OS X 10.11.1 prevents automatic backups that happens when a desktop Mac (iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro) is connected to a UPS (UPS) with the USB feature.

    Please, back up all data before proceeding.

    First, check the App Store for a later update to OS X. If it is available when you read this review, install it and see if the problem is resolved. I speak not beta versions.

    Otherwise, you can work around the bug as follows.

    These must be run as administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.

    Please triple - click anywhere in the line below on this page to select:

    sudo defaults write /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine RequiresACPower 0

    Copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing the command-V key combination. I tested these instructions only with the Safari browser. If you use another browser, you may need to press the return key after pasting. You will be asked for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. Type carefully, and then press return. If you do not have a password, you will need to configure one before you can run the command. You can get a warning to be careful. Confirm. You don't need to display the warning.

    If you see a message that your user name "is not in the sudoers file", then you have not logged as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.

    Wait for a new line ending with a dollar sign ($) below what you entered. You can then quit Terminal.

    Restart the computer and test.

  • channel state machine does not

    I have a producer/consumer architecture and problems with the machine States recognizing the new State.

    According the probe, when the structure of the event fires, the entry in the case selector is:

    "HV OFF."

    "

    (with the carriage return), but the case is called 'HV OFF. "

    My strings are combined into an array with the array of build function.

    A State does not work properly, and the probe indicates the State in the case selector is "serial number", with the final on the same quote line.

    If someone has encountered this?

    Go to each string constant, right-click and do show slash codes "-codes.  Now, you see the character, not a carriage return, character jump extra which is actually a line and can remove it.  (You can delete it in normal view as well, this is, you it's just more complicated than it is because it is not really.

    To do with a typedef enum, create a control of the Enum.  Change the elements and type in all the States you want.  Right-click on the control and customize it.  Choose Type Def as the type of control in the toolbar.  Save the control as a .ctl file and let it return to the regular window of LabVIEW.  Now you just use a copy of the control, or a constant created from the control.  You can not accidentally type something wrong because you have an enumerated list, you can choose from.  If you need to add another case, edit the .ctl file and add another element to the control of the enum.  Now all of this constant or control instances that refer to the typedef file are updated automatically.

    Your currently implemented in a string to function statemachine is little involved.  You are working with a queue, but each item in the queue is also a table.  If you are made a table, browsing, then when you're done, he could catch the element next to the table 1 d.  Except in your implementation, you have nothing stopping inside while loop because you never have a real associated with the Terminal stop.

    With enums, you do are enqueue each each enum.  If you wrap the element of queue with a loop for and feed a table of enums, so it will enqueue each step in the order.  The loop of the producer will be dequeue each step in order, and you don't need this inner while loop that you currently use to autoindex your array of strings.

  • Restore not working - the option to restore on my machine does not work. I've highlighted the dates. Does not work in safe mode

    Original title: restoration works not

    The weight restoration on my machine does not work. I've highlighted the dates but I get... impossible to restore messages. I tried switching off my virus checker (Norton) but with the same result.

    Some tools Anti Virus 'protect' your system so that they will not allow a restore of the system work properly.
    For example, if you use Norton/Symantec products, you will see a message like this:
    Restoration incomplete. Your computer cannot be restored...
    It is also a popular Symantec problem (well, I'll be polite and call an "undocumented feature"...), they wrote an article about it:
    According to what you use for malware protection, you may need to disable the product temporarily, do the system restore and then turn the products light up again when the system restore is complete.
    Sometimes you need start your system in Mode safe and so that your protection programs are not running, and then do the system restore.

    Tips from Microsoft in some of their articles that if the system restore does not restore your computer, start in Safe Mode, and then run the system restore.

    It works for some configurations.
