problem with disk hard disk parameters
When I installed vista in VMWare I gave her 20 GB SCSI hard drive. I changed it later to 25 GB, and I see in the settings panel that the change was made (it says 25 GB) but when I opened Vista I only 20 GB, the size of the moose.
What has gone wrong?

Problem with new HARD drive and Qosmio Player installation
Hi all
I hope someone can help, I had my Qosmio for 2 1/2 years now and recently had a problem with the hard drive. I decided to replace the hard drive, because it was the fastest solution. The problem I have now is that I can't receive TV on media center. I tried to install qosmio player at the disk to see if it made any difference, but when I run the provided recovery disc software tells me that there is not enough disk space! The laptop came with a 60G hard drive and the new HARD drive manufactured by the same manufacturer is a 150 GB, can someone help me out with this would be appreciated.Thank you
ED.Have you tried to install Qosmioplayer initially, then on operating system? If I remember well, on this first portable Qosmio, it was very important to install Qosmioplayer initially.

Problem with drive HARD and Vista install
Hi all
A few weeks ago, my Dell Inspiron laptop computer started to freeze. I could boot ok and my desktop wallpaper and icons were all there, but I couldn't run or open anything. I did the Bios tests and my Vista installation disc and told me there was a problem with my hard drive. I wiped it and tried to reinstall vista and that I could see it wasn't working because it took hours and then seems to have stopped again during installation. So I bought a new one and tried to install Vista. everything was going well until it is restarts a second time and I got a black screen with a mouse pointer icon. I had to reinstall it running for about 4 hours, at least an hour of that time which was all that was going on and the hard disk wasn't spinning.
How long on avg would take to install Vista, if it is running normally?
is there anything else that might be a problem that would not appear in the repair of Vista or Bios diagnostics?
Any advice would help a lot.
If the new hard drive does not work, then the problem is on the motherboard. Your description of symptoms indicates a power supply or motherboard failure. Contact Dell technical support for repair or replacement. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

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.

Problem with a hard disk on the Satellite 1800 750
Hi all!
I have problems with my Satellite 1800 750 therefore than the hard drive not to be recognized. Means I can start from floppy disk or CD-ROM, but not hard drive. I create in the hard drive to another laptop and it works well. In the BIOS, I see two (HD and CDROM) IDE devices. From pure DOS diskette and try running fdisk also does not show me the HD.
What can be? It is a total mistake on card mother IDE #1 have a defect or is it a BIOS problem? Or something else?Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Kind regards
WernerHi Werner,.
He cannn be your IDE controller has a loose contact.
But in a first time, you must set the BIOS to the factory settings. Press ESC key after power! Then you have a short list of commands at the bottom of the screen!
If this does not solve the problem you correctly a hardware fault. This should be checked by a Toshiba Service partner. Go to https://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com - support & downloads - find an authorized Service partner

Problems with disk Satellite pro 4200 hard assembly
I have problems with a Satellite pro 4200.
The Notbook reads no more disks. Undercarriage I traded the loan, but did not work. Undercarriage is addressed, but it is read the discs is not possible or formatted. Also, an update of the Bios is not possible, as undercarriage reads no more disks.CU
EltgenHi Eltgen
Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what the problem is on that path. If I understand you well you have built in a new floppy drive, because the old one was faulty. Am I wrong?
It will be interesting to know is the new part already used. Perhaps is the new one also defective. I hope that a little light is on if you put the disc inside.

Problem with disk management.
To increase the size of drive, I installed win 7 64 bit from a cloned on a WD Green 3 TB hard drive backup. When I go to disk management I have the following: Disk 0: base / system reserve 1.87 GB NTFS healthy, "C:" 2046,13 GB NTFS healthy, no Boot affected 746,52 GB.
I could not wish 'C' in the unallocated space. Is this possible and if so, what is the procedure?
Thanks for the help
There is a specific problem with windows that imposes a limit of 2 GB on hard drives. This can be overcome by using a GPT partition table, but then needs a UEFI BIOS in order to boot from it.

Zoo Tycoon 2 ultimate collection-problems with disk 2.
Hey my laptop is Asus brand and I have windows 8. I have zoo tycoon-ultimate collection, and it worked fine on my last laptop. Disc two usually run on my computer and it comes up with error 1305 error reading the file. I looked in other forums to help, but none of them seems to fix the problem I have. Can someone help me please?
Hello
Welcome to the Microsoft community. I appreciate your efforts toward resolving the issue. I would like to ask you some questions for a better understanding of the issue.
Are able to install the game on another computer using the same disk?
Try and copy the contents of the disc in your computer and then try to install it. If you are not able to copy the file, it could be a problem with the drive itself.
Alternatively, you can try to install compatibility mode. After you copy the configuration from the disk file, try the following steps.
a. right click on the driver file and select Properties
b. Select the Compatibility tab
c. place a check next to run this program in compatibility mode and select the operating system in the drop-down list.
d. let the driver to install, and then check the functionality.
If you need additional help, let us know and we would be happy to help you.

Problem with external hard drive (an unexpected error - 50)
I've had this problem for a few months now. Sometimes, I can't delete a file from my external hard drive, or export a file to it. The process is impossible, and I get a message "Cannot perform the action due to an unexpected error - 50". Ejecting the disc gives the message "eject impossible because another program can use it." Ejection force becomes the only option. After re-login, the problem goes away, like nothing ever happened.
The question is not constant, but quite common to become a nuisance, the one I want stopped.
That's what I think it is (a bad connection with the cable, defective contact), or is this a virus? I need to know.
The hard drive is 1 TB Toshiba Canvio Basics and is formatted as Mac OS extended (Journalized).
not a virus, and not only because there is no virus mac at this time.
negative errors on the discs can be a signal indicating that the file is corrupted or worse still, the drive is failing. While it can also be a problem with the cable or the connector that it commonly goes back on the disc itself.
Currently, it is recommended that you backup your data if a backup fails, you may need to save what you can manually and sometimes that means go to this folder by folder or file by file
Use Time Machine to back up or restore your Mac - Apple Support
All HARD drives (and SSD') eventually fail and while this isn't a your statement you should check the drive with disk utility (Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility) after you got what you possibly can off and consider replacing the disk with a new one.

Problems with drive HARD Toshiba MK1234GSX
Hello
I have an Acer with a secondary HD TOSHIBA MK1234GSX 9920.
Since I installed Windows 7, I have problems with the HD.
Upon restart, the HD is considered as having problems with windows: when I look in device management, I have this message "Windows has stopped this device cause it has problems. (Code 43) »
I did a full scan (chkdsk), but no not found errors.
If I turn off the HD, reactivate and restart, sometimes I can access the HD which works perfectly.
Does anyone have an idea on this?
Thank you.PS: Sorry for my English :)
CHKDSK is not good to test a HARD drive for bad sectors, its only good when looking for errors of the filesystem (FAT32 or NTFS).
Test the hard drive to find errors using DFT.
DFT download: http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFTDownload the ISO file and burn it to a CD - R disc (there is also a version on disk if it's easier).
If you don't know how to burn an ISO file, read this guide: http://www.petri.co.il/how_to_write_iso_files_to_cd.htm
Restart your laptop and boot from the disc of DFT.
Choose the 'Advanced' test and let it run (it may take an hour or two).
If you see a message in red box, the HARD drive is faulty.
An error code 0 x 70 means there are bad sectors and the HARD drive needs to be replaced. -
I have problem with my hard drive on my alienware laptop mx14 r2
I have a problem with my alienware mx14 r2...
with the error... on the hard drive... which I can't get into windows 8.1...
I did a restore on it n lost all my files include restoration to factory setting...
now... my hard drive looks like can fail at any time...
I'm looking to change my hard drive... but do I need to take note of? I mean the size of the thickness of the disc or your hard drive model... as I see it a lot after State of a 7mm disc...
and for costs, install windows 8... I don't have the Disc... because it comes with the version of preinstallation. I don't have the product key... I buy a new one from the windows key...
hope someone can guide me to Thursday. Thank you very much
Windows 8 and above have info on the motherboard which will see you put Windows 8 x hard disk and if same sys op you precrash, it will authenticate it and you'll be fine. You should never buy sys op on windows 8 and especially if you put same op sys on new hard drive.
