• Dell Precision 690 workstation several hard drives

  I have a Dell Precision 690 and I am trying to connect the hard drives in the right order. The documentation says they must go into the HARD drive marked locations on the motherboard, but they do not work. The only slots that work are the SATA slots. I tested five SATA drives but I can only get three to work on three SATA slots instead of four locations of HARD drive and slot extra SATA as the book said to do.

  I tried which helps the controller under the BIOS: has no significance if it is enabled or disabled. I determined that AHCI is unable to be activated, it must be ATA.

  In the end, I need to have five total drives. Four in the slots in the HARD drive and the other in the SATA slot. (Which will be for operating system 1 SATA and SAS RAID 4). I realize that the HDD_0, 1, 2, 3 locations are to use SAS/SATA but I can't take too much work.

  In addition, I don't ' know if this is important or not, but he has Windows XP Professional x 64. BIOS A05 and I know an update is A08, I did do that yet though.

  Anywhere I can find that material assistance would be much appreciated.

  -E.Avalon (help).

  Yes, there are three ports labeled SATA (0,1,2) and four ports labeled as HARD drive (0,1,2,3). The manual says to connect hard drives in HARD drive ports, then in the SATA ports. The first two SATA ports are for additional optical drives and the last port is used for a fifth hard drive.

  I got in touch with several people in technical assistance from Dell and eventually find the right driver to install.

  Because I don't have the OEM disc that came with the computer, I was doing a new installation of a Windows disc. I needed F6 (third party drivers) to activate the HARD disk ports until the installation has taken place. (And honestly I don't remember what the file was immediately.)

  The AHCI could not be activated because the discs I have are Serial ATA disks and in the BIOS, there is a choice between ATA and AHCI.

  The problem is solved and I feel like I could do a test on this computer and become a technician for her.

• Windows 7 seems to have unexplained memory use high after a scan of viruses of several hard drives.

  My computer:

  • 6 GB of installed memory, normal use is about 1.5 GB
  • 3 hard disks of the computer (OS [Raid 0]. 2 data readers)
  • Windows 7 64 bit

  Problem:

  • After analysis the entire computer, the use of memory up to 3.5 GB of jumps and stay until the computer is restarted.
  • Research in the Task Manager and resource monitor shows the memory used, but running programs don't add to what be close to 3.5 GB
  • I tested it with AVG and Avira antivirus, and it happens with both. Then he would lead me to believe it's a matter of Windows.

  Troubleshooting:

  • Tried it with several antivirus, same problem with ones I've tried.
  • Scanned just the OS partition without significant increase in memory usage.
  • Scanned two data discs. Memory usage has jumped about 1 GB during the analysis of the first hard drive and another 1 GB when on the second disc. Use of memory are remained high, once the completed scan. Subsequent analyses retains high memory usage.

  Question:

  • What is causing this behavior? Indexing, or is it some sort of memory leak?

  The answer can be found here.

• Is it possible to split the Windows 7 on several hard drives?

  Hi all!

  I have a question I asked on for a while and have never found an answer to.

  I use Linux and Windows together and I like the two operating systems, and one thing I LIKE about Linux, it is how it is easy to split on several partitions/hard disks.  If I want to put my/home folder on a different partition of the root folder that is located on a different drive of my Swap and / boot partitions, no problem! In fact, in some ways, it is almost encouraged/forced to make a system like this.

  Now, my question is can I do the same thing during the installation of Windows? (I mean Windows 7, but a response for all versions would be nice, too.) Specifically, can I have my 'Program Files' and the contents of the "Program Files (x 86)" folder exists on another drive and the rest of Windows partitions and have these partitions mounted these subfolders under C:\? The reason why I ask is that I received a Solid State Drive, and I don't want to fill it with all my programs/games that exist in those folders.

  Thanks a lot for the answers you can provide.

  Sincerely,

  Austin

  There are some things you can do with Windows, but not to the same extent as Linux. Read the article below.

• The reorganization of several hard drives in customers?

  Hi again.  I'm under VMware 6.5.1 Windows XP host, Linux comments.

  I have several VMware "virtual hard drives" in my comments.

  There seems to be no UI within VMware to establish the order of in that these disks are visible.  When I create and delete records over time, the order gets randomly mixed around.  This causes problems with the start of Linux.

  I can manually edit the GRUB file and fdisk, but it is a pain,

  as it must be repeated for each guest and wonder if there is a

  best way.

  If the VMware UI to edit the comments configuration had a 'Move up' and 'Move down' button for devices, it would be great!  It would be useful to establish the order of hard drives, and other devices such as Ethernet cards.

  As a feature of the wishlist, it would be nice to have a way to specify where each IDE drive appears to.  Main master primary slave, second master, secondary slave.  Similarly, the SCSI drives should allow me set the device ID.

  Yes, there is a current solution for this limitation, which will allow me to rearrange the order in which records are visible in the comments?

  Thank you!

  Josh

  Two ways to Rome...

  through GUI: select the disc in question in the form "Edit virtual hardware" - click on advanced - the value of the scsi0.0 device node. or else - there is a drop-down list for this operations

  by editing the vmx file: adjust the entries in the vmx manually - file make sure you do not change the device for the boot disk node

• Total GB of VM with several hard drives

  Hi all!

  It is probably an easy one.  How can I get the total amount (GB) of hard drive space to a virtual computer with multiple disks.

  I used the following to get the result.

  $harddisk = get-machine virtual vmname | Get-hard drive

  $harddisk.capacitygb

  If the virtual machine has 3 discs to 100GB each output is:

  100

  100

  100

  How can I add the total of each disk and total output?

  Any help is appreciated!

  Use the Measure-Object cmdlet.

• Status of messy score in several hard drives

  I found something weird looking at the partitions of hard disks in my office...

  Disk 0 is a SSD drive with two partitions:

  -System reserved (g) is 100 MB (active, primary Partition) - unknown content

  -OS (C :) is 112 GB (Boot, page File, Crash Dump, primary Partition) - contains Windows system/applications)

  Disc 1 is a HARD disk drive and has three partitions:

  -Partition 39 MB EOM - unknown content

  -OSBkp (d) is 12 GB (System, active, primary Partition) - content unknown

  -Data (E :) is Go 920 (Primary Partition) - personal content)

  I think that the OSBkp partition (D :) on disc 1 should be on disk 0 and named differently.

  What should I do to get the installation program appropriate disk 0 and get rid of the (d) OSBkp on disk 1?

  I know that my desktop Dell computer originally had only the HARD disk drive and the SSD Traoré was added later with the operating system.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I was able to move everything I hoped - with a little work and some frustrations with the third party partition manager that offers...

  (a) it did not provide more features than Windows without Disk Manager to pay for it.

  (b) it installed in fact two applications and one of them took control on my browser configuration!

  I spent two hours to get rid of that junk :-(

  After removing the two applications, I was able to install all my drives using Windows Disk Manager and end up with the following:

  0 disk (SSD):

  -Reserved system (System, Active, primary Partition)

  -OS (C :)) (startup, crash dump, primary Partition))

  Disc 1 (HHD):

  -Data (e :)) (Page file, primary Partition) - file here instead of on my SSD)

  -Bkp (g) (Primary Partition)

  My problem is then solved - part of you that helped me to understand what went on and by myself using standard Windows disk management application.

  2. is it possible to manage power for readers options individually?

  3 - is the feature of power for hard disk management change between XP, Vista and 7?

  Thank you

  Hi amps2007,

  Windows XP, Vista and 7 do not support this feature.
  You have to look at 3rd party management of electricity in order to have the Player control you're wanting.
  I hope this helps.

• C670-12 x satellite doesn't recognize any HARD drive

  Hi all

  My Satellite phone (C670 12 x) does not recognize the hard drives (the bios boot). I tried with several hard drives. I was wondering if a Bios update would be useful? Y at - it an update of the Bios Flash boot CD?

  I already tried to convert the Bios on a bootable CD driver / image, but that did not work.

  Thanks in advance,

  I put t think that BIOS update will be helpful. Try to set the BIOS to default settings and check again. If the same thing happens again it can be this HARD drive controller is defective.

• his long of high height of 1 sec of the hard drive?

  I would like to ask if anyone else has experienced: the HARD drive makes strange noise, the noise is a random high pitch 1 long beep second, followed by a clicking noise.

  The HARD drive model is: MK1237GSX DL130M

  Department of Apperently Toshiba HARD drive will not be replied to my question, I wrote 2 times now and got the promise that they would get back to me within 24 hours, which they never do!

  My question is simple: does sound HARD drive is defective?

  So let me to know if someone else has experienced.

  By profession, I am a supporter-IT and I heard several HARD drives about to fail, but I have never heard of this kind of her before.

  With greetings

  Hello

  > Apparently Department Toshiba HARD drive won t my question answer, I wrote 2 times now and got the promise that they would get back to me within 24 hours, which they never do!
  They respond to? As much as I know the Toshiba does not directly e-mails. If someone has a hardware problem, then you will need to contact the ASP in your country.
  It is a usual way to account for certain issues or hardware issues with Notepad.
  So I wonder not if you get no answer

  With regard to the spontaneous tone.
  Well, it's really not easy to say what causes this without any detailed mobile controls.
  Second it looks like that it of not easy to reproduce this beep. Thus, the investigation could be more difficult.

  Hi all
  Please can someone tell me what a sheet of aluminum covering the hard drive for laptop for?

  What do you think about this?

  Hello

  I have replaced several hard drives on some laptops but I have never used any further papers of aluminum and I have no problem with the temperature.
  In my opinion, it is not necessary.
  The cooling modules must be able to manage the temperature of the HARD drive.

• HP 6310y can't get the new hard drive to load windows 7

  model 6310y - Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit

  My desktop PC has stopped working.  I took it to the local computer store and they said it was the HD.  I bought the new hard drive and tried to install the retail of Windows 7 home premium 64-bit OS.  I got an error Code 0 x 80070002.

  I called HP support... told me that I needed their brand of recovery disks because the motherboard or BIOS would not allow me to install Windows 7 on new replacement HD disks without having their (HP).  So I ordered their... $17

  I bought another new HD and tried to install Windows 7 OS with HP recovery disks.  This time got the 0xe0ef000e error Code.

  I have to mention every time trying to install OS on new replacement HD... He got about 8 to 12 minute installation before receiving error messages.

  I called HP support... this time said that the retail version of Windows 7 OS must have worked and that I didn't need the HP recovery discs brand new replacement HD installation.   They offered me to pay $199 and send my office to fix inclusive it... all.

  Very confused.  I never had something like this before... I had several hard drives die over the years and have replaced the myself and installed all of the software including myself OS without any problem like this.

  Memory retrieves okay when using the diagnostic f9 key... She showed problems with HD during one of my many attempts of diagnostics

  Not sure if it's a bad mother or the video card integrated... do not know how to find either... since I can not the PC market

  It will start at Blue HP screen & most of the time allow me to enter in the screens f9, f10 or ESC.

  Don't know if its worth paying $200 to fix this or go and buy a new one for about the same price.

  any suggestion or help is appreciated

  Thank you

  I had to send it back to HP.  It is a bad motherboard.  They dropped the price a bit to replace the motherboard.  I don't remember how much they charged me.   I'm guessing around $200 - $300

• Aspire ZC - 606 how can I replace the hard drive

  Aspire ZC - 606, that will not start. It emits a sound once and asking you "Reboot and select proper boot device" or insert the bootable media...

  I can start the installation and the drive is missing, only the CD/DVD is here.

  I need to pull the HDD and backup all the data on it and replace it.

  I can't find anywhere that shows me the removal process.

  I replaced several HARD drives in all-in-one but have always found some instructions.

  Someone help?

  Pete

  before changing the HARD drive, I would try another SATA cable, is the part number: 50.U86D5.002

  to open the back of your ZC, you must open the 2 feet at the bottom of the back cover and unscrew the 2 screws; with a PIN that you had to push into the small hole in the DVD player until he slip; Then, you can lift the back cover.
