• the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased

  I have a MBP with 2 SSD. Yosemite is running on the SSD that has been partitioned 1 TB to a 150 / 850 GB volumes.

  I wanted to install Windows 10 using Boot Camp but after succesfully download Windows software support that I can not go to the next step where I have to choose a volume (Pluto). Wizard Boot Camp shows my SSD and when I chose the following warning is displayed:

  "the drive seem to have been partitioned by another utility and cannot be erased."

  I see that Pluto isn't GUID and maybe that's the problem, but there are already some data on the volume of 850 GB that I can't erase. Is there a way to fix this without destroying the data? I don't even know why Pluto doesn't have GUID in the first place...

  Thnx,

  G

  

  You have two entries 'Pluto '. The outermost is a volume CoreStorage group, which has two volumes, one is named Pluto, the other is TerraNova. The 512 GB of Samsung is your second physical disk. The Pluto in the BC Assistant is the complete LVG, not only the volume of Pluto, which contains also of Terra Nova.

  BCA does not support such a configuration on your MBP. You will need to backup your data or manually partition the disk and do a little terminal work, if you want to install Windows in this configuration. The second SSD will complicate it further. You may need to physically remove the disk non-windows in order to install Windows.

  Your end of 2011 Mac does not support Windows 10 as described in using 10 Windows on your Mac with Boot Camp - Apple support . You will encounter problems of pilot.

• 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected. What now?

  original title: Desktop sidebar gadgets

  When you download a new gadget which folder does download while it appears in the selection of additional gadget.  I can't find a record that relates to the sidebar or gadgets on my computer.  Ran a search, and they do not always show upward.  In addition, instructions to restore gadgets installed with the computer: do right click Select sidebar - select Properties - 'Restore gadgets installed with windows' this selection is gray and cannot be selected.  What now?

  Here are the steps to download and install new gadgets. http://freewindowsvistatutorials.com/meetWindowsVista/windowsSidebarAndGadgets/downloadAndInstallSidebarGadgets.htm. There is no particular place to download - usually, I download them to the desktop for installation and then I use C:\Users\personal myself (with a special created Gadgets folder it contains) to store the download for use later, if necessary (assuming that I save it at all). Also, this procedure explains how to remove gadgets using the sidebar, so you don't have to go looking to uninstall files or anything like that.

  As far as the original gadgets go, here's a thread on the same problem with a solution which is marked as an answer (even if the person who has posted never confirmed it worked):http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vistaprograms/thread/1a979f08-a67e-43a6-a87c-3fa02dff9be1.

  If this does not work, perhaps to restore the entire box will solve the problem.  Here's how:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/963010.  It can uninstall everything new gadgets that you added when it resets to zero (and I'm not positive that it will restore the original gadgets if he can fix the button greyed out), but if you accept that, it's worth a try.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• Help, please! A master hard disk partition information lost and cannot start the Vista system

  I have Vista with my dell desktop computer.  I guess I got a virus that has deleted/messed my main hard drive.  All of sudden my computer was dead and when I try to restart, I found I can't boot the system.  I loaded the DVD for the resettlement of Dell to come with the computer and try to install it.  But it shows "Disk 0 unallocated space" with 222 GB and 'Disk 0 Partition 2 Recovery' with 10 GB.  I could not install Vista on the first, as it says "Windows must be installed on a partition formatted in NTFS.

  How could I solve this problem?  I could not allow me to format the drive because there a lot of data, that I just can't lose.

  Any help is very welcome!

  Knoppix is not installed on your PC; use only the resources of your PC, RAM, graphics etc.

  Change the boot order in YOUR computer/laptop to the CD/DVD Drive 1^st in the boot order.

  Plug a Flash Drive/Memory Stick, BOOT with the Live CD, and you should be able to read the hard drive.

  When the desktop loads, you will see at least two drive hard icons on the desktop (one for your hard drive) and one for the USB key.

  Click on the icons of hard drive to open and to understand which drive is which.

  Click the icon for the USB drive and click on "Actions > Change the read/write mode" so you can write to disk (it is read-only by default for security reasons).

  Now to find the files you want to back up, just drag and drop them on the USB. When you're done, shut down the system and remove the USB key.

• System restore calendar is empty, cannot set new points and cannot use Windows help.

  Original title: registry problem affecting system restore etc.

  The system restore calendar is empty, I can't put new points, and I can't use Windows help because I can not type in the dialog box. If the problem is described in the doc #313853, the solution he proposed did not. Defeating my cleanups registry also seems not to help. Any suggestions?

  To all of you who have tried to help me with this problem, I recently came across a solution - I had to reinstall Internet Explorer, which I think had been compromised by my registry cleaner. I never use, so it didn't occur to me that there is something wrong with it. But that seems to have fixed all the problems.

• Problem with external HARD disk - cannot mount the mac partition and can't unmount the partition windows

  Hi all

  Need your help. I have problems with my external hard drive. I worked on it yesterday when the cable is a little detached and disassembled my intestinal HARD drive.

  Here are the specs:

  1 Macbook Air 11.5 "running on El Capitan (10.11.1)

  2 Buffalo Ministation external (1 TB) HARD disk divided into two: a Mac partition (for time machine) and the other a windows on FAT32 partition.

  Before the accident yesterday, it was working OK.

  Now, when I connect the HARD drive, it turns on but the Mac partition cannot be mounted (it does not appear on the Finder. I opened disk utility... just load forever and does not work) and the Windows partition is visible... but I can't take it apart without turning my computer.

  I can assemble and disassemble a USB stick very well.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you!

  Maybe you can explain a little better.

  I would like to make some general comments before having your replay.

  It is not wise to use TM on a disk with apple unformatted or partitions, it is preferable to have a dedicated TM drive also.

  For TM, the rule is that the drive is about 3 times the size of the boot disk.

  Normally you 'survive' a good step disassemble the drive external, but in this case with a another partition formatted on this subject, I'm not sure if that do not corrupt the disk, especially since the Windows partition is bootable. I have suspct the partition GUID on the TM partition table is corrupt.

  I propose to start the disk completely: in DiskUtility select the 'higher' level (name of manufacturer) and the Partition, one OS X Extended (journaled) partition table Partition GUID. And use it only for TM, is not too big for this.

  Have another drive formatted NTFS for Windows.

  I found the problem. I opened 'File' then saw 'save as template' grayed. Having not worked with models, I didn't know this isn't how it's done.

  What I should have done was file > save as > then clicked the drop-down 'Save as template' menu option. It was a simple mistake. Thanks to you all.

  Hello golden2,.

  Please, try the procedure described in this article using the disc is ejected.

  Get help with the SuperDrive slot on your Mac - Apple Support loading

  Do not eject discs or discs eject slowly

  1. If the drive ejects discs slowly or appears to have difficulty, insert and eject a disc several times. Check the disc to see if it has a label or other material stuck to the disc which increases the thickness. Remove the label if possible.
  2. If the disc does not eject, try pressing the eject on the keyboard button. Some older keyboards may use the F12 key to eject the disc.
  3. If the disc does not eject, try dragging the icon of the disk to the trash.
  4. If the disc will still not eject, try to hold down the mouse or trackpad button after you restart the computer. The Superdrive should attempt to eject the disc.
  5. If the disc still does not eject, reset the System Management Controller (SMC) and repeat steps 1 to 4.
  6. If the disc still does not eject, Contact Apple or an provider of services authorized Apple, or make an appointment with a Store Apple Store for further assistance.

  Take care.

• Cannot display images in browsers - diagonal stripes of gray and white

  Some of our users reported issues where they cannot see the images on websites in any browser (firefox, chrome or ie).

  All they can see are gray and white stripes diagonals, in the area where the image should be. Web pages are fine as I can visualize without problems on other computers running the same software. I suspect this is due to an update of windows as this problem seems to be that slowly moves through our network.
  Anyone seen this before?
  Thank you, Kevin

  Hey Kevin,

  ·         What version of IE are you using?

  ·         Is the problem only with browsers or other applications?

  ·         The computer is on a domain network?

  I'm having a lot of problems with firefox and cannot figure out how to get help. It all started when I updated to 13. I get all kinds of advertising popups, I can't play a game on FaceBook called Farm Town at all, and I get a popup of AVG on the cookies that I can't get rid of. These issues are causing me to use Chrome quite often, although I like Fox better. I've searched and searched how to get help and find nothing. How can I get personalized technical help? These problems will not occur in Chrome at all. Thank you.
