NIC disappears and hidden under Windows VM

I have a Windows 2003 virtual server and he has two NICs, working as configured.  I'll add another hard drive to the server and when I go back to the server does not work all of a sudden the network cards, it is not configured.  I'm in a reconfigure the IP and other whatnot and then it comes up saying

«The XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX IP address you have entered for this network adapter is already assigned to another adapter card name.» Name of card is not the network and because Dial-up Connections folder that is not physically in the computer or is a legacy card that does not work"

I watched this on the Microsoft site and they use a utility called devcon to see the now hidden NIC and remove it.  I can then reconfigure the 'new' NIC that has appeared and it works but then later when playing with the hard drive again the same thing continues to be.  I have no idea why play with hard drives would cause this behvior.  Has anyone else seen this before?

Basically when you add SCSI devices they push the NIC of the road. This isn't a problem with Vmware so much as a problem of architecture

  • UPDATED HP freeses and crashes under Windows 7 64-bit

    Hello! I am now running Windows 7 Home premium 64 bit on my m9152p HP Pavilion Elite originally shipped with Windows Vista 64 bit... I upgraded in early spring of this year and everything has been fine until about 2 weeks ago... Each time HP Update tries to run... It hangs... This started to happen out of the blue... It ran fine up until about 2 weeks ago, when she started this behavior... I haven't had any setting or program changes that I know... He just started crashing all of a sudden... I have uninstalled and reinstalled the latest version of update HP... nothing helps... Can someone help me? Thank you!

    HI: You are not alone. I had this happen on my W7 PC 2. Works well until a week or two ago. Now when you launch the program you get just the message that the program has stopped responding. I don't have a fix. I also tried the program updated without success. I've uninstalled it. You can run the Windows update program which will take care of most of any driver and other updates for your PC. If all goes well, people have reported this problem to HP that will be able to fix it. I wonder if it has to do with the upgrades of windows security or other updates that we received last month.

  • several bsod at startup and working under windows 7

    Hello

    When I start my computer, I have the following bsod: "bad pool header" and after restarting, I "error in the box not paginated page. When I restart for the 3 times, I can access my windows desktop.

    After a while, I get a bsod again.

    someone an idea of what's going on?

    I have already copied the files to dump.

    You can find on this site: http://sdrv.ms/YYOy87

    Hello

    It's an interesting choice of dump files which you provided with. There are a lot of different Bsod that happens here:

    Bug BAD_POOL_HEADER control has a value of 0 x 00000019. This indicates that a pool header is corrupt.

    A value of 0x0000001A MEMORY_MANAGEMENT bug control a. This indicates that an error occurred serious memory management.

    CRITICAL_OBJECT_TERMINATION bug control has a value of 0x000000F4. This indicates that a process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly is released or ended.

    Including the 1st, 3 b, 76, and that, too, is 7 different ones altogether.

    But given that whenever I see the error of management of memory or lots of different bsod, my first thoughts are to perform checks on the memory and the hard drive. So I would say do you this first and let know us how you go.

    I did this operation, hundreds of times, no problems at all. Problem may occur when you reduce several CPU single-processor. Going from simple to several CPU no problem at all. Of course good to have a clone\snapsot of virtual machine before you make any change :-)

  • Rescue and recovery under 64 bit creates a 32-bit Windows 7, why?

    Hello. I have an x 201 with W7 Pro (64-bit) OEM Lenovo. I replaced the hard so I use Rescue and Recovery to have a clean install of W7 and the X 201 good pilots.

    What I did to run enhanced backup and restore and then via Advanced Rescue and Recovery, I launched the option "create rescue media. I followed the instructions and created a rescue media USB that as far as I understand leaves my X 201 as it was when it left the factory.

    I booted from the USB without problems, restore the system and to my surprise it installed Windows 7 but 32-bit 64-bit not. And no drivers (no video, no network, no USB/PCI). I'm lost here. Why is installed 32-bit when all items generated under Windows 7 Pro (64 bit) and what about drivers? Why it has not installed drivers?

    Looking at Enchaced backup and restore in my original installation icon, he says "Lenovo Enchanced backup and restore (32-bit)", so I don't know if that creates only the 32 bit instead of 64-bit OS.

    I'll now factory recovery disc option allows to see if that solved the problem.

    At this point, I thought that icon factory recovery disc was the same as the use of "create rescue media", because the two pretend to leave the hard drive in the same way, it was when the laptop has left the factory.

    If someone could clarify the difference between the two: 'factory recovery disk'vs'create rescue media', and also why the last of them creates a 32-bit OS rather than the 64-bit what it was supposed to create

    I will report how it goes with the task of recovery factory disc that I use now.

    Hello

    Quite interresting situaiton and to be honest not usual.

    However, what should happen, once you have created a rescue media, it's that you should have on the end, a single bootable media, using which you can save, etc.

    However, this support of rescue should not contain any OS, it should be only a boneless bootable media. The operating system and the rest should be on a separate stand.

    In the case where you had the original x 64 Bit OS, then using the recovery CD (as you confirmed as) should have restored the system to the State, as you received it.

    I don't understand, why it needs to change the version of the OS to another, when you initially x64Bit.
    Maybe some background info would be useful.

    See you soon
