• All my Word documents somehow got converted to the format of WordPad and not change back. Why?

  I just noticed that all the documents I have stored on my hard drive got converted to format WordPad somehow.  I have no idea why.  When I open Word and then open the file in Word and click to save it in word, it always records in WordPad format.  I have no idea why this started happening.  When I create a new file with Word and save it, it also converts somehow in WordPad format.  I'm totally stumped.  How can I fix?

• Query to convert RAW disk

  I'm working on a Compaq Presario C300.

  Windows XP pro.

  When I had, he had 2 SP installed, I managed to get 3 SP installed OK, but it does not accept windows updates... & is very slow, freezes from time to time... There is not a lot of data on it, I backed it up. At this point, I'm ready to wipe the machine & reinstall XP, when I try to do that, the hard drive is not seen, even though if I go into the BIOS & run check IDE drive he finished OK.

  When I restart a message flashes upward, the beginning of a screen blue scndisk, saying: could not complete the process as type if RAW disk... Despite the fact that there is an operating system on it, how can it be possible?

  When I look in computer management, disk management there are no drives listed, only the CD ROM

  There is a partition to restore the system on this machine, but when I boot it I either get a message flash on the screen for a second or 2 on the machine in virtual memory that it just restarts.

  Initially, I thought that the BIOS was the problem, but has managed to update the BIOS to version F24 OK.

  I have the original OS disks, but when I run I get the message saying that the installation can not find any hard disk installed on the computer.  Any help most welcome.

• RAW disk mapping - virtual Conversion / physics?

  Hi all

  I have set up a machine virtual everything on time with a basic disk and also an extra disk I configured as a "Raw Disk Mapping. When I set up the new drive with the wizard in VC, he asked me if I wanted to set up the drive as a virtual disk or physical disk. The Assistant said that if I set it up as a virtual drive, it might be included in the snapshots etc...

  At this point I have it configured with physical access.

  What I want to do now is to convert the disk to a virtual disk, so I wonder if there is a way to do it?

  Best regards, Nick.

  Stop the virtual machine and delete the ROW. Then add the ROW to the VM in virtual compatibility mode and start your virtual machine. You should be good.

• Re format ntfs drive?

  Hi all

  I found a 320 GB NTFS drive usb3 "Bipra' mark on amazon for £24.  Sounds like all the rest and mac to format those are double this price or usb2 only. They get good reviews, as they seem to contain some Seagate drives.  Can I get this one and just re - format? That would save me quite a quid.  As Mac can't read the NTFS (apparently) can they still reformat them?

  Ta

  Mac can read NTFS disks but impossible, without software, to write about them. Yes, you can use disk utility to reformat the drive Mac OS Extended journaled. If you intend to drive must be bootable OS x, you will also need to partition (a single partition is very well) by using the GUID partition scheme.

  How to convert a dynamic disk to a basic? I can't really deleat the C and readers of the system, and if so, how?

  Hi Brad,

  Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for the query display.

  According to the description, it seems that you want to convert a dynamic disk to Basic.

  However, we need more information about the issue to help you better.

  Please help me to answer these questions.

  1 how many partitions are on the hard drive?

  2 is installed Windows on drive C?

  3. you have any operating system installed on the hard drive?

  To convert the dynamic disk to basic, here are some steps that you can try.

  You can try to convert the dynamic disk drive basis (except your drive C :) using the Diskpart.exe in the command line. By following these steps, you can avoid reinstalling Windows XP. But if you want all the hard disk as a single partition, then proceed as follows.

  Note: Before formatting the hard drive or perform the steps, back up your data to an external storage device.

  Steps to convert dynamic disk to basic
  

  a. press Windows key + r on the keyboard and in the immediate window, type cmd.exe

  b. in the command prompt and type D iskpart .

  c. at the Diskpart prompt, type list disk . Note the number of the disk you want to convert to dynamic.

  d. at the Diskpart prompt, type select disk . (select the dynamic disk you want to convert.)

  e. at the Diskpart prompt, type clean to remove all volumes on the disk.

  (f) then, at the Diskpart prompt, type: convert base to begin to restore the disk to basic training.

  It seems that there is typo in the file extensions of the virtual disk, i.e. '.vdmk' instead of 'hard '!

• VDR and RAW disk

  Hello everyone, just to confirm: RAW disk are supported by only if VDR mode virtual, right?

  Also, is it possible to back up a single virtual disk, I.e. C only to a virtual windows machine?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  VDR uses snapshots to back up the virtual machine. Drives ROUGH that support snapshots in virtual mode, then you are on the first part.

  It is possible to backup virtual disks with VDR. But don't mix no disks and partitions Windows here. It is possible to create a 100 GB virtual disk and create a 50 GB C: and 50 GB D: in this example, you could save only two partitions because you only have a virtual disk.

  If you create a virtual disk for each partition, you can of course save it one by one.

  Kind regards.

• external USB disk as a raw disk

  Hello

  I was looking for the solution but could not find.

  I have VMware server installed 1.0.6 on Windows XP.

  Machine VM I created since the downturn of the performance, I thought using raw disk option (I hope that better read/write performance).

  I want to format my external drive (WD My Book), using ext3 or xfs. Next, I would like to add as a 'raw disk' (not VMDK). I don't know why, but when I check the settings & gt; Material & gt; Hard drive there is no option to add PhisicalDrive which is the USB drive. VMware server can see only my hard drive (PhisicalDrive0) on the laptop, but nothing else.  Is this normal? Can I add PhisicalDrive which is the external drive connected to the USB port? If Yes, please indicate how tcan I do.

  USB devices can be "directly" connected to the virtual machine. FireWire devices are considered as a pci device and will not be seen by the virtual machine, like an ethernet card or a pcmcia wlan or other device pci card.

  You're right, that Windows XP requires a floppy drive to create the recovery disk.
  Most newer systems do not have a floppy drive.

• I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp.

  I would like to replace my drive 160gig hard with the disk hard 320gig on my laptop running xp. Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?  I would that all is the same except the size of your hard drive will be increased.

  Is it possible to transfer the exact content from one disk to another without having to re - install operating systems and programs etc. ?

  Yes.

  You use the disk cloning software.  In some cases, a new player may even be bundled with software that will do this for you.

  Unless your laptop has a second drive Bay (most don't), you will also need an external hard drive enclosure.  As a general rule, these connect via the USB port, although if your laptop has a connector FireWire or eSATA you can also use these interfaces.

  You must select your external enclosure based on 3 criteria: the type of connection to the laptop. the physical size of the disc (2 1/2 inches for computer laptop drives); and player interface (determined by the connection of the internal drive of your laptop). For example only (no recommendation), if you wanted an enclosure for a 2.5 IDE drive "which connects using USB 2.0, Newegg has 17 products

  The (slightly) more expensive items among the software, you will need.  For example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817155602 this particular House will work with SATA or IDE drives.

  If you buy an external enclosure that doesn't include cloning software, the software may be available for free from the manufacturer of the new 320 GB drive (e.g., http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get it separately (this is not an exhaustive list):
