• How to "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected startup disk... "on a netbook without a CD/disk drive?

  I did a lot of research and unfortunately havnt found a road toward the front of the detroit to a fix. Long story short... I installed Jolicloud as a dual boot with windows xp on netbook gateway of my wife. This netbook has no cd/dvd drive. Jolicloud wanted to screw up the startup option to not allow me to boot into windows, going Strait to jolicloud without option of windows. I tried to change it via the "menu.lst" and Grub.cfg file (I think) the only value I changed was I think 'boot... ". ' value between 1 and 2. When I restarted, then finally got a startup list (although I don't think that my modification of the value gave me the list, I had already installed manually "Grub" via the cmd prompt. I should have just restarted from there without changing anything else... because when I chose 'windows xp' in the start menu... He gave me a black screen and kept going back to the start menu. Then, I tried the "Vista loader" option... hoping that it would some how solve my problem... He asked me if I wanted to run a repair any. I agree with him and when he finished he told me that there is no enough space on the hard disk to copy the files (or something like that) then it froze kind of there. I had to do a hard reboot after that that it froze, then I got the code "Windows did not start because of a computer disk configuration problem. Could not read from the selected boot disk.  check the hardware path and startup disk, please check the windows documentation about hardware disk configuration and your hardware for more information reference manuals.

  Again, I have no drive cd/dvd on a netbook... IM assuming that im going to have to return a key USB with windows boot info to load the Manu F2 at startup... But I do not know... Help, please. Thank you

• Dual Boot with windows XP Pro with 2 HARD drive, error on secondary windows install: "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check boot path and disk hardware... »

  Hi, I recently bought a new Hitachi 1 TB internal hard drive. I wanted to do a clean install on the new drive (d), be able to dual boot my computer and leave my old 300 GB disk (C :) as the primary windows installation. After physically installing the new HARD drive, I noticed that "new hardware found" and the the brand name flashed in the bottom right corner. I thought I'd see the new hard drive in my computer, but I did not. I initialized the new HARD drive with the computer management window (right click on my computer - manage) and I also formatted in NTFS (I had to change my printer hard drive letter to assign the new HARD drive with the letter D, but I've made other changes after this step). Now, I could see and use in my main windows on the C: installation. I then installed a windows new copy XP pro with the installation CD I got for my C: but on the D: (Note: I have a Dell computer (and the Dell reinstallation CD) and my current version of windows has SP3 while the installation CD is only SP2) (I also reformatted my HARD drive during the installation of windows to NTFS)

  Now when I try to start on installing the new on my D: I get "Windows did not start because of a configuration of the disk of the computer problem. Could not read the selected boot disk. Check startup disk and hardware access path. "and another line saying to refer to manuals HARD drive and windows.

  My Boot.ini file at this time was:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I looked towards the top of this help page, but for now I'm unlucky:

  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314477

  (The next steps I took by throwing from the Windows CD and go into the repair console)

  I tried to use the bootcfg /rebuild but the line to boot.ini for my secondary HARD drive still does not work.

  He gave me something like:

  [boot loader]
  Timeout = 5
  default = multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS
  [operating systems]
  "multi (0) disk (0) rdisk (0) partition (2) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect
  "signature (ac516a5c) disk (0) rdisk (1) partition (1) \WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional own "/ noexecute = optin/fastdetect

  I also tried to change the signature() to multi (0), but it did not work. (or try almost all possible permutations of disk() and rdisk() partition() 0 to 2).

  I also tried to use expand F(dvd-drive):\i386\ntkrnlmp(I_have_a_duo-core).ex_ D:\windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe and a few other combinations, but I when I login as D:\windows simply, it fails to extend with a message like "could not develop" or C:\windows I get "restricted access".

  I have not yet tried CHKDSK/r, but since I did a clean install on a newly formatted drive... I don't think it would work.

  I've also marked the partition on the D: as active (in computer management), but it did not help me.

  I've done a first installation of windows repair, strangely, I couldn't fix this one... Still does not work...

  My default windows installation yet works very well & I see that windows has been installed on the D: but I'm ideas from how to operate the dual-boot, can someone throw me a BONE on what to do?

  Maybe try to do something with the Boot Manager (whatever it is?) Create a new partition and use it as a boot manager? I don't really want to do this, because if I made a mistake I will be unable to use my computer and dual boot should work without going through all this trouble... But I found this page: http://technet.microsoft.com/fr-fr/library/ee829686%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Could a clean install two HDD help? I hope I won't have to do...

  Someone has an idea?

  PS: I'm not such an advanced user so I need a solution step by step, thanks!

  Edit: I also noted that I can't see my new HARD drive in my BIOS... weird... SATA-0 is my old drive HARD 1 and 2 are my dvd 3-5 readers are 'off' and it doesn't seem to be anything that it is plugged in. I also have 4 bays for internal HARD disks. Now, 2 are busy.

  Edit2: I looked inside my case and enabled the good Sata in the Bios after a reboot it detected the drive correctly. Dual boot doesn't always work well... The fact that it was disable in the BIOS while I was installing the new HARD drive could change anything? Hmm...

  In case I wasn't clear enough: I had a windows XP Pro installed on my C:, bought a new hard drive and installed the same copy of windows on it (d). I think that should allow me to double boot between the two installs different. Even if for some reason I can't boot from one on my D:. Andrew, I do not understand why you so far physically disconnect the other drive, the point of the whole operation is to build a boot.ini file so that the BIOS knows that it y facilities 2 windows and you allow to choose (and not have conflicting problems between the 2 systems), someone correct me if I'm wrong? "Expand" the part of my first post made reference to one of the solutions provided by Microsoft in the first link that I have included in my previous post (but I can't seem to work).

  In addition, it is the procedure that I followed: http://www.ehow.com/how_5950826_boot-two-different-hard-drives.html

  (except I've had the first installation already done).

  Andrew "also, once a new hd is plugged on the pc & running, most of the BIOS will place (them) as 1st priority hd, set the BIOS to do this", you mean that by installing separately from windows on each unit when the other is not plugged in, I could choose what disk to start from defining their priority in the BIOS once they are all plugged back? It's too tedious (as I intend to move frequently between the 2 installs) and requires a computer to other users of the lack of computer knowledge. Unfortunately, it is not a viable option.

  EDIT: I DID IT! Hmmm... Well, I double checked in the recovery console, the path of the new HARD drive with the arc command Scan. Tried to start again with the MULTI (0) in my boot.ini and it worked... I also had my windows install CD in. Maybe that is why I could not start, windows needs the CD to complete the installation? Weird, I don't know what I did to the difficulty it... but hey, it works! Thanks for your ideas guys!

• Recommendation for the configuration of the disk

  Recommendation for the configuration of the disk:

  A wide range of RAID 5 consisting of 8 x 146 GB drives?

  Two arrayys of RAID 5 with 4 x 146 GB drives in each table one would be used for the data store, and the other would be usd to images of backup to it.  The idea here is that when we do backup via the script GhettoVCB/o would be mainly on the secondary RADIUS and not the main data store.   In my opinion?  I think I have the only RAID 5 Bay with all the readers of 8 x 146 GB for a data store single should surffice.   I don't think the performance problems will be that detrimental.

  Do not hesitate to offer advice on scenarios, thank you

  Engineer accommodation

  ModusLink Open Channel Solutions, Inc.

  As written before, depends on the type of e/s.

  With more than R and W low, RAID5 (on multiple disks) could be very good.

  But don't forget to also use a global hot spare, degraded performance a RAID5 mode could be dramatic.

  And don't forget that your controller has a battery backup.

• Several tenants on the configuration of the disks Exadata

  Hello

  Exadata pre-built 2 bow TIE, ASM 3 configured disk group.

  Please may I know what is the configuration of Group of disc for the consolidation of Multi tenant on exadata.

  Thank you

  Since the DSO balances actually all batteries on all counts on all the disks on all storage servers, it is actually irrelevant whether you have one or several starts as long as your start is spread across all disks. This is one reason why having less starts can be beneficial, because they are guaranteed to be spread across all disks in the exadata rack. If people try to change the standard configuration after installation there are chances of them being wrong, dropping disks off starts and slice not uniformly leading to loss of performance, availability and recovereability.

• Configuration of the network adapters physical vSwitches

  Hello! I am currently in operation 1 Server ESXi 4.1, a switch Dell PowerConnect 2708 (8 ports) and 2 vSwitches.

  My question is this:

  Why don't my ESXi / vCenter server detects the physical or the various Dell switch ports? I can only see 1 physical adapter that is my card physical BroadCom that is installed on the physical server ESXi. From what I've studied, I've seen users ESXi / vCenter Server able to detect at least 1 or 2 cards physical on their Cisco switches.

  Is the problem the manufacturer? Dell or Cisco? I can only now see 2 physical network adapters on my server vCenter Server "vmnic0" which is upward and enforcement connected to my main switch which has to internet access. And "vmnic32" under "Gigabit Ethernet PCIe" which is down and waiting, which I'm unable to set up at all.

  I just need 1 physical adapter to connect to my newly created another vSwitch. Please give helpful suggestions! Thank you!!!

  The Dell switch must support CDP, if it is not, you will not see any information on the Dell switch - two NETWORK ports are pligged of network cables?

• Snort - configuration of the switch - sniffing physical and virtual

  Hello

  There was a bit of discussion on this topic already and I read all those, but I'm still lost as to whether I want to do is possible and how.   I need to have capability of IDS in my vmware environment and physical environment switching.

  1. that being said, I don't know where to put snort.

  2. I know that I can paste snort on a virtual machine and give it an interface to each vswitch that promiscuity has been traffic on these vswitches, but which is the best way to do it?

  3. how to get traffic physics switching down to a virtual machine?  Is it still possible?

  I'm on 3.5 and using Foundry switches if it matters.

  The other idea I have is to not worry about this and paste my ID in the physical environment, since all traffic inter - VLAN should through the firewall anyway that is on the physical environment of switching.  This protect me from knowing of vm - & gt; VM attacks however.

  What is everyone think about this?

  Hello

  It's the kind where I was at.  The other problem I have is that I need to activate on the whole portgroup or vswitch promiscous.

  Only on the portgroup never the vSwitch.

  This means that any host in this portgroup can promiscoulsy listen on a map network within this portgroup, right?

  That's right, but now you must periodically check the portgroup to ensure that none of the United Nations that allowed VM is on the portgroup.

  > As a dashboard that is able to read in several analyzers to snort all the recommendations?

  There are a few web based ones. I would check snort.org... I used 'base', but is no longer directly use SNORT. It is integrated into my FWs now.

• Satellite Pro C660 - 21 d - how to change the shared memory graphic value?

  My dxdiag screen says I have almost 1700 MB of video memory, but when I try to use this memory on games these games can use 256 MB...

  I tried to change settings in the BIOS, but it does not have this setting, do not know what else could cause this problem?

  Hello

  This could be confusing, but this isn't a problem.
  Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and the driver affects the part of the main memory to the memory of the graphics card ONLY if its required by a running application.

  The Dxdiag shows you how much RAM could be shared and value of memory in the quizzes you shared memory which is used and who is in the game right now.

• Z800 - Incorrect used the disk in the drive of Windows 7 boot

  Hello

  I have a very strange situation with my two Z800. I bought used them "out of contract".

  Among the motherboards was defective (one of the memory locations that it would generate an error

  probably a cpu twisted PIN?) and the other had this error I describe below. So I decided to

  two new motherboards think that two of them had problems buying... However, I am still

  the error that I describe below.

  Any help would be LARGELY APPRECIATED!

  Now, I'm only using two new motherboards.
  Z800 #1 config: two L5639, 96 GB of RAM (6 x 16 GB) BIOS v3.57 (I upgraded from 1.18)
  Z800 #1 config: 5520 x, 24 GB of RAM (3 x 8 GB) BIOS V1.18 (it came with the jury)

  When I install Windows 7 64 bit ultimate (two different MSDN Downloads) on hard _any_

  by car (I have tried many, partial list is below) connected to the SATA _any_ port (LSI or)

  Intel) (I tried all the different combinations of disks) on one of the

  systems, I get the same error. After the installation is complete and I check the disc

  disk space is _always_ fallacious.

  For example:

  Hitachi 700 GB HDD SATA2.  No other software other than Win7 install (about 11 GB

  files). When Windows starts the installation he sees a 698 GB drive, which is fine.

  Once installation is complete if I look at the drive C: he said 607 GB is available, up to 13%

  is used or about 90 GB... I right click all files on the C: drive however but

  they represent only 11 GB. What happened to the 78 GB of missing space?

  Similar, but more bad results with a processor Intel 320 160 GB SSD. Same scenario. However this time

  Windows believes that the player has 149 GB of free space (which is fine) but after the

  Install reports only 1.4 GB is available after the installation of windows. With only 11 GB of

  files in fact too much space. What happened to 138GB missing?

  What is really strange, it's that if I started 700 GB Hitachi drive and I have the Intel format

  the 320 series 160GB as a secondary Windows data drive, all space is

  available. I can copy files and the space used is correct... The same exact when results

  Am I on the Intel than BONE and Hitachi drive as data drive. The reader of the BONE

  bad shows used space and Hitachi is fine.

  The exact same results occur on the #1 and #2 of Z800 Z800.

  I tried the following SSDS: two 320series Intel 160 GB, 240 GB ADATA, Intel

  840 series 250GB, Kingston 300 160 GB and several older Rotary readers of

  Hitachi, WD and others with all kinds of different abilities and most of the spinning

  SATA2 and SATA3 a discs. the results are always the same. The Win7

  installation led still misreports the space used, but the data disk (any who

  reader that I use) always correctly reports the space used.

  I'm sure that I tried to use all of the ports on the controller Intel and LSI

  controller and I still get the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in

  IDE mode with the same results. I've set up the SATA controller in RAID mode with the same

  results.

  I flashed the drive Intel 320 with SSD utility HP, same results.

  I tried to load the drivers Intel and LSI as part of installing Windows

  procedure, but the Dungeon to get the same results.

  I tried sitting on a Chair and standing on one leg, but the results are always the

  even. I tried during the day and in the evening and even late at night, even

  results...

  I went to it last month. I contacted HP support, but they claim it hurts

  motherboards. I understand the issue with the twisted up like a bad mother but 3 pin

  all other similar problems?

  I configure something in the BIOS? or y at - it a setting that I'm not aware?

  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you!

  I finally solved the problem.

  The problem, it turns out, was related to the configuration of large capacity (GB 48 and 96 GB) memory. While I built servers with this amount of memory, and even more, I never built like that, desktop computers. Turn, the impact of this on the Windows desktop operating system memory size is dramatic at this scale. Server OSs are different and so the impact is not the same.

  Combine hard drives relatively 'small' (160 GB, 200 GB) in proportion to the size of the memory and this is where the problems occur. In a more typical 4 GB or 8 GB or RAM Office combined with a 1 TB drive, you won't even notice the effect.

  Question #1: The Windows 7 pagefile (pagefile.sys) aka virtual memory. It turns out that, by default, Windows creates a page file that is equal to the amount of physical RAM + 300 MB if 1 GB or more of RAM is installed:

  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx

  So now the largest system (96GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB has been used by Pagefile.sys leaving 42 GB of available disk space.

  Question #2: Windows 7 hibernation file. By default, Windows creates a hibernation file which is 75% of the size of the memory. Why not 100%? because it compresses data before shutting down:

  http://download.Microsoft.com/downlo...footprint.docx

  So now the largest system (96 GB RAM) with the 160 GB drive (which Windows was seen as 149GB), 11 GB has been used in the Windows OS itself, then 96GB used hiberfil.sys PageFile.sys and (75% 96 GB = 72 GB) for a total of 179 GB. This means that the disc was actually larger. Even the biggest startup drives 500 GB, 750Go you always notice 179GB missing.

  Planned around work.

  The question of the hibernation: hibernation is only useful if you plan to put the system into hibernation - good for computers laptops, but not usually necessary in the workstations. . These systems will be used in audio and video production environments to the each with a dedicated inverter, so it does not intend to put them always in hibernation. Hibernation can safely be disabled in this case.

  http://helpdeskgeek.com/Windows-7/Windows-7-delete-hibernation-file-Hiberfil-sys/

  On the question of Pagefile.sys, we look at a few scenarios.

  Option 1 - use a larger SSD and therefore the size of the pagefile.sys is not a problem. In this case a 300 GB or better yet a 600 GB SSD would be very appropriate

  Option 2: Windows is capable of using a separate drive for this function, if the OS is on a disk and the pagefile.sys on another. What is important is that the drive used for pagefile.sys must have the same performance or be faster than the reader of the OS. So if an SSD is used on the main OS drive, do not use a drive 5400 RPM because problems occur... this reversing technically would work: 5400 RPM drive for OS and an SSD for better pagefile.sys, use two matched SSDs.

  We are fortunate to have a corresponding spare SSD, so we'll probably use it for this purpose.

  Option 3 - we had planned to use a VIRTUAL disk on the system of 96 GB. This means that we had to book 32 GB of RAM to the real system and then assign the other 64 GB of RAM like disc data in memory when working on projects. Load us the data to the VIRTUAL disk and copy to the storage drive when you are finished. Partially risky if there is a power outage because we can lose the files, but with a UPS the risk of crashes. We also have plans of relying on tools to sync files to save the RAMDISK in session. In this scenario, you can actually reduce the size of pagefile.sys since we would never use more than 32 GB of RAM. It is also prudent to reduce if keep you track of the size of the file over time and you have a good idea of the amount of memory you use. So if we ever go beyond 12 GB of usage, then we will reduce the size of the pagefile.sys properly.

  So that's it. It has been a long road to get to this point. Now, we can finally start using the system as planned.

  I'm surprised HP technical support was not aware of these effects. Well.

  Hope this is helpful to someone else out there.

• Question about shared memory

  Hello!

  I have a virtual machine that is configured with 1 GB of RAM and installed with Windows Server 2003. Shortly after starting the virtual machine, the info of the allocation of resources on the memory usage indicates the following:

  

  While the Task Manager Windows VM shows the following:

  

  While the use of the memory of the VM on the host is only 264 MB, why the use of the memory of comments displays 787 MB shared memory? The virtual machine is the only VM running on this host. If I understand correctly, "Shared memory" would theoretically show the amount of memory shared with other virtual machines on this host. For example, let's say I had two W2K3 VMs on that host with 1 GB of RAM each, the counter shared memory would report to the amount of memory that is the same for both these virtual machines and so physically shared. However, since there is no other virtual computer running on this host I don't really understand why he reports 787 MB!  It seems to me that the value of the shared memory is unused memory in fact (since the task inside the guest Manager reports only about 150 MB use and the virtual machine does not seem to consume the 264 MB mentioned on the host).

  Any ideas what I'm missing? Thank you!

  As you say

  • The virtual computer is configured with 1024 MB of RAM

  • The private memory usage is 237 MB

  • Shared memory is 787 MB

  All Windows VMs zero start pages is that they fill all memory with zeros. So VMKernel identifies all pages from scratch can be shared to one. In your scenario THAT VM wrote zeors 1024Mo and out of which 787 MB is shared and still 237 is used which further can be shared. 787 MB shared memory means that it the memory saved with page sharing and memory amount can be used by other processes.

  I hope this helps.

  Thank you.

• Satellite Pro L850 - i5 3210 M shared memory allocation

  Hello

  I am a happy owner of this laptop great and I added an extra RAM to consider to 8 GB.

  All data sheets on the State of sites detailing the gpu that can be assigned up to 1.7 GB of memory share.

  Previous experience from other computers is that this amount of memory is impaired in the BIOS settings, but I don't see any option in the latest BIOS 1.60.

  Obviously theres a lot of RAM to give to the GPU, but I do not see how to assign. The i5 chips allocate dynamically once Windows is running or the BIOS is missing this setting?

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hello

  Shared memory is controlled by the graphics driver and it cannot be controlled manually if running applications needs some shared memory, the pilot would have set this value automatically.
