RDM pyhsical passthrough problem hard drive with partition type 0xfd (raid autodetect matrices)

I tried to passthrough my records of nas synology with 0xfd partition type.

vmkfstools - z vmfs, devices, disks, t10. ATA___ST2000DL0032D9VT166___XXXXXXXX /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/RDM/NAS2TB_1_XXXXXXXX.vmdk - a free

results in: unable to create the virtual disk: the specified device is not a valid physical disk (20) device.

The reason seems to be the type of partition 0xfd (raid autodetect matrices). This problem is presented with the disk itself.

No idea how to fix?

P.S.:

I tried also to my sata on board my Point of Lynx DH87RL passthrough intel AHCI, but it failed when the connection to the virtual machine:

Re: DirectPath I/O for Haswell Lynx Point SATA AHCI controller

I found the failure. It's a little embarrassing.

It was just the missing ' / ' in front of vmfs.

Now, my drives are running in physical RDM mode.

P.S.: Just pull-out taking the SATA controller does not work. See the link to the last thread.

  • Installed new HARD drive with the new installation of XP, old HDD ShowAs saw as the active partition, how to change this?

    I installed a new HARD drive with a new installation of Windows XP Edition family. I want to keep the old HDD and reformat the drive, but I can't because the second HDD is listed as active in the management of the computer. Why? It's not the drive that contains the operating system (Windows XP) that is initialized from.  I put the BIOS such that the new HARD drive is the boot drive. The old HDD has Windows XP on it, but isn't the startup disk. I just don't understand.
    If only the new HARD drive is installed, the computer management doesn't show that it or any other of its partitions are the active partition (C drive is listed as the system partition, of course).

    How can I get an active partition and no active partition when the new HARD drive is installed on a HARD drive that is not the boot drive, when I have two hard drives installed?

    In case it is necessary, the new HARD drive is a SATA and the old HARD drive is IDE with the cavaliers as a slave.

    The system partition is the Active partition. The system volume contains the system files needed to start Windows, Windows XP, these system files are:

    NTLDR
    Boot.ini
    NTDETECT.COM
    Ntbootdd.sys (present/used only with older SCSI controllers)

    Windows files are not necessarily on the system volume, they can reside on another volume, when on a different volume this volume holding Windows files is called the boot volume.

    When you install Windows on a computer, playing a mixture of IDE and SATA setup discs tends to favor with IDE drives on SATA drives and tends to use the IDE drive to house the system partition, (even if Windows is installed on a different drive).

    Running the command SYSTEM SET at a command prompt may shed some light on the problem...

  • How to FORMAT my hard drive with a RECOVERY PARTITION and my system restore from. BKF files

    History made as short as possible.

    I inherited a gateway with XP Media Center 2004. I transferred all my old files to the new computer, and it worked fine. I did a full backup of the system (.) BKF). Later, I installed a disc for my Vivitar camera I used before with my old system and my computer crashed.

    I tried everything I know to do a restore. F8, F10 and F11 during start-up and the best I could come up with was the safe MODE, but it would fail to any ENTRY.

    I really feel like the hard disk must be formatted and start over. I can not access the recovery partition and no XP CD was provided.

    My question is: How can I reformat the hard drive with a petition of recovery and reinstall my operating system of BKF files?

    If you have a recovery partition, I suggest you post in the forums of the bridge
    assistance.

  • Cloning hard drive with Clonezilla failed, gave a bad sector error message and now the original hard drive will not boot

    Original title: startup problem

    I tried cloning from my hard drive with Clonezilla, and he gave me a bad sector error.  I have since run the hard drive test in bios and it passed.  Anyway, clone has failed, and now the original hard drive will not boot.  My dvd player won't turn when I try to load the Vista repair CD (Vista Home Premium 32 bit).  Clonezilla removes the start settings for the original disc?  And if so, how can I restore it?  The computer starts just a black screen with a cursor at the top left.  When I install the hard drive in a box and connect it to another computer, it shows the partitions and files all seem to be there.

    Hi DougEisenmann,

    Clonezilla is not supported by Microsoft.

    If you are unable to boot from the Vista repair disk then you will need to go into the system BIOS and make sure that it is configured to boot from the DVD drive.

  • How can I migrate my Mozilla folder on a hard drive with it works?

    Hi, I used to love Mozilla Firefox but I stopped using it for a year, it is incredibly slow, you can't do anything! I don't know what to do. My hard drive has plenty of space, but I can not understand how to put my Mozilla folder in my hard drive with it noticing, help? I really can't manage google chrome more.

    It is possible that your security (firewall, antivirus) software blocks or limit Firefox or the process of plugin-container without you inform, possibly after the detection of changes (update) for the Firefox program.

    Delete all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container in the permissions list in the firewall and leave your firewall again ask permission to get full unlimited access to the internet for Firefox and the plugin-container and the update process.

    See:

    You can also try a clean reinstall and remove the Firefox program folder.

    Create a new profile as a test to see if your profile is the source of the problems.

    See "create a profile":

    If the new profile works then you can transfer files from a profile in the new profile, but be careful not to copy files corrupted to avoid transporting on the problem.

  • Re: Tecra A9 - 11M - replace the HARD drive with a larger

    I have a Tecra A9 - 11 M with Windows XP Professional installed. I would like to replace the hard drive with a larger drive and install Windows 7 Professional.

    Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?

    Difficulties to install Windows 7 on this model?

    Hey,.

    > Any suggestions on recommended records say 500 MB?
    I assume you mean 500 GB and not 500MB, right? ;)

    Well, the Tecra A9 already supports SATA interface and there is no limit of capacity on SATA interface, so you can install a 500 GB HARD drive or more (750 GB, etc.). Just make sure that it s 2.5 SATA HDD.

    You can choose each brand of HARD drive because each model will not work. You can buy a Toshiba HDD, Western Digital HARD drive or another. No problem ;)

  • Qosmio X 500 - 10W - can I replace the HARD drive with another?

    Hello

    I have a Qosmio X 500 - 10W with two drive HARD Toshiba MK5055GSX 500 GB 5400 RPM 8 MB? SATA II but is one of the hs so I'm wondering if I can be replaced by a more powerful style, drive HARD 750 GB 7200 RPM / min 16 MB Toshiba courses?

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Your question is a bit hard to understand, but I think you want to replace the HARD drive with another (faster) model, right?

    Well, that s no problem. 7200 RPM hard drives works, they are a little stronger, but they're faster so if you need more performance without problem.
    750 GB or more are also no problem because the SATA interface is not the limited capacity. Theoretically 1 TB or more should also work.

    Anyway, you can buy the 750Go you mentioned that it will work. :)

  • HP mini 210-1032cl. I have a new hard drive with nothing on it. I don't know what to do.

    Someone sold me a mini 210-1032cl without hard drive.  I bought a hard drive on ebay.  Where should I go from here.  I can't access anything on my hard drive with disk management.  I did some research and saw the formatting and partitioning of hard drive using disk management.  But how to do this with nothing on the disk?  Which is the best operating system I can buy which also has an Office suite (if there is such a thing)?  I'm trying to restore the mini without breaking the Bank.  I will soon go to College and I need to get my mini operational as soon as possible.  Apparently, this mini was Windows 7 Starter.  I tried the HP Support, but it is so confusing to me.  I don't know what I'm doing.  Thanks in advance for your help and your insight. Forgive my ignorance.

    Hello:

    My recommendation is to click on the link below, and then click to expand the line of order recovery media, then click on the blue button more details and order the recovery disks that are going to install the operating system, software and drivers originally came with the laptop.

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4062&LC=en&cc=us&DLC=en&sw_lang=&product=4125470

    BEFORE YOU ORDER DISKS... Two important points to note...

    1. you will need a USB DVD drive to use with the recovery discs.

    2. the hard disk that you purchased should be the same storage capacity or larger than the original drive came with the laptop.

    The original specifications drive was 160 GB.

  • Pavilion dv7-4000 1 replacement of hard drives with more

    I have a dv7-4000 series double portable hard drive running windows 7 64 bit. One of the drives died and I am looking to buy a replacement and want to upgrade, but I'm not sure if I have 2 hard disks of different sizes.

    (1) can I replace factory bad HARD drive with a larger 320? (I'd then 1 factory 320 GB drive and 1 car again, more)

    (2) is the brand of the material of hard drive (Toshiba courses)?

    (3) are there any specific specs I should look for or avoid (ie. rpm, Gbps, etc.)?

    Hi wweksjk! : Yes, you can have 2 HD with different capacities for example on my PC of Xion MSI, which was built in 2006, I had 2 HD Western Digital, respectively 160 GB & 250 GB divided into 3 partitions

    the brand name is not as important as the number of turns faster the car turns your computer will be faster

    also look at the size of the buffer on the disk as well because the more it will speed up the boot time as well

    However install a new drive as boot drive will be complex, but if you follow the instructions that come with the HD installer it is possible

    for example, a 7200 RPM drive is faster than a 5400 RPM, but not as fast as a model k 10 or 15 k

    Good luck

    hope this helps to & help

  • NMH300 and hard drives with 4 KB sectors size

    Hello

    Does anyone know if the NMH300 supports hard drives with 4 KB sectors or only 512 b size?
    If Yes, how HDs with 4 k sectors perform?

    I know: XP do not really like the HDs with sector size 4 k. W7 has no problem.

    Thank you for your comments.

    No, it won't work because new hard with 4 k sector disks require new chips of controller hard drive to be recognized. To be sure check just the NMH series hardware tested list .

  • have 2 hard drives with different operating systems on them

    I'm upgrading. I took a hard drive from another pc. It has windows vista on it. Am using another hard drive with XP on it as a slave. But it does not recognize 2nd hard drive other than a shortcut that my friend created. I think it has to do with group policies in Vista? Or the 2 operating systems will not play nice with them? I can't reformat the drive until I get back to the top on them.

    Finally, I plan to each drive to reformat, but want to back up each drive, so I can't reformat now

    Do you not normally take a hard drive with an installed operating system, on a single computer and put it in another for a start of it.

    You can ask yourself all sorts of problems.

    Motherboard drivers are involved for each computer, they are installed.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    And there are rules of licensing:

    If your computer is pre-installed with Vista or if it was an OEM drive, that you bought, it is classified as an OEM license and is not transferable.

    The license of Vista OEM is related to the original computer it is installed on and dies with the computer.
    You cannot transfer it to another computer/laptop

    If a license of Vista at retail, you can transfer it to another computer/laptop.
    But it can only be installed on one computer at a time.

    .

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    There are a set of processes for dual-boot Vista and XP, if that's what you try to do.

    You will need to follow the link below:

    http://www.syschat.com/dual-boot-Vista-XP-Vista-already-1946.html

    If you mean something different from your message, try the Forum relating to data recovery Vista repair:
