• HP Envy 17 t: what size usb drive is necessary for the recovery of HP Envy 17 t 10 (64-bit) Windows?

  I just installed my HP Envy and wanted to set up a recovery disk.  The USB key must be less than 32gigs, but the example has not been updated for Windows 10 the instructions say.  It shows a recovery screen for a laptop of Win8 with the source of recovery like 17 concerts.   Is there a way to check the requirements for the front to accept the HP one time recovery option.  I have a new 16 GB USB key and wanted to make sure that it is large enough.

  Also do a backup image to DVD?   If so, how many DVDs?   The laptop is new and I added only Chrome and some minor programs.  My data files are always on an external hard drive.

  Hello

  Thanks for posting in the Forum from HP Support.

  To be honest, I don't know what size will be that these recovery files are because they can vary from the version of Windows to another. They can vary from a model.

  In my opinion, 16 GB is probably not enough.

  DVDs are usually 6 (6x4.7 GB = about 28 GB) but this can vary from one model.

  This possibility of imbedding maybe once, there are other ways that you can save your system indefinitely.

  This is a free option included in all windows (creating system image, it's free as included in Vista from the outset).

  However, this option requires (e.g. USB HDD) external HARD disk or DVD. It does not work with USB flash drives.

• Dell PowerEdge 2900 RAID and drive down

  I have a Dell PowerEdge 2900 server. The primary transmission table has three drives and RAID 5. The system came this way, and it has been humming for quite a long time. Recently, one of the disks has deteriorated and the light on the drive flashes green and light amber. The light amber, I figured, it means that there is a problem with the drive and must be replaced. Then, I found a replacement on Amazon.com drive and installed (the drive is hot, but my cold started to be sure). I installed the drive, but keeps flashing green and amber light.

  I didn't know that I shouldn't have to replace the drive in this way, so I will now try to figure out what to do next. I hoped to reallocate the foreign disk so that I can use it, but my server always shows the reader, not having even if the new replacement drive is in the slot, now.

  I'm running PERC 5 / I integrated utility of Configuration Bios 1.04 - 019 a

  I started the server and you press CTRL-R. I've highlighted the controller and press the F2 key, what is operations. When the operations window opens, there are three menu items:

  Create new VD
  Zero Config reset
  Foreign config

  The only thing that I am allowed to do in this menu is to reset the configuration. I can't move my cursor upwards or downwards for one of the other choice of two menu.

  Scroll when the virtual disk and he discovers, it still shows the first two discs and a lack.

  When I press CTRL + N to display the next screen, I see a player listed as failed.

  How can I rebuild my RAID with this new drive? If I can't do it, what is the best way to remove the RAID and start over? If I delete the RAID and do it again (and if my replacement drive is indeed well), how can I make sure that my server not to see it, not having so that I can start using it?

  Alternating flashing green/orange means that the disc is in a status of predictive failure. What OS is running system? If you hotswap drive next failure they may possibly other issues table because the drive was online and participating in the table with errors on the disk. The adequate alternative method is to use our software Openmanage Server Administrator to run a consistency check on the table and then the drive offline. Once this has been done you can then swap the drive. It seems that in your case, that the new drive had bad data copied on it and it made a predictive failure as well. We want to do is run our hard drive diagnostics and test drives in the system.

• Replacement of 73 GB drives with 300 GB drives on a PowerEdge 2900 server

  I have a 8 years, PowerEdge 2900 OS hard drives are almost full (73 GB of mirrored disks @ 95% full), I would like to replace it with a 300 GB drives to buy me another year.  I have an image of the disc, but when I put the new disks in the Raid Controller said missed me the VFD.

  How can I get the Raid Controller to recognize new readers, if I can put the image on them?

  FBCJohn,

  The VD was missing when you deleted the 73 GB drives, what he lived.  The reason why you see VD lack is due to the fact that VD configuration information are stored on the disks and the controller. When the controller see that he did not drive with the corresponding configuration such that it has, it will show missing VD.

  The easiest way for them to just be seen by the controller would be to simply create a new VD with older readers. Then reinstall OS and reimage.

  If you plan on trying to maintain the existing VFD and then let me know and we can go from there, because the process is more complex.

  Let me know.

• Help move my datastore on external USB drive to reformat with correct block size

  Hello

  I use a Dell PowerEdge 2650 with a 550 GB disks configured in RAID 5 with ESX 3.5i

  When I installed ESX I didn't pay attention to the size of the block. This is the default 1 MB and so I reached the maximum extends. Which means that I can receive only 260 GB on my 550 GB.

  I need to change the parameter to a block size of 4 MB in order to access the entire table.

  But for this I need to move my existing data store that contains a lot of important files for me.

  I have not any currenty server with 260/300 GB of free space.

  I'll try the following:

  1. connect an external USB drive. I have ssh running, but I'm having difficulties to climb. I looked for info, but I am always sick.

  2. If possible, I would like to compress using gzip great records in my data store before moving. Can advise you on the location of the files in the system and if it is possible to do?

  Thank you

  Chris

  It is clear now,

  in this case if your VM's you buy a big enough hard drive 250 GB single VMDK file to copy all virtual machine configuration, not he zip or compress, you can screw all of the data on disk

  I have an idea, depends on the amount of data you have on your virtual hard disk, you can use VMware converter 4.0.1 and clone your VM with discs thin provision, Vmware converter will be "zipp" your VMDK file to the exact size of your data without any risk that would have lost you all your data.

  1 use vmware converter to clone your VM with discs thin provisioned

  2. low source VM

  3. start the VM 'new' and check if it works well

  4. If 4 is OK, stop VM 'nine '.

  5. copy the new virtual machine on your USB key (set the USB you your workstation and you winscp to copy the virtual machine)

  6 remove VMFS datastore

  7. create the new VMFS datastore

  8 download VM to the new data store

  9. creating the new virtual machine based on a VMDK file

  10. start the virtual machine

  see you soon

• How can I make an external USB drive read-only?

  I'm trying to find a solution to take a USB HD in a spacing classified environment / air.  If I can make the drive read-only (like I gave him that I need to copy on these machines), then the Agency will probably approve the device.  I can't use DVDs that data are 30 + GB in size.

  Hey there, capsfanva!

  Welcome to the communities of Apple Support! It seems you need to set permissions on an external USB drive or hard drive. These permissions setting is a great way to improve the security and privacy of these elements. You've come to the right place and you will find the answer below. You must connect the device to your computer and follow these steps:

• Cannot use disk utility to create the partition of the free space on the external USB drive.

  I have a red 3 TB Western Digital drive in a USB hard drive docking station.

  The reader is GPT, and I have two volumes on it (a single volume is "Microsoft reserved", another volume is NTFS).

  The other part of my drive is 1.5 TB of free space. I want to create a new partition with free space so that I can put backups Time Machine encrypted external hard disk.

  I checked free space on the drive with my Windows machine:

  
  DISKPART> list disk
  
  Disk ### Status Size Free Dyn Gpt
  
  -------- ------------- ------- ------- --- --- 
  
  Disk 0 Online 167 GB 20 GB
  
  Disk 1 Online 465 GB 0 B *
  
  Disk 2 Online 2794 GB 1526 GB *
  
  DISKPART> select disk 2
  
  Disk 2 is now the selected disk.
  
  DISKPART> list part

  DISKPART>
  

  DiskPart displays 2 partitions - a 128 MB and the other GB 1267 with 1526 MB of free space.

  I took the hard drive of my MacBook Pro running OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 and pulled towards the high disk utility, but for some reason, that it does not resemble the disk utility it is to see the free space, so I can't create a new volume.

  Here are a few screenshots:

  ... of the physical disk in disk utility (notice how it doesn't seem be all unallocated space on the disk to create a new volume):

  

  ... of the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the drive in disk utility:

  

  ... of information for the NTFS volume in disk utility:

  

  ... of the partitioning settings page. Notice how the sign is grayed out (I can't create another partition):

  

  

  I'm a new Mac user. My company recently gave me a Mac, so the first thing I want to do is to create a new partition on this external USB drive to put backups Time Machine figures on it.

  In the research I did find a way to do it on a mac computer without erasing the drive and starting over. But you can go to your windows computer and partition the free space of disks. Then use the mac to set the free space as mac os extended journaled. Here's what I found. http://www.PCWorld.com/article/2066191/how-to-partition-a-hard-drive.html the only other way would be to copy the file on the external drive, somewhere, so you can delete it and re partition for windows and mac. Then reinstall windows files. I'm not familiar with windows systems.

• Loading file to the Virtual Machine by using an external USB drive... Please help

  We have an environment that we would like to import and create a virtual machine. The files are on the external 1 TB external hard drive USB puppy with NTFS. The files are approximately 430 GB. I tried almost all the options to get the files to the HOST that is running the server ESXI 4.0.

  Whenever we tried to get the files using the USB drive and Vsphere client connected to a local computer running windows on the ESXI 4.0 Server somehow transfer stops after a while. Some time around after ro possibly around 250 GB 200 GB. So far, we are not able to get the hard master file that occupies about 430 GB in the ESXI data store.  We also tried the third "Fastscp" software to transfer files to the ESXI host, but we had the same problem that the transfer stops at some point.

  Another option that we tired was to start a machine with Linux live CD and USB directly attached to this machine. As the Linux version was newer USB NTFS partition hard drive has been detected without installing any NTFS disks. We have mounted the drive USB on this machine and exported the mount point. In the ESXI server using CLI not supported (Alt - F1) we were able to ride the point of editing exported and tried to copy the files to the folder main datastore but same problem the transfer stops after a few hours sometimes even near 300 GB.

  Y at - it somehow I can bypass the file transfer by using not not the network, which means that if we reach directly the USB key to the ESXI server machine does not recognize it (using Alt - F1 not CLI) because it is partitioned into NTFS. I read that ESXI only supports FAT partition.

  We also tried to start the machine running ESXI server with the latest versions of Linux, in this case, we were able to mount the USB drive directly, but because ESXI stores files with VMFS partition we couldn't mount this partition in linux.

  Could you please recommend any solution to get the files the server ESXI 4.0?  Is there a way to allow us to start the EXSI with Linux server and can mount the partition VMFS use third-party drivers? OR what you would do. Advice would be nice.

  Welcome to the forums - using the vSphere client should work - block of what size did you use to create your VMFS data store? If you left it at the default of 1 MB, then the bigger file, you can copy that VMFS datastore is 256 GB - you'll need to create the data store with a block size of 2 MB which will allow you to create a file upto 4 MB or 512 GB keast and a size of 1024 GB.

• Added another HD to create an external symbol on my server PowerEdge 2900

  I have a PowerEdge 2900 server, I thought that there Raid 5, MS Server2003. It is running out of space. I bought a to-exchangeable 2 hot - 3.5 "LFF - SATA-600 - 7200 RPM. I intend to add it as an external physical drive. If it is feasible, should what I do. Help!

  Never turn off to introduce a hot-swap drive.  Just insert it.  After a few seconds it should show on your list of physical disks in the OMSA.  If the ready state, then you can set it up in a RAID (drop-down menu for PERC) array.  If the foreign State, then this foreign configuration must first be authorized (also in the controller menu).

• Adding hard drive for poweredge 2900

  I need to add a hard drive for storage on a server poweredge 2900.  There are 4 HARD drives in a RAID 5 array, but I don't want to add the new hard drive in the array.  I installed the HDD but impossible to initialize the disc and do it online.  Is there something that needs to be done first?  I do not have the options to reconfigure, only blink and add spare of the OSMA.

  Thank you

  Assuming you have a PERC 5/6, it is important to know that the PERC does NOT support non-RAID.  So, if you want to use a disk like a stand-alone drive, you must first configure it in a RAID array.  The only RAID level that accepts a single drive is RAID 0.  You can do since within the OMSA inside the BONE (storage, PERC, Information/Configuration, create/New in list dropdown controller), or you can do it from the CTRL-R during POST utility (brightness, control F2, Create/New - be sure to check the advanced options and initialize boxes).

  (Reconfigure is the option that you choose to add it to your existing 5 RAID to increase its size.)

• How can I migrate a time machine backup external USB drive to time capsule

  Searched the forums and can't seem to find an answer. With the help of El Capitan 10.11.6. You want to transfer backups Time Machine 4 years on an external USB drive on my new Time Capsule. Any ideas would be MUCH appreciated.

  There is no official method because it has problems.

  There's no official way.

  Here see Q18. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html

  We recommend that people not me there. It has not proven reliable long-term. Start a new backup on the TC and keep the USB stick in the form of archive. After a few months or a year you won't have it.

  You have to understand the Time Machine backup otherwise locally the CF network. It is easy enough to move the backup network local but much harder the other way around.

• Please, I beg you! Boot from a cd drive external usb

  Please tell me how to boot from a cd drive external usb in a toshiba satellite 1405 sd-151

  Hi Luuzz,

  as you probably know for boot from CD push aprox key 'C '. 3-4 seconds after pressing the power button / stop.

  This procedure has been done by the 'U' key to boot from the USB device.

  Maybe it doesn't work because your machine is an American model, then look it up in the BIOS setting if an external to start device is available!

  Please test and provide a response for reporting!
