No option to import foreign disks
I moved an IDE drive in a USB Caddy hooked up to my XP Pro laptop XP Pro machine. It appears in management of disks as a foreign dynamic disk, but when I right click there is no option to import.
Alternatively, you can solve the problem by converting the dynamic disk to Basic. To convert the disk, use the Dskprob.exe tool.
Important If you do not properly use the Dskprob.exe tool, this process can cause you to lose all the data the disk. This process only works if you have not used one of the new features of dynamic disks. These features include extending a partition or by using the software redundant array of independent Disk (RAID).

PERC 6 / I imported foreign configuration is incorrect
Hi there, we have PowerEdge 2950 with ESX 3.5. Until our problem, we 4x750GB RAID 5 config. Week ago, we found that drive in location 1 is down, as usual remove us it and replaced again, next day there show that is to die. OK, in the PERC BIOS utility, it has been disconnected, next day we started backing up the data of the ESX Server, but during this process storage had disappeared from the ESX Server, after reboot THAT PERC told us that there is no RAID config and he held foreign config. We open the PERC BIOS utility and then import foreign config, but RAID level is now 10 (ie use discs 0,2,3) total storage size is 1.3 TB! We restart the server, ESX is running but with VM storage is missed :(
My question is, can I delete current VD of the PERC BIOS utility and create new VD with disk HARD 0,2,3 (1 is offline) RAID 5 without initializing it?
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Mnemoic,
With Raid 5, after offline due to enter a foreign configuration, you should have wiped out foreigners. Now with the table as it is currently, what we need to do to get it back would be to start the Perc BIOS and "Retag" of the table. To do this, we recreate the table as it was configured initially, but less initialization. If you initialize the array after you configure, it would remove the data. So you have to hit F2 on the main page. Select Create VD. From there on, configure the Raid 5 with the same discs. Once you set up, and DO NOT INITIALIZE the array, then you will equip the server. While in offline mode, remove the drive which did not. Once the original failed drive is removed, the power of the server and see if it will boot the operating system normally. If so, then I suggest to get a complete backup of the data. After that then make sure the Raid Controller is current on firmware and update if necessary. Once it's over, then reinsert the defective drive and see if it rebuilt. If this is not the case, then replace the drive.
Let me know if it helps.

your help page refers to the menu option that I don't seem to have. There's no option 'Firefox' on the top menu line or on any menu line. I checked all the option toolbar for the menu drop down. Also, I try to import bookmarks from Safari, but there is no option to 'import' in the menu drop down "file".
You can find the entry menu import into the Manager of bookmarks (library)

ESX - Option of expandable virtual disk from VM
When using converter to import my old Server Virtual Machines VMWare ESX Server, I noticed that the option 'enable to display virtual disk files' seems to be missing. Is it just me or this feature is not available with the virtual machines in ESX 3.5? If so, all the virtual machines in ESX need to have space disk allocated in advance? (I know that the question relates to the converter, but it relates more to ESX).
(Screenshot attached for quick reference)
Thank you
Tony
Hello
Moved to the forum of the Virtual Machine and the guest operating system because this issue is more about VMS ESX itself.
VMware ESX by default uses a VMDK resetting thickness because it works better and provides better security than any of the other formats. Consider that when you're a disc you will suffer SCSI reservation requests, and these can cause havoc within the virtual infrastructure up to the stop. Granted, it's usually very busy systems, but they should be avoided at all times to increase performance.
You can use vmkfstools once the VMDK's in ESX to convert other formats as you want, but VMware Converter does not allow it.
Best regards

No option to import/export in the contacts folder
My CONTACTS folder has no Import / Export options display. However if I create a new folder under the folder CONTACTS these options are there in this new folder.
If I delete the CONTACTS folder, create a new folder and rename - no still no import / export.
If I right click in an empty space in the right pane of the CONTACTS folder as suggested on the Microsoft site there is no "customize this folder" as I am told to wait.
It seems that there is only a permit CONTACTS folder and deleted if its properties are lost - but reappear in any regeneration. Weird.
Any help welcome.
Problem solved.
I had a shortcut on my desktop in my contacts folder.
I deleted the contacts folder and the new subfolder.
I created a new folder under my user name and renamed him CONTACTS.
I then consulted the file to the shortcut on the desktop and... LO AND BEHOLD the import / export options are back!
As I had a recent .csv file I imported which and I'm now a happy chappy.
Thank you very much

"Delete partition" option grayed out in disk management
When I went to the Windows disk management 7, I tried to delete the volume and the deleted volume then to 'free space '. For some reason, when I then tried to remove the volume 'free space', the option is grayed out.

How can I make the option available again?
Well, you can not remove the space on a hard disk, you can delete the partition, but
space still exist (raw)... However, in Win7, you can extend the partition

Sparse files in Destination options to import / copy the settings?
I just started using LR CC and imported from a camera card and my Aperture library before I knew enough to know better.
SO now I have these stray files in the destination options. Under the Masters folder which is my highest level, I have to 2015 and 2016. They are also on the structure of folders on the hard drive operating system.
If I remove the HDD LR says that it cannot find the 2016 folder, for example? But there is nothing in this record, and it does not appear on the list of folders. See below.
This does not seem to be a problem, it just bothers me. Can I get rid of the reference to these files somehow?
Hi alani,
Please check if there is no image in the file, you can right click (Ctrl + click) on the folder and delete the folder Panel.
Like wise you can do this for any folder that is empty and not mandatory.
Let me know if it helps.
Kind regards
