• Preparation of the hard drive for ESX 3.5 install

  I have downlaoded a trial version of ESX 3.5, burn a cd with the ISO file and tried to install it on my workstation intel.   The installation says that it cannot find a partition.

  I understand that ESX 3.5 runs under Red Hat linux. I need to install Red Hat Linux first? VMWare is recommended? I have fedora 9

  Essentially could someone indicate the steps needed to prepare the hard disk for installation?

  My workstation is configured as follows:

  1.8 G P4 with 1.5 GB Ram and 200 GB IDE hard drive.   I can install it on this system or do I dual CPU, & gt; 2 gig of Ram and a drive hard ide not?

  Can I migrate between ESXi and ESX 3.5 hosts?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The installer ESX install basically 2 things. First, it installs the vmkernel and its Elements, and the second thing it installs is the RHEL3 based on GNU/Linux or the service console management appliance. The considered distinct elements and it will make more sense. ESX is NOT Linux. The kernel running on the hardware is the vmkernel. The vmkernel creates a virtual machine for GNU/Linux management machinery to run during the start-up phase of ESX. The vmkernel is an exclusive hypervisor. Also to be called Linux, the kernel must be blessed by Linus Torvaldis... If you really want the details about how ESX boots please refer to VMware ESX Server in the enterprise structure because it contains this information.

  If you can not start ESX and then very probably not have a RAID/SCSI/SATA/SAS controller supported in use. This controller must be on the HCLs already reported in the previous posts.

  Note that IDE is not supported in some way. Very few SATA controllers are supported. So if your "Workstation" uses the IDE or a RAID/SCSI/SATA/SAS controller not supported then your options for virtualization are limited to the use of VMware Server, WOrkstation or ESX from VMware Workstation.

• A temperature probe is really necessary for the replacement of the hard drive?

  I replaced the hard drive in my late 2009 iMac 21.5 ". In the OWC video, he calls for a probe. My hard drive is not one of the built-in ones. I was wondering if I really need or the computer will work fine without it?

  Well without it your HD fan will be clocked at high speed all the time. The good news is that you can also control the fans/temp via the software. Here is a free software that works very well. http://www.eidac.de/

  Recover the C partition to start the utility of Ghost and having to use the file D partition .gho image

• Satellite Pro P300 - remove the HARD drive to make a backup?

  My P300 went to my local store to repair for a network card problem. I thought it was just a software problem or driver, so I wasn't worried that my machine is still under warranty. After investigation, they stated that they could not resolve the issue, so would be to reformat and reinstall the OS, they thought they should solve the problem.

  To my horror, I found that they had broken the seals of guarantee and open to the top of the machine. They claimed the only way to save the P300 before reformat it, is to remove the HARD drive!
  Is this true?
  (It turns out that a broken chip is to blame, but because they violated the warranty, Toshiba will not touch!)

  Can anyone say about this the removal of HD to support it please?

  Hey,.

  Normally it of not necessary to restore the factory settings with to remove the HARD drive but don t you worry about this. The laptop can still be opened from a service provider authorized without losing the warranty.

  I also put t know why they did, perhaps they have checked the material. It would be possible because they have professional diagnostic tools.

  But interesting to know whether or not your problem is now resolved?

  Someone told me I should reinstall the sata drivers can anyone help me?

  Yes, you need to reinstall the SATA drivers or you will go to BIOS and set the SATA from AHCI mode to compatible.

  But why you don t use the option of searching this forum?
  There are a lot of discussions on this subject and it s not necessary to create 1000 threads on exactly the same topic. ;)

• Satellite P30: How to format the HARD drive and install a new OS?

  I have a satellite P30 laptop with Windows XP. I plug myself a new OS (namely because I can't find my old recovery CD CD and OS) that I want to do a re-shape full of my system. Reason is that my system has been painfully slower and slower over the last year. I even updated my RAM to 512 MB standard supplied with the machine to 2 GB, but it seems to have had little or no effect. So my questions are:-

  1] where can I get my hands on the restore CD that has all the drivers on this subject, and any recovery CD to reformat my HARD drive?
  [2] in the order in which I will make this reformatting?
  How can [3] after having bought an external HARD drive to keep files that I don't want to lose, I transfer those of before my re - format?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated

  Hello

  You received with the laptop Toshiba Recovery CD! Am I wrong?
  So what s the problem?

  Simply insert the CD and try to boot from this CD.
  The restore CD contains all Toshiba drivers, tools and utilities Windows OS + additional software like Win DVD for example.
  The installation will set the laptop to factory settings, but will also format the HARD drive!

  Up to now, we come to the point 3; --> How do I save the data
  If you have purchased a second HDD and connect it to the USB port and transfer all the necessary files on the second HDD
  If you have purchased only the HARD drive, then you will need a USB HDD 2.5 case.

• Equium M70 - what does average rpm in case the HARD drive?

  Hello

  I'm currently looking to buy a hard drive but don't know which means that the number of rounds, IE is it better to have a higher or lower rpm file?

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  RPM refers to the rotation of the head per minute.
  It's the speed of the HARD drive the faster the head rotates faster HARD drive can write and read data from the disk.

  Usually the 7200 RPM is a very good report, so if you are looking for a HARD drive then I recommend you buy the HARD drive supporting this speed but this value is not very important for the performance of the laptop everything is good to have, but not very necessary. You know

• During the stoppage of the partition, partition still on the hard drive Macbook

  Tonight I went to use Bootcamp to get 8.1 Windows on my MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end of 2013), El Capitan 10.11.3 running. I had about 120 GB on my hard drive before you start. My Macbook has made to pay all the time.

  I have my serial number for 8.1 I was going to install 8.1 then update to 10. I had the. ISO on my desk and I've been using a 16 GB flash drive. Everything was going well (it does not seem to take a bit to download the necessary files for the flash player) and when I got to the next step to partition my hard drive I chose 50 GB for Windows. He began partitioning and I had to got for a second and of course when I got home it was on the screen to type my password. I thought for a second, he finished, but then he said that he had to stop unexpectedly.

  I went to open bootcamp and it just took me the steps from beginning. Now my problem is that I have 50 GB of the partition and I don't know how to get it back. I rebooted my Macbook, CMD + R, go to disk utility and ran first aid on the hard drive. He was executed successfully, but my hard drive is still missing as 50 GB. I restarted and went to the utility disk on my office and made the same thing. This time around the first aid took a little longer to work so I thought I had it, but these 50 GB are still missing.

  Anyone know how I can return these 50 GB? I prefer not to format my hard drive and start over. I just want back the 50 GB. Also, if anyone has the answer as to why he closed Middle partition would be great as well so I can make sure I do it correctly this time.

  Thank you.

• Satellite L650-11F: where are the backup information stored on the HARD drive

  Hello.

  My original Toshiba HDD is a failure and I had to replace it with a new one. I haven't had any recovery DVDs until Windows stopped booting and try to avoid buying one.

  I thought that I copy just my recovery Partition and the master boot record on the new HARD drive which worked well. However I find that this hidden restore partition has only 400 MB and so cannot possibly contain all the necessary information to restore the system.

  I have boot from it, but I don't get any options to restore the default settings. It scans only for problems with Windows, runs a few tests on my records and presents me with advanced options that I can't go because I'm not connected.

  I went searching all about and know that ELSEWHERE THE PARTITION RECOVERY that you still need your Windows partition for recovery work.

  It seems just really stupid because most people will try to restore their default values after damage to their windows (deleted files accidentally or whatever).

  What is the point of keeping a partition hidden with just enough to Prime the system, but then require that certain parts of their partition original windows remains intact in order to restore?

  What I'm trying to know is exactelly what part (files) do I need to restore my computer. I tried to copy the Windows partition on the new disk but its too damaged and he'll take it apart if I try to copy some files or to copy directly (using linux dd or ddrescue).

  I am able to copy some of the unique files, so with little chance I might be able to copy everything that I need. I can't copy the part of the Windows folder however.

  So any1 know where the backup information is stored or has other ideas?

  Thank you in advance and please excuse my bad English.

  Hello

  At first, I must say that your biggest mistake was not not to create recovery discs. With these discs you didn t now have a stupid problem.
  Anyway, in my opinion, only option for you is now buy original Toshiba Recovery disk and install Recovery on the new HARD disk image.

  I put t know how to start the discussion with you and try to offer some answers. Is Toshiba doesn t create recovery CD/DVDs more and original recovery image is saved on the HARD drive. At first he was saved on the second partition of HARD drive and visible for laptop owners. Many people have deleted and do some experiments with these files for recovery. Later after the screwing up of most of them wondered why the recovery installation doesn t work anymore and blaming Toshiba for non-working HARD drive recovery facility.

  You need to just check this forum and see how many comments you can find here all this.

  I think that was the reason why Toshiba has decided to save this image on a hidden partition to avoid such things. Please note that this image of hidden recovery is designed for your laptop only and can be used if your laptop has the factory settings. Any type of change may result with missing option to start the installation of HARD drive recovery.

  Problem is that people don't read the operating manuals and don t understand how it works. To avoid any situation where the installation of the HARD disk can't start or failure HARD disk Toshiba strictly recommended recovery DVD creation. I m wondering really you didn't create these disks.

  At this point, I would like to repeat what I think: you will not be able to do anything, except by using the original installation disc of recovery. To be honest, it is cheap and costs 30 euros. Don t waste your time to play, buy, install the OS, and be happy.

  Bye and good luck

• Equium A60-155: remove the HARD drive

  I am interested to remove the hard drive from the laptop so that I can save the data.

  Anyone know where I can get instructions on where it is located?

  I looked at the 'User Guide' section of the Web site, but it does not contain the information.

  At the moment the machine is blue Windows to load testing.

  Hello

  In my opinion, we must open Notepad.
  In this case, it of necessary to carefully remove the covers, the keyboard and the screws that put him at the bottom of the unit.
  Please Note: you will lose the warranty if you open Notepad.
  But if your warranty is still valid, you should ask the ASP for the instruction or detailed information.

  Good bye

• Can I remove photos from photos on the hard drive of my macbook, but keep them in iCloud?

  I just used icloud to "backup" 80 GB of photos that are on the hard drive of my macbook. I'm now able to remove them from my macbook without losing them on iCloud?

  All advice appreciated!

  Welcome to the Apple community.

  With iCloud library enabled, you cannot delete a photo on a device (or iCloud.com) without deleting each device which uses iCloud photo library (iCloud.com). In order to save space on your mobile devices (and indeed your Mac if you want to) turn on the optimization of the pictures on these devices (settings > photos & camera > optimize storage on your mobile device and Photo preferences > optimize storage on your Mac)

  Dynamic optimization, it reduces the resolution of your photos, if necessary, so that you don't notice it occurring initially. However, when necessary, it is very effective, and users have reported libraries being optimized for much less than 10% of their original size in some cases. My own library is about 9% of its original on my phone size.

• Several partitions on the hard drive

  I have a few questions.

  1 could you help me understand the different partitions that are on my hard drive.

  a. healthy 600 MB (recovery Partition)

  b. 300 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)

  c. Acer (C)

  d. 18 GB Healthy (recovery Partition)

  2. If I wanted to maintain the ability to retrieve from the hard drive, which, if not all partitions are needed to stay healthy.

  I like being redundant and I created a flash drive to back up my drivers and applications and also a flash drive to a factory restore.

  Thank you

  Hi whatrymes,

  the entire score is required in the case of a HARD drive failure:

  (a) main Windows recovery partition, those are the same files that you have on the USB boot recovery media where windows fails to boot from the HARD drive

  (b) EFI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFI_System_partition

  (c) your system partition is

  (d) it is necessary to re - install windows to factory default install Acer/windows files

  If you want to be "bullet proof", I suggest:

  (1) check if the BIOS can read and boot from your USB recovery media (sometimes not expensive pen USB cannot be recognized)

  (2) make a system image on an external HARD drive or a big USB pen:
  http://www.TomsHardware.com/news/how-to-make-system-image-backup, 26542.html

  in the worst case of total failure of the HARD drive, you can change your HARD disk, use the support of USB to start recovery and re - install of the system image backup.
