Partition is not on the local machine

Hey guys,.

So an old machine to Windows XP of my friends just died, but the hard drive is still intact. I wanted to take the hard drive and create a virtual machine from him on my computer because it has some old games I have modded that used to run on newer versions of windows. I chose powered on the Local computer and my destination, but in the next window, there all the partitions on all my selected hard drives, but the one I need. I can uncheck all others, including other external hard drives that I use for stuff like itunes. The partition of the old XP machine will not be displayed. He is not corrupt, as I can use it as an external and access all my old files without error

My question is, is there a different way, I'll have to do the conversion, or I'm going to have to fix the old machine and I can convert it on the network?

Thank you!

OK, let me first correct a mistake that I made - workstation allows you to create a virtual machine with a hard drive external. However, it must be connected before WS (I tried the other way yesterday).

Also, let me remind that - you can't do a P2V with this disk without booting from it. Converter must recognize the volume system and make reconfiguration; only, this can happen when you convert your local machine. You can try although V2V by creating a VM wrapper in my computer. I don't know if you have WS. If this isn't the case, I'm not sure whether the player can do this thing. You may need to check this.

In fact, there is a way to converter see external drives - there is an option in the converter - Worker.XML (thanks to POCEH for reminding me that I forgot). Looking for plugins/converter_agent/skipRemovableDisks; It must be set to 'true', then restarted service worker. Converter - Worker.xml is located in "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\VMware\VMware vCenter Converter Standalone"

And finally (and above all), there is something suspicious in the other USB drive appears and XP do not show. Either the option above is disabled and converter has detected somehow as local (strange) or enabled (unlikely?) and the XP disk is damaged and cannot be read. Run a check if necessary.

HTH and greetings,

Plamen

Addendum: Hmm, after trying that with a flash stick he appeared that conversion failed at the beginning of the cloning with 'Impossible to open the source disk'. Unfortunately I have no idea why :-(

Too bad, it looked like a nice hack...

  • 'not on the local disk file' warning when it is absolutely

    Use DreamweaverCC2014 for the first time. Work on a MacPro running old Yosemite.

    I define a new site, specifying the directory in which the files of my site are stored. The site has a single page named index.htm, in the root directory, which has a link to a CSS style sheet named 'main.css' in a directory named "_css". The CSS file is contained in the directory and will appear in the Dreamweaver files as expected tab. The link to the style sheet is properly trained on the index.htm page.

    In the top left of the workspace, I see two buttons: one for 'Source Code', which, when selected, displays the source code of the page, I'm working. Next to it is a button that says 'main.css', which is EXPECTED to open up the CSS page and change it. However, when I click on this button, I get an icon of the caveat, as well as the message that says:

    "'main.css' is not on the local drive."

    Next to this is a link that says 'Get', which I suppose, when clicked, would allow me to find and recreate a link to the style sheet. However, such is not the case. Instead, I get a warning window that says:

    "' main.css isn't in a defined site.

    When I look at the page in Live View mode, the style sheet appears not, rather just the sheet without style. Looking at it in a browser, however, don't.

    The code is correct; I checked one re-checked it. The files are all in place and appear as expected in the files Panel. Any thoughts on why Dreamweaver think this CSS file does not exist?

    As this question decreased my confidence in using the software for a project of criticism, I contacted Adobe technical support for assistance.

    It is a known problem.

    The problem has to do with DW 'confused' if there is another file in the disc root of site that may have the same name. In my case, there was (I tend to name the CSS files for my sites with terribly generic 'main' designation). The representative suggested that I create a completely new site root, which put my file structure and see if the problem resolves. I did two things:

    First, I installed a brand new installation of DWCC2014 on my MacPro laptop. Existing site no file any on this machine. Then, I created a new site, using a copy of the files in my original troublesome site structure. Except that it's on a machine that has no other sites or files, I repeat the test using the exact same files and the structure of folders. When I click on the button Source Code, I see the HTML source code. And when I click the CSS button CSS file displayed as expected!

    Next experience... back to my MacPro desktop. I copy the site files on a hard drive that is completely different from the one I used in my failed attempt earlier to make it work. Once again, even the files and structure, only difference is the different physical location of files on a hard drive. The HTML source code is displayed, and when the user clicks the button, CSS, CSS page also displayed as expected. Problem solved!

    So, I hope that my experience (and the solution) are useful in case others run into the same issue. Yet once, it is a problem known to Adobe, so chances are good, one of you will have this problem. The solution is to place your files into a whole new site root out any who might have similar file names, not to "confuse" DW.

  • Launching applications from partition Bootcamp without starting the virtual machine

    Hi all, installed Fusion because my colleague was furious about how you can launch applications without even opening the windows. But I was not able to do. I use a Bootcamp partition and is not, and I'm assuming that this is the reason why this feature is not available for me, but if someone could shed some light on this would be great!

    Thank you

    I think that your colleague is a bit confused. By definition, any product of virtualization to run a prompt to perform a request for comments. If you start in Unity mode, you might see Windows not running, but it's there. I suspect that what your colleague is talking about is the suspension in Unity mode. If you then start a Notes application, the virtual machine will resume, and since it is in Unity mode, it will appear to run the comments without Windows display application.

    Run a Boot Camp virtual machine means that you can not suspend (or snapshot, but that is irrelevant to this issue) because this can lead to corruption of the disk.

  • files appear in Dreamweaver, but not in the local folder

    I have set up and set my site... I listed paintingfrance as my local folder where I would like my stored files. So when I opened Dreamweaver, I see all the files on the local folder... tab but when I go to my hard drive and look under the Files\paintingfrance program, the folder is empty. I can edit the files in Dreamweaver and download them - that everything works well, but it's a mystery why they are not in the local folder on my computer.

    You have probably two folders named paintingfrance on your computer.

    Do a search for files with the same name and when you have found the site folder, delete the empty folder in Program files.

    The Program folder files is where the programs install themselves, should not be used to store documents.

  • Problems downloading a file of muse for the first time. Museutils.js is not on the local disk on the file index.html.

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help because I'm a little desperate.

    I started to design a page with a muse of Qooqee model: SENSE.

    I worked for a month on this issue. When I was about to finish, I got a message that there is a new version of Muse to update. I did the update when I was still working in the design.

    When I finished the desktop version, I downloaded using the "upload to the ftp host" button. All fine until he has gave a "error on the index.html file.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 2.02.16 PM.png

    So, I was unable to complete the first uploaded to the online page.

    My husband, who knows a bit about coding, opened the index.html file, and we have seen a warning: MUSEUTILS. JS IS NOT ON THE LOCAL DISK.

    Screen Shot 2016-02-17 at 9.43.24 PM.png

    Reading questions similar to the forum that I can guess that the problem has been built with I started with the earlier version of the Muse and updated the Muse version in the workplace, when I finished the page.

    Now, the page is not alive because I am not able to download the file.

    I don't know if that's the problem, however. I downloaded a fresh sense of QooQee model and erase all content and pages name I will use them (he has added a few pages and I moved the contact page somewhere else on the site map). Then, publish the page Go Daddy and have the same problem. Error on the index.html file. For that I am lost again, because everything has been done with the same version of Muse and the latest model of sense (I don't know how they update the models).Screen Shot 2016-02-18 at 12.12.01 PM.png

    Can you please give an idea on how to solve the problem? What I have to redo the entire page?

    Thanks in advance, you are my last hope.

    Good to see that we can exclude a Muse for the functioning and the collection of production. The problem must lie in the specifics and/or requirements of GoDaddy, hosting provider. The Muse team is very aware of being a very popular hosting provider GoDaddy , so they want to learn all the occasional problems or quirks that might appear with Muse in combination with these suppliers. It might have to do with the current version of Muse, but it could also be a coincidence that GoDaddy has begun to change some things on their side as well. Or it could even be a Gremlin (colloquial term for a software bug temporary and inexplicable) blocking a circuit which seems to happen from time to time...

    Are you sure that you follow all the advice and guidelines in this FAQ: download an Adobe Muse of the site to a third-party hosting service ?

  • Could not open the virtual machine

    I used the customer convertor to create this virtual machine from one which works well on ESxi.  When I try to open on Win7-64 machines running vmplayer 3.1.4 I get the following error:

    Could not open the virtual machine: file "D:\Data\VM Machines\WW S2008_32\WW S2008_32.vmx 10_1 10_1" line 1: syntax error.

    Any ideas?

    "" "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx.zip" attached file contains the "WW 10_1 S2008_32.vmx" file created under VMware Player 3.1.4 and was then modified to reflect the values of parameter that you might want to stay the same as uuid etc.  Start VMware Player and then check the settings before running the virtual machine.

  • Impossible to get 'notes' of the virtual machine

    I tried to use a powershell script to get information from the virtual machine. I can get VMHost, VMname and GuestVersion using the script in the following, but failed to get the notes of the virtual machine. Anyone know why I can't get notes, please help me with that. Thank you in advance.

    report = @)
    foreach ($vmView in (Get-View - ViewType VirtualMachine))
    {
    $report += $vmView. Select-Object @{Name = "$vmhost"; Expression = {($vmView.Runtime.Host Get-View).} Name}},
    @{Name = "VMName"; Expression = {$_.} Name}},
    @{Name = 'Notes'; Expression = {$_.} Description}},

    @{Name = "GuestVersion"; {Expression = {$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
    }
    $report | Sort-Object VMName-descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" - NoTypeInformation

    There is no need to do it with the cmdlet Get-View.

    You can do

    $report = @()foreach ($vm in Get-VM){    $report += $vm | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={($_.Host).Name}},            @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},            @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Description}},            @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$_.Guest.OSFullName}}}$report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    

    If you want to do with the cmdlet Get-View for any reason, you can do

    $report = @()
    foreach ($vmView in (Get-View -ViewType VirtualMachine))
    {
        $report += $vmView | `        Select-Object @{Name="VMHost"; Expression={(Get-View $vmView.Runtime.Host).Name}},
                @{Name="VMName"; Expression={$_.Name}},
                @{Name="Notes"; Expression={$_.Config.Annotation}},
                @{Name="GuestVersion"; Expression={$vmView.Guest.GuestFullName}}
    }
    $report | Sort-Object VMName -Descending | Export-Csv "d:\vm_GuestVersion.csv" -NoTypeInformation
    

    But note that as you need a view of the GET each time for the host name, performance will suffer.

  • I just installed DW 13.2.  Linked files (all CSS, scripts...) "are not on the local disk" - all works in CS6. Help..?

    I just installed DW 13.2.  Linked files (all CSS, scripts...) "are not on the local disk" - all works in CS6. Help...

    When I insert one of the page of the Web site, it shows in the design window.  But when I try to bring any document linked in the left window, code, it is empty and the message says: "whatever.css is not on the local drive.  Also, when I click on LIVE, the file looks like she does not see the file CSS, no images.

    The same site looks and works OK in the DW CS6.

    I'm on Maverick - 2012 Mac Pro - 2 x 2.66 12-core, 64 GB of RAM.

    I configured the same way as CS6 preferences.  Same location of the site, same links.

    Am I missing something?  What should I do?  I uninstalled the DW CC, cleaned pref and installed it again.  Same question.

    Help, please.

    I think, I solved the problem, but I still think that the Dreamweaver does not recognize the addresses.

    I then drive CC_A BB_A Web sites (these are the actual names of the readers).  It's always the disk 'data', apart from the OS, but with a different name.  everything works.  Opening files referred to in the script window, 'live' works as supposed.

    I can only speculate that readers 'CC_A' name has confused the program called CC.

    I can find no other explanation, since, in addition to the name of the drive - everything else is the same.

    Thanks for trying to help.

    Hello

    This message appears usually when the JVM cannot allocate sufficient memory. It may be the consequence of the stage Builder set - Xmx1024m command line: this is currently followed by default TLD-4515 and will be fixed in the next few weeks.
    For the time being you can give a try on a system with more memory. Moreover, what is your current hardware configuration?
